Round 15 was won by [[eXilition]]. This round was one of the most closely contested rounds in the [[PAX]] era. From the start [[eXilition]] and [[1up]] engaged in an intense war. Although [[eXilition]] appeared superior in the early stages of the round, due to losing more roids while being involved in a war [[eXilition]] were unable to prevent [[Angels]] from moving ahead of them. A fluid conflict then developed involving between the various engaged alliances, with [[eXilition]] backed up by the smaller alliances [[Vengeance]] and [[Subh]] and [[Angels]] frequently co-operating with [[1up]] while [[NewDawn]] were able to take advantage of this situation to become [[roid-fat]] and rise to the #1 ranking. Eventually as [[eXilition]] were able to defeat [[1up]] and [[Angels]] they switched to [[NewDawn]] in an attempt to become #1 with only a short amount of time remaining. Thanks to higher activity, superior fleet combinations for the round with high numbers of [[Xandathrii]] planets and the benefits of landing on the [[roid-fat]] [[NewDawn]] planets [[eXilition]] managed to claim their second round victory.
Following [[1up]]'s huge margin of victory in [[Round 14]] '''Round 15''' saw [[eXilition]] return to the fold in order to take them on again. The other major alliances for this round were [[Angels]], who had recruited a large number of ex-[[Ministry]] players, [[NewDawn]] and, at least at first, [[Insomnia]]. eXi also [[NAP]]ed [[Subh]], now playing as a separate alliance, in preparation for the round. As the round kicked off the spotlight was firmly on 1up and eX, the only alliances to have won in the last four rounds and they did not disappoint. War broke out almost instantly between the two and with large numbers of hostile fleets focused on each other from virtually straight out of protection both saw their initial growth stunted.
