=== EVE University ===

Etienne spent over 12 months in EVE University and from an early age lent his abilities, most noticeably, to the universities 'Low-Sec Camp' amongst other projects. Based out of the metropolis region of New Eden, Etienne had many responsibilities including mentoring and serving as an officer in the IVY League Navy (ILN).

Etienne was a staff officer of the ''"new" (12th July 114 YC)'' IVY League Navy. He held the ranks of Lt. Commander & Commander and was responsible for all ILN recruitment, records and the creation and command of the Operational Command Support Unit (OCSU). As a Lt.Commander, Etienne was an officer of the old ILN Battlegroup 3: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg| Honeybadgers]", where his responsibilities include tracking ILN leadership, certifications and fleet participation. After a brief period of re-organisation Etienne was promoted to Commander and formed the OCSU, a department of the ILN overseeing recruitment, record keeping, intelligence and PvP based events. Etienne resigned his ILN commission in November 114 YC shortly before leaving IVY League for sov-warfare.

In November ~~114 YC~~, Etienne joined 4S Corporation. 4S is one of the oldest and most accomplished corporations in New Eden. Created in 2003, 4S was involved in early alliance warfare as part of Fountain Alliance while independently establishing a reputation for effective anti-pirate fighting. In 2006 the corporation began to build an industrial base suitable for the capital age and founded the alliance Morsus Mihi, leading it and the Northern Coalition to become one of the most powerful and influential entities EVE has ever seen, and being involved in most of the game's major wars.

In January 2012 4S joined Razor Alliance and in September 2013 moved into Goonswarm Federation and continuing its presence within the CFC.

Line 56:

4S has been involved in over 100,000 kills since 2006. An average of 1500 each month. You can expect constant PvP ranging from the smallest skirmish contacts to the legendary capital battles that often come to define periods of EVE's military and political history. But 4S is more than a PvP corporation, it's a gaming community with roots dating back before EVE itself. We're an incredibly friendly bunch of guys. Many of us have holidays planned together, along with frequent meet-ups. Many of our pilots are 'lifers', if 4S wasn't their first serious 0.0 corp it quickly becomes their last as they form friendships and enjoy experienced, ambitious and fun-seeking leadership, they can't imagine ever leaving.

Once led as a corp by Vuk Lau, respected as a former CSM chairman and longtime coalition leader, 4S maintains a reliable empire-based industry and healthy finances which sees us able to offer reimbursement of all main fleet doctrine ships, as well as invest in capital ships, provide fuel and assist new pilots with free ships. There is an emphasis on efficient centralised logistics so you can expect to be able to buy fitted ships from the corporation at our staging location, get your assets moved by carrier/jump freighter when the corporation relocates, order items from Jita and benefit from 0.0 market seeding. Of course none of this happens without the dedication of our players and if you have ambitions to join the tight-knit command team there are always opportunities.

Not strictly an official deployment, but in December 114 YC RAZOR began putting pressure on Intrepid Crossing's infrastucture looking for good PvP fights. Etienne was extremely active in small gang roams and large scale fleet doctrine engagments against RAZORS's arch enemy neigbours. IRC was already on shaky ground due to a recent nerf to drone alloy drops and had started to fray internally.

As IRC began folding under repeated bombardment from multi time zone fleets, it became apparent to RAZOR leadership that IRC was struggling to mount a lasting defense.

In the days that followed RAZOR diplomats brokered a deal with IRC to let them move assets out of Cobalt Edge peacefully in exchange for sovereignty of their space. The deal included gifting southern Cobalt Edge space to IRC's only allies in the main engagement, ROGUE.

Goonswarm Federation currently owns the Deklein region and has holdings in Branch, Cloud Ring, Pure Blind and Fade. Its members are known as "Goons" due to their origin in the Something Awful community. Thanks to vast holdings of northern Technetium, Goons play under a cradle-to-grave system where they are reimbursed for all PvP losses, leading to comedy fleet compositions in non-strategic fleet operations and bitter veterans shoveling massive amounts of ISK into the wallets of newbies.

''The 27th was a Monday and I didn't expect to play EVE that day as I'd been quite busy. I logged into EVE about 21:30 to update my training queue, intending to log straight back out as I had an early start the next day. I leave my PC on 24hrs a day so I started to scour through the days jabber pings. At first, nothing unusual. But I slowly noticed their was an awful lot of them and then as I scrolled down I was hit with constant pings of titans going down and rage logging. I don't think I've ever logged in so fast. As the client loaded I was receiving fresh pings for subcaps. All hell was breaking loose. I ran downstairs for my arbitrary juice and snacks for the ensuing night shift and while downstairs the reality of the situation hit me. Titan kills, tidi unlike anything anyone has ever experienced and then I thought about how long this fight could potentially last. It dawned on me that we could be at this until downtime.

No titan killmails for me but none of the excruciating ti-di either. The intel we received was that the enemy was trying to break of their respective staging areas to bring reinforcements to B-R, NCdot out of GXK and Nulli out of I-N. We were tasked with preventing Nulli from breaking out of I-N whilst protecting fresh convoys of dictors into B-R. We escorted around 50 dictors into B-R then focused on I-N. From 22:15 to 01:15 we killed almost everything that tried to break out of station. Around 75 kills in total including 9 carriers. At this point victory was assured and as the USTZ came into full swing I retired for the night knowing that every pilot no matter where they were played his/her part in this historic battle.''

 ==== The atrocity of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Detorid/0-W778 0-W778] 2014 ====
-On February 15th, in a [http://www.twitch.tv/themittanidotcom/b/503607080/ State of the Goonion (SOTA)] address by [http://evewho.com/pilot/The+Mittani The Mittani], it was announced that there would be an act of 'atrocity' performed against [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/alliance/Nulli_Secunda/ Nulli Secunda] in the hopes of twisting the knife against their already crippled capital fleet.  At around 18:30 the entire CFC including Etienne deployed en mass to the current Nulli staging in [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Detorid/0-W778 0-W778] for a week long assault against their assets and their state of mind.  The aim of this operation is to 'hellcamp' remaining forces into station and to burn remaining assets to the ground.  This operation is quite unusual as the CFC will spend the entire deployment living out of POS's with operations commencing around the clock for an entire week's assault.
