OUR MISSION

To create, market and maintain a truly impartial Corporation which provides services to the entire EVE community, regardless of race, sex, Corporate / Empirical affiliations or even security levels. Allowing those who enjoy a more sophisticated role playing approach to their online games to come together.

OUR BACKGROUND

Hadean Drive Yards was brought into being by former members of another EVE Corporation called "Endless Corporation". Having decided that they had an alternative style of play they wished to apply to the game, they ventured forth and formed the Hadean Drive Yards.

The founding members who gave birth to HDY have fifteen years of military experience between them as well as mutual employment within the law enforcement industry. This militaristic mentality has been tamed and brought to bear resulting in the Hadean Drive Yards and its current organizational structure. Basically a Capitalist organization with a military mindset.

We have all played other MMPORG games with similar principles to EVE and a few of us have also contributed to those games in the form of Councilors, Guides, Alpha/Beta testers and numerous other developmental and administrative tasks. All of this has been volunteer work and all in the name of role play, fun, fantasy and fiction. Some of us have even run popular Guilds, Clans and Corporations within these other games.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Hadean Drive Yards was founded on two simple principles which are well at work in the real world today. Capitalism and Discipline. The first is the core instinct which drives individuals to succeed in any business venture, the latter is the fundamental basis for any and every military organization found in the world today. By putting these two important ideals together we believe we have created an excellent opportunity for the community of EVE to enjoy an environment where they may role play characters mirroring real world attitudes and protocols in addition to providing fun and entertainment for both the employees of Hadean Drive Yards as well as our cliental.

The name "Hadean" actually comes from a specialized unit within a guild called the Warriors of Hades. This guild was actually a group of online friends who played the game of NeverWinterNights on AOL many years ago. It has since branched off and followed the original Unit Commander throughout the last seven years and over the course of many different gaming applications. Hadean has seen action in NeverWinterNights, Ultima Online, Asheron's Call, Meridian59, Illusia, Quake2 and Quake3 as well as Diablo.

As with any Corporation, be it real or imagined, we are in the business of making money. However, we have not lost sight of the really important issues. Those being of fun, fantasy, achievement and entertainment! This is, after all, why we are all here is it not? Without fun and enjoyment there is no real point in slaving the hours away at a game.

We value our employees and clients equally as without either the game would really hold no meaning or entertainment. Our employees are not just a number, they are as important as the minerals they mine, or the blueprints they research or the battles they win and we encourage this with employee incentive programs such as weekly production rewards and/or profit sharing. We are all about motivation, expression and creative thinking yet remain steadfast to the structure, organization and discipline of the modern day military.

All Hadean Drive Yard employees receive shares within the company as soon as it reaches the IPO stage.

THE FOUNDING MEMBERS

The inception and direction of the Hadean Drive Yard is the brainchild and baby of its founding members, Michael "OverKill" Carter and Murray "RocknAngel" Ayers. Although RocknAngel has since left the Corporation to retire on the outer periphery somewhere, OverKill still remains with the Corporation to this day, continuing on the tradition set forth by the both of them.

OverKill is know throughout the EVE universe as having a sharp wit and a quick intelligence but an explosively hot temper and is easily angered. Yet on the flipside of this coin he has shown that he can be cold, calculating and often times ruthless in his pursuit of an agenda, be it personal or Corporate. He lives by the creed, "Analyze, Adapt, Overcome"

RocknAngel, on the other hand, was the total opposite of OverKill. He was known for having a cool and methodical approach to things and often times he was the only one who could keep OverKill in check. RocknAngel contributed many an insightful tidbit of knowledge and helped in a major way during the brainstorming sessions that have become Hadean Drive Yards. He will be missed and we wish him the best of luck.

Combined they made a formidable team and together they have formed what they hope will be a "household corporate identity" within the EVE universe.

However, lest we forget, there have been numerous other contributions and ideas from unlikely sources and even the two men mentioned above could not have accomplished building this Corporation without the aid of its employees and other "real life" sources of wisdom.
