Brothers In Arms

[darkslayer]

Brothers In Arms is a tight knit community of brothers (and sisters) who strive to ensure the common defense and prosperity of its member states. We're small, 3 members and 120k total NS but we have quality, hard working members and terrific friends.

Brothers In Arms is a Brown Team Alliance. This does not mean that you have to be on the brown team, but it is recommended. The Brown team has potential and B.I.A. will work hard to turn a wrecked sphere around, for stability!

For more experienced players that wish to start something up from scratch, B.I.A. offers 5 government positions for experienced, dedicated members. This does not mean however that we'll give you a government position just for joining. Well duh!
