{{main|History of The Graduates (Player corporation)}}
During the downfall of The Big Blue alliance, of which [[Eve_University|Eve University]] (E-UNI) was a member, they were approached by several [[0.0_alliances|0.0 alliances]] with offers providing varying levels of access to their space. One of the most enticing offers came from the Interstellar [[Starbase|Starbase]] Syndicate. They had acquired a new [[Gallente|Gallente]] [[Outpost|outpost]] in the [[EC-P8R|EC-P8R]] system, and needed someone to operate and manage it. Wanting to maintain their complete and total neutrality, E-UNI refused, at which time Manas and 25 other E-UNI members split off, accepting the [[ISS|ISS]] deal and moving out to [[EC-P8R|EC-P8R]] under the new name "The Graduates". Since that time, TGRAD has gone on to be in such alliances as Ivy League, The Brutally Clever Empire, and [[Morsus_Mihi|Morsus Mihi]].
