League of Nations: Difference between revisions

Most of the self-declared "[[empires]]" on the server as well as crews with a nation theme found a place in LoN. Its aim was establish order amongst the great civilisations of Piratecraft and coordinate against pirate threats. Through cooperation, great threats such as [[0utlaws]], the [[Hawatis]] or the first incarnation of [[Crusaders of the Void]] (CoV) were fended off or even toppled from their hegemonic positions.

For over a year LoN remained the biggest and most powerful alliance on the server, rivalled only by the [[Federation Nations Alliance]]. The [[Verussian Empire]] was ousted at the end of spring 2015 after a plot was uncovered aiming to undermine their allies. LoN provided coordinated and active resistance against the [[0utlaws]] until [[HardTimez]] was banned. In autumn 2015 [[CoV]] became the most active PvP crew on the server, yet to begin with LoN did not have to deal with many acts of aggression. Smaller wars, such as the war on the [[Verussian continent]] or skirmishes against various smaller crews took priority. In spring 2016, CoV began to swell further in size. PvPers of at least decent capability flocked to their ranks in order to make the most of the limited competition on the server. Raids were conducted against various LoN members. For a long time no action was taken against this aggression - the capabilities of CoV seemed overwhelming. In May 2016, the [[Elven]] leader, [[Reptaria]], declared that he would be actively hunting CoV members in retaliation. Combined action was taken by [[Elven Empire]], the [[British Empire]] and a new PvP crew called [[Solis]] with the rest of LoN soon to follow. The sheer number of players suddenly taking up arms against CoV proved no easy challenge, igniting discord with their ranks. A rift developed between old and new crew members. Within a week, the seemingly impenetrable crew had broken up.

Following the fall of CoV, LoN no longer faced any serious competition on the server. Players from all crews waited tentatively to see which LoN crew would break rank to take CoV's crown as the leading PvP crew on PirateCraft. This scenario didn't set in. Solis disbanded while LoN remained steadfast. New crews such as [[The Asylum]] or [[Templar]] rose from the ashes of CoV and Solis.

Many citizens of BE were shocked that their allies were refusing to aid them after BE had provided aid in all past conflicts concerning their fellow LoN members. This lead to a general referendum in which it was proposed BE should leave LoN and pursue closer relations with more dependable crews. The referendum, known as [[BExit]] passed with over three quarters of voters in favour. The resignation of the biggest crew in LoN lead to EE and 13C immediately following suit, leaving only the [[Xanthian Empire]], [[Luteus Republic]] and [[Iborian Empire]]. These three mini crews decided to merge into one and become [[the Xanthian Order]]. Though EE ultimately changed its mind and decided to stay in LoN with TXO, the former great alliance slipped into inactivity.
