Yesterday it was announced that the alliance Get Off My Lawn, more commonly known by its alliance ticker or LAWN, had been asked to leave the Imperium.

LAWN DOTLAN Stats – Jan 19, 2026

Imperium leader Asher Elias pinged the following out to the coalition regarding the separation.

Today we are announcing that Lawn has been asked to leave the Imperium. They have been allies with us for 14 years so we did not take this decision lightly, but in recent times it has become clear that there are cultural differences between Lawn and the Imperium. We have no ill will to them and wish them all the best. They will have two weeks to leave Imperium space, any supers they are building will be given rights to leave freely so that no member is hurt.

We don’t expect any drama on the way out but you know how individuals can give a group a bad name so if you see any person mouthing off in local or online just be the bigger person and ignore them. We wish all of them well on their next adventures in Eve Online.

The departure seems… well, if is hard to say “amicable” when you’ve been asked to go, but at least it is not overtly hostile.

As noted in the post, LAWN has been around since the founding of The Imperium back in April 2014 (timeline here) and was one of the alliances that did not leave the coalition after our defeat in the Casino War.

The Imperium in the North – Jan 15, 2016

Stuck out at the far eastern end of the coalition in Vale of the Silent, LAWN stayed with us even when Circle of Two, closer to the core of the coalition, betrayed us because they felt their territory wasn’t being defended. Nobody’s territory ended up being defensible and the entirety of the Imperium fell back to the Quafe Warehouse station in Saranen

During one of the attempts to push back into our old space LAWN succeeded in taking a constellation in Cloud Ring.

But no return was going to happen.

When we admitted defeat and began the retreat south LAWN went with us and ended up holding a constellation in Delve once we were established there.

That constellation, like all of Imperium space outside of the O-EIMK constellation, fell to the PAPI onslaught. LAWN stuck with the Imperium again and was with us when PAPI retreated and we drove Legacy Coalition, the instigators of the war, out of their space.

They joined in on the move to the east and ended up in holding the R-CL2W constellation when the coalition finished its second move and setup its front line against PanFam in Insmother.

And, of course, they were there for the downfall of PanFam. I think. They’re a small group, so their participation tends to get subsumed into the mix.

Always a smaller alliance in the coalition, they had putting up recruiting posts on r/evejobs looking to expand their membership over the last year or so. How successful that has been I am not sure, but they did not end up getting any of the corps fleeing Pandemic Horde.

Where they will head after leaving the Imperium remains to be seen.
