Enough with the POS business!

After four months of POS-caretaking, ice harvesting and hauling various commodities to be used at POS operations I thought to myself: "This can't be all there is". I expressed my feelings to my associate Lex Diaboli, who had been a great help in keeping the POS running and with whom I had done some lvl4 missioning too. He was not too happy about my decision to halt the operation and move to (supposedly) greener pastures. Thanks to a loyal partner for all the help, but I had to move along.

During all my time in [KAR] and [FEN] I had kept contact with a handful of the peeps I worked with in Erasers. One of my closest [ERAS]-friends, Camcalen, had also had his cup filled to the brim with the unsatisfying Erasers protocol and had formed a corporation of his own, The Howling Griffins. I had followed the development of the corporation from the start and had been idling on their public communications channel from the beginning. Somewhere along the way I helped Camcalen by making a full set of max run missile BPC's and thus we started to talk more in detail. It wasn't long before he asked for the first time to join [HGR]. At this point I was pretty bored with all the carebear shit and was ready to try something new. I told him I would wait until my last ME/PE/Copy jobs would be ready from my POS and I would then take it down and join his corporation. Just a short notification here: I never terminated my own corporation but named an alt as its CEO and it is still running, though in more or less"desk drawer" -mode.

Today, after some 9 months ín the service of [HGR], after 2 POS adventures (one in Providence and one in Detorid), after loosing 2 jump clones with +4 implant sets + HW's, we are back in Empire space. We had a quite a successful two-week war against a corp called Chaos Affliction who were allegedly can-flipping SOB's and generally pestering the newb's in Heimatar hi-sec. All in all the war gave the corp the enema it needed: peeps were all scattered throughout the known universe doing their own thing and there was no mutual goal or operations. The war gathered us all once again under the corporate banner to fight the enemy. A lot of our members had had absolutely no PvP-experience before this war and this rather succesful war boosted the morale and self-confidence of all the members, I would say. At the end of the war we also received reinforcements in the form of Eugen Ladder, a fighter and experienced FC who had joined a different corp some time earlier in search of more PvP-action but was now ready to come back and retake his position as a respectable damage-dealer with his notorious Megathron-class battleship fitted with second generation hi-power blasters. The Howling Griffins Killboard shows the degree of his devotion:)

The Howling Griffins has recently formed an alliance with two other corporations: Fenris Polaris [FEN] and The Legion of Steel Lions [LSL]. The newly formed alliance is called "The Polaris Syndicate" [HRR]. What the future holds for us is unknown but we do know what it is we want: a place of our own where you don't have to pay anyone for ratting or mining rights and don't have to take shit from no-one. Of course, this means we have to be prepared to fight for our dream and I am certain we shall do so. I sincerelly hope we can rally up all the members to form a working community, all doing their bit for the common good. Thumbs up!
