Early Beginnings/Pre Mine ‘n’ Refine
Originally the corp was established by Kronos in 2003 under the name “Mine ‘n’ Refine Inc.” They started off as a small close-knit group of miners with the plan to mine and manufacture ships and weaponry for anti-piracy. After a year or so mid 2004 the corp, as it was then, disbanded and merged in with the group “Band of Brothers Mining Corporation” who would later go on to form the infamous BOB alliance. A year or so past, and as BOB mining began to delve slowly further into low-security space and beyond, Kronos and a few others decided they didn’t wish to follow the course to 0.0. Thus the corporation Mine ‘n’ Refine, as it is still known today, was born in mid 2005.
Paranoia, vengeance and departure
The pilot they formed a bond with was called HybridOnSlaught, Spud to his friends, he ran the corporation “Durt industries inc.” Many wars past within New Eden Research, each one causing more and more frustrations until one day Spud, and a former pilot of Mine ‘n’ Refine, Proteus “Max” Maximus decided enough was enough and that if you can’t beat the war deccers they may as well have fun blasting the helpless miners/industrialists they had spent months trying to defend. They formed the corporation “New Eden Outcasts” with the sole purpose to destroy and disrupt New Eden Research (but would later go on to find much enjoyment in declaring wars across high sec.) During this war it was evident to most within New Eden Research that everyone in Mine ‘n’ Refine were carrying on mining operations normally, thus many accusations occurred. The NER alliance leader, Tamia Clant the “paranoid”, began accusing members of Mine ‘n’ Refine of giving intelligence and assisting Spud and Max during the war. Which, unbeknown to them, was untrue with the exception of course that Spud and Max weren’t had agreed not to attack their friends in Mine ‘n’ Refine. Because of this Mine ‘n’ Refine were cast out of New Eden Research, marked as traitors and outlaws. As for the fate of New Eden Research, few months past and they were targetted by Goonswarm Federation who aimed to kill all their POS’s (which locations were all publically available on the forums.) and knowing they wouldn’t be able to defend against such force many corporations left New Eden Research causing the alliance to disband for a first but not last time.
