History

From July through August of 2003, the Galactic Imperial Army and the eXistence encountered the greatest clash they'd had since the eXistence Imperial Army was formed. It began with Manix suddenly joining the GIA with Amoke joining his side shortly after. All of this was due to an organized mission by the two of them and Nightstryke. Amoke and Manix were both given high ranks by Lord Darchind. Manix began a series of devastating attacks on eXistence members, especially the new eXistence recruits. Other members of the GIA, including Seknem, quickly joined in. It was later discovered that Nightstryke had collaborated with Manix to send him 'undercover' by pretending he was defecting to the GIA only to spy on them and hack their website. Facts are still uncertain on whether he actually did hack the GIA and whether he was only pretending to defect or if he really intended to. Amoke was thought to have no plans for spying on GIA, claiming he merely wished to join an active clan and was disappointed in eX's lack of progress, though his resignation and subsequent admission into GIA couldn't have come at a worse time. Nightstryke was pardoned for his part in the deal after he confessed to it. During this time, bwp_2001 was also promoted to the Illuminati and Shock became the new Chapter Commander of Jedi Knight. Since Amoke was not the Vice-President anymore, Nightstryke, the 3rd in command as Chief Engineer of eXistence, assumed temporary command until a proper election for Vice President could be held later. Korzac then went on a leave of absence due to further legal issues. Then in early September, a hacker known as Ganondorf, who was affiliated with the GIA, launched a war on the eXistence and, after hacking into bwp_2001's e-mail account and at least 2 other eXistence members' e-mail accounts, learned the password for the message board and shut it down. The rest of September was spent trying to restore the message board, until Korzac reappeared with a backup, only to have Korzac take another leave of absence to resolve the legal issues.
