About

The Story of ELITE dates back to 2002 and is based on Friendship and Fun.

By 2002, many core members of ELITE belonged to the then well known Phoenix Battle Group (PHNX) and played the only game worth playing online - Star Trek Star Fleet Command 3. At the beginning of that year OSIRIS, future founder of ELITE joined PHNX and began recruiting members increasing the size of the Fleet to 100 gamers and for a time, it was the strongest and by far the biggest Star Fleet Command 3 clan out there.

With a lack of strong emphasis on forming lasting friendships, weakening leadership and increasing internal issues the strength of PHNX began to crumble. Quarrels began over the smallest issues and it seemed PHNX was doomed. Discussions began between OSIRIS and KAOS, leader of the Klingon faction within PHNX, about the possibility of starting a new fleet, based on friendship, trust and skill.

Named after one of the first space Sims ELITE was born in August 2002.

ELITE opened its doors to just a few invited members of PHNX, the best of the best, and quickly became the most sought after SFC3 clan to be part of. Remembering the difficulties of such a huge fleet, the leadership decided on an invite only policy.

Following the cyber death of Star Fleet Command 3, ELITE went on an epic adventure playing more than 25 Titles but nothing compared to SFC3. The Core members of ELITE stayed and we retained a skeleton crew of about 6 players.

The Battlefield Series and Star Trek Online have proved to be lasting and have helped bolster the clan once again, we now look on to the future.

ELITE has retained its founding ethos of Friendship and Fun, with various clan meetings having been held over the years in Holland and England and with our upcoming 10 year anniversary to be held in Ireland we hope to be around for the next decade.
