Wow this really takes me back. Another beta vet here, I was the CEO of the corp that was suppling m0o with ships and weaponry back in the early game. We were a small corp with a large footprint in the game at the time so we were able to keep our arrangements m0o under wraps most of the time.

One of the reasons they were down there in FA was to secure some nullsec mining areas so we could produce battleships for them. This was before any battleships existed in the game. Our primary manufacturing system at that time was in a Gallente system Gisleres. When we built the first battleship for m0o it caused a bit of an uproar in our neck of the woods since j0rt was hanging out for a couple days, we had to move the transaction away from the station to avoid the ties from becoming known. We do know however that we handed over the first battleship in the game to them.

M0o was only a handful of pilots, but they had a huge impact on the game, holding entire regions hostage and they caused the only ever rollback in the game's history, as well as direct GM intervention with in game ships. I am quite proud to be apart of some of those historical events in EVE's distant past even if it was from the shadows.
