Nebula-X (Original)
Nebula-X (Original) was created on July-4-2008. Most early members were from an old alliance called South Arctic Empire. Nebula-x was founded on the Purple Sphere and became a member of Pegasus with the help of Valhalla and ChefJoe. Nebula-X (Original) saw tremendous prosperity and made many new friends along the way mostly on purple. The Alliance got taste of war by helping her allies and also had her own clash with the alliance: Knights of Aragon. reasons: Asshatery.

Nebula-X (original) was founded by Zabee and Ludacrism2 along with 5 friends. It went through couple merges and reached a peak strength of 1,200,000 before it started its travel downhill and eventually reaching disbandment on June 2008.

Some of the significant Leaders of Nebula-X (original) were: Zabee, Ludacrism2, Dan2680 and Mr. Teets.

Nebula-X (reviVolutionized)
Nebula-X (reviVolutionized) is a rebirth of Nebula-X(Original). It still shares the same Original core that Nebula-X (original) started out with. Nebula-X (reviVolutionized) has been in works for since November of 2008. Alot of thought and consideration has been put behind Nebula-X (reviVolutionized) to make sure none of the mistakes repeat from Nebula-X (Original). This time the alliance will start from a different angle of CN politics. We will take it slow when it comes to foreign affairs, developing a long lasting trust before any signatures are made.

Before starting Nebula-X (reviVolutionized) all parties of the Nebula-X (Original) were contacted asking for their consent and blessings. Everybody liked the idea except two significant people from Nebula-x (Original) Mr Teets and Aetherius Princeps. These two individuals sore that they will not allow Nebula-X to reborn and will try their best to destroy the mere idea of a new Nebula-X. But since the Majority was pro Nebula-X (reviVolutionized)therefore Sonic and TheOne along with other Nations started brainstorming new ideas in order to Revive, revolution and Evolve Nebula-X (Original) and creating Nebula-X (reviVolutionized)

Nebula-X returned as a member of the Pegasus bloc, until growth allowed us to venture out on our own. Signing am with the United Purple Nations in May of 2010 while remaining a member of the PEACE coalition. We take pride in our membership and ask that our membership take pride in Nebula-X.
