9th Fleet

The 9th Fleet was an alliance originally formed and created by players of other online space based game called Homeworld. The alliance was created by Splice and members of Red Alert Corp (later transitioning into Turbulent Subversion) and allies from Wings of Redemption, Proteus Ship Services, Dire Trucking, Hidden Realm Inc. and Phantom Aerospace. Centered around the Ladistier, Old Man Star and Aeschee the alliance was designed to combat roaming pirates by providing a strong fleet presence for members and a central location for members to roam freely. Operating under NBSI the alliance engaged in many battles , gate camps, and more provided many targets and fun for members while ship losses kept the industrial base busy at all times.

After a few months the first alliance leadership went inactive including CEOs due to real life events. This left the organization leaderless and an alliance in name alone. After some discussion, a reorganization took place where many corps CO-CEOs or directors stepped up to lead the alliance. At this time the alliance was less than 200 members but would swell to over 400 members in a matter of six months through the hard work of members of leaders thus adding new corps such as including Foxfire Industries, Interstellar Business Machines, International Brotherhood, Mutually Assured Destruction, and Gene Works. Each of these corps brought needed logistics and security to the alliance and helped bolster the organization wallet and membership.

With this expansion the alliance began aggressive actions in neighboring systems and regions. Along with running the low sec pipe from Murethan towards Costelle and out to Syndicate the alliance also began to clash with a local corps that was turning named The Dead Parrot Shoppe. This corp had set up large scale market operations in Aeschee which traditionally was a pass through system . This brought massive amounts of traffic from outlaws and other pirates who would normally travel towards Syndicate thus creating a security risk for the local area requiring a stronger stance. 9th Fleet openly began engaging in raids into Aeschee targeting corps attempting to bolster the market. In response The Dead Parrot Shoppe reached out to local corps who they had supplied for mediations and support including former alliance members and founders Red Alert Corp now titled MicroFunk and Turbulent Subversion which obviously created some tension within the fleet.
