Atlas is a 0.0 space alliance currently operating out of the southern regions of EVE. In its year and a half of existence Atlas has faced numerous foes, forged friendships and has generally established itself as a major political power. As of the time of this writing, Atlas is the seventh largest alliance in the game.

== The Formation of Atlas ==

The origins of Atlas can be traced to the collapse of the Freelancer’s Alliance (FLA) mid 2007. Four corporations: [[3B_Legio_IX_(Player corporation)|3B Legio IX]], Big Guns INC, Di-Tron Heavy Industries and Origin Systems surveyed the wreckage of the failed northern alliance and mutually decided “we can do better than this.” These were four mature corps who had been through several alliances each and had thus far found no organization which they could call home. Several weeks after leaving FLA, the joint effort to create a brand new alliance was announced. Under the original formation, [OS] SolarKnight was the alliance leader, [DTHI] Bobby Atlas the head [[Fleet_Commander|Fleet Commander]], and [DTHI] Banlish the head Diplomat. Advising the Alliance Leader was a council of corporation CEOs and Directors.

== Geminate and the Drone Regions ==

The SMASH alliance had offered to accept the DTHI Corporation as a member, so as his first act as Head Diplomat, DTHI Banlish negotiated to gain access to 0.0 space through SMASH. In an agreement with SMASH, Atlas gained access to a portion of Geminate and the Drone Space region which would eventually be known as The Kalevala Expanse. Almost instantly upon arrival, Atlas became embroiled in a conflict. The alliance [[Chaos Incarnate (Player alliance)]] had recently launched an [[Outpost|outpost]] in M3-H2Y under an agreement with the [[PURE (Player alliance)]] alliance. PURE claimed that Chaos Incarnate had overstepped their agreement and began an aggressive campaign to take the [[Outpost|outpost]]. All of this was occurring just a few solar systems away from Atlas’ new home in 0.0 space. Atlas decided to take sides in the conflict and jumped to support Chaos Incarnate. Even with its small [[Fleet|fleet]], Atlas held its own versus the larger and older alliance; after several bloody fights PURE was at a standstill. An agreement was negotiated between PURE and Chaos Incarnate. PURE claimed the [[Outpost|outpost]] but allowed Chaos Incarnate to remain with full docking rights and standings. Atlas gained positive standing to PURE as a result of the agreement as well. Having gained a small measure of respect and confidence, Atlas continued to consolidate its hold on its new territory.

At this time, SMASH and its [[Coalition|coalition]] partner [[R0adkill (Player alliance)|R0adkill]] became involved in a number of fights in the Geminate and Vale of the Silent regions. Atlas fleets, eager to prove their worth, joined the [[Coalition|coalition]] forces during several campaigns in which the alliances Ka-tet, [[Imperial Order (Player alliance)|Imperial Order]], [[O X I D E (Player alliance)|O X I D E]], [[FREGE (Player alliance)|FREGE]], [[Invictus (Player alliance)|Invictus]] and [[Dark Matter Coalition (Player alliance)|Dark Matter Coalition]] were defeated. The combined forces of SMASH, Atlas, Chaos Incarnate and [[R0adkill|R0adkill]] became known as the [[SmashKill_(Player_coalition)|SMACK Coalition]]. Trouble was looming on the horizon, however. Atlas and Chaos Incarnate became involved in a struggle to control the Drone Regions.

== SMACK and the Drone War ==

When Atlas had first arrived in The Kalevala Expanse, Drone Space was fractured amongst many small alliances and renter alliances of major powers. A gradual consolidation led to a polarization of the area politics. On one side was Atlas, Chaos Incarnate and the alliances friendly to [[SmashKill_(Player_coalition)|SMACK]]. On the other side were [[Intrepid Crossing (Player alliance)|Intrepid Crossing]] and the alliances friendly to the [[Red_Swarm_Federation|Red Swarm Federation]]. Initial battles were between Atlas, Chaos Incarnate and Intrepid Crossing. After some escalation, [[Solar Dragons (Player alliance)|Solar Dragons]] and [[Red_Alliance_(Player alliance)|Red Alliance]] joined in on the side of Intrepid Crossing while SMASH and [[R0adkill|R0adkill]] joined in with Atlas and Chaos Incarnate. The power balance shifted back and forth with various alliances becoming involved in the fight. The [[FANG Alliance (Player alliance)|FANG Alliance]], PURE, [[Ethereal Dawn (Player alliance)|Ethereal Dawn]] and (briefly) [[Triumvirate. (Player alliance)|Triumvirate]] joined the struggle. When it looked like the advantage had shifted to favor [[SmashKill_(Player_coalition)|SMACK]], [[Goonswarm_(Player_alliance)|Goonswarm]] joined the fray. After an unsuccessful invasion of Delve, [[Goonswarm_(Player_alliance)|GoonSwarm]] shifted their [[Fleet|fleet]] to support the [[Red_Swarm_Federation|Red Swarm Federation]] in Drone Space and Geminate.

