ED alliance never rented space.. i saw this mentioned somewhere in this thread.
Let me take you back a bit and tell you about the history of Ethereal Dawn.
ED started out as a small carebear alliance under the leadership of an incredible warm hearted person called Soli.
they were small. 100 people or so and living in low sec near Rahadalon or something like that.
I met Soli because we were pirating their members. we got to talking and sometime after that The Establishment and Veto together with Ethereal Dawn and my alliance Atrocitas ended up attacking a station in Providence owned by UShra khan. It was loads of fun. ISS hired the MC against us.. that takes me back haha 
Afterwards me and Soli talked about owning space. the drone regions were just created and still unclaimed.
My corp left the atrocitas and we joined ED and Soli and I ran it together. he took care of the industrial side and social management ( i dont play well with others) and i managed the PVP part.
we decided to give owning space a shot.. we ratted our asses of in 5e in curse to get isk for an outpost.
we build our first outpost in the drone region.I brokered a deal with Vilerat, in exchange for cheap carriers they would leave ED be and with Goons at peace RA follwed suit. allthough conditions were perfect for expansion there was much internal unrest. and Soli and myself were burned out.
Lots of drama later ( i hold no grudges and thats not the point of this reply) my corp left and reformed atrocitas and Soli took a break from Eve. shortly after the temp leadership left too and Ralian took over.
He was giving an alliance with great potential in an area still udnerdeveloped, but with lots of internal problems and distrust. IRC was not a mayor player back then, nor was xxdeatch or the Solar's.
He took ED alliance that counted 225 people at the time and made it grow into a mature alliance with over 2000 members. their region was secured and they could hold their own. well done!!
I allways kept an interest in their endevours because of my involvement early on and they were doing great against RA and Co before Goons and others joined in and the numbers against them were just too overwhelming.
still they fought, but losing that war was inevitable.
after that the alliance started lose members.. spirit was down..inactive members etc..
they tried something in curse and blade beat them there..
All blade did was kick em when they were down.. Not worth all this chestbeating in my opnion. 
ED is a great alliance, i wish them all the best and i hope you guys get back on top.

carriers were sold 10% above build cost... while in that time normally carriers were sold around 25% above build cost. we still made a profit.. just less then the general market would get us at the time
it was a cheap deal for them. a sweetner in diplomacy so to speak.
no rent was paid..
did blade ever own space? otherwise you would know that that is how deals/treaties are made sometimes.

how long did you own space? ED hold on to theirs for 2,5 years.
it does not matter. ED haver rented and they fought of a lot of different alliances in the time they where there.
fighting the largest power block in eve assisted by RA and friends is not doable for any alliance in eve right now..
