Year of 2016
On January 17th, 2016, Pragmatist was hacked. Most Sleet Clan members were exiled, causing the member count to drop to little over 1300, as opposed to the 60,000+ it had before. After getting the group back Prag had decided that he would quit ROBLOX, however it was difficult to come to a decision on who would lead next. Prag had given the group to Polymorphic, the Grand Admiral of The Roblox Assault Team.

Polymorphic's Era
During Polymorphic's era, he had introduced the Councilium government, a complex system where multiple members were placed in a Council that runs the group, each one responsible for specific affairs in the group. This government was created so that a defined leader may be chosen by themselves. This system looked good on paper, but had caused extreme unrest within Sleet Clan. Under this government the Councilium, similar to a tribunal, was able to vote each other out of the leadership rank and vote in members. This had caused power struggles among the members who had been in this rank. After several parties had attempted to seize power, the Councilium had come to a mutual decision that JJ71599 would be the best defined leader. JJ71599 is known for pleasing all parties, leading to him being the best choice. The Councilium elected him as the High Councilium on Feburary 26th, 2016. However, This did not mean that JJ71599 was given ownership of the group. The Councilium government was kept in place, which several parties continued to battle for the rank in the leadership core. A month later on March 26th, 2016, Polymorphic had finally transferred ownership to JJ71599.

JJ71599's Era
During JJ71599's era, the Councilium system was abolished and replaced with the Luminary system. This government had would have three Luminaries who was delegated responsibility for three specific affairs in the group. External Affairs led by Chrispykreme, Internal Affairs led by JamberPilot, and Development Affairs led by OwneD1991. These individuals would have Superiors under them, who were responsible for their own department. All governed by the Overlord. During this period, Sleet Clan had become extremely bureaucratic with an efficient government. However with no HR's to take care of the delegated tasks. The leadership was focused on reconstruction of a strong High Command. Several of the previous high ranks had left during the Councilium era due to the developed unrest.

The Dark Era
JJ71599 had come under fire by a team of hackers called the "OG Squad". JJ71599 had received threats and felt that the security of the group was at risk. For the best interest of the group, he had transferred ownership back to Polymorphic. Who would be the next leader was up in the air, and the two candidates had become JamberPilot and Chrispykreme. Both candidates had outspokenly explained their devotion to Sleet Clan, and both became stern on winning over the leadership. The leader was to be chosen on April 15th, 2016. JJ71599 had surprised everyone by announcing that he would return as leader. However, this had been a very short return.

On April 16th, 2016 near midnight, JJ1599 was hacked and Sleet Clan was compromised. Most Sleet Clan members were demoted, this has been the 3rd time Sleet Clan was hijacked. When Pragmatist had gotten word of the attack he had returned to help fix the situation. Prag had gotten the group back once more, and this time he would choose the leader instead of putting Sleet Clan into another dark age of using the Councilium system. Prag had formed a small committee which carefully examined the two previous candidates. For a few weeks, the two candidates had disputed the leadership with each other. Both candidates were titled under a duel leadership, where they were both leaders of the group holding the same title. This had caused more unrest as there was no defined leader to have definite decisions from. During the final interviews JamberPilot had admitted that he would drop out of the race for leadership so that unrest would not continue escalate from the partnered leadership. This had led to the candidate Chrispykreme to be the next Overlord of Sleet Clan.

Chrispykreme's Era
On May 1st, 2016 Chrispykreme was announced as the new Overlord. Destroyer97 had become the Luminary of External Affairs, JamberPilot remained in Internal Affairs, and OwneD1991 remained in Development Affairs. In the first month of Chrispykreme's era, he had pushed Sleet Clan to an exciting and active period. A lot of raids and defenses were won, and Sleet Clan had become populated with extremely skilled gunfighters. However, with these new members new social circles were forming. Some problems within the High Command started to develop.

