History
Founded April 8, 2007 by Sam Reynolds of Blue Sun Holdings, BOOST has been home to over 40 corporations during the first two years of its existence. The history of BOOST can be divided roughly into 4 segments:
Phase 1: The Rising of Blue Sun
Ranging from the alliance's creation in April of 2007 to December of 2007, this period of BOOST's history ends with the departure of founding member and alliance commander Hakuriu. Command of the alliance at that point was assigned to Mercenaries 4 Hire CEO, MKB Industries.
Phase 2: Mercenaries at the Helm
This segment of BOOST history ranges from the beginning of MKB's command through to a complete alliance restructure on 2008.03.07 that lead to the departure of 6 corps, most notably Mercenaries 4 Hire and the last remaining founding corporation, Blue Sun Security.
Phase 3: MPACT and T-RET
The restructuring on 2008.03.07 led to an alliance primarily dominated by Terminal Impact Enterprises and Third Return Inc. In November of 2008, MPACT merged with T-RET, leaving Third Return Inc. as the primary corporation in the alliance.
Phase 4: Into the Dark
In March of 2009, alliance founder Hakuriu rejoined the alliance and took over executorship of the alliance as CEO of Divide By Zero. With the release of Apocrypha, the focus of the alliance began to shift away from a long history of anti-piracy and high-sec industry towards wormhole exploration and W-Space colonization.
Alliance Goals and Structure
The following alliance charter outlines alliance goals, leadership structure, strategies and alliance fees.
Alliance goals
- To provide a safe and secure environment for harvesting Sleeper Tech, gases and high end minerals
- To expand steadily throughout W-Space to provide maximum resources and prepare for possible w-space sovereignty
- To be the largest and most successful dedicated W-Space alliance
Leadership Structure
At the top of the food chain is the alliance commander, who has the final say in all alliance wide matters, always in the best interest of all those involved.
Next in the chain are the alliance commander's two immediate councilors, one each for security and industry. Their responsibility is to summarize the state of the alliance in their prospective areas and report to the alliance commander with their findings and any alliance-wide concerns. Any system commander, CEO or director can discuss issues and concerns with the appropriate councilor. Councilors may make decisions within their prospective area of concentration, or bring issues to a vote between the councilors and the alliance commander.
Reporting to those councilors are system commanders, one for each system that the alliance claims and operates within. Each system commander in turn may have dedicated security and industry advisers (depending on system size) to keep them aware of activity within their system, and any excursions made by their system inhabitants into neighboring systems.
It is up to system commanders to determine the human resources needed within their systems to harvest the resources within, in a secure manner and without fully depleting those resources. That may be one corp or ten corps depending on corp size and capabilities, as well as the difficulty levels of the system itself. A large enough corp may also be responsible for more than one system. System commanders are also responsible for aiding in the recruitment effort to find corps to bring into the alliance to fill their system's needs.
The councilors and alliance commander maintain an open-door policy, meaning anyone in the alliance may come to them if they feel their concerns are not being fairly represented by their directors or system commanders.
Strategies
Corporation activities can be roughly divided into the categories of security and industry. Some corps focus more heavily on one and require supporting corps in their systems to provide the other. Some corps are able to cover both areas equally well.
System commanders are sovereign in their system and are responsible for creating working strategies for balancing available resources with the size, type and number of corps working within the system. The primary security and industry councilors provide guidance based upon information gathered about what works and what doesn't as time goes by.
Resource distribution is handled at the system level by System Commanders under the advisement of the alliance commander and primary councilors to ensure the best use of knowledge gained throughout the alliance.
Joining BOOST
Blue Sun Trust is currently recruiting small corporations focused on wormhole exploration and colonization. Corps are required to maintain their own POS and an active presence in their settled system.
