THE TAIPAN LEAGUE IS FOR PLAYERS WHO ARE ACTIVE IN AND AROUND THE UTC+10 TIMEZONE. THE LEAGUE AIMS TO OPERATE ON THE BOUNDARY OF ‘THE POSSIBLE’ BY SEEKING OUT THE MOST CHALLENGING OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS. IT HAS ONE OVERARCHING PURPOSE … TO SAFEGUARD ‘FREEDOM OF NAVIGATION’ THROUGHOUT THE ‘VERSE.
THE TAIPAN LEAGUE WAS ESTABLISHED IN FEBRUARY 2952. IT WAS FORMED BY A GROUP OF SEASONED PLAYERS WHO PREFER TO WIN THROUGH THE USE OF WIT AND SKILL RATHER THAN SHEER WEIGHT OF NUMBERS. ITS EMBLEM IS THE TAIPAN – SWIFT AND DEADLY. LIKE ITS NAMESAKE, THE LEAGUE ONLY STRIKES WHEN PROVOKED.
ITS HISTORY IS YET TO BE WRITTEN BY THOSE WHO JOIN ITS RANKS … COMRADES ALL.
