History
Eta I - 2005-7-24, Eta Island was first blockaded by Silver Dawn. The blockade was won in 7 rounds (out of a possible 12) against the strongest Vilya defense fleet yet shown. AtteSmythe was installed as governor and the majority of buildings currently on the island were built.

2004-11-26 (approx.) Quiglin appointed governor of Eta.

Eta II - 2004-11-9, Eta was blockaded by Silver Dusk, an alt flag run by Robertdonald of the Scallywag Syndicate. Rather than mount a traditional defense Silver Dawn made use of the Jyn exploit by dropping a warchest on itself with its own alt flag Merciless Exploit of War (MEOW). By declaring war against its own alt flag Eta II became a sinking blockade. Silver Dawn placed their blockade fleet Silver Armada in MEOW. With Silver Dawn's fleet, MEOW won the blockade. The governor position was returned to Silver Dawn immediately though MEOW continued to hold the island.

2005-02-19 (approx.) Crazyluigi appointed governor of Eta.

Eta III - 2005-5-1, Scallywag Syndicate used an alt flag, Scallywag Syndycate to blockade Eta Island. Scallywag Syndycate was victorious and installed Jacktheblack as governor. To partially recoup some of the cost of blockading the island, Jacktheblack built and auctioned off two shipyards; Briggin the Gap and Naughty Nauticals.

Eta IV - 2005-5-8, Silver Dawn retook the island of Eta from Scallywag Syndycate, winning 3 rounds out of 4. Crazyluigi was reinstalled as governor.
