History

Founding

Stardust Heavy Industries [DUST] was founded by a merger of two corporations; Stardust Incorporated, and TAS - United Confederation. Founding members were Athanassos, Bidi Waymiller, Euron, Mescalito, PSEWAR, Stan Wenneseph and Terrek.

First Alliance

The first alliance DUST joined, before CONCORD sanctioned alliances were available, was the Coalition of Free Stars [CFS]. Quickly growing dissatisfied with what it perceived as CFS's lack of focus, DUST left CFS and formed the Star Alliance (StA). StA soon centered itself in Delve and fought its first large engagements. StA soon found itself in conflict with the controlling corporations in the Delve, including the CFS, leading ultimately to StA's destruction.

Gaining experience

DUST's history from this point was one of risk and setback. The corporation joined the Xetic Alliance, which disbanded under crippling losses in a war it started. Following Xetic's destruction DUST pursued a strategy of independence and self-sufficiency, reorganizing into a divisional system which has endured to the present day.

Eventually DUSTS's leadership led the corporation back to lowsec space, settling in the Fade. Soon afterward DUST joined the alliance Dusk and Dawn [D2] at the beginning of 2007. D2 was at that time engaged in a war against BoB, MC, Aftermath, YouWhat, Vigilance Infinitas and their allies. After a period of protracted warfare, D2 lost the control over a considerable part of its territory and was disbanded on 4th of June 2007. DUST again returned to its native empire in August of that year.

With D2's collapse, DUST formed its own alliance: Majesta Empire
