Tensions between the earliest incarnation of a Ruby Alliance; RAWR and Robertdonald originated with the incidents surrounding Cranberry IV in late 2004, regarding Robertdonald and Ridestowe's aggressions against Trans-Atlantic Empire.[1] Robertdonald has already come into conflict with Silver Dawn during the blockade of Eta I, although it is debatable whether this was the start of the vendetta between the two factions, or merely a difference in playstyles causing a clash during colonisation.[2] A clash in the forums between Avasta of Silver Dawn and RobertDonald continued to widen the rift between the two sides and the blockade of Eta by the alt flag Silver Dusk.
