Five years,
It wasn't remotely on the radar that we'd be around this long when Silinary and myself started the corp together. Five years, and we still keep our original office in Stacmon rented for sentimentality. After all the years past, and the age bug on our corp info, I had to ask Sil just exactly when we were born. He had the files from our original website, as well as the very first entry on the news page there:
Quote: May 7th, 2003
Imperium Technologies is founded by Avernus and Silinary. The wealth these two individuals had were invested into a corporation to bring a solution to technological and manufacturing problems. Both these individuals had blueprints including, Miner 1, Civilian Shield Booster, Uranium Charge S, Phalanx Rocket, and Sabertooth Light Missiles. Production and research began on all these items right away.
Humble beginnings indeed.
In these years, we've had an amazing group of people come through our doors, we've brought in complete newbs and seen them grow into respected fleet commanders, killing machines, members who have sorted and run entire alliance logistics programs, market gurus, still others who dedicate themselves to keeping us on the leading age on understanding all the mechanics of Eve as they are introduced and evolve. On the whole, a tremendous collection of dedicated individuals. Some are still with us, others have moved on, all of them have a place in their hearts that still tells them they are IT.
For the first time since we've started publically celebrating our Birthday on these forums with others, we're not in an alliance, this past New Year's Eve, we waved farewell to Firmus Ixion. They had all of 5 minutes forum notice of our leaving before I hit the 'Leave Alliance' button... newb that I am, I thought it would be like kicking a member and having 24h in the alliance channel remaining... what do I know, never left an alliance before.
The history of FIX leaving Querious is well enough documented. Dog piled, no allied support, end of era in JK-FIX. We made no deals with anyone, we asked for no help, we simply withdrew our assets on our own steam. IT had no interest in going to Delve, one of the options available at the time and we had a supreme itch to scratch. A change. It was time to head for new turf and see some new sights, hang out with some old friends.
We ended up in Syndicate.
Overall, that was a mistake. We learned something about ourselves pretty quick in Syndicate, there are lots of targets, but it just didn't feel the same when we were shooting people we didn't know or care about. After having just about got all our logistics setup there, we made a decision that came with a lot of ease... we moved back to Querious. (The logistics guys were happy enough, yet also ready to tear me a new one for making them move all that stuff just to turn us right around)
A 5th anniversary is somewhat special. Logically, it's just an arbitrary number, but logic never was that fun to begin with. This Saturday the 10th, we'll be hosting a little party.
All friends, past members, and god knows who else out of the woodwork are invited to join us in a little bash (If you're currently a member of the Coalition, you may want to sit this party out). Staging point will be Agil, Khanid, 17:00 Eve Time.
- Bring a ship kitted for pvp - Bring your favorite poison - Bring an updated clone
Since I can count our positive standings on one hand, we'll be opening up a temporary public channel tonight going through to this weekend - ITBDAY. No temp standings could mean connection drop = instant target on warp in to gang. Add in drunks... it`s a pretty certain doom.
If nobody is in the channel at the time, fire me a mail.
No idea how many people we`ll have come out, don`t really care too much, fun will be had.
Happy Birthday IT!
Cheers, Av.

Edited by: Creed Richards on 07/05/2008 05:00:08 Avernus and to all of IT, my most heartfelt congratulation.
It was sad to see you leave FIX, but I do hope that our paths will cross again.

God Bless

Happy birthday... it seems that I took all thoughts of alliance death with me, and now MC is dead and IT is having a 5-year anniversary. Great job, Avernus, Silinary, and the rest of you, for keeping it going all this time.
