Othar Hamund

Serving as the indomitable CEO of The Exchange Collective for more than a decade, Hamund's leadership and strategic acumen have elevated his corporation as a pillar of the SLYCE Alliance, and the Pilots of his Corporation are known for their valor, resilience, and unwavering commitment to the cause.

Under Hamund’s stewardship, The Exchange Collective has distinguished itself many times over, most notably during the defense of TXME-A against the gathered might of the Imperium, During that conflict, Hamund and the pilots assembled beneath his banner stood fast while facing off against nearly 400 Goon Titans.

Hamund and the forces of SLYCE fought until the assembled Goons withdrew from Deklein, slinking back to their home in Delve. The successful defense of TXME-A wasn’t just a victory; it was a statement of defiance against Goonswarm that would echo for decades to come.

Hamund's strength was also seen in the long march from Deklein to Etherium Reach that followed, a painful exodus that was fraught with peril and sacrifice. While many Corporations shed Pilots during this trying time, and even some Corporations abandoned the cause entirely and left the SLYCE Alliance, Hamund held true to his sworn oaths and his Fleets led the way to the Alliance's new home.

The epic migration from Deklein to Etherium Reach was not only a logistical feat, but a testament to the spirit and endurance of Hamund’s leadership. Hamund’s guidance during the exodus ensured that his Corporation remained cohesive and battle-ready throughout, a beacon of hope and determination amidst the worries of the day. Once the Fleet arrived in Etherium Reach, Hamund's forces rapidly established a new Industrial base of operations that stands strong and remains vibrantly productive to this very day in F9-FUV.

Hamund’s legacy is not defined merely by battles, epic migrations and establishing sovereignity in new territories. It is also rooted in the values of loyalty, honor, and camaraderie that he has instilled in The Exchange Collective. His leadership has fostered a culture where every pilot, from the greenest rookie to the most seasoned veteran is driven by a shared sense of purpose and pride.

Othar Hamund continues to shape the future of his corporation and contribute to SLYCE. His unwavering dedication to his allies and his indomitable spirit in the face of overwhelming odds have cemented his status as a respected and influential figure in New Eden.
