THE RISE OF BLACK RABBITS JQ began as a Null Sec outlaw in YC108. Alongside Circle of Two, the objective was simple - kill Fraternity and survive. In YC125, he was pulled from Null and entered Black Rabbits. Training began in Deven, under some of the most capable militia pilots in the warzone. Progression was earned. From line pilot to leadership, he rose through the ranks and eventually took command as Captain of the Black Pearl. CRISIS Black Rabbits entered a period of decline. Membership was falling. Pilots were leaving. Command structure weakened. Roman X - The Rabbit - was no longer present. Fatal lost control. He was removed from the organisation. The organisation was close to collapse. THE RESPONSE A decision was made. JQ and Ronat initiated a full-scale recruitment and pressure campaign. Target selected: Dawn's Light. They had established dominance within the Guristas militia through AWOXing and control tactics. Their objective was total control of lowsec Guristas space. They became the priority target. THE WAR Black Rabbits entered the conflict outnumbered. No advantage in numbers. No advantage in position. Only pressure. Engagement after engagement, control was contested. Territory was denied. Momentum shifted. Recruitment increased. Confidence returned. Numbers grew. VICTORY By YC127, Dawn's Light conceded. Losses exceeded 1 trillion ISK in ships and assets over the course of the campaign. Structures were removed. Forces withdrew to Pochven. The war ended. LEGACY Black Rabbits did not survive. It re-established control. Outnumbered, but never outgunned. ☠️

I started my Eve career bouncing around corp to corp trying to find where I belong, finally ended up in Gallente Militia. Spent a couple years there learning FW pvp. The corp I was apart of, then joined Dead Terrorist and this is where I took an interest in FCing larger fleet fights. Learned Fleet positioning and eventually becoming a Logi FC and anchor. Spent a few years playing off and on before settling back into FW with Sedit. Sedit left for greener pastures and the alliance named Ribbit took over the job as big dog. When I joined Ribbit, the alliance was no more than 20 close knit friends. I then spent the next 2 years building the alliance, maxing out around 350 people and nearly 130 active pilots at any given time. Having FCed fleets of 50-60 battleships and a small cap wing, Ribbit's dominance was unquestioned. Through RL commitments, and in-game burnout I stepped away from Ribbit, content with what I accomplished in a relatively short time frame. However, as many know, leadership stepping away is never clean. Elements within the alliance started rumors that I stole everything from the alliance and its members, that I was a snuff spy etc. Having lived my Eve career using the motto "talk shit get hit", I returned sooner from my break than planned and formed ScumRats, a Guristas FW corp, as a way to directly fight and interfere with the pilots I once called friends. Unknown to many at the time, internal strife and disagreements between the remainder of Ribbit leadership eventually lead to its dissolution, with the alliance exec calling it quits, and the belligerent parties moving to the other warzone. ScumRats refocused. From a corp hell bent on revenge, to a corp looking at internal growth and external ambitions. ScumRats is leveraging old contacts from when Ribbit was at its prime to fill the gaps so to speak, and myself? I'm back to FCing and organizing a force that is efficient and logistically superior to its enemies. So one day, our dominance will be without question.
