PNBC
For the guild that would be created in April 2024 as a successor to PNBC, see SKYE
The Protection Unit of NBC (Also known as the PNBC) was a Guild in Pixels World War created on June 2, 2022 and dissolved on January 8, 2024. Their goal was Protecting and Rebuilding the NBC logo (and making amogus all over the place). They also focus on Expansion. Since it's hard to make a pixelated current NBC logo, they decided to make their 1975 logo. They maintained bad relations with TURK and ATDF, and good relations with USOA, CRYO, and IMPR. It was originally known as the AZRE (May 31 - June 2, 2022) before the PNBC came about on June 2, 2022. Plans have been made to make an art installation beginning on June 20, 2022 clocking in at about 10,272 pixels (Led by PNBC). The name was based off the American broadcast network NBC.

Chapter 11: Hiatus and comeback
