History Of The Void Server

[Maverick]

I can't help noticing the old Spartan. What a beauty!

[Verminard]

Ahhh the old spartan, a beutifully modelled ship. It had to be removed, but it was such fun to fly for a while.

[Maverick]

Yeah what a beautifully detailed design it is. And how I would have loved to fly this Black Beauty. Is there really no chance at all we can get it back?  :(

[quote="Travesty";p="191235"]The Void is now about 4 and a bit years old. When I started here 30 odd players felt busy lol. There were 3 admins, I seem to remember, Strail (Cadfael), Clavat and Lex Luther; some one may correct me on Lex.
The king of npc kills on the server at teh time was Wasted Warrior.
Of the Clans I can remember N*O, BloodPac, TNG, IT and the newly started BBB. there was also a spattering of pirates and freelance pilots.
The first clan war was between BBB and Bloodpac. We were helped out by N*O (our longest standing allies) and IT sided with BloodPac. The war was over pretty quickly, with Takashin and the rest of the BloodPac eventualy leaving the server.
Shortly after this 2 members of the BBB left to start up the Shadows clan,, with their eveil alien rp, which nrought about the start of the largest war the server has seen.
During this time lots of new clans joined the server, such as KBA, Stargate, Mafia, Knights, Syndicate and HK. Some of these clans joining in the war. KBA and Stargate aligning with the BBB and a new clan named Rolls, formed by an x member of Stargate, becoming allies along with Syndicate, with the Shadows.
This war was to see the last of the serious all out fighting, with pilots using everything at their disposal including botts and batts.
After some rather serious business with the leader of Rolls, ended up being awarded the illustrious title of the first  to recieve a copmplete ban from server, which ended up with BBB and Shadows actualy joining up to hunt down the Rolls leaders, the war was brought to a shakey end.
After the disolution of Rolls, two of its members stayed on. Stick became a member of BBB and Viva El Presidente who flew as a Freelancer before joining Knights.
It was during this period that the pirate influence in Sirious began to Grow. A new clan, named XEF, led by Master and Entropy Slayer, came into being. With the recently implemented 2015 mod came an extremely lucrative trade route from the Dysons sphere system to the Delta system, both new systems. This brought about plenty of trading and in turn plenty for pirates to hunt.
Added to this the new clan system, scene of many a pirate raid on the BBB home planet Kress, you didn't have to look far for action.
Another Clan, set up by ex HK members also came into being at this point, the Saints, a neutral clan who set up their home in Sparta.
By now the pvp culture was spawned and the use of botts and batts came to an end, some say this detracted from the enjoyment of fighting against other players, but those who disliked botts and batts  were the loudest and as the server was undergoing a large influx of players it spread through the newer player base.
Other new clans that were about at this time: HFC, DW, KA, Samurai, Ooutlaws, NS, BoP, GPP.
New members of staff were created around this time also, with the Guard position being created as a response to the ever expanding amount of players. Some of the first to take up positions as guards: Wayfarer, Elessar, Admiral, Fracture, Tiods, Durango,  Spartan, Tracker, Sidhe, Wraith and Constantine; a few of whom later became Admins.
In august of 2005 the forums had to be wiped and reset, the earliest join dates you'll see are from around the 18th august that year.
I'll write some more in a bit lol gotta pop out for a bit.
Sorry for any stuff, people, clans, I've left out. I'm sure others have more to add  ;)
Edit: In my opinion Mafia Zach was the man with the skills in terms of pvp. Also his clan mate Wez was pretty darn hot.

Yes travesty, I remember all you said here. But you forgot us, maybe you dont think we are part of the main story but I am sure that many veterans remember COYOTE & ESPAÑA clan (that had wars with XEF,Syndicate,Saints,Shadows, and many more) and the sangreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee word in the system chat. ESPAÑA stablished in HISPANIA ship and we were the first clan that started to defend a system here (you and main clans had a System )

Coyote&España clan deserves to be remembered

[Salgy]

Yea m8, Espana was a great clan. But I think Trav talked about earliest days of server, Espana came later to the Void. There were days, when only few people flied on server. I remember clans like BBB, KBA, Shadows, HK, +tng+ and MAFIA. Clans like XEF, Saints and Syndicate was made from members of HK Clan. So they came after this part.

Nice memories here. Cheers, Sal

[Stoertebecker]

Side note...clans were bigger in "those days" than later on, but there were fewer of them.

HK on void, before it fell apart, bordered to 125 active members back then, often with 10+ of them online

Cheers

Becker

[Verminard]

Yes Espana clan do deserve to be remembered, you guys certainly had an impact on the server from the moment you arrived, as did the Tamacco loving lunatics when they appeared.

[Travesty]

Sorry to have not metioned ESPANIA in the bit I wrote. I finished just about when you guys started up. Had many many good fights with Coyote. I remember the first day I met him, I had flown to Sparta to help out Dawy who was getting shot up by Outcasts Jesse and Butch, Coyote was helping Dawy also and thought I'd come to help the Outcasts lol. He started attacking me with Dawy shouting NO! in system at him.
And yes Verm Bro, the Dorks were a great clan! The trade run in Tohoku was made a lot more fun with those guys in the system. And the Vagu causing grief to us poor traders.
Nice to hear from Becker also! I remember when you flew as [HK]Armada, if I remember correctly, and the day I first met target drone on the shield run. I came out of the nomad base full of shields and you were attacking another trader. I decided to step in and we both ended up getting hammered  :D

[Verminard]

Thanks m8, maybe you dont remember but I can remember the day that ESPAÑA clan was founded, It was June, 5th , 2005.

No sinpers , only Brawlers with  Conquers and Annubis. Spartan was banned yet and the Clans System was always empty. Viva el Presedente, Stoertbecker, Ent, and many more killed me so many times.... NS were new clan too and we joined forces many times.  I have really good memories of those times
