"Turmoil prior to perfection." Here at Bloodstone Industries, we focus on mining, scientific research/development/production, mass manufacturing and security, and we take pride in the quality of our labor. Bloodstone Industries was created for that which we feel Eve lacks: A Corporation who believes in the motto "Turmoil prior to perfection" (an Ancient Earth saying associated with the mineral, "heliotrope", mythologically said to first be found on Ancient Earth, and is known commonly throughout Eve on a multitude of habitable/minable worlds as "Bloodstone"). Our principles are based on hard work and loyal comradery. For more information, please visit our Data Center. DEC 26: WELCOME: A new member joins the corporation: Belleta! We welcome her with open arms and look forward to taking a new person into our fold as we move into the next phase of our future as a corporate entity. DEC 21: UPDATE: All Corporate divisions and lead members have been working very hard in preparation for the next step in Bloodstone's Economic Plan simply classified as "Phase Two". Our need for our own corporate minerals has increased exponentially and become our number one priority. All mining and manufacturing clients have been (and will be) on hold until after the new year. When the next step in Bloodstone Industries' "evolution" is achieved publicly, our manufacturing and mining services for our personal clientel may shift to allow for unqiue focus on moe unqiue, dynamic needs, while allowing reassessment or usage of what we plan to offer. It has been said before but we are preparing to change The Forge region.... just enough to turn your head a little. NOV 27: In celebration of hard work, ancient rituals, and the return of Jared Tobin to Saisio after heavy Kernite mining, Braveguy, Mell Anders, and Abner G. were the first recipients to be awarded with The Mining Heart award. Abner G. and Braveguy were also awarded The Open Heart award for their specific and individually personal and dedicated donations above and highly beyond the call of duty for the corporation and its Bloodstone Brethren. Lastly Braveguy was awarded The Tech II Bloodstone Achievement prized scientific award. The Bloodstone Brethren primarily come from a passed-down mythological observation of Ancient Northern American holidays, so their award fitted timingly well with their gluttonous celebrations of "Thanksgiving". Jared Tobin was on deck in the Saisio station to award them all for their outstanding, and much deserved, achievements before leaving for a celebratory feast on New Caldari Prime. NOV 9: Embarked on a deepspace mining convoy to Genesis... OCT 28: WE ARE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MINERS! Yes. We have had chance encounters with great people, alliances and even individual corporations who have wished to ally, merge with, or even buy-out Bloodstone Industries in the past 2 weeks. To be very clear, with no disrespect implied, Bloodstone Industries is here to stay. We are braving the strange conditions along the ever changing routes in The Forge region, along with its fluxuant market and trade routes, however we are in a phase of adjustment and refinement for the rest of this year. As with Ancient Earth tradition, a lot of us will be involved with holiday shoreleaves, festivals, and even one of our deepspace miners has returned from a Jovian medical station successfully after undergoing the latest technological-breakthrough knee surgery in the past 10 centuries over the next 2 months. (Our deep core miner, Abner G, is mining as usual and has been a quiet, yet triumphant figure in our mining division.) His only request (which has become a major request from us all) is that we need more miners. We are in the universe to shape it, one step at a time, and if you are interested, please contact us or submit an application. We are most importantly looking for miners as well as security and tradesmen, including industrialists. Visit our Data Center for more information and membership submission locations and policies. Aug 25: MINING PARTY SUCCESS: Much thanks to this Sunday's participants of the most successfully autonomously complete and total mining of the entire Saisio VIII's 3rd Asteroid Belt: Vifnab (our newly promoted Mining Foreman Specialist), Abner G (our mining feind and hauler, too!), Braveguy (for stayin up late on that side of the planet and waking up to finish the job with Jared Tobin at 3:30am for us), and Mell Anders (for working some overtime for Bloodstone)!!! Great job guys. A bottle of Spirits in each member's hangar courtesy of Braveguy and Jared Tobin as a thank you gift for your commitment, honor, and determination! Aug 23: Due to an accidental scanner erasure from one of the many Amarr or Caldari Customs' Boarding scans, we have found some corrupt data in the original Data Nodes, hence the lack of updates in 3 sections. We have dispatched a request for copies, plus additional newly retrieved data, and are expecting all missing data to be integrated less than 48 hours into our Data Center. Thank you for your patience. Aug 5: This website was successfully launched. Send us over a broadwave for any errors or corrections overlooked. Caldari founded, members of Bloodstone Industries are an ecclectic and multi-racial family: A diverse spectrum of skilled specialists working together, and that work is what makes