many historians were hired and other investigators earned a lot of money too.

result: the so far known history of the Dark Phoenix clan

828AS/3008 A.D.

The first mentions of the Dark Phoenix were around the time of when a
notorious mercenary clan known as Knights of Mercy (PX) was one of the
biggest and most active clans in the known (Crossfire) universe. Rumors
report about a splitting of a small group of elite fighters from PX because
of their opponent ideas regarding policy and profits. Later on this group
gave itself the name Dark Phoenix. Because like the fabulous bird it
revived out of the ashes of PX-internal fights. They were such a nuisance
for PX that they had a KoS placed on them. What results this had are not
known, for much has been lost or forgotten since then.

833AS/3013 A.D.

Soon after the downfall, and disbanding of The Knights of Mercy, the
Dark Phoenix clan shifted from the shadows of deep space from whence
they were hidden. Under the wise leadership of SolidNebula and his
second in command, Shockwave, the Dark Phoenix clan began to once again
make a careful but resolute presence in the Crossfire universe. Later,
Dark Phoenix administrative clan leader denne was recruited into the
fold of this honorary mercenary clan. From there on, things have gone
smoothly, with the inclusion of multiple new members and new
opportunities that presented themselves.

834AS/3014 A.D.

DP established its name and economy and they even were elected as the
commanding party of the Sigma 17 system since they significantly reduced
the permanent criminal threat of Outcasts and Corsairs in this part of
the border worlds - and because of their wealth, of course. As |DP|denne
set to mastering the art of leading the Dark Phoenix clan and its
members, SolidNebula and Shockwave slowly faded away, only popping up
from time to time for a brief look at what their clan had been up to and
to see what news had been going around in Sirius and nearby systems.
Rumors tell us about a moon in Altair that was bought by an unknown and
rich guy with Sirius slang and the look of Solidnebula. Allegedly he
very often gets visit of another man with obviously roots in Sirius and
his girls. Nobody knows if that is really Shockwave, but we all wish
them luck and fun whereever they are.

835AS/3015 A.D.

Meanwhile DP became one of the most active clans, providing help in all
thinkable ways to whomever pays most, shortly before establishing its
new headquarter and investing large funds into science and developing of
new military and civilian technologies. Their reputation increased so
high that all Sirius Houses and other clans agreed to give DP the right
and honor to provide an own Galaxy Ranger: AZ09 (Quote: "Hell ya, i do
this job. I love alcohol and babes, but without justice they don't
taste.").

And then there came the time, when the famous Galaxy Ranger AZ09 decided to do it like SolidNebula and Shockwave. With all the missions against Outcasts he earned enough credits to buy a continent on a planet far away from Sirius and its ongoing fights and clashes. He opened tourism centers for surfing, parachuting, shark-riding and other borderline sports and became a silent legend for many adventure seekers all over the known galaxy. There is no need for him to show off to gather girls attention anymore. The girls come to him now and seek for his attention. Quote by AZ09: "The secret was, to find myself. With that done, now all what i need finds me." If You think Chuck Norris is cool, then you never met AZ09. Well, from time to time he still comes to visit us for a drink, or 20 or so, for good old days
