General History

Band of Brothers <BOB> is an alliance first formed in 2004 by the joining of 3 corporations: Reikoku, Evolution and Black Nova Corp. SirMolle was known as the founder and alliance leader. The alliance was formed shortly after the Great Northern War, and proceeded to find their home in the regions Delve and Period Basis, expanding at times to surround regions of Querious after the fall of Firmus Ixion in 2005. In 2006, BoB also expanded to the regions of Paragon Soul and Feythabolis during The Great War against Ascendant Frontier (ASCN). BoB has been involved in many wars across the universe, including major campaigns in both the North and the South.

See main article: The Pendulum War

On September 28, 2006, BoB declared war and in a campaign lasting several weeks decisively defeated ASCN. This led to ASCN disbanding in early 2007.

"The Great War"

See main article: The Great War

Following on from The Pendulum War, the GBC continued to attack into former LV and -V- territory, fighting against the RSF. This led eventually to almost all other major 0.0 entities, notably the NC, SC, and "Totuga", fighting against the GBC and pushing them back to "Fortress Delve". The campaign ended in a bloody stalemate in early 2008, with the anti-GBC forces unable to break GBC resistance in Delve, and eventually losing interest and going home. The GBC then retook Querious and Period Basis.

MAX Campaign, GBC, and The Northern Wars

In mid July 2008, BoB made the announcement of intentions to once again become involved in warfare within the Northern regions of Deklein, Fade, Pure Blind, and Tribute. Initial speculation stated that BoB's intentions were to make way for their ally Triumvirate. (TRI). Defending forces in the region included the Imperial Republic of the North (IRON), Morsus Mihi (MM), Mostly Harmless (MH), and RAZOR Alliance.

BoB started off in Deklein against IRON, where they found quick success in capturing regional sovereignty. IRON was not able to withstand preasure from the much larger alliance and was forced to fall back to regroup. BoB then moved on to Tribute where they engaged the remainder of the Northern Coalition, including Morsus Mihi and RAZOR Alliance. Unlike the previous campaigns, BoB found trouble in the Northern Coalition. Able to match BoB in strength and determination, the Northern Coalition would not step down against the massive capital fleets and intended to fight until the end. In response to this growing threat, BoB formed a task force known as the GBC, or greater BoB community. The allies called in involved Digital Renegades, Executive Outcomes, Goodfellas, Skunkworks, and Triumvirate.. The war between the two sides led to some of the heaviest losses in the history of EVE, including 4 Titan class starship losses and countless control tower and battleship losses. In the end, the Northern Coalition's determination paid off, as they pushed the majority of the GBC out of the area. Some remnants remain in Tribute, including mainly Goodfellas and Triumvirate. forces.

Great Wildlands, Scalding Pass

After their pullout in the North, BoB has turned it's eye to the eastern region of Scalding Pass. Scalding Pass is currently held by Goonswarm, but is rumored to be on the auction block. This new war could combine current wars in the south to form one of the largest collection of players involved in any war, involving Against ALL Authorities (AAA), BoB, Goonswarm (GS), Red Alliance (RA), SOLAR FLEET, Tau Ceti Federation (TCF), and xXDEATHXx.
