Shadow Corona Cartel

Below is some player created fiction about an eve corporation and it's members, written by Patrick AeonIlluminate

STORYLINE - Corp founder

Shadow Corona Cartel was created by Crucis Cassiopeiae who is connected by blood to one of the biggest mafia families back in time before the New Eden wormhole was discovered. That family was known by ruling several solar systems which were all parts of costellations very known and popular by human kind even in the beggining of their evolution.

Only 3 Cassiopeiaes passed through New Eden wormhole, later known as EVE Gate, and their true last name with their past was forgotten and buried because they were not proud of it. Every one of them ended up in different world in New Eden, where they got their nickname "Cassiopeiae", because the rulling of whole costellations was never forgotten. They ended up as Amarrians, Caldari and Minmantar. Minmantarians just vanished without a trace of existance. The Amarr and Caldari remained, but their goods and properties were either given away, stolen or sold, and so they started to disappear with every one of them after each other. Except two of them, Crucis and Sirius, who got names of costellations because it was simply always a tradition.

Both Crucis and Sirius are proud to be Cassiopeiaes, because they do not know the real history and past of their family which has written in itself many bloodbaths, bone cracks, pain and even death of hundrets of thousands just to earn money and rule the galaxy.

STORYLINE - True Friendship

Crucis and Patrick have known each other for very long time. When Crucis was a young man still on academy, Patrick just appeared, and ended up as Crucis' parent's slave. After Crucis' parents died he relieved Patrick from all duties to the Cassiopeiae family as he respected him because Patrick was from a completely different world. having survived many battles and wars, and also considered him as a friend.

They haven't separated ever since and are helping each other whenever help is needed. Together they set sail through EVE galaxy and ended up in Ireco Industries. A corporation which could be very powerfull and has many members, but has no leathership, only the tax collector. To bypass that tax, Crucis and Patrick followed Aeon Tom and Testrun4201 to a solar system 20 jumps away, called Hiroudeh.

In Hiroudeh they met many new pilots, including an ex-Irecoi, Meryl Onyx which after few weeks of co-operation created her own corporation called "Pietra Nera". Patrick and Crucis were the first to join it, but after few months, CEO, Meryl dissapeared, and chaos started to rule in Pietra. Members of that corporation instead of helping each other, started to steal goods and move to other corporations or simply dissapear too.

So Crucis spent several days on learning about corporations, and training corporation skill and when completed, he created a new and promising corporation called Shadow Corona Cartel, together with his lost cousins Sirius and Patrick...

STORYLINE - The Traitor

When traveling through space, Patrick was not alone. As he was a commander, he had a young soldier under his command, who was not forced to come but he wanted to do so. They traveled through uncontrolled space, randomly and they only knew that in 62 hours time they passed 82,450 lightyears.

The young soldier's name was Alar and was under Patrick's command for 3 years, and never did complain. When they arrived they appeared in Amarr space in an industrial ship, they had no idea whether where they were or what was going on. After the ship docked one of the crew members noticed them, and since he was a good person, he helped them escape un-noticed from others. They were very different from others and surely would have been captured and put in prison or even killed.

Soon after they got out, they found a place to stay. They lived in Chaven moon station for years. They both saw and knew how the Amarrians lived and work, and they had a dissagreement about the slavery. Both Patrick and Alar were working on a plan for 2 years on how to get to Empress Jamil, and break the slavery. 2 days before realizing the plan, Amarrian soldiers broke into their home and took Patrick to prison. They both knew that someone heard about their plan and told the Amarrian Council about it, as the council had placed a 2 billion ISK bounty for the person who catches them or at least gets some proof about the plan.

Since Alar was the slave of money and richness, he did it; he brought all the material about the plan to the Council. So Patrick was captured and forced to live in a cell for 6 years, and after that, since he wanted to break the slavery, he was forced to become a slave. Guarded day and night, every hour of every day, every minute of every hour.

That was how he ended up in Cassiopeiae family, and worked for them for 22 years. As for Alar, he became an Amarrian soldier, but during battle his ship and pod were destroyed. As Alar was not Amarrian by birth, his clone was unsuccesfully activated and his memories were erased, so he doesn't remember anything that happened before. Patrick hopes that he'll never see Alar's traitorous face again, and his name shall never be mentioned again.

STORYLINE - At the Academy

Soon after Crucis' parents died, in an accident when an asteroid hit their transport ship, Crucis relieved Patrick of all duties. And even what was a suprise for him, Crucis payed the scolarship at the academy for him. His imprisonment from the foiled plan to visit Empress meant he was rejected from the Imperial Academy, where Crucis was, and had moved to Sehmy.

Patrick started his studies in Hedion University, several jumps away... When he started his studies, Crucis was on the academy for 7 years already and that made a slight difference between finishing them. It was a damn pain in the ass to get some grades from highly ranked commanders as their mind was rarely on academic stuff but focused on the battlefield. Since he had already lived through that, he knew what they feel like and their weak point for comunication, thus getting grades sooner and finished the academy sooner.

Every once in a while injured pilots and crew members were dragged to Hedion University for first aid and hospital help, but everyone knows that they are dragged there to strike fear into students. It resulted with judgement being called upon the Minmantarians. As passing by them, Patrick was just staring, seeing even their souls in pain and agony, even if they get into new bodies (clones). If they tasted death, they will never forget it and after experiencing that, they would mostly turn to be miners or industrialists and have a peaceful life.

Even if pilots are immortal, their souls yell and scream in agony to be released for the whole ethernety. There were only few soldiers in the classroom in which Patrick was with other students, nurses and some students helped them, they are screaming, yelling in pain, bleeding, burned all over, some of them passed out, even one died... No one could follow the class, because they were concentrating on help for those soldiers, most of the students were just awaiting for these medical sessions to end, every time they just start. Also as these medical sessions existed, there were some "Point Of View" session where students would be taken to the battlefield to experience the war, sometimes even the whole class vanished, and their clones were not activated, what is a mystery even now-days.

Sometime later after the medical session, the POVS started, and of course few classes were sent out in Sigils to observe a battle, They jumped through the gate to the system which was a line between Amarr Empire and Minmantar Republic. They were only about 50 kilometers from the stargate, and watching the fight between several Amarr battleships and hundreds of Minmantarian frigates and destroyers, which owned the amarrians.

A Gallente ship jumped in, it was of course known that no one attacks those Sigils because that would be worse than a war crime, and even the furiousest warriors wouldn't even lock on them. It was accepted for minmantarian students, but the unthinkable happened, the Gallente Megathron locked on the Sigil, and opened fire, doing critical damage with every shot. With first few shots, Sigil's warp core, and engines were destroyed so it became an easy and defenceless target. The pilot called for help, and the closest Amarr battleship and even several Minmantar frigates came to aid, but when they got in range it was too late. They did destroy the Megathron, but the Sigil was already in bad shape.

In an attempt to escape, the Megathron's pilot in his capsule entered warp, but the transport ship full with students was within it's course, and they crashed. In that moment, breathing and heartbeats stopped, and the silence begun. All of a sudden, the students saw a bright light, but not because they were dead, it was the main light in the university's medical/clone bay. They were waking up, every one after each other, screaming, yelling... As he woke up, Patrick jumped way high, and fell from his clone box. In agony and pain, he couldn't breath for the first few moments and still feeling pieces of the ship cutting through his body like blades and bullets. With the disappearance of air, the pressure was falling and blood everywhere, he panicked and seeing every one of his classmates suffering the same way. He needed several weeks to recover from that, but he passed it, and will never forget the taste of death.
