Tamanade

Before TNF

Tamanade has been in New Eden since October 2017. He started in the State War Academy and passed briefly through Quantum Star Conglomerate before a long era based out of Perkone, the NPC corp he returned to between player corps again and again. Through 2018 and 2019 the record moves fast: Shadow Incursion, Pandemic Horde Inc. in the spring of 2018, SwEaTy ArMpIT RaIDeRs, Cloak and Daggers, Venom., THE AESIR., Great White Hunters and Legacy of Blackrise among them.

The one name that keeps coming back is THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS. He first joined in June 2018 and returned to it more than half a dozen times over the next five years, with the State War Academy as his between-corps home from 2021. Later years brought Brave Newbies Inc., The Regency, Therapy., Project Omega Industries, The BadAzz Elite Corporation and Carebears -With- Guns.

Joining TNF

Tamanade first flew with TNF in November 2025. His own arrival was low-key: Kloria tagged him, Odysemus said “Welcome!”, Xander Ryn said “Welcome aboard!”, and Tamanade answered each with a cheerful “thanks 🙂” (New arrivals: autumn 2025).

The official unofficial greeter

What happened next became a TNF tradition. From that point on, almost every new pilot found a Tamanade welcome waiting. Adama Kanjus got “welcome to the mad house ! 😁” within hours. oli Padecain got “welcome !!”, with Tamanade first in line. xXchochiXx, Meowlicious and Silvermen Orti got the full treatment in September 2026, and Ardagan Fatal got the deluxe version: “welcome to the madhouse !! :))”

Faces of TNF: Six Pilots Who Make the Corp Tick calls Tamanade the welcome committee, and nobody has argued.

In the fleet

Tamanade is no mascot. In under a year he has 1,322 kills on the TNF record, on kills worth more than 1.1 trillion ISK combined.

He was on both titan kills of the month. On 13 December 2025 it was an Avatar worth about 181 billion ISK, the same day as a Hel supercarrier and two Rorqual capital industrials (one, two). On 25 April 2026 came a second Avatar, about 142 billion ISK, days after a Sotiyo worth about 99 billion and a Fortizar. Structures feature too: an Azbel in December 2025 and a Tatara in January 2026. In August 2026 he was on a Phoenix Navy Issue dreadnought worth about 9.6 billion ISK.

By the numbers

On the detailed record since November 2025, battleships are the favourite victim: 167 of them, with the Abaddon (60) and Rokh (33) leading the hulls. Behind them come 141 combat battlecruisers, 131 cruisers and 69 capsules. He has also helped down 64 light fighters, 34 of them Gram I, 32 interdictors, 26 command ships and 24 logistics cruisers. The detailed record shows 213 kills in late 2025 and 775 so far in 2026.

Milestones

• First flew with TNF in November 2025

Where he shines

The welcome channel and the killmail both. When even Tamanade has a week too busy for EVE, the request is still in character: “Can someone tell bombeldo the wizard to magic me some eve time please !”
