Before TNF

xXchochiXx has been in New Eden since December 2010, and the corp history reads like a tour of the game. He started in the Federal Navy Academy, the Gallente starter corp, and within days was in Comrades Eternal. The early years, 2011 to 2013, were restless: Nordic Innovations, Pinnacle Incorporated, Lightning Squad, Sky Fighters, The Fall From Grace, Holy Amarrian Battlemonk and Horizon Military Group, with frequent stops in Aliastra, the NPC corp he used as a home between moves, and a spell in the Federal Defense Union militia corp.

Things settled after that. Oberon Incorporated was home from early 2013 to late 2014, followed by Twenty Questions. In 2015 came the first of several stays in Pandemic Horde Inc., then Hounds Of Haides and AlcoDOTTE. From late 2016 one name keeps coming back: Brand Newbros, which he returned to again and again through 2019 and once more in 2022. In between sit Out of Focus (2020 to 2021), Unknown Activation, Misfits of the Unknown, TEMPLAR. and, from June 2024, Industrial Mining and Mayhem. All told, the record holds 94 entries before the last one: The New Federation.

Joining TNF

He first flew with TNF in February 2026, and the welcome was immediate. Kloria greeted him with “NOW HE’S HERE!” Tamanade added a “welcome!”, as he did for nearly every new arrival that season. xXchochiXx’s reply was a fair warning: he “may have some sheep following me”.

It was not a joke. Days later Odysemus welcomed Janwaar back to Sigma Grindset “with xXchochiXx’s encouragement”. In September 2026 Silvermen Orti joined on the recommendation of chochi and Janwaar, which, as Welcome to the Salt Mines put it, is how a lot of TNF members arrive: someone already in the family vouches for a friend. The same week Meowlicious came back, and chochi’s welcome gave away the persistence behind it: “Yes man welcome back, only asked like 15 times if your coming back.”

In the fleet

The killboard got busy quickly. Within days of joining he was on the killmail for a Keepstar on 10 February 2026, about 223 billion ISK, alongside AexisKae, Kloria and Lex Ashwari-Thrace. Eight days later came another Keepstar, about 216 billion ISK, shared with Aralo Meza, Frost Ikkala and Kloria.

The record also holds a Keepstar worth about 193 billion ISK in November 2025, a Minokawa force auxiliary in October 2025, and a Zirnitra dreadnought in January 2026 alongside Adama Kanjus, Harrat and Phoebe Prime.

The headline came on 25 April 2026: an Avatar titan, about 142 billion ISK and the kill of the month in Kills of the quarter: April to June 2026, with Emperor Caligula, Frost Ikkala, Motty 007, Tamanade and others. The same day he was on a Naglfar dreadnought, and in September 2026 an Apostle force auxiliary.

By the numbers

• 948 kills on the TNF record, crossing both the 100 and 500 kill marks
• 569 of them in 2026 on the detailed record
• On kills worth more than 1.3 trillion ISK combined
• 12 solo kills
• 44 ship classes destroyed

On the detailed record since October 2025, cruisers are the most common target (118), followed by capsules (103) and battleships (84). The Maelstrom is the hull he meets most often: 45 of them. Combat battlecruisers, heavy assault cruisers and interdictors all appear in numbers, and so do the small, fast things: 18 Flycatchers, 17 Confessors and 21 interceptors.

Where he shines

Recruiting by friendship, mostly. But xXchochiXx is also a quiet part of the corp’s industry. In August 2026 he chased down pyerite for a build and offered spare components to corpmates at a friendly price, the sort of thing that quietly saves a dozen people a dozen market trips. In September he celebrated a long-awaited planetary industry sale with a line that made it into Inside the TNF Industry Machine: “been so long since i had double digits in billion.” The corp celebrated with him (Builders and Miners).

After Fanfest 2026 he was one of those already planning for 2027.

The sheep, for the record, have been very welcome.
