For seven generations, one New Eden family has dominated an incredible part of all that money can buy. From its Jita and 38IA-E banks, the alliances millions have been sent forth to ... business enterprises on four empires. Some of its stately dwellings are the kind of stations that mere San Simeons hoped to imitate. This ancient and unusual banking dynasty shields itself from the curious eye of the public, but the map and history of New Eden have been changed by its action and etched with its name: The Old Gaurd. Seldom unimaginative in the use of their money, The Old Gaurd ISK has powered the ambitions of majordeath. It has financed wars and reparations treaties, changed the course of politics and bailed out fleets and alliance. The Old Guard has strung wormholes across the galaxy, gained control of Griffin [and] carved diamond mines all over Fountain. The Old Gaurd[are still] the most important New Eden dealers.
