I have been doing some more research into our past - specifically our founder Viren, and have discovered some interesting things...
The first Khan site was hosted at 24.5.27.99/khans/ , and it appears from purusing all the files available at 24.5.27.99, that this was Viren's personal server.
The server went online circa 1999, and was used by a group known as The Legion or The Silver Legion, to play a game called Myth II, and total conversions of that game called Operation Shade. IT was a tactical RTS - hence the natural move to Fallout Tactics later.
The IP 24.5.27.99 is located as a "San Rafael" or "Greenbrae" California listing.
I found the following interesting pages/images.
From 1999
Operation Shade is the total conversion of Myth II by "Silver Legion" There are signature elements confirm Viren made this image.
And the kicker... the oldest version of 24.5.27.99 that can be found in online archives only says one uncoded phrase
I don't know that any of this means anything. But subtle links to "The Legion" and perhaps a secret "Corporation" know as Janus Operations behind the creation of The Khans (Maybe a social experiment? Hah!) is good historical and cultural rhetoric to be aware of.
