NewDawn was founded in round 1 by Sith & Stez & has played every round of Planetarion and often been represented in top blocks and alliance rankings. ND's philosophy is "fun first" and they play the game based around that, leading to a strong and active community.

Through building a strong core in round 1, ND became an elite alliance in round 2 with the highest average score until war with [WaC]. Cooperation with SK and F-Crew went wrong & left ND effectively dead.

In that period there was a power struggle between coffee and Sith/Stez and the ND core decided to create a new alliance to be called 'Inexorabilis'. It seemed to have a bright future & even before the end of round 2 there was active networking on forums & in channels. Unfortunately the attempt was undermined by traitors and with this failure, a great part of the old core decided to reinstitute ND.

Early round 3 featured a good start but some of the new command (eg aviendha, ashknight) lacked loyalty, leaving for DoM and undermining ND's efforts.

In round 4 ND began with only 10-12 people in the private channel, but with a new HC including Hardball, Riddim, Myrdhin and later on Orange, ND survived one of its worst rounds. With a new website, competent commanders & recruitment picking up, NewDawn was ready to go into round 5 as a real force once again.

The Furgion cartel dominated round 5, forcing ND to cooperate with Xanada with whom they had held good ties since r1. This cooperation allowed growth; mergers with ICD and YHQ added enough players to allowed ND to compete as a respectable power once again.

Round 6 was coloured by the entrance of Colcarpenter, former YHQ leader. Colcarpenter left ND later due to differences with old ND core, but he remains a positive influence in ND's history. Politically round 6 was the round of FoS, XeTa and FLTV. ND were a major player in Fusion of Six, or 'FoS' in an attempt to break the power of FLTV who were finally beaten by FoS-XeTa, ending the worst period of stagnation in PA history. After that, FoS/XeTa cooperation ended to prevent further stagnation, allowing FLTV to make a resurgence.

In PaX, NewDawn was able to step up, finishing third in [[Round 12]], allied to the winners [[1up]]. After a poor showing in the first half of [[Round 13]], NewDawn merged with [[SiN]] to form [[SiNND]] who finished fifth.

After the severe beating of [[Round 13]], the loss of many members to [[1up]], [[SiN]] joining [[Hydra]] and [[G-II]] de-merging it looked like NewDawn would collapse. However, the loyal core and several new recruits made a strong start with [[Gate]] and [[Flying_So-Low]] running the show. [[The_Fish]] and [[ReligFree]] later joined the HC team as [[Gate]] burned out. NewDawn first engaged the similarly sized [[Reunion]] in a rank war before swelling in size by absorbing members from the collapsed [[InSomnia]], [[Hydra]] and [[Wolfpack]]. At the end of the round, NewDawn were crushed by [[1up]] and their allies [[Reunion]], finishing second.

NewDawn went into [[Round 15]] with yet another HC change; [[Grog]], [[h3ll]], and [[Amon]] joining [[Flying_So-Low]] as HC. [[Grog]]'s political maneuvring let NewDawn reach the top spot, but [[eXilition]], helped by other alliances such as [[Subh]] and [[Vengeance]] were able to obliterate NewDawn's lead. Again, ND finished second.

In [[Round 16]] a new council was set up, constisting out of [[cura]], [[BA]], [[Paddy]] and [[JDD]]. [[Grog]] took the BG [[DLR]] out of tag for the round but despite this loss, NewDawn were still able to compete. [[1up]] defeated [[Subh]] early in the round, but NewDawn joined [[Subh]]'s side and, frustrated by the dominance of XP, [[1up]] began to weaken. The outcome of the war was never decided as [[Ascendancy]] tagged up and took an easy XP win leading to NewDawn surrendering the fight for first, eventually finishing 7th after tidying up its ranks.

