Xyekep joined Second Life in November of 2006 and after a month, found the Second Life military community through the Merczateers Tactical Forces, which at the time were located in Hjalmer.

Merczaters Armed Forces History
The Beginning (Hjalmer/CityNarik I/Kremlin)
Xyekep Richez started his military community with the Merczateers after stumbling across Hjalmer and was promptly recruited by then-Merczateers Kristian Kit. Within a few days both Xyekep and Kristian were promoted to S-3 (E4 by current standards), and in another week or so were promoted to S-2 and S-1 by recommendation of Lurdan Huszar, Stephmo Deckard, and the rest of the Supreme Command.
The Climax (TunnelNark/BeachNarik)
Upon reaching S-2, Xyekep joined the ranks of the combat-oriented Light Operations and served as an operative from late Hjalmer through the Tunnel phase of Badnarik fulfilling missions including temporarily "defecting" to the Alliance Navy and controlling Venuma.
Months later, Starshina Xyekep Richez joined the resistance of the Hand of Proteus led by [Proteus Hand] against General Merczateers Ethan Schuman. This coup d'etat lasted for roughly a month until the Hand of Proteus members were removed from the Merczateers for treason and Proteus Hand was publicly executed by Marshal Lurdan Huszar.
After a period of brief resolve (and the resignation of Ethan Schuman), the Hand of Proteus was given amnesty by the returned Proteus Hand. Xyekep was one of the first to reenlist as a Kapral (E4) but quickly earned his rank back to E6.
The same process was repeated with Alice Mirabeau and resulted in her resignation.
Final Months (RidgeNarik I/II)
In his final months in the Merczateers Xyekep Richez served as a Infrastructure Office working in both Training and Recruitment, as well as serving as the Leytenant Komdiv of Drill Team (defunct). Right before his resignation, then-GeneralTangent Eponym appointed Xyekep as the Trooper Overseer of the Merczateers. However, both Marshals later denied confirmation of this appointment. It was around this time that tensions arose between Xyekep and the Kommisariat of the Merczateers until a breaking point forced Xyekep to resign. His resignation was dishonorable, insulting to the Kommisariat, and resulted in his KOS status for 8 months. This marked the final time Xyekep would consider himself a Merczateer.
The Fabled of Arkhein
After his leave from the Merczateers, Xyekep found himself taking an offer of enlistment in the Fabled of Arkhein, a space-viking themed military with no ranking system. Founded by his close friends Proteus Hand and Razor Hokkigai, Xyekep sought to improve the military. With help from Jeremy Duport, Avil Creggan, and Darakon Kayvon, Arkhein found life for several months. At one point in time Arkhein held two void sims (not adjacent) but eventually lost both due to lack of funding. Near the collapse of Arkhein Proteus Hand resigned from the Fabled of Arkhein leaving First In Command to Xyekep. Within hours the closing of Arkhein was announced and the base was allocated to Avil Creggan's Deli for several days.
