As of January 20th, Signal Cartel is a decade old! Co-founded by Johnny Splunk, G8keeper, and Mynxee on January 20th, 2015, with the EvE-Scout Enclave alliance being created on the 23rd and the corp opening recruitment on the 31st, the corp and alliance have been going strong over the last ten years.
Founded in the wake of Thera’s addition to the game in the 2014 Rhea expansion, EvE-Scout started as a neutral service to map the system’s numerous wormhole connections. Since then, the group has branched out to wormhole rescues, wormhole rescue caches, storm tracking, tourism, and more. You can read all about SC’s history in this blog post on signalcartel.org by Katie Sae.
Hugs and Fireworks
On the 25th, we celebrated the group’s birthday with a big “hugs fleet,” where we roamed around space including Thera armed with nonlethal explosive ordnance. Ships were hugged, stations were bombarded, and local was spammed, before the fleet gloriously perished in Ahbazon (after a few attempts).
Among the fleet’s entourage were Katia Sae, Mynxee, and CCP Aperture aka Razorien piloting a Polaris Enigma Frigate. Unfortunately, the Polaris ship’s fancy electronics prevented it from being hugged. 😛
Happy birthday Signal Cartel, and here’s to many more! o7
