Overview

Gradient (GRD) is one of the oldest independent capsuleer corporations still active, and the one that can boast most consistently having been loyal to the Minmatar Republic through all turbulent times and changing of hands of tribal leadership. Gradient has both industrial and combat operations, fighting to strengthen the Minmatar people and to defend the tribal lands against pirates and extortionists. Most of our Gradient pilots are either Matari or Gallente, but there are also a few Caldari pilots in the roster.

To achieve its goals, Gradient has been in and out of various alliances, but the basis and areas of its operations have always remained the same. Currently, Gradient is the executor corporation and the sole deciding power in the loyalist alliance Electus Matari.

History

"Freedom through strength, strength through industry."

Gradient was founded by Kilhu Emmek in 105.06.29 and thus is one of the oldest corporations that still exist in the EVE-universe. From the beginning Gradient was a loyal supporter of the Minmatar Republic and has remained so despite changes in both independent capsuleer and Republic politics - a claim no other corporation can make for Minmatar, and very few for any other nation. In the beginning Gradient concentrated its strength in industrial build up of the Republic, consistent with the then Republic policy of the same.

"Thunder only shouts, while slow rain drowns."

Gradient always spoke for the need of unity under the Republic's flag [1] and for putting pride behind actual results, for example supporting the famously unpopular decision to ban Khumaaks in exchange for freed slaves[2][3]. This made Gradient the target of derision and even violent attacks by other Minmatar capsuleers from the start[4] [5] [6].

Right after the Khumaak debate in 106, Gradient gained some further publicity, both good and bad, in a famous program to manipulate the slave market to both purchase slaves into freedom and to expose capsuleers involved in slave trading[7][8]. That project fast grew to the beginning of Gradient's refugee camp programs, which continue to this day[9].


(NOTE: work in progress)

107 the founder and then CEO of the corp Kilhu Emmek (KE) disappeared in the Great Wildlands and left the corp without a leader for some time. He was followed by Rocius, a member of the Brutor Tribe, and later by Elsebeth Rhiannon, again a Sebiestor.

Current policies

Current CEO of Gradient is Challis Drant, in close operation with XO Debes Sparre, both of the Brutor Tribe.

107.07.25 Gradient and a few other like minded republic supporting corporations founded Electus Matari to strengthen the industrial and paramilitary forces of the Republic. Gradient has been a member of that alliance and others, and served in the Minmatar Militia, depending on how the Gradient command estimates the corporation can best serve the Republic.
