12th Anniversary: DEN Appreciation Day

[Ivo]

Exactly 12 years ago, General Colin Powell founded DEN, arguably the most significant invader organization to date. With the invasion of 2 Miles Past Nowhere, DEN began an illustrious history of invading high-profile regions and fighting defender hegemonic organizations such as TITO.

Exactly ten months ago, the remaining members of The Black Riders, with the blessing of former DEN leadership, began rebuilding this long-forgotten organization again, carefully molding a new identity while remaining aware of the past histories of both DEN and TBR.

As he passed his command to a new Field Marshal, General Powell was optimistic about the future, stating: "So far, DEN has lived up to everything I envisioned since February 27, 2004. I honestly believe you guys will take DEN to even higher heights, and bring the prophecy in the WFE to life: History will record the DEN as the most notorious, well-organized and well-disciplined raider army ever to grace the battlefield."

With two active occupations in Anarchy and St Abbaddon, a regional population of well over 1000 nations, a substantial active updating force, rising leaders molded by raiding tradition and outstanding training, and countless victories against defenders, we believe that we have achieved this and more. Here's to many more years of glory.

History will record the DEN as the most notorious, well-organized, and well-disciplined raider army ever to grace the battlefield.

-- General Knot
