As a fledgling cap builder you have my support chribba. I'd come out and help, but being in TEST I'm sure I'd be shot on sight if I actually made it there, as unlikely as that would be. Everyone else, save his system and slaughter the attackers. Friendship is magic Chribba, and you're a friend to all in EVE. |

Disclaimer: The following is how I remember it going down. Some finer details may be mistaken.
The defence started up with a few people joining Chribba's usually rather empty Holy Veldspar channel on EvE - we found Chribba talking in there explaining how he was unsure about the sov system and what he could do to defend it. We told him about destroying the SBUs but he was quite adamant that he wished to remain entirely neutral and did not want to appear on any killmails.
We decided to go ahead and begin forming up a fleet - adding people who X'd up in the Holy Veldspar channel as well as squad commanders bringing in members of their own corps and alliances. The fleet began growing and was soon at around 40 people.
Knowing that there was a potential for being attacked we decided that the best cost to damage would be to bring stealth bombers, and people from all over the galaxy began heading towards Esa. Some people were coming from 30+ jumps away, stopping by the various trade hubs to tool up etc so it took a while for people to form up.
At the same time we had a corp staging to bring in a fleet of 9 dreadnaughts, until we found out that the system was cynojammed and we would not be able to get them in without opening it up for a much larger hostile hot-drop looking for opportunistic kills. We were considering going in using black-ops jump portals but this idea was thrown out when we discovered that the black ops pilots would need to travel 30 jumps to pick up their widows.
Instead, and as the defence fleet already had scouts moving into the Esa to 9UY pipe and all was reported clear I decided to lead the first squad of approximately a dozen bombers through into null and apart from a couple of anchored bubbles we got there and began to engage the SBU on the ZQ gate.
After a while of firing torpedos into the side of it we were engaged by a lone en-garde bomber, which successfully managed to take out a couple of people before the fleet's slow-ass torpedos managed to pop it and remove it from the equation. The support fire kept up until 3 dramiels jumped the gate and started jumping between safe spots, although not engaging to begin with.
By this time we had another group ready in ESA and Xyloplax lead them down the pipe. They joined us on the ZQ gate and its shields started going down significantly quicker.
Just as we had the SBU into armour the bomber fleet was engaged by a group of about half a dozen Occupational Hazard vagabonds which all warped onto the grid at once. At this point the FCs called to scatter and people hit their cloaks and made for random celestials as OH aligned towards the gate from their ~180km warp in.
At this point I fell out of the loop for a few minutes due to my EvE clients locking up as soon as the engagement started. I lost my main but managed to get my other SB to safety which I used to scout for the rest of the op.
When I got back in to find myself in a pod, most people had made their way towards Chribba's station which was now being camped by various vagabonds and other similar nasties.
While this was all going on we had a separate EvE University fleet making their way in from various parts of the galaxy and around this time they punched their way through to 9UY bringing in what looked to be a mixed BS / BC fleet. There was lots of excitement as local spiked to about 150 as they jumped in and gave warnings to the hostiles that they were there to defend the system, and that they would fire upon anyone who attempted to prevent them from doing so.
The IVY fleet tore through one of the SBUs with relative ease and was ready to move on when local spiked even higher with a large NCDOT fleet entering followed shortly after by another large fleet, which I can't remember, who then proceeded to knock seven bells out of each other.
After a knock down the other fleet left, leaving NCDOT who apparently then went chasing after IVY - leaving a few people behind who kept the rather flimsy SB fleet locked down in station with a combination of interdictor bubbles and HICs.
A few bombers did manage to get out at various points, and engaged in some bombing runs, although the damage only seemed to be minimal but most of the remaining NC. jumped out except for a few tacklers on the gates which we were lining bombing runs up against with what we could scrap together.
The original defence fleet was having a bit of a logistical issue as the 9UY station was somewhat lacking in supplies, and it was a scramble to buy bombs, torpedoes and replacement ships with not enough to go around. I had my alt scout lining up a bombing run on a few of the tackles when the gate started flashing like crazy as dozens of ships jumped back through and all warped off towards another gate.
I followed them lining up again for the bombing run hoping to suicide a few of them as they held at an SBU but the next thing I knew a cyno had gone up - I'm not sure if the generator was destroyed or if Chribba lowered it - but a flash of jump bubbles appeared and the grid now played host to about half a dozen NCDOT motherships all popping fighter bombers and engaging the SBU - so I peeled off to watch.
Was an impressive sight and the supers took down the SBUs one at a time with painful ease considering the time it had taken the public / ivy fleets to take down the previous SBU. The system soon dropped out from vulnerable, to contested, and then as the final SBU went boom it returned safely into Chribbas veldspar-loving hands.
NCDOT moved on but a few other neutrals stayed behind in system - the defence fleet made a mad dash to get out and start moving back to high-sec, it was a bit of a scary time for some because as they were not expecting to be fighting they ended up in null with full sets of +5 or worse. There was much cheering as they made it back into high. |

