My History of JK-FIX:
I don't know everything, but I had a good line in the politics of the time.
First, we will start at the beginning....
My first trip to JK-FIX was to a hunting system. Back then you could easily chain in one belt, while others stayed in other belts. There were no BS's, it was all cruisers, and JK-FIX had a nice little community of hunters. Friendly, watched each others backs, and was a very cool piece of free space, before alliances took a hold of the game.
In that time, alliances were being forged, and m0o was roaming about. As a response to some of the incursions on the community, an idea was sprung to form some kind of protection. CFS and the CFS Navy were born (I was not part of the discussions, but I did join the CFS Navy). CFS Navy actually could hold it's own at one point, with the likes of Madcap Magician, Saul Saiden, Serge, and a lot of other very willing pilots. They learned from fighting m0o. But, during this time, the first parasite started infecting the community, his name was Ends, of Ends Journey. Him and his 12 alt accounts, clogging up the gates with numerous haulers, mining off belt bistot. He wanted to buy the CFS, and even bought m0o for a short time. CFS Navy, the good incarnation, started going belly up. The alliance corps weren't supporting it much (except for a few), and CFS Navy lost it's leadership. A few people tried to carry it on, but with lack of support, and Ends buying members for his bistot machine, it wasn't the same.
I was in a corp called Phoenix Rising Inc. (PRI) at this time, and we were in active ops with SeTI Corporation. We merged, along with JBX into Ascendancy Inc. (ASCI). Our forward base was in Chamemi, and we because very well liked, and respected (contrary to some other opinions) in what was now Querious. During this time, we chose to stay nuetral, but supported a lot of the same goals as CFS. I think this is when Nez and J.H.E.N.R. entered the scene. Things were working well, and Black Avatar was inhabiting the space (somewhat, as they were involved with FA too). The stations were mostly protected by Imperium, ASCI, and Black Avatar, with the pipes as CFS's responsibility.
Enter the dark age...
With BA controlling the 3BK station (that ASCI was protecting mostly at the time), a little dissention started unfolding. We were mad at the taxes, and the fact that we were little more than a pawn in the process to some people. In this time, someone recorded an ASCI Ventrilo convo, about taking over the 3BK station, so we could manage it, and have something to call our own. Unfortunately, the convo was between 3 non-director members, just going over the possibilties in EVE, and this was taken way out of context. At the time, we were already in conversations with Stain Empire (to become Stain Alliance), about moving to their space.
I will repeat this once, B.A. did not push ASCI out. We were very torn between Querious, which we considered a home, and Stain. We were ready to fight B.A., but through diplomacy, we tried to keep a already volitale region from exploding on the spot. The war lasted less than a few hours. I'm not gonna mention Ginger Magicians part in all of this, cause it was really a side quest.
During the dimplomacy talks, I asked Yodoran to make a defense channel for the region cause CFS wasn't doing anything. That became QDF, which was the military wing that drove FIX into existance. At this time ASCI was already en route to Stain to help with the CA wars there.
Yes, I could go into much more detail... But what started out as a simple, and cool free space community, and a unique aspect of the game, became a load of crap in the matter of a few months.. Starting with someone thinking he could buy people off. Some play the game like that, but the original JK-FIX community was filled with heart and soul players, and I preffer to remember that over the rest.
