Founding
The Yulai Federation (YF) was created on December 9th 2010, in the midst of Providence Coalition attempts to reclaim their region from hostile occupation. Its ideology: universal NRDS. Others had since long taken up this rule of engagement, but often alongside other political considerations of equal import or even merely as a means to greater goals.

Reclaiming Providence
The rest of 2011 and the first half of 2012 saw YF assist in reclaiming more systems for the coalition, like during the the battle for H6-CX8.
Defending null-sec civilization
YF defensive gangs were now roaming the Southern pipe up to D-GTMI, keeping systems safe and allowing null-sec civilization to thrive. A second contingent operated from the Great Wildlands, where a strong NRDS presence kept hostiles at bay during those days.
Relocation
The second half of 2012 saw YF accept an offer to relocate to the other side of Providence and take up residence in the JEIV-E pocket and its adjacent pipe system, XHQ-7V. It was here that YF truly settled and grew into the alliance it is today…