The Luminary position for Development affairs was eventually abolished after it found to be an unnecessary position as it ruled one department, Technology, and OwneD1991 had become inactive in development duties. The department was moved to Internal Affairs. As External Affairs started to become a strong aide to Sleet Clan's overall integrity, disputes became relevant between Internal Affairs and External Affairs. External Affairs was booming with new members who were very skilled, but some of these members become a toxic representation of Sleet Clan. This toxic circle of individuals had centered them self as the community of Sleet Clan, and first attacked the Department of Community then the Department of Officer Efficiency. These individuals were outraged that these members held a position and did not participate in raids, which they deemed as the only beneficial events. They also attacked the bureaucratic government that was being ran, saying that several of the departments were 'useless' and called for an ungoverned community. As this toxic social circle pushed Sleet Clan toward becoming a war focused power clan, JamberPilot had become under attack due to his affiliation with creating and enforcing these bureaucratic systems. JamberPilot had retaliated and pushed back their attempts stating that Sleet Clan is not a group that is focused on war, but is focused on making their members happy and entertained. An internal battle was sparked between defending the integrity of Sleet Clan's departments and original goals from becoming a group focused on only war, which would lead to issues and unrest that would last several weeks.

These attacks had caused for JamberPilot to become overwhelmed with stressed, leading to him contemplating a resignation for weeks. The toxic members had called for the demotion of JamberPilot, and the community became torn as most of the community beloved Jamber. On June 10th, 2016 JamberPilot had decided that he would finally resign to relieve himself the stress. However, Chrispykreme had announced that he was contemplating demoting JamberPilot and that his resignation was false. This had infuriated Jamber after he had denounced him, leading him to leak information on updates Chris had made to Outpost Icarus regarding admin weapons and unfair advantages. Chrispy had blacklisted Jamber from Sleet Clan, attempting to silence the situation and stating that Jamber had made unauthorized updates. This had upset a lot of members knowing that their Overlord had lied to them. Several days later the toxic community that was involved with Safeguard and External Affairs had resigned with several other members. Jamber had returned during the next high command meeting to give a speech that had touched everyone. Chrispy had reconsidered and had given several reforms following the mess.

Chrispykreme had gave an executive decision to dissolve the Luminary System, finalizing the disputes between Internal Affairs and External Affairs. The Superiors became responsible for running themselves, while Chrispykreme consolidated the leadership power to himself. Destroyer97 was moved to Superior of Safeguard, a new department that would operate separate of Warfare but alongside Warfare. Chris had also granted Jamber a position back as a Superior. And with the leave of the old toxic members, the disputes had settled and Sleet Clan went through a new period that allowed for the community to revive.

Great events such as an organized civil war 'Emerald vs Ruby' was conducted after several months of planning. Alongside this a lot of new members had joined and now there is a community that is no longer hostile. Now, Sleet Clan announced that they are off to war with John's Cobras. The war intensified over the course of a few days, but after a scandal, the war was made void and resulted in a tie. Following the war, a civil war ensued, but the rebels, dissatisfied with Chrispykreme's behavior during the JC war, were disassembled, resulting in many demotions and exiles.

Things sailed smoothly until late August 2016 when Chrispykreme was involved in a major scandal, resulting in his resignation (https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=197018606). He wanted to give the group to his noble 2iC AscendingImmortal, but Ascending likewise decided to resign to focus on college. Once again, Pragmatist stepped in, indefinitely holding the group until he could find a competent owner. Upon JamberPilots's return, previous candidate for Overlord in April and a rebel during the civil war in late July, he quickly soared through the ranks. Proving himself worthy to Prag by helping him fix the broken valor system and his activity/loyalty, Jamber finally earned Overlord in mid-September 2016.

JamberPilot's Era
Commencing on September 16, JamberPilot began his era as Sleet Clan Overlord. Warning about the potential outcomes of a war against Arvorian Confederation, the war continued anyways late September. After an embarrassing margin of 12-1, SC surrendered.
