Hakata Group (Player corporation)

Hakata Group [-HG-] is the expansive/nullsec wing of the Hakata conglomerate, consisting of Hakata Industries [HAK] (currently an empire-only operation,) Hakata Exploration [HAX] (currently involved in the Caldari fight against the Gallente Federation) and Hakata Group (by far the largest corporation of these.)

The corporation was originally an offshoot from Rather Odd Industrial Dynasty [R01D], which again originally was a fusing between the industrialists in Hakata Industries [HAK] and Momentary Lapse of Reason [ML0R]. During this time the corp lived mainly in Geminate, flying with Cruel Intentions [CI] ([R01D] was there when TheKiller8 made his epic flash video of the assault against BWF-ZZ.)

With the creation of [-HG-], the members left it's association with [CI] and started looking for other alliances to join. After some "diplomatic efforts" [-HG-] found a home with Xelas Alliance in Fountain.

This lead to a great period of excitement and growth where Hakata Group found new friends (props go to Bravehearts, Setenta Corp [STC], Fallen Angel's [FALG] and the others) and finally got access to capital ships. In this period the corporation also established it's core modus operandi - to gather strong and self-sufficient individuals that join together for fun and exploration of all aspects of the game. The members found that a flat leadership structure worked very well for us (with Yuri Hakata functioning as the all-mighty figurehead CEO) and have since then had many "turnovers" where different people have taken upon themselves to make cool things happen.

After the disbanding of Xelas Alliance, Fallen Angel's, Hakata Group and a few others created the Blade<dot> Alliance where -HG- lives to this day.

The corporation motto is "War is Business. Business is War."