[[Round 17]] saw NewDawn ally itself with [[InSomnia]] early on to engage the leaders [[Omen]]. Indecisive leadership and the failure to prosecute a proper war on behalf of both NewDawn and [[InSomnia]] allowed the conflict to become bitter and drag on with no clear resolution. [[1up]] hid a huge amount of score and by the time they tagged up, petty arguments between [[Omen]] and NewDawn/[[InSomnia]] allowed them to stroll to a victory.

NewDawn started [[Round 21]] with only two HC, namely [[Barrow]] and [[cura]]. After losing quite a few members to Conspiracy and WolfPack, NewDawn didn't compete for the #1 position and instead aimed to rebuild for the future.

This rebuilding effort was successful as NewDawn won [[Round 24]] and [[Round 25]], in both cases narrowly beating [[Urwins]] and [[Conspiracy]].

In that period there was a power struggle between coffee and Sith/Stez. A split was emerging and the ND core decided to create a new alliance & combine ND's core with elites from other alliances in a new alliance to be called 'Inexorabilis'. It seemed to have a bright future with a number of the best planetarion players & even before the end of round 2 there was active networking on forums & in channels. Unfortunately the attempt was undermined by traitors and with this failure, a great part of the old core decided to reinstitute ND.

With a new website under construction, competent commanders & recruitment picking up, NewDawn was ready to go into round 5 as a force to be reckoned with yet again.

In round 5 the Furgion cartel dominated the game, and many players quit. ND command contacted Xanadu, which whom they had held good ties with since r1, leading to some cooperation and managed to grow again; mergers with ICD and YHQ added enough players to allow ND to re-involve herself with the politics of the game as a respectable power.

NewDawn has played every round of Planetarion and often been represented in top blocks and alliance rankings. It was founded in round 1 by Sith and Stez. New Dawn's philosophy is "fun first" and they play the game with that idea first and foremost in their sights, contributing to a strong and active community.

Through building a strong core in round 1, ND became an elite alliance in round 2, with the highest average score (surpassing Concordium and Fury) until the war against WaC (We are Concordium) when cooperation with SK and F-Crew went wrong.

After the WaC war, NewDawn's competitive planets were effectively dead: some people went inactive while others stayed online to chat and prepare for the next round.

In that period there was a power struggle with coffee on one side, and Sith/Stez on the other. A split was emerging and the ND core decided to create a new alliance involving most good ND players & most of the former command (Sith, Stez, Odoric, Canker etc). The new alliance was to be called 'Inexorabilis'. It seemed to have a bright future with a number of the best planetarion players around; even before the end of round 2 there was active networking on forums & in channel. The idea was blown up by a few traitors and with this failure, a great part of the old ND command & core decided to reinstitute ND.

Early round 3 was a good showing for ND considering their serious losses. Some of the new command (eg aviendha, ashknight) weren't as loyal & at the end of round 3 they betrayed ND and left for DoM (a Legion junior alliance), causing significant damage to ND.

At the start of round 4, ND didn't have many more then 10-12 people in the private channel. With only one inactive commander (DigitalZero), a new batch of people took up the mantle of responsibility. With people like Hardball, Riddim, Myrdhin and later on Orange in HC, ND came back to life in one of its worst rounds. Despite a poor showing, ND survived with a new website under construction & competent commanders. With recruitment picking up, NewDawn was ready to go into round5 as a force to be reckoned with yet again.

In round 5 the Furgion cartel dominated the game, and many players quit. ND command contacted Xanadu, which whom they had held good ties since r1 thanks to the relationship between Sith & Sastul (Xanadu HC). NewDawn hoped

. They were the strongest force in the game apart from Furgion. ND command hoped to help them out in trying to get on even foot with furgion. Another reason for the cooperation was the good ties between ND and xanadu since round1 and more importantly between Sith (our co-founder) and Sastul [Xanadu HC). Quite some ND were put in Xanadu galaxies which made the ties even stronger, while other people were in furgion galaxies, which didn't make life easy for ND players. All round ND was able to grow again and get involved into the politics of the game and through the merges with alliances such as ICD and YHQ over the rounds, ND had slowly become a real force in PA again.

