Foundation
Fatal Ascension appeared as an Alliance in January 2009 out of the ashes of Covenant Of Prophecy alliance. FA was originally the creation of the corporation Shadowed Command and its then-CEO, Raven Shadows. The Alliance was based in the Domain lowsec area surrounding Misaba and the Providence entry point of R3-K7K, where its leader and executor corporation owned and operated several POS towers. -FA- remained a modestly sized alliance for some time; first corporate recruits whips chains and ballgags departing within a month of joining.
Some degree of drama appears to have been involved in this departure and it started up a moderate rivalry between FA CEO Raven Shadows and WHIPS leader utchytotty which persisted during their time in Providence, and the latter's foundation of the Alliance Core Factor.
Life In Providence
Like many small-scale, carebear-friendly alliances at the time, the nascent Fatal Ascension spent time in Providence, enjoying the access to 0.0 security space allowed by the CVA's Not Red Don't Shoot policy and the relative safety this provided. As was also the case with other, Providence-based but non-holder Alliances, FA grew steadily and developed a good rapport with Curatores Veritatis, Sylph, Sev3rance and close allies Fidelas Constans and Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive.
As noted above, a mild rivalry existed between FA and Core Factor; mostly expressed by a lack of motivation on either part to assist the other and being generally dismissive of one another in public and private. By October 2010, FA had secured themselves a solid position in Providence, with several valuable moons; high standing with Curatores Veritatis Alliance, and the potential of being granted sovereign space within Providence. Fatal Ascension at this point, had also shifted its recruitment targets to more aggressive and active corporations, such as the PVP corps R.EVE.olution and Strategem Reloaded as part of their efforts to secure themselves a place in the region. Nevertheless, despite regular efforts to form patrols and roams within Providence and the work of US and EU 'admirals' Baggiosan and Laina Delapore, FA's PVP remained very much a small-scale thing.
You Shall Not Scalding Pass
Following the collapse of the Provibloc, FA needed a new home. There was some discussion amongst leadership over the best possible course of action at this time; whether to lurk in lowsec, take up an offer from Ushra'Khan to become vassals of the new Providence owners or seek out new pastures.
The offer from U'K was rejected (the timeframe for capitulation may also have expired by the time Raven gave this answer) and it was decided that FA's best choice was to take up an invitation from old friends Enforcers of Serenity to come and live with them and their allies Primary., Cult of War and Gentlemen's Club in Scalding Pass. FA initially moved to the 51ZT-6 constellation, taking possession of DE-A7P , JMH-PT, EIN-QG, S-E6ES with sovereignty over X9V-15 pending, awaiting the departure of renters Syndicate of Independent Nations. An initial payment of 1 months rent was made, though burgeoning relations with Primary. saw no further rental payments made and FA were regarded by Primary. as partners rather than renters. FA's Scalding Pass holdings later expanded, following the departure of EoS, to include U-IVGH and K212-A.
The coalition of Scalding Pass was a somewhat tenuous one; Enforcers and Primary. did not get along entirely well with CoW and Gentlemen's Club and EoS were pushed out of the region by the latter pair shortly after FA moved in. The less than entirely cordial political atmosphere, continued trouble with ex-PL French Corp Section XIII raids and early diplomatic issues with major regional allies Atlas led to a feeling of disgruntlement among many corporations, which expressed itself internally in the form of drama and squabbling. Thus it was that, when Goonswarm announced they were invading Scalding Pass with new friends TEST and old pals PL, it didn't FA long to see the writing painted in huge letters on the wall. Between CoW and GC being off up North doing Atlas' bidding as part of the latest MAX campaign by IT Alliance and the general lack of confidence in Atlas themselves as allies, it was decided FA would probably provide little more than a brief splat in the path of the inbound invasion force and that it would serve us better to withdraw, handing over sov to Primary. in the process.
