“When the storm has passed, put your energy into rebuilding, don’t waste time looking back.”
Leon Brown – New York Mets (1979)
Part 1
We laid our roots, in Kaunokka we found,
a place to call home, with new friends inbound.
Our foundation was built, by those few founders,
a brand new sanctuary, for any new members.
Our beginnings were slow and always humble,
we sided with Discord, much better than Mumble.
Kaunokka was as safe, as it could be in EVE,
miners sought shelter, and a brief reprieve.
Missions were easy, with a hub next door,
flying together, they were never a chore.
But then came the Trigs, their guns already drawn,
looking to take Kaunokka, to begin a new dawn.
We put up a fight, the very best that we could,
joined new allies, side-by-side we stood.
This new enemy was strong, and its supporters rallied,
many ships were lost, many corpses were carried.
Until the moment came, from where there was no return,
Kaunokka was lost, it had begun to burn.
As the dust settled, the red haze appeared,
urgent notice to evacuate, we quickly adhered.
The losses were great, New Eden was changed,
Kaunokka gone, the feeling was strange.
But our time would come, we would again undock,
stronger and more determined, because we are TPoK!
“War does not determine who is right – only who is left”
Bertrand Russell – Philosopher & Mathematician
Part 2
Our time had come, we knew it would,
we put so much in, tears, sweat and blood.
We had found our new home, temporary at first,
but soon came the desire, the lust and the thirst.
To build a new hub, where new players were welcome,
we give them a ship, and a community to greet them.
It started out, with only a few,
but with hard work, it grew and grew.
We had moved on, from our time in Kaunokka,
to rebuild this corp, right here in Umokka.
Umokka had, everything that we needed,
missions and mining, even skill books were seeded.
More and more friends, joined by the day,
our corp had become, a great place to stay.
Our members are, the living soul of our corp,
whether their time with us, is long or short.
But it is important for us, that they all know,
the history of TPoK, that no book will show.
How the Triglavians came to High Sec, raging war on us all,
our decision to fight, and answer the call.
The struggles we overcame, the challenges we faced,
the battles we lost, that left a bitter taste.
When all was done, Kaunokka was lost,
to Pochven it went, while we counted the cost!
But this is all, now in our past,
we live and learn, and we do both fast.
Our focus now, is building upon,
the foundations we laid, in the years no gone.
Trash Pandas of Kaunokka, remember the name,
the greatest corp in New Eden, our boldest claim.
There are still goals, that we aim to achieve,
but we know we can get there, because this is EVE!