Round 6 was colored by the entrance of Colcarpenter in command, former YHQ leader and some other strong ex-YHQ people. Colcarpenter left ND again later because he had another idea on ND then the old core people had in mind, but he surely was a positive influence in ND' s history. Politically round 6 was the round of FoS, Xan and FLTV. FoS was a cooperation between six alliances (hence fusion of six) to try and break the power of Furgion who had now made an even bigger block with Virus and ToT involved also. Fos was created partly under the intiative of ND-command in order to close the gap between the superpowers and the rest of the game. FLTV was finally beaten by fos-xanadu, which ended the worst period of stagnation in the history of PA. After that FoS and Xanadu stopped cooperation because command didn't want to make the same mistake again, and stagnate the game by creating a too large block. This allowed fltv back in the game with fury even taking top planet spots at the end of the round.

In PaX, NewDawn was able to step up, finishing third in [[Round 12]], allied to the winners [[1up]]. After a poor showing in the first half of [[Round 13]], NewDawn merged with [[SiN]] to form [[SiNND]] who finished fifth.

After the severe beating of [[Round 13]], the loss of many members to [[1up]], [[SiN]] joining [[Hydra]] and [[G-II]] de-merging it looked like NewDawn would collapse. However, the loyal core and several new recruits made a strong start with [[Gate]] and [[Flying_So-Low]] running the show. [[The_Fish]] and [[ReligFree]] later joined the HC team as [[Gate]] burned out. NewDawn first engaged the similarly sized [[Reunion]] in a rank war before swelling in size by absorbing members from the collapsed [[InSomnia]], [[Hydra]] and [[Wolfpack]]. At the end of the round, NewDawn were crushed by [[1up]] and their allies [[Reunion]], finishing second.

NewDawn went into [[Round 15]] with yet another HC change; [[Grog]], [[h3ll]], and [[Amon]] joining [[Flying_So-Low]] as HC. [[Grog]]'s political maneuvring let NewDawn reach the top spot, but [[eXilition]], helped by other alliances such as [[Subh]] and [[Vengeance]] were able to obliterate NewDawn's lead. Again, ND finished second.

In [[Round 16]] a new council was set up, constisting out of [[cura]], [[BA]], [[Paddy]] and [[JDD]]. [[Grog]] took the BG [[DLR]] out of tag for the round but despite this loss, NewDawn were still able to compete. [[1up]] defeated [[Subh]] early in the round, but NewDawn joined [[Subh]]'s side and, frustrated by the dominance of XP, [[1up]] began to weaken. The outcome of the war was never decided as [[Ascendancy]] tagged up and took an easy XP win leading to NewDawn surrendering the fight for first, eventually finishing 7th after tidying up its ranks.

Indecisive leadership and the failure to prosecute a proper war on behalf of both NewDawn and [[InSomnia]] allowed the conflict to become bitter and drag on with no clear resolution.

Despite a poor showing, ND survived with a new website under construction & competent commanders. With recruitment picking up, NewDawn was ready to go into round5 as a force to be reckoned with yet again.

In round 5, with Furgion, the most damaging cartel in the history of PA, because of the inbalance it brought to the game which made a lot of people quit, ND command started to get more in touch with Xanadu. They were the strongest force in the game apart from Furgion. ND command hoped to help them out in trying to get on even foot with furgion. Another reason for the cooperation was the good ties between ND and xanadu since round1 and more importantly between Sith (our co-founder) and Sastul [Xanadu HC). Quite some ND were put in Xanadu galaxies which made the ties even stronger, while other people were in furgion galaxies, which didn't make life easy for ND players. All round ND was able to grow again and get involved into the politics of the game and through the merges with alliances such as ICD and YHQ over the rounds, ND had slowly become a real force in PA again.

