'''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]].

*The [[Dangerous Games]] dominated headlines earlier this year, as some of galaxy's most powerful minor factions took part in a brutal battle for supremacy. After weeks of fierce competition involving hundreds of independent pilots, it was the [[EG Pilots]] who emerged victorious. Having spent the intervening months consolidating their assets, the EG Pilots are now ready to enter the galactic stage. Consequently, the temporary restriction on preparatory activity in systems within 30 light years of the [[Clayakarma]], Nauo, Gyhldekala, Boga and Kpaniya systems – imposed by the United Research Council partly to allow the EG Pilots an opportunity to secure their position – has now been lifted. Like all powers, the organisation will seek the support of the galaxy's independent pilots, who will play a central role in its fate. Very little is known about the group's leader, Yuri Grom, although he is understood to have started his career in the [[Federal Navy]], reaching the rank of Admiral before parting with the [[Federation]] and entering politics. Following a brief conflict in the [[Euryale]] system, in which Grom clashed with his former Federal allies, the ex-admiral emerged as the leader of his own [[independent]] power. Propaganda distributed by the EG Pilots offers a succinct description of Grom: "Yuri is idolized by his supporters and respected throughout his controlled systems. His support among the populace is absolute, his dominion unshakable." One thing is for sure – Grom's career, and the future of the EG Pilots, promises to be anything but boring.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5811d0f29657badc4b76ebaa GalNet: Yuri Grom Takes the Stage]</ref> | *The [[Dangerous Games]] dominated headlines earlier this year, as some of galaxy's most powerful minor factions took part in a brutal battle for supremacy.
