		+	==The Novitiate==
	On the 9th of November a few years ago, the then current GM of BRO, Akkarin, commissioned Devonian to create the training guild for [[BRO]], due to their slow expansion. There were many players that needed time to grow, without fear of being attacked during a war. So to keep this from happening and to please the more War hungry players of [[BRO]] NOV was formed. This stood for the Novitiate in order to keep in line with the overall theme of the Brotherhood.

		+	== Formation of BG ==
		+	Dark Guardians had suffered great instability since its origins as AO. Other guilds had merged into [[AO]] in order to form [[~DG~]], and then left again being unsatisfied when their leader was voted out of power.

After many votes and debates, The Brotherhood of Guardians became the new name, ~BG~. This name spawned from a unification of the roots of NOV (Brotherhood) and the Dark Guardians.

	There are only a handful of ways to lose credits in AE and most of them have already been covered in the first section. When you are occupied you lose money from your account and 30% of your income at that base. This also does not recover immediately. This 30% recovers at 2 credits a day until the base has fully recovered. This means that If you have a high econ base it will take a while to recover after an occupation. For example, a 200 econ base loses 60 credits, that's 30 days to recover.		There are only a handful of ways to lose credits in AE and most of them have already been covered in the first section.

Piracy

-	~~{{Need~~(~~Game~~)}}	+	Piracy, also known as plundering, is the action of forcefully profiting from another player's [[trade route]](s).

-	Piracy, also known as plundering, is a common term for destroying [[trade route]]s. Piracy can only occur when a player has a fleet over a base that has no defense fleet. The base need not be occupied, it just needs to have no defense fleet. When a trade route is pirated, the distance of the trade route is converted to credits and given to the 'pirate'. Once a trade route has been plundered a new one cannot be set for 24 hours.	+	== Conditions ==

-	~~This is commonly done~~ for ~~profit, but can~~ be ~~done out of spite~~ to ~~lower~~ a ~~players economy for a short while~~.	+	Several conditions must be met for a player to be able to pirate a trade route.
		+	* The pirating player must have [[fleet]] over one of the bases involved in the trade route.
		+	* No fleet belonging to the player being pirated or that player's [[guild]] may be over the target base.
		+	* Neither player involved in the trade route may belong to the pirating player's guild.

		+	Once these conditions are met, the player can select the "Piracy" option from the Fleet screen of any fleet over the base to be pirated. When he or she does this, they will gain a number of [[credits]] equal to this distance of the trade route. In addition, the trade route will be destroyed, and a new one cannot be remade in its place for 24 hours.
		+
		+	An interesting note is that player level [[protection]] does not prohibit piracy of that player's trade routes, so as long as the protected player does not have any fleet over their base, any player can stop by and pirate their routes. Therefore, it is advisable that players ensure they have at least a single [[fighter]] over their bases before creating trade routes.
		+
		+	== Uses ==
		+
		+	Obviously, the main reason for piracy is the credits. When a player is occupying a base, it is a simple matter to pirate that base's trade routes for a few extra credits. Players will even "drop guild" or temporarily quit their guild to pirate trade routes leading to other guild member's bases, and in fact this is standard policy in many guilds.
		+
		+	Piracy is also done for any of the other reasons a player might attack another player - spite and war being a few examples. Pirating long-distance trade routes, while not particularly lucrative for high-level players (with a maximum payout of about 6,000 credits), can hinder the target's economy significantly.

Fighter drop

-	Although "Fighter Drop" can refer to any attack consisting solely of [[fighters]], it usually refers to the tactic of "dropping" fighters onto an enemy fleet to take out some of the enemy's weaker [[meatshields\|meatshield]] ships before making a larger attack.	+	Although "Fighter Drop" can refer to any attack consisting solely of [[fighters]] (FT), it usually refers to the tactic of "dropping" a fleet of fighters onto an enemy fleet to take out some of the enemy's weaker [[meatshields\|meatshield]] ships before making a larger attack.

-	This tactic takes advantage of the programming behind AstroEmpires' battle system, ~~namely~~ the fact that all units will attack what they can kill the most of first. For example, if a player attacks 1 [[Death Star\|DS]] and 100 FT with 50 FT, all of those 50 FT are going to attack the opponent's FT because they cannot deal damage through the DS's shields. This is why FT are so effective at soaking up damage intended for larger ships.	+	This tactic takes advantage of the programming behind AstroEmpires' battle system, mostly the fact that all units will attack what they can kill the most of first.

The purpose of the Fighter Drop is to strip away the defender's meatshields with cheap, expendable Fighters and allow big-ship killers to do their job.
