Sylph Alliance

Welcome to the official website for The Sylph Alliance.  Sylph was founded by Marangrio Space Services Incorporated on January 7th 2006.  We are an anti-pirating alliance based out of the Providence region.  We currently consist of sixteen corporations with over 350 members.  We claim sovereignty over ten systems in Providence and Catch at present.  We also own the Prometheia Station in IS-R7P.  We play an active role in the Providence Community working alongside several other alliances and corporations.  We are fortunate to have a good cross section of skills within the alliance ranging from moon mining and manufacturing, to npc and pvp.  We are always looking to strengthen our numbers and we do not charge our member corporations extortionate fees as we consider this to penalise member corps and be detrimental to the alliance in the long term.  There is a joining fee, but this is in place to ensure that new corporations are serious in their application and not looking for a free ride.  There is also a membership fee, but we aim to keep this as low as possible so it simply covers the charge made by CCP.  All we ask is that member corps get involved with the alliance projects to generate money for Sylph so the alliance can fund it's own battle fleet, and realise it's long term goal of an Outpost.  Trust is an integral part of Sylph.  Without trust in your fellow members or corporations you cannot move forward.  It is therefore expected that all member corps will act honourably, and always in the best interests of Sylph Alliance.

If you are interested in joining the Sylph Alliance you will first need to contact 'Drakmor' in-game or visit the 'sylphdiplomacy' channel.  You will most likely be invited to join one of our chat rooms or one of our TS/Vent servers initially.  Then if deemed suitable you will be invited to submit a formal application.  There then will follow a one month probationary period at the end of which your corporation will be considered full members.  Sylph Alliance is not here to protect you or act as a shield for you.  We are only going to consider corporations that can stand on their own two feet and keep their noses clean.  By that we mean not getting war dec'd due to actions they have taken, not smack talking in local chat and being solvant/self funding.

If you have any questions, you may consider visiting the public area of our forum...

EVE takes place in a cluster of stars far from mankind’s original habitat, planet Earth. How far away, and whether or not that cradle of civilization still exists, is a mystery. Humans arrived through a natural wormhole and, gazing up upon an alien sky they had never seen, were completely unable to determine where this new world was located. From the New Eden solar system, where the gate of EVE once led to the old world, humans expanded in all directions at a furious pace, exploring and colonizing rapidly.

Then, unexpectedly and seemingly unprovoked, the EVE gate collapsed in an apocalyptic catastrophe of a scale never before witnessed by the human race, ruining the New Eden system in the process. Thousands of small colonies were left in complete isolation to fend for themselves, cut off from the old world. For millennia they endured, clinging to the brink of extinction, and only a handful managed to survive.

Of those that lasted, five were to rise up and become the major empires that, between them, hold the balance of power in the world of EVE. Today, they are known as the Amarr Empire, the Gallente Federation, the Caldari State, the Minmatar Republic, and the Jovian Empire. Additionally, the world is full of several small, independent factions and states.

For more than a century, the five empires have lived together in relative peace. They’ve continually strived to maintain this peace, as each faction realizes only too well the grave consequences of a massive inter-stellar war. Recent technological breakthroughs in FTL travel, and the ensuing increase in space travelers, have shaken, but not broken, the fragile peace... at least not yet.
