Hello again everyone! It's been a good week for us in MI5. S3D finally got bored of chasing sensor echoes around B56 and left, not without loss of time and fleets on their part either. And to top it off, several unguilded and inactive players have been popping up around 57 for us to munch on. So all in all, it has been a productive week for us.
Anyway, it is time once again to bring a new member highlight to you all. So tonight I bring to you YukiKashimaru. Many of you newer members may not know him very well, as he has been rather absent from the boards lately, but Yuki has been around a while, getting close to 3 years actually, and has some experience to offer you all.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... B38 to be specific, was where Yuki started. He joined ASG, which as I have written about before, was one of the predecessor guilds to CW, which has since branched into MI5. Back then were the days of constant war for dominance in Beta, and B38 was no exception. But even as the dust settled in the wake of those wars, time passing on and CW began its epic migration up to claim B56 for its own, Yuki stayed behind for a time. Actually, he was one of the last to migrate up here, doing so shortly after I began playing.
"I originally didnt want to move," he said, "but GOON and friends declared war, and my neighbor became hostile and after some calculations and arrangements for a 3 month upgrade I decided to move. I was saving credits when GOON attacked and pillages over 1.4mil. I disbanded everything after that and headed up..."
His was the only migration of CW members that I witnessed firsthand. I recall seeing, what to me at the time, was a massive armada of more fleet than I'd ever seen yet, heading up toAledujke's JG at Holy Terra. I was so amazed at the sheer amount of fleet coming up that I had to take a screenshot...
Yuki's Migration
Anyway, it was shortly after his arrival in B57 that the OW confederation invaded our fledgling stronghold in 56. Yuki threw his fleet into the thick of the battle and stood at the forefront of our defenders in 56. It was the sacrifice of him and several others that helped secure our foothold in 56 and pave the way for the home we have now. So raise your glasses in salute to those that have gone before you, and have paved the way. We are MI5. We shall never forget.
For more information on the OW invasion of B56, you can see my other journal which I wrote in detail on the subject. The Invasion of B56