This was the tipping point. Although SMASH and its allies managed to destroy a [[Goonswarm_(Player_alliance)|GoonSwarm]] [[Titan|Titan]] in battle [[SmashKill_(Player_coalition)|SMACK]] and its allies were being overwhelmed. Atlas leadership ordered the alliance to begin a retreat to [[Empire_Space|Empire space]]. Soon afterward, SMASH, Chaos Incarnate and [[R0adkill|R0adkill]] were defeated and scattered. Several former SMASH, [[R0adkill|R0adkill]] and Chaos Incarnate corporations joined Atlas at this point, bolstering its <nowiki>ranks</nowiki>.

== South, North, then South again ==

Atlas spent a short time in Empire lowsec space before taking an offer from [[Stain Empire (Player alliance)|Stain Empire]] to reside in the [[Stain (Region)|Stain Region]]. Atlas supported Stain Empire, Coven and Systematic Chaos in several fights against [[GoonSwarm|Goonswarm]] in [[Stain (Region)|Stain]] and [[Curse_(Region)|Curse]] as part of the "[[Stainwagon|Stainwagon]]". Eventually, Atlas traveled up north to support [[Triumvirate. (Player alliance)|Triumvirate]] in their attack on [[KIA Alliance_(Player alliance)|KIA]], and became involved in the tail end of the [[GBC|GBC]] [[MAX_Campaign|MAX Campaign]]. After the eventual collapse of [[GBC|GBC]]’s northern front, Atlas returned south to the [[Curse_(Region)|Curse Region]] where they supported the [[GBC|GBC]] assault on [[DG-8VJ_(System)|DG-8VJ]]. The system was targeted due to the [[GoonSwarm|Goonswarm]]'s level 4 [[Sovereignty_(Mechanics)#Constellation_sovereignty|Constellation Sovereignty]] in the [[:Category:RFQ-8Y_(Constellation)|RFQ-8Y Constellation]]. After several weeks of indeterminate progress in capturing the system, the notorious deletion of [[Band of Brothers (Player alliance)|Band of Brothers]] occurred. With the loss of [[Sovereignty|sovereignty]] all across Delve, the [[GoonSwarm|Goonswarm]] fleets moved to take the initiative and shifted the battle lines to the historically impenetrable "Fortress Delve".

== Southern Operations and Conquests ==

With the majority of the fighting focused on Delve, Atlas, AAA, [[Stainwagon|Stainwagon]] and RED.OverLord began work to capture the regions occupied by the allies of the [[GoonSwarm|Goonswarm]]. First, Atlas assaulted [[United_Legion_(Player alliance)|United Legion]]'s territory in the Omist Region. There they established territory to fund future campaigns. Shortly after they gained control of Omist, [[xxLegion_of_Deathxx_(Player alliance)|xxLegion of Deathxx]] with RedSwarm support attempted an invasion in order to relieve pressure from the assualt by the recently evicted Delve forces and their allies on Querious. This invasion was repelled and gave Atlas, after a short respite in Omist to go on the offensive. First was the asistance of [[Aggression._(Player alliance)|Agression.]] in conquering the last of [[United_Legion_(Player alliance)|United Legion]]'s space in Immensea with very little resistance. Following quickly came the all out invasion of Detorid and the last eastern stronghold of [[GoonSwarm|Goonswarm]] (Actually controlled by an alt corp of xxLegion of Deathxx).

Atlas lead a coalition of alliances: [[Aggression._(Player alliance)|Agression.]], [[Sc0rched Earth (Player alliance)|Scorched Earth]], and several smaller groups. The coalition's focus was the eradication of [[Red_Alliance_(Player alliance)|Red Alliance]] and a small foothold of [[Tau Ceti Federation (Player alliance)|Tau Ceti Federation]] from the southern regions in the closing actions of Delve War II. After continued pressure, and failed assistance from the [[Northern Coalition (Player coalition)|Northern Coalition]], [[Red_Alliance_(Player alliance)|Red Alliance]] Sovereignty dropped sharply and Atlas assault calmed down after taking full control of Insmother.

Currently Atlas, in coalition with [[Solar Fleet (Player alliance)|Solar Fleet]], [[Cult of War (Player alliance)|Cult of War]], and [[Gentlemen's Club (Player alliance)|Gentlemen's Club]] is in an invasion of [[Wildly Inappropriate. (Player alliance)|Wildly Inappropriate]] held Geminate.
