The duo established a successful banking group, offering attractive weekly interest rates of 5%.

The bank ran legitimately for eight months.

Suddenly, the bank closed; issuing a mocking statement:“[T]he ISK is gone; you will not see it ever again. You’ve invested it… but it turned out to be not the best choice you’ve ever made”.Some 4,000 players deposited 1,831.67 billion ISK into the scheme, the rest coming from interest. The pair hadn’t broken any rules; players were blamed for allowing themselves to be duped.

B-R5RB was a key staging area for the N3/PL during the Halloween War. CFC / Rus pounce, determined to gain control of the system.

Battle turned in CFC / Rus favour after the heroic sacrifice of Russian Commander Sort Dragon. N3/PL retreat blocked, systematically wiped out.

In commemoration of the battle CCP erects a permanent in-system monument "The Titanomachy" - named after the primordial battle between Gods and Titans in Ancient Greek legend.
