Unit:Karaian Empire

Who We Are

In 1995, the Karaian Empire emerged as a rogue clan on the Mechwarrior2™ Netmech™ servers. Due to technology at the time the clan/pirate group played mainly off public servers until Mechwarrior2: Mercenaries™ came out. At that time the Karaian Empire (KE) became public. Numbers were purposely kept low as only the best were accepted and there were only two online trainers qualified to train. This built a sense of commraderie and honor that flowed through the Karaian ranks. A culture was built and sustained well beyond it's humble beginnings. Two major factions emerged from the early days of the empire including Josev's personal guards known as the Imperial Guards and Marcelian's Mercenaries. A group of Mercenary pilots that traveled on the outskirts of the Inner Sphere during the Succession Wars fighting for whoever offered the greatest prize.

With the inception of Mechwarrior 3, KE continued to build the ranks and accept only the best. A 3rd faction was created known as the Karaian Offensive. This was the Empire's main strike force. A decision was then made to join the StarLance League, where KE dominated and won the last cycle before Mechwarrior 4 was released.

Mechwarrior 4 was a time of transition for the Empire. Many old faces left to pursue their real life goals and only a small core of elite pilots remained. These pilots and a few key additions to the Empire's ranks, kept the dream alive and continued to make KE, one of the most feared and respected units on the battlefield until the unit disbanded in 2005.

The future is upon us and so is the rebirth of the Karaian Empire! Over the years, tight knit relationships were created from fighting under the banner of the Empire and many of the old pilots stayed in touch. It is because of this, we seek to establish once again, a dynasty of dominance. The old crew is ready to saddle back up. We are the elite of the elite. We accept nothing less than the best. The glory of the Empire will be paved with the ashes of our enemies!

LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE
