Squad History
Slipshod Research & Mining (SRM) was founded by Rat and Mouse in the early days of Allegiance. Once a highly skilled squad, SRM slowly declined, and eventually retired from Allegiance a few weeks after Microsoft ended support to the game, remaining a good bunch of friends playing other games together. After the source code release, the interest that brought back so many also hit SRM, and _SRM_Petit_Mort was able to revive the interest of part of his squad. After recruiting and training many new recruits, SRM was able to get back on its feet. In the Fall of 2005, _SRM_KLM took control of SRM and the squad continued to improve. The time of greatest improvement for SRM was seen when _SRM_Strike700 took control in the Spring of 2006. The squad grew to its largest size and started to pose a threat in squad games. Due to an internal conflict, the squad's leadership decided to leave in April of 2007. _SRM_Xason was the only leader to stay with the squad, and he commands it to this day. SRM is the only squad to maintain a full time "Meds Officer".
Current status
Following the decline, SRM was and sometimes still is classified as a group of enthusiastic voobs who don't pose a threat in squad games. However, with active recruitment and training, they have slowly refilled there ranks over the past year. SRM's enthusiastic members have won recent victories against BS, RT, SF, and finally ACE through intensely competitive matches. To go along with their growing talent, they were also the winners of the Squad Doubles Tournament with Palidor's Knights as their partner.
SRM is often described as "easygoing". The enthusiasm and dedication of it's members have heralded in a golden age in which competition and victory comes second to enjoyment of the game.
The "_SRM_" Moniker
Older SRM players are often seen with the moniker "_SRM_" attached to the front of their callsign. This was kept post source code release in tradition with the AZ style callsigns. Because of a Senate resolution in 2004, newer SRM members no longer follow this tradition.
