Meet Malcolm Galora

Thirteen years in New Eden, one very good year in TNF: 814 kills, a first industry project, a famous ice find and a meme the whole corp still quotes.

Before TNF

Malcolm Galora has been in New Eden since May 2013. The record opens in the Center for Advanced Studies, a starter school, with a short stop in the Federal Defense Union before the first player corp, Briscoe and Boris Enterprises, later that month. Malcolm returned to Briscoe and Boris in 2014 and then joined Caulks Hole Enterprises that October.

The next entry is 2021, with a move into Not A Sponsor. From 2024 the pace picks up: Hyper Meme Industries, Fusion Enterprises Ltd (more than once), a return to Not A Sponsor, Doomsday Directive in mid 2025, and finally Industrial Mining and Mayhem HS in September 2025, with the Center for Advanced Studies as the home between moves.

Joining TNF

Malcolm first flew with TNF in November 2025, arriving through The Newb Federation and moving into The New Federation itself in January 2026. Motty 007 asked everyone to “make him feel at home,” explaining the move as “we are so much of a better corp,” and Marri02 offered a welcome of a different kind (New arrivals: autumn 2025).

On 28 September 2026 Malcolm dropped a one-liner into corp chat, the line at the top of this page, and the reactions came quickly. The newsroom gave it a full story, A Year in Sigma: Malcolm Galora’s Krab-Powered Anniversary, because the year deserved one.

"my 1 year anniversary in sigma was yesterday"

A year of firsts

  • February 2026: “baby’s first industry endeavor,” with a plan for a library of T1 modules
  • February 2026: an ice find that earned “Ice Malcolm! Congrats” from Lex Ashwari-Thrace
  • Spring 2026: fending off a persistent interceptor with drones: “he eventually gave up, drones are a hell of a thing”
  • September 2026: the sole TNF name on a Fortizar kill worth about 22 billion ISK
  • September 2026: one of the most popular posts in the memes channel, “When the tnfed krab parasite takes hold” (Salt, Memes and Time Appropriate Greetings)

In the fleet

Malcolm has 814 kills on the TNF record, 566 of them in 2026, on mails worth more than 1.2 trillion ISK combined. The biggest are two Keepstars: one on 6 November 2025, about 193 billion ISK, and another on 13 January 2026, about 255 billion. Fortizars feature heavily, from October 2025 through January 2026 to that September solo name on the mail.

Capitals too: Zirnitras in January and June 2026, Phoenix Navy Issues in June and August 2026, and an Apostle force auxiliary in September 2026. Two solo kills sit on the record as well.

By the numbers

Since October 2025, battleships are the most common victim (128), with combat battlecruisers (121) and cruisers (92) close behind. The Maelstrom is the single most frequent hull at 70, followed by Cyclone Fleet Issues (39) and Rokhs (24). Twenty Mercenary Dens are on the list too. Milestones: 100 and 500 kills, and 16 Academy answers right with a best streak of three.

Where they shine

Malcolm shares planetary industry templates freely and admits the favourites are the “nice and lazy” ones (Builders and Miners). Cheap repair ships went into a shared hangar for anyone running PvE.

And the first reply to that anniversary post came from Ardagan Fatal, whose questions about clones Malcolm was answering the next day. A year in, Malcolm is the one doing the welcoming.
