Before TNF

PalmarSiamang53 has been in New Eden since October 2020, starting in the Republic Military School, a Minmatar NPC starter corp that would serve as his between-corp home many times over. His first player corp was DisorderlyConduct in late 2021, and he went back to it in 2022.

The years that followed were busy ones. He kept coming back to his own outfit, Palmar Industrial Services, in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and in between tried a long list of corps: Imperium Cartel., Null-N-Void (twice), Tredecim., Holey Amarrian Inquisition, Dangerous Enterprises, Sensible People and Backyard Mining Co. in 2023, The W.O.L.F and Pandemic Horde Inc. in 2024, then Incense and Iron and Industrial Mining and Mayhem in 2025.

Joining TNF

He first flew with TNF in February 2026, joining alongside a returning xXchochiXx, and Odysemus welcomed him with a public apology for being late with the post. The verdict came within days: “Only a few days in, and already had more fun here than I was having there.” The same message carried a complaint: less money-making, and Palmar blamed SadisticSloth for that (Word Gets Around).

His recruiting plan, offered the same week, was ambitious: “Just absorb the entirety of sigma into tnfed.”

"Only a few days in, and already had more fun here than I was having there."

In the fleet

April 2026 was the big month. On 25 April he was on the Avatar titan worth about 142 billion ISK that became kill of the month, alongside Aidon Star, Emperor Caligula, Frost Ikkala, Motty 007, Tamanade and xXchochiXx. The same day he shared a Revelation Navy Issue dreadnought. Three days later he was on a Keepstar worth about 180 billion ISK, the most valuable mail on his record (Kills of the quarter: April to June 2026).

His record also reaches back to December 2025, before he joined: two Minokawa force auxiliaries and a Phoenix dreadnought on 12 December, then on 13 December a Nidhoggur carrier and four Rorquals (one, two, three, four).

During the record-breaking battle in April, Palmar was teaching a friend to play EVE over the phone while waiting for the server to catch up.

By the numbers

220 kills on the record, on kills worth more than 488 billion ISK combined. On the detailed record since December 2025, battleships are the top victim class (45), and the Rokh is the hull he meets most, 35 times. Heavy assault cruisers come next (34), with the Zealot alone accounting for 25. Logistics ships (12), dreadnoughts (6), carriers (5) and command ships (5) all appear. His philosophy, in four words: “Cheap + own alot = fun.”

Where they shine

Faces of TNF: Kittens, Kings and Icelandic Meistarar knows him as the corp’s video editor and production nerd, and as one of the liveliest voices in corp chat. He edits video, showing off raw versus graded clips in April 2026, his first time working in 4K, and describes himself as “a lowly production nerd”. He also shoots screenshots for the TNF gallery.

During Fanfest 2026 he was the one watching the stream back home, spotting TNF in the crowd and the things only a production nerd would notice, and he suggested a TNF merch store with corp in-jokes on it during the coaster frenzy (TNF Does Fanfest 2026).

He is also the corp’s loophole spotter. When Lex Ashwari-Thrace became a Director, it took Palmar minutes to find the angle: “Wait, we can harass Lex for everything now?” And when Harrat’s September 2026 welcome described the job as herding heavily armed idiots, Palmar asked, honestly, whether that was really how it was supposed to work (Welcome to the Salt Mines).
