====The story so far====
[[corps:dreddit|Dreddit]] and Test Alliance have a interesting past with Goonswarm Federation and their related entities. During the early days of [[corps:dreddit|Dreddit]] the corporation held a mining fleet in the lowsec system of Alparena, the fleet of mining ships were protected by a few ragtag cruisers and frigates which had managed to come along for the ride. The goons happened to come across the small mining fleet and recognized Dreddit as a new corporation that had just formed up, and planned to give the fleet a "welcome to EVE party".

Within a hour the mining fleet was [[http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=5822635|hot-dropped by a mid size mixed fleet of cruisers and rifters]], totally annihilating the unaware miners. Rumors have it that in the Dreddit fleet chat someone asked what a "Cynosural Field" is seconds before the Goon fleet jumped in.

After this glorious slaughter, the Goons felt sorry for the newly formed Reddit corp, seeing something of themselves in the newly forming corporation. Darius Johnson offered help to [[culture:players:fletcher_hammond|Fletcher Hammond]], who was the current leader of Dreddit at the time, and our friendship was formed.

During the following months Dreddit traveled with Goons to [[eve:region:cloud_ring]] to fight against [[culture:ev0ke|Ev0ke]], then into [[http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Deklein/DKUK-G#sec|DKUK]] when [[culture:tau_ceti_federation]] offered Goons the space to use. During the campaign against the [[Southern Coalition]] in [[eve:region:curse|Curse]], [[culture:test_alliance_please_ignore|Test Alliance Please Ignore]] was formed and standings were set.

FUCK GOONS
