In mid 2007, a pvp-oriented player named Bootmanj was back in the Uni with the intention of teaching more "real eve" pvp. He started organizing more fight clubs and events, but at some point he realized that wasn't enough to keep him entertained. So he asked Sabre A (a director at the time) about creating a more or less permanent class in low sec that taught players how to survive there. Rumor says that Sabre said "yeah go for it" without thinking about it twice or consulting with other directors. From there, Bootmanj made a short statement on the forums about an apprenticeship program requiring a minimum amount of SP and equipment and asking people to sign up. Soon, he had about 10 people interested (myself included) and lining up for interview. | In mid 2007, a pvp-oriented player named Bootmanj was back in the Uni with the intention of teaching more "real eve" pvp.

Now, Bootmanj's idea of apprenticeship was a "hands on" one but there would be nobody to hold yours. The idea was to LIVE in the place, not having just a weekend in there or come and go. The idea was to mine, rat, run missions and eventually pvp there. Learn the ropes by doing, usually alone or in groups of 2 or 3 and, like I said, it was kind of a shock for those of us that had never been in lowsec/0.0 for very long. Basically, we learned fast because we had to. | Now, Bootmanj's idea of apprenticeship was a "hands on" one but there would be nobody to hold yours.

At the height of the Anohel operation 2 or 3 months after the start of the program, we already had an interesting group of people more or less committed to it. Old names like [[m0rd0]], Storiim, Mildibus, Deturk, maltari, Bion Beefhammer, Faydelm, Shalroth, [[Ezekiel Sulastin]] and many others were already there scouting, exploring, fighting Le Skunk (the smartbombing guy) or [[Ezekiel Sulastin and losing Ishtars to frigate rats]]. Faydelm and I almost got kicked from the Uni because we were 'pirating'. In fact we were killing neutral macro haulers with Bootmanj's permission (who, in turn, got Sabres' permission himself), and that caused the directorship to take a closer look on the program... a program they didn't plan for or organize themselves, so they weren't so sure about how to handle it. After that incident, Dee joined us as the resident director and unrepentant miner. >.< | At the height of the Anohel operation 2 or 3 months after the start of the program, we already had an interesting group of people more or less committed to it.

Bootmanj left the Uni around this time due to "creative differences" with the RoE. He left Faydelm in charge of the program. Faydelm was also on his way out, he was going back to 0.0, so only a week after Bootmanj had left, the LSA was assigned to me by the directorship and so began my reign of terr... ehmm... leadership. With that, the first "age" of the LSA ended. | Bootmanj left the Uni around this time due to "creative differences" with the RoE. He left Faydelm in charge of the program.