Round 6 was colored by the entrance of Colcarpenter in command, former YHQ leader and some other strong ex-YHQ people. Colcarpenter left ND again later because he had another idea on ND then the old core people had in mind, but he surely was a positive influence in ND' s history. Politically round 6 was the round of FoS, Xan and FLTV. FoS was a cooperation between six alliances (hence fusion of six) to try and break the power of Furgion who had now made an even bigger block with Virus and ToT involved also. Fos was created partly under the intiative of ND-command in order to close the gap between the superpowers and the rest of the game. FLTV was finally beaten by fos-xanadu, which ended the worst period of stagnation in the history of PA. After that FoS and Xanadu stopped cooperation because command didn't want to make the same mistake again, and stagnate the game by creating a too large block. This allowed fltv back in the game with fury even taking top planet spots at the end of the round.

In PaX, NewDawn was able to step up, finishing third in [[Round 12]], allied to the winners [[1up]]. After a poor showing in the first half of [[Round 13]], NewDawn merged with [[SiN]] to form [[SiNND]] who finished fifth.

After the severe beating of [[Round 13]], the loss of many members to [[1up]], [[SiN]] joining [[Hydra]] and [[G-II]] de-merging it looked like NewDawn would collapse. However, the loyal core and several new recruits made a strong start with [[Gate]] and [[Flying_So-Low]] running the show. [[The_Fish]] and [[ReligFree]] later joined the HC team as [[Gate]] burned out. NewDawn first engaged the similarly sized [[Reunion]] in a rank war before swelling in size by absorbing members from the collapsed [[InSomnia]], [[Hydra]] and [[Wolfpack]]. At the end of the round, NewDawn were crushed by [[1up]] and their allies [[Reunion]], finishing second.

NewDawn went into [[Round 15]] with yet another HC change; [[Grog]], [[h3ll]], and [[Amon]] joining [[Flying_So-Low]] as HC. [[Grog]]'s political maneuvring let NewDawn reach the top spot, but [[eXilition]], helped by other alliances such as [[Subh]] and [[Vengeance]] were able to obliterate NewDawn's lead. Again, ND finished second.

In [[Round 16]] a new council was set up, constisting out of [[cura]], [[BA]], [[Paddy]] and [[JDD]]. [[Grog]] took the BG [[DLR]] out of tag for the round but despite this loss, NewDawn were still able to compete. [[1up]] defeated [[Subh]] early in the round, but NewDawn joined [[Subh]]'s side and, frustrated by the dominance of XP, [[1up]] began to weaken. The outcome of the war was never decided as [[Ascendancy]] tagged up and took an easy XP win leading to NewDawn surrendering the fight for first, eventually finishing 7th after tidying up its ranks.

[[Round 17]] saw NewDawn ally itself with [[InSomnia]] early on to engage the leaders [[Omen]]. Indecisive leadership and the failure to prosecute a proper war on behalf of both NewDawn and [[InSomnia]] allowed the conflict to become bitter and drag on with no clear resolution. [[1up]] hid a huge amount of score and by the time they tagged up, petty arguments between [[Omen]] and NewDawn/[[InSomnia]] allowed them to stroll to a victory.

NewDawn started [[Round 21]] with only two HC, namely [[Barrow]] and [[cura]]. After losing quite a few members to Conspiracy and WolfPack, NewDawn didn't compete for the #1 position and instead aimed to rebuild for the future.

This rebuilding effort was successful as NewDawn won [[Round 24]] and [[Round 25]], in both cases narrowly beating [[Urwins]] and [[Conspiracy]].

NewDawn has played every round of Planetarion and often been represented in top blocks and alliance rankings. It was founded in round 1 by Sith and Stez. New Dawn's philosophy is "fun first" and they play the game with that idea first and foremost in their sights, contributing to a strong and active community.

Through building a strong core in round 1, ND became an elite alliance in round 2, with the highest average score (surpassing Concordium and Fury) until the war against WaC (We are Concordium) when cooperation with SK and F-Crew went wrong.

After the WaC war, NewDawn's competitive planets were effectively dead: some people went inactive while others stayed online to chat and prepare for the next round.

