Corp 54 (Player corporation)

The Lord loosed upon them his fierce anger All of his fury and rage. He dispatched against them a band of Avenging Angels" - The Scriptures, Book II, Apocalypse 10:1

In late October 112, Wildcard Trek was approached by the then Leader of the CVA Aralis, and tasked with the mission to build a new Corporation in which he would recruit, train, and build a fighting force capable of defeating the enemy on the modern Providence Battlefield. Wildcard Trek left the Celestial Janissaries and the CVA to obtain a university degree planet side in business and corporate organization which took about a months time. (There were rumors of lavish parties at the Hedion University where several local authorities had to be called in due to excessive loud music, hoards of University attendees, shaved goats, exotic dancers, X-Rated Holoreels shown on the main viewers, and Crates of Spirits were involved)

Upon returning to the CVA, The now CEO and founder of Corp 54 [J0KR] Wildcard Trek had made some progress in his efforts to recruit competent warriors to fight the Invaders of Providence. Settling in the Ziriert solar system allowed surgical strikes into Providence, placing pressure on several systems including R3, N8, XR3, 1-1, and X6.

Against ALL Authorities had been driven from their space from a combined force of Pandemic Legion and Initiative Mercenaries, the contract was over and -A- found that Initiative Mercenaries didnt have the stomach for long drawn out warfare on their own without PL support and easily recaptured Catch. -A- graciously offered the CVA some space in Northern Catch that was on the boarder of Providence. Aralis had tasked The Legion of Spoon with occupying the space. When Aralis stepped down Spoons decided to give the space back to -A-, however Corp 54 realized that that would leave CVA with virtually no owned space. So we stepped up and offered to take a system so we could launch raids into Northern Providence from our Catch foothold. BR-N97 would become to be know as the front line. The system would be fully upgraded, while our pilots would earn isk there one day we would turn around the next day and raid North, East and Western Providence.

It wasnt long before the tales of glory had reached the 4 corners of Eve and people from all over flocked to Corp 54 in an attempt to join in and claim some of that glory for themselves. Corp 54 set a standard of training and education like no other Corporation in CVA before it. Requiring all Pilots to learn the skills and talents of Logistics, Amarrian Battleships, Hacs, Recons, and Black Ops. Due to this vigorous training regime Corp 54 along with a few Allied pilots were able to keep a defanged Nynx class Super Carrier at bay in the system of N8 at his staging POS. For several hours separating him from his defanged Carrier friends stuck on the Station undock while SBU's were placed and on lined in the system. This showed what 14 highly motivated and trained 54 warriors could accomplish.

Shortly after this action the tales of success would resonate throughout Providence and CVA. Operations in the next days and weeks would see AWG1 and Wildcard Trek lead numerous fleets of various size and shapes launch the re invasion of Providence against the forces of EWOKS and LEGIO ASTARTES ARCANUM the rear guards for the EVOKE and NCDOT invasion of the North.

Early successes included the recapture of 18-GZM, 1-1I53, N8XA-L, G-B22J, TU-RI6, and the successful SBUing and reinforcement of multiple other systems including ZT-LPU, AY-YCU, S9X-AX, various systems in the 2V pocket. and several other systems including X-R3NM, X6AB-Y. It was while X6AB-Y was under heavy siege by CVA and Allied forces Equinox informed us that a deal had been reached with NCDOT and EVOKE where they would yield all conquered space in Providence to CVA and its Allies in return for the cost of the TCU AND IHUB's they had placed there. The beginning of the fight and recapture of Providence was over.
