The Shadows are a collective of experienced Uni 1 players from a variety of alliances. We exist for the collective benefit of our members.
We are aggressive, but recognize that in some cases diplomacy is preferable to bloodshed. (Hence, we have a very limited number of NAPs.) All play styles are acceptable, including those who need to be in d-mode for real-life reasons.
We believe that all members are competent equals, and therefore our leadership and officers exist only to manage the alliance itself, not to issue directives or commands.
We are currently accepting all applicants, and our alliance has been ranked in the top 20 continuously since the universe began. (As I write this, we are #8 overall and in fleet points, #9 in RSP and DSP.) A link to our Wiki page may be found in my signature.
We also have an active chat group, a mobile hunting group, and a "homeland" protected by six moons (some equipped with Oracles up to level 5).
Newer players/accounts are welcome as well as the established. Some of our officers and members are very helpful in learning the game, including the core of a semi-training alliance from Uni 1.
