History

Alkaid Island was originally located on the Hunter Ocean. A rock in the northwest corner of the island reads, "This island were fashioned by Sseth."

Alkaid Island is named for the star Alkaid (Eta Ursa Majoris) in the Constellation Ursa Major.

Blockades (Hunter)

Alkaid I, 2007-03-10: Beyond the veil beat The Black Pearl after losing the first round to win in a four-round sinking blockade for the right to colonize Alkaid.

Alkaid II, 2007-03-17: Beyond the veil defeated The Black Pearl again in three rounds to defend Alkaid.

Alkaid III, 2007-03-24: Beyond the veil defended Alkaid for the second week in a row, beating The Eye in a three-round non-sinker. This was also The Eye's first defeat in a blockade.

Alkaid IV, 2007-06-03: Beyond the veil won the first and only round of this non-sinking blockade to defend Alkaid. Due to apparently being unprepared for a defence against potential attacker This End Up, a pre-blockade arrangement between Beyond the veil and contender Requited Desires was made. This forced an Ocean Master to terminate the blockade during Round 2.

Alkaid V, 2007-07-21: Beyond the veil defeated The Enlightened in a five-round, 15 strength sinking blockade. During Round 5, the strength of the Brigand King was increased from zero to 1.

Alkaid VI, 2007-07-28: Beyond the veil defeated The Black Pearl again in a three-round sinking blockade. This blockade gave Alkaid the distinction of being the first island on Hunter to be blockaded six times.

Alkaid VII, 2007-09-30: Another defence of Alkaid by Beyond the veil, defeating a strength 12 The Enlightened (Vargas the Mad) in 4 rounds.

Alkaid VIII, 2007-10-13: Beyond the veil defeated The Eye in a four-round sinking blockade. This was an extremely important blockade as it triggered the demise a seemingly unstoppable flag of The Eye in the following weeks.

Alkaid IX, 2007-12-01: Beyond the veil defeated a 7 strength Black Veil in a five-round sinking blockade.

Alkaid X, 2008-01-26: Beyond the veil defeated a 10 strength Fleet of his Imperial Scaled Highness in a three-round sinking blockade.

Alkaid XI, 2008-03-08: Beyond the veil successfully defends against Castigo X in a four-round non-sinking blockade. Coerced Coexistence defended on behalf of Beyond the veil.

Alkaid XII, 2008-03-22: Beyond the veil defended against Incognito in a three-round sinking blockade.

Alkaid XIII, 2008-05-18: Access Denied successfully defended against Fleet of his Imperial Scaled Highness in a four-round sinking blockade.

Alkaid XVIII, 2010-02-27: Seas the Day successfully defended against Bad Company in a 3 round sinking blockade.

Alkaid XIX, 2010-03-20: Seas the Day lost to Bad Company in a 3 round blockade, Seas the Day did not defend.

Alkaid XX, 2009-04-10: The All-Consuming Flame defeated Bad Company in a 3 round sinking blockade. Bad Company did not defend.

Alkaid XXI, 2010-04-18: Natural Disaster defeated The All-Consuming Flame (11 strength) in a 3 round sinking blockade.

Alkaid XXII, 2010-07-31: Wasted defeated Natural Distaster in a 3 round blockade. Natural Disaster did not defend. Poets and Pirates dropped out in the 2nd round.

Alkaid XXIII, 2010-08-22: Clandestine defeated Wasted in a 3 round sinking blockade. Wasted dropped out in the 1st round.
