Judas Aralius

Before TNF

Judas Aralius has been in New Eden since September 2009. The early years were spent in and around the Caldari NPC corporations: the Science and Trade Institute, a starter corp, then Mineral Extraction and Recovery and Caldari Provisions, which became the home port Judas returned to between player corps for most of the next decade.

The first player corp was THORN Syndicate in the summer of 2010. From there the history runs through a long list of names: The Program and Angels and Devils in 2011, Friends with no benefits and the 24th Imperial Crusade in 2012, Dissident Aggressors into 2013, then Trojan Trolls, Aviator Glasses Badasses and Hit Squad 420 in 2014. Ceptacemia followed in 2015, and in October 2016 Judas joined MASS A DEATH, staying until May 2018.

After a long stretch back in Caldari Provisions, the recent chapter began in 2024 with Nomad Collective. In September 2025 Judas joined Imperium Cartel., then Into the Ether in October, and at the end of 2025 hotdropoclock Enterprises, the corp that sent both Judas and Trajon Thrax to TNF.

Joining TNF

Judas first flew with TNF in March 2026, arriving within days of Trajon. Odysemus described the two as pilots who wanted “a community that provides an active presence in the alliance while maintaining strong community bonds” (Word Gets Around).

Judas went hunting immediately. By 1 April, after barely ten days in the corp, Kloria was congratulating Judas and Lex Ashwari-Thrace “for crushing the kill contest this month!” That post drew 17 reactions. A week later, during the record-breaking battle that April, Motty 007 offered a one-line review: “Im not kidding Judas, friggin awesome.” (Oh Yeah, I Was There).

The edger who deflects

Faces of TNF: The Veteran, the Quartermaster and the Edger noticed a pattern: the credit always goes somewhere else. When corpmates praised Judas for pushing TNF up the alliance kill chart in April 2026, the answer was the line at the top of this page. Other months, the same reflex: “Lex was the killer supreme this month.” “Look at all that TNFED supremacy! Good work this month everyone!” And when Lex was made a Director, Judas used the moment to admire the board instead: “Corp pvp looking real nice right now. Way to flex TNFED.”

The killmails disagree with the modesty.

In the fleet

The big nights started early. On 28 March 2026, six days after joining, Judas was on a Valravn lancer dreadnought worth about 10.8 billion ISK. On 14 April came a hostile structure worth about 181 billion ISK, with Judas the only TNF name listed against it in Kills of the Quarter: April to June 2026, plus a smaller one worth about 16 billion the same day. On 28 April he shared another, worth about 180 billion ISK, with four other TNF pilots. In June he was on a Zirnitra worth about 11.3 billion.

September 2026 was the month the record went supercapital. On 15 September, a hostile structure worth about 22 billion ISK. On 19 September, a Wyvern supercarrier worth about 63 billion. And on 27 September, within the same day, a Sarathiel dreadnought worth about 52 billion and an Avatar titan worth about 142.7 billion ISK, September’s kill of the month in Kills of the Quarter: July to September 2026, shared with oli Padecain and Xander Ryn.

By the numbers

In 209 days Judas has put 5,483 kills on the TNF record, on kills worth more than 2.1 trillion ISK combined. Two of them were solo, which fits a pilot who keeps insisting it was a team effort.

The detailed record, which begins in October 2025, holds 5,377 kills, 5,290 of them in 2026. The victim list is broad: cruisers (832), combat battlecruisers (766) and battleships (745) lead, with 336 assault frigates, 228 interdictors, 203 heavy assault cruisers and 127 logistics cruisers behind them. By hull, the Maelstrom (290), Retribution (268) and Ferox (259) are the most frequent, then the Vexor (154), Drake Navy Issue (114) and Raven (107). Another 496 pods finish the list. Leadership’s own count puts the number of ship classes destroyed at 60.

Milestones

• First flew with TNF in March 2026
• 100, 500, 1,000 and 5,000 kills on the TNF record, all inside seven months
• Shared the kill contest win with Lex Ashwari-Thrace in March 2026
• On September 2026’s kill of the month, an Avatar titan

Where they shine

The numbers say battleships and battlecruisers: 745 battleships and 766 combat battlecruisers on the detailed record, more than 1,500 heavy hulls between them. The words say welcome. When Ardagan Fatal arrived in September 2026, Judas’s greeting was short and accurate: “welcome to the nut house.”
