'''Yuri Grom''' is the self-proclaimed Dictator of the EG Pilots, an independent faction based out of [[Euryale]] that formed from breakaway elements of the [[Federation]]. Grom led the EG Pilots, then only a [[Player Minor Faction|minor faction]], to victory in the Dangerous Games of 3302, establishing himself as a major [[Power]] on the galactic stage. | '''Yuri Grom''' is the self-proclaimed Dictator of the [[EG Pilots]], an independent faction based out of [[Euryale]] that formed from breakaway elements of the [[Federation]].

Grom began his rise to prominence as an admiral in the [[Federal Navy]], but retired after becoming disillusioned with the pervasive corruption with the Federation. His departure had coattails, as a number of Federal pilots fiercely loyal to him also resigned and helped him create the EG Pilots. As a result, many within Federation leadership continue to disparage him as a traitor. | Grom began his rise to prominence as an admiral in the [[Federal Navy]], but retired after becoming disillusioned with the pervasive corruption with the Federation.
