Ask BoB about being "the" power in New Eden. I'm sure that someone with a better grasp of EVE history can school me on this statement with a little effort and desire to troll, but the point itself remains regardless. Better EVE historians can elaborate better than I, but BoB (Band of Brothers) used to be the most powerful alliance in the game, with their leader, Sir Molle, boldly stating that he wanted to control all of New Eden one way or another. The arrival, and rise of Goonswarm became a major thorn in their side, and the wars that followed eventually lead to BoBs utter destruction when one of their disgruntled directors defected to the Swarm and put a knife in BoBs back that cost them their Alliance status (he disbanded them) but also the name Band of Brothers (still owned by a Goon corp now, I think.) BoB has tried to reform several times since then, with varying degrees of success and catastrophic failure, but they will never be what they once were. All this is an object lesson in the price of hubris - and also why corp and alliance leaders should be very thorough in vetting their leadership and setting up safeguards so that one pissed off officer in the corp can't put a bullet in the head of the entire corporation. Now granted, Goonswarm has had their share of setbacks and traitors, as well (always, ALWAYS make sure any bills your Alliance or Corporation has due are paid in full and on time, just in case something embarassing happens) But, in their case, Goonswarm always seems to come back as strong, or stronger, than before - since they have a more cavalier attitude about things like this (ie: some rage, but most seem to be able to laugh about themselves when something happens to temporarily kill the corp)
