Tribal Band was formed in early 2012 by the merger of The Aurora Shadow and The 99 Percent alliances following the success of the Delve War of 2012. TASHA and 99 were instrumental in helping to fan the initial spark of the Delve conflict into full scale war via early unexpected sov grabs against older, established alliances. TASHA and 99 merged following the fall of Delve to the HBC and allies, to form a stronger nullsec political entity aimed at bringing fresh blood into the nullsec arena.
