EvE Online: The short lived giant that was DRF

About a year ago something odd happened in EvE Online, a new coalition was formed.
Nothing odd there, it was called the Drone Russian Federation/Forces.

It comprised of all the Russian alliances in the drone regions and in a ridiculous short time they became the power house in EvE.

Just a few months after its creation it invaded Northern Coalition territory and wiped out one of the oldest power blocks from the face of EvE.

By September of 2011,their power seemed so great that they took on non-Russian pets and confine them to small constellations doing grinding work for them.

Despite my warnings my corp mates left Providence and headed out to the Drone Lands, I have no idea what became of them as heated argument and misunderstandings let to bitter rows and insults, forcing me to leave all the com channels I still shared with them.

Off course the DRF was showing cracks already back then, and the entire concept fail cascaded soon afterwards.

So what are the biggest legacies of the DRF, well for instance the low mineral prices during 2011 the disappearance of the NC.

Other blocks will form in the future but this one for a moment felt like the Russians were going to win EvE.