us whole. We focus on mining, security, scientific development/production, and take pride in the quality of our group-oriented work. We are a diversified group of specialized miners, skilled security pilots and escorts, excellent scientists and industrial developers, determined mission-runners, and focus on working with those who believe in communication and working together. Through cooperative communication, we encourage a symbiotic respect and path of helping the growth of, not only the individual, but ultimately the group as a whole. We are for hire. For details, please visit our Data Center. Our HQ location: Region: The Forge Constellation: Okomon Solar System: Saisio Station: Saisio VII, Moon 1 (Peace and Order Unit Testing Facities) X: 680120758723.0 Y: -87625358157.7 Z: 357544046766.0 Our Headquarters are situated on the main "highway" through The Forge region. There are several specific reasons why we chose to settle first in Saisio (for specific details, visit our Data Center). Aside from our need for a well-equipped Science & Industry Research and Manufacturing Laboratory station, it is a central point for all traffic, allowing for various access options to the Lonetrek, The Citadel, and Sinq Laison regions within 7 stargate jumps or less, as well as many other unique areas of special interest. Membership applications are accepted at our Headquarters as well. We are a family, and to be honest: If that's not your cup of tea (or pint of beer), you might as well look elsewhere... now. Bloodstone Industries is accepting applications from both new and experienced (non-wreckless) pilots. We are especially interested in specialized miners, skilled security pilots, excellent scientists and industrial developers (manufacturers), determined mission-runners, trustworthy trading experts, and haulers (positive experiences from previous customers upon request). We encourage a symbiotic respect and path of helping the growth of, not only the individual, but ultimately the group as a whole. Assistance for new members is a priority with Bloodstone Industries. Please note trust is something that is earned, not assumed. Your promotion into Level 2 security clearance will be assessed by the existing Bloodstone family as a whole, and your promotion can occur anywhere between 2-8 weeks. Until then, take the time to get to know the other members, get a feel for how we work together, laugh together, and even fight together. If you're looking for a corporation who will just give you ISK on a tritanium platter, turn around now. Don't look back. No joke. For more information on membership (and its limitations), divisions of the corporation, specific areas of interest, security levels and other station locations, please visit our Data Center. ADMINISTRATION Jared Tobin CEO & Security Ops Chief Jared Tobin formed Bloodstone Industries. He is the CEO, analyzing any security group operations as well as carrying his Security Chief training from the previous corporation he trained in and applies it to everyone's project and fleet efforts when possible. Therefore he organizes and leads certain operations as the corporation's Security Ops Chief. As a man, he's relatively friendly, fair, and compassionate... to a point. His trading reputation in Jita has been exemplary, however it is speculated by those who have known him that a change in his stern demeanor (and a notable increase in his tattoos) resulted from stories of deep space convoy missions. Most notably, his heightened stance on security is assumed to be the result of a single convoy mission from the Genesis region into what is now declared Black Rise (prior to the Empyrean Age). Jared doesn't talk much about that, so err on the side of caution when trading war-stories. Otherwise, as CEO, he takes responsibility for Bloodstone Industries' internal well-being as a whole, including the actions of his fellow Brethren. Jared Tobin also communicates closely with Braveguy, a man whom he declared his Co-CEO. However, if you have any concerns or problems about any Bloodstone member, questions on work-orders or corporate membership, or simply wish to say hello, you can send him an eve-mail directly or broadwave him when away from his ship. Braveguy Co-CEO & Mad Scientist (Industry Ops) Braveguy helped Jared Tobin massively move and assemble Bloodstone Industries for 3 days straight prior to its incarnation. His consistency, loyalty and expertise in the Scientific and Industrial aspects of Bloodstone Industries immediately assured him the active (and rather divisible) role as Co-CEO, with, what we call, Level 4 security clearance. As the Industry Operations Chief (self-proclaimed "Mad Scientist" and our best scientist and manufacturer), he is involved inside the Bloodstone Labs, responsible for the Industrial Operatives and Scientists who work within Bloodstone Industries and report to him for current scientific and work-order manufacturing projects, and he has been known to carry his own on Mission Runs rather well, too. He currently is the most skilled for manufacturing efficiency and production needs and has been described as "hard working, smart, a good fighter if need be, and a VistaHater." (According to legend, "Vista" was an operating system for primitive computers of Ancient Earth, and, according to legend, not only did its notoriety for collapsing computers themselves