Wow, what an incredible few hours !!
Shout Out to all the Capsuleers involved. I was and still am pleasantly surprised as to how disparate individuals, Corps and Alliances can band together in such a manner. The Call to Arms was amazing, thanks for all the fun ! I eventually made it back to HiSec (Yes I'm a carebear - doesn't stop me "touring" the savage empire).
To the FC of the first fleet - Awesome stuff mate and a very good call in the first moments to get the Bombers away from the Vagabonds and Scimitars that showed-up during the first SBU take-down. No way I can see a bomber take on a Vagabond (we'd pop for sure). Perhaps a whole bunch of suicide bombers could deal them good alpha. Good call man, good call. Please though, next time you're eating choc-chip cookies and drinking fresh tea - keep quiet about it! I was frikken starving!! hehe.
Great fun, a very good evening and time well-spent.
This is entertainment

Haha - Sorry about that.
But I do find a fleet op is better with a cup of tea and chocolate digestive biscuits that have been nicely chilled in the fridge for an hour or two.
True fact. |

Ahhh, Sentient Blade! 'twas you!, lol. So many new names (to me) last night. I promptly made myself a pot of Earl Grey and a muffin with clotted cream (yes we have the latter in South Africa). This was around 01h30 my time.
Thanks again, I'm still shaking from the adrenaline

Wish I coulda helped but I was a bit busy staring at an Amarrian station in stain. Anyways, great to hear Chribba is still king in that system, and to anyone who tries to screw with him take this as an example. |

Chribba offers services to those major alliances - trusted financial services. Messing his business operations up... I don't think I'd want to place orders or escrow through someone I'd just decided to take pot shots at for lulz... it's not an advisable method for maintaining good relations - for some odd reason.
As for the smaller groups: a few have done this kind of stuff - at times finding those bigger alliances hunting them out of existence if they do more than inconvenience him and this isn't just about "liking him".
There really aren't many in this game that can claim the kind of business trust Chribba can and that has value to many.
Even ignoring his list of websites and the like: Business is business and messing with it, when multiple parties are involved, can annoy ALL those entities - not just your chosen target. |

It' was great fun indeed.
Xyloplax and sentient were smart and didnt get themselves blown up on the field, unlike yours truely.
But a great thanks should be given to the scouts who made sure the pipe was empty for the big guns.
Also to the cran and viator pilots who brought extra ammo to us out there.
There were many lulz in the fleet while we were unable to take action being mostly in bombers. |

Funny... I don't recall seeing or shooting any of you. I notice a lot of people were beating their chests and talking a good game with epic vows of revenge and what not but in the end NC. came in and smoked 3 SBUs and scores of "defenders". Empty words... |

we started with two stealthbombers and two Noobships at the CQ-gate and ended up with a 100 man fleet blobbing a 150 man fleet. that was so awsome!
I think we should say thanks to the guys, which anchored the SUBs xD
btw... someone know, if the route to Kari is free? i just have a Reaper and my clone have a few Imps... |

Glad things worked out Chribba, and I'm glad our vagabond's could give you a heart attack on your undock ^^.
To the people we ended up popping - We only came for the kill mails, not SBU defence, :)

Thank you for that report, it most definitely helps in undertanding what went on beyond the scope of what was visible to us during the encounter. Personally as I don't have the slightest clue on the relations of the different nullsec alliances or the history behind them, the whole encounter was rather confusing when even the identity of the opponent was unknown.

It was truely an awesome display of why we simply has the best community around! I had loads of fun (except having a heartrate at 180 (not good btw lol)) and silly me just being scared shitless of undocking and being locked for 2 sec before I warp away in my all so WCS'ed Tengu (I know right ).
Seeing pilots from a wide range of alliances, teaming up, and even shooting at each other for the fun, talking in local, in Holy Veldspar, in fleet.
One word: EPIC
Being there, having no idea what would happen, not really telling anyone what to do either, seeing people step up as FC's forming gangs, destroying stuff. Simply amazing.
Seeing local spike as NC. arrived, wondering wtf was going to happen when initial voices said they are shooting everyone, only to then jumping in a massive supercap fleet and completely raping the SBU's - wow!
I had tons of fun, despite my carebearness, I hope you did too, and I am honored to have been a part of this (imo) historic event. Can't say it enough times, but this is the reason why I keep playing this game, the community is simply outstanding and amazing! I thank you so much for letting me a part of it! I owe you all for every impression you give me /bows/
