Lately, there seems to be some confusion about who is and who isn’t a member of the HMA. This is an important question because as a NPSI (Not Purple Shoot It) mining/ganking community we regularly attack or otherwise hinder those outside of our organization. Not to get to Zen about it, but you become a […]
Let’s get straight to the point… structures are an expensive pain in the ass. And yet, they are an essential infrastructure element for many groups. They offer freedom, flexibility, and (at sufficient scale) cost savings. So, what is a small corp that wants the benefits of structure ownership without the upkeep to do? Why, they […]
People often express misunderstanding about the nature of the HMA. While everything you need to know about us can be found in the pages of this blog, who in our busy day and age has time to read multiple blog posts. So, here is a brief summary of what we are and what we do. […]
It is with a heavy heart that I announce that after two long years the HMA Flagship was finally the target of a dedicated strike team of gankers. On 2023.04.25, a combined team of Train Wreck. and Safety Set To Red pilots targeted me for destruction. While stepping away to attend to other duties they […]
Boy does time fly when you have the attention span of a cocaine-fueled housefly, as it seems I’ve missed yet another anniversary.

As before, there will be prizes for participants who bag themselves some gankers. So bring your mining ships, your gun […]
The most significant obstacle for the HMA has always been getting people to participate. I don’t necessarily mean getting people to join our fleets although that can sometimes be a challenge. What I am referring to is getting people involved and engaged in furthering the growth of our friendly neighborhood cartel. Over the past two […]
Honoring our love of both puns and violence, the HMA is proud to announce that we are no longer performing sanctions of unregulated miners. We will now be performing Hull Integrity Tests, or HITs, to ensure that those mining in and around Hek are doing so safely and responsibly. Although nothing is changing policy-wise, framing […]
The HMA prides itself on being an inclusive community. Everyone is welcome to take part in our fleets as long as they are willing to abide by our rules. So, what do we do with folks who either fail to abide by our rules or refuse to join our fleets? Well, whatever you want to. […]
Oye, m’beltas! If you’re not familiar, The Expanse is a book and TV series chronicling the adventures of the crew of the Rocinante as they navigate the perils of a war-torn solar system. Throughout, one of main drivers of the plot is the oppression of those who live and work in the asteroid belts. When […]