during the early and mid-21st century proliferate, it is speculated to have quite possibly been partially responsible for the collapse of the wormhole between the Milky Way and Eve galaxies. This is, of course, pure speculation.) If you have any work-order concerns, questions, job order inquiries, or simply wish to say hello, you can send him an eve-mail directly. SCIENCE & INDUSTRY Mell Anders Industry Specialist & Mining Ops Mell Anders joined Bloodstone Industries not fully knowing where he would best be suited at first. He had been friends with Jared Tobin in passing, the occasional mine field, the same station loading cargo and even ran into each other at a local station bar somewhere in The Citadel region sharing tattoo stories. They exchanged occasional broadwaves for months until one day, Mell showed up at the Peace and Order Unit Testing Facilities station, ran into Jared (setting up the HQ office) and asked what all the cargo crates were for. After a week, he joined the Bloodstone Industries family and has fallen into a specially diversified (and high security clearance) role of Industry Specialist & Mining Operations. Mell Anders exudes all the respectible qualities of a tough man just trying to make a living in the 'Verse, yet, like all who are a part of Bloodstone Industries, when in need, he's one trustworthy man - there to help do his part for the family. He knows his ships inside and out, manages to smoke only the best cigars in Caldari space, and when it comes to his title, not only does he expertly mine, but also works in our labs in tandum with Braveguy. His analytical and strategic skills that naturally came from his numerous Mission Runs and singular mining expeditions are now working for him in the Industrial realm of Bloodstone, working with Braveguy in the Science & Industry sect of Bloodstone, he also keeps his fighting skills in shape with Mission Running and puts his talents to work in the myriad of asteroid belts in the neighboring systems of HQ. If you have any mining concerns, mission running advice, or simply wish to say hello, you can send him an eve-mail directly. MINING DIVISION Abner G Specialist: Heavy Mining Division We all are a family at Bloodstone, so when Abner joined Bloodstone Industries, his hands-on knowledge upon meeting him included stories of unique ship knowledge and configurations, energy weapon load-outs, and especially his run in with low sec marauders back in the day. So why isn't he in the Security Division of Bloodstone Industries? Well, we all were amazed when he docked his ships and helped lug some of his mining equipment into the Corporate Astrogeology Hangar. In his many stories of worlds and ice fields, some in regions none of us had been, along with his vast knowledge of stellar and astrogeological cartography for multiple mining regions, it soon became clear: If there was any title that could best desribe Abner G, it would simply be "mining fiend". This man can mine like nobody's business (and sometimes it isn't your business), and he has been known to venture into the great expanse of low sec space. Nonetheless, the turnover rate for his mining placed him quickly in the high ranks of Bloodstone as our first, and quite possibly most prominent, Specialist in our Heavy Mining Division. With his consistent generosity to teach others his mining tricks and knowledge of the mining trade, he has also excelled in a high level security position within our Mining Division. Aside from his current mining duties, Abner plans on exploring the skilled art of deep core mining as well as cosmic gas harvesting. However, there is something about him: Perhaps a few too many days or weeks spent out in deep space has made him a bit quiet when he's on the corp wave communications channel. But if you join the Bloodstone family, you'll learn quickly not to take it personally because we cannot stress this fact: Bloodstone Industries is a family and, with that common bond, Abner G will rightly protect himself and anyone in the Corporation from structural or personal harm. You can contact him, especially if you need some trustworthy mining advice or help, by sending him an eve-mail directly. Vifnab Specialist: Mining Division Foreman When Vifnab joined Bloodstone Industries, he was recommended initially through Abner G. He was our first "Bloodstone Freshcut" who reached the trusted high-security ranks quickly when he took the initiative to form Bloodstone's first Mining Fleet Expedition. With his mining skills set to boost the entire fleet's production (something Bloodstone had yet to try in the first 2 weeks of existence), he took the initiative and assembled Bloodstone's first Mining Fleet Expedition (we now affectionately call them "Mining Parties"). His initiative and abilities to strategically place giant secure containers in Saisio, form mining fleets, and engineer fleet boosters for mining yields showed that Vifnab has innate Mining Foreman potential. He is currently studying to become quite possibly Bloodstone Industries' first licensed Foreman of our Mining Division. You can contact him via an eve-mail directly. We have taken the time to create a Data Center for all extra information, ranging from corporate policies to stellar cartographic maps of special interest. It will update itself as more information is delivered and compiled from our incoming data nodes.