In that period there was a power struggle with coffee on one side, and Sith/Stez on the other. A split was emerging and the ND core decided to create a new alliance involving most good ND players & most of the former command (Sith, Stez, Odoric, Canker etc). The new alliance was to be called 'Inexorabilis'. It seemed to have a bright future with a number of the best planetarion players around; even before the end of round 2 there was active networking on forums & in channel. The idea was blown up by a few traitors and with this failure, a great part of the old ND command & core decided to reinstitute ND.

Early round 3 was a good showing for ND who were not as strong as before but still a force to be reckoned with. Some new command people (eg. aviendha, ashknight) weren't as loyal as the old command, & at the end of round 3 they betrayed ND and left for DoM (a Legion junior alliance), causing significant damage to ND. It still had some old command but they weren't as active as they used to be.

At the start of round 4, ND didn't have many more then 10/12 people in the private channel. Because DZ (digitalzero) was the only one left in command and he went inactive, a new batch of people took the responsability for ND upon themselves. With people like Hardball, Riddim, Myrdhin and later on Orange in HC, ND came back to life in one of the worst rounds it had ever played. But the important part was that people were cooperating well again, a new website was being worked on and the command was filled with able and active people, so that recruitment started to pick up again and considering the means ND had it played a decent round and was ready to go into round5 as a force to be reckoned with again.

In round 5, with Furgion, the most damaging cartel in the history of PA, because of the inbalance it brought to the game which made a lot of people quit, ND command started to get more in touch with Xanadu. They were the strongest force in the game apart from Furgion. ND command hoped to help them out in trying to get on even foot with furgion. Another reason for the cooperation was the good ties between ND and xanadu since round1 and more importantly between Sith (our co-founder) and Sastul [Xanadu HC). Quite some ND were put in Xanadu galaxies which made the ties even stronger, while other people were in furgion galaxies, which didn't make life easy for ND players. All round ND was able to grow again and get involved into the politics of the game and through the merges with alliances such as ICD and YHQ over the rounds, ND had slowly become a real force in PA again.

Round 6 was colored by the entrance of Colcarpenter in command, former YHQ leader and some other strong ex-YHQ people. Colcarpenter left ND again later because he had another idea on ND then the old core people had in mind, but he surely was a positive influence in ND' s history. Politically round 6 was the round of FoS, Xan and FLTV. FoS was a cooperation between six alliances (hence fusion of six) to try and break the power of Furgion who had now made an even bigger block with Virus and ToT involved also. Fos was created partly under the intiative of ND-command in order to close the gap between the superpowers and the rest of the game. FLTV was finally beaten by fos-xanadu, which ended the worst period of stagnation in the history of PA. After that FoS and Xanadu stopped cooperation because command didn't want to make the same mistake again, and stagnate the game by creating a too large block. This allowed fltv back in the game with fury even taking top planet spots at the end of the round.

In PaX, NewDawn was able to step up, finishing third in [[Round 12]], allied to the winners [[1up]]. After a poor showing in the first half of [[Round 13]], NewDawn merged with [[SiN]] to form [[SiNND]] who finished fifth.

[[Grog]]'s political maneuvring let NewDawn reach the top spot, but [[eXilition]], helped by other alliances such as [[Subh]] and [[Vengeance]] were able to obliterate NewDawn's lead. Again, ND finished second.

In [[Round 16]] a new council was set up, constisting out of [[cura]], [[BA]], [[Paddy]] and [[JDD]]. [[Grog]] took the BG [[DLR]] out of tag for the round but despite this loss, NewDawn were still able to compete. [[1up]] defeated [[Subh]] early in the round, but NewDawn joined [[Subh]]'s side and, frustrated by the dominance of XP, [[1up]] began to weaken. The outcome of the war was never decided as [[Ascendancy]] tagged up and took an easy XP win leading to NewDawn surrendering the fight for first, eventually finishing 7th after tidying up its ranks.
