History

After the collapse of Project Terra, former Black Knights members decided to move back to Cyber Nations. After a week and a half of hard work, the Dark Empire was founded on November 23, 2011, the day before Thanksgiving and two days before the TOP/IRON-NpO War. On January 13, 2012 at 10pm, Irule, Crackedmind, and Gandalf approached the leaders of the Global Protection Force on IRC to merge. By noon January 14, a deal was brokered and The Dark Empire officially disbanded.
