This has become less interesting.
While I'm always for a little embarrassment at the expense of my True Amarr Brothers and Sisters in the Praetorians, this is starting to have the distinctive oder of the ridiculous.
I realize this might be hard to distinguish from Odeyla's typical funk, however. Sabik now, Sabik forever |

I would suggest we make a distinction from the Stormcrows going about their business rather professionally, and the ridiculousness I was referring to.
But on the other hand I applaud those involved for resorting to actual violence to settle a dispute, which can be a rarity among some IGSers.

Since you're keen to check the numbers, perhaps you could provide some context by comparing our losses to Stormcrows with the far greater value of both our victories against and losses to our primary focus: the Shakorites.
Also, how does the value of our losses compare to the expense of bankrolling this futile war against us?

That is what I already said above, but even those days, people go through proper authorities - meaning, the Civil Court - to settle issues of that sort instead of resorting to trial by combat, which is why it is considered rather old fashioned and barbaric these days...

I should note that PIE has not declared Odelya a heretic. Odelya has declared herself a heretic through her spouting of the Tetrimon Heresy and her declaration that the Theology Council was treasonous. We merely pointed out that she was a proponent of a set of beliefs that the Empire had declared to be heresy.
That she would hire mercenaries rather than apologize for her many insults to the Empire just puts a nice period on the self-condemnation that we have seen from her in the last few months.

I tolerate her because there are larger forces at work. When the Kingdom is reunited with the Empire, then will be the time to redress any grievances with the duchess.
If it was just the Tetrimon heresy I might agree with you.
However, she has consistently been actively insulting the entirety of the Empire as well as making a mockery of the office of the Holder. Those insults must be met with resistance and not tolerance, no matter the source.
Fortunately, her actions or opinions have little to no bearing on the future reintegration of the Khanid Kingdom with the Empire.
PIE has a policy of Tolerance for loyalists to King Khanid. That tolerance does not extend to people who feel they must attack the Amarrian Empire rather than simply remaining loyal to Khanid.

Consider the following outfits and their efficiency for December.

I suspect people will point and laugh at ours. What can I say? We fly more expensive ships. When we lose them, it hurts our efficiency.
The point is that PIE is doing well, despite the Stormcrows. This, in turn, means that both outfits are doing well. They are causing far more losses than they sustain.

It's just statistics at the end of the day, and probably doesn't mean much. I mean, you could probably do, "kills per member" and get:
Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive - 0.89 Pyre Falcon Defence Combine - 34.89 Electus Matari - 3.06 Villore Accords - 9.14
Which alludes to about the same as efficiency, which is not much at all, since it's easy to massage statistics one way or another and claim a, "Technical victory."

Well, one can extrapolate from that information a bit more nuanced idea of the total situation. In Pyre Falcon's case, for example, the high kill count per member, coupled with the slightly lower efficiency per destruction to cost, might mean that Pyre Falcon may suffer slightly higher proportional losses simply because its members are much more aggressive. Another explanation is that you may simply use more effective, but more expensive, equipment.
I'm sure someone keeps track of all the myriad statistics somewhere. It was just interesting to think about. "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?"

A number of things contribute to Ishuk-Raata's poor numerical statistics, despite our campaign successes.
We tend to use more expensive fleet doctrines, and those that are destroyed cause significant efficiency loss. The use and occasional loss of 'ratting' vessels within our space also contributes to poor efficiency. I'd be remiss if I didn't admit we have our fair share of costly victories, and outright defeats. Committing to a fight we don't expect to win is avoided where possible, but the different concepts of nullsec warfare make that less avoidable than elsewhere sometimes.
Our member count seems bloated when compared to the kill counts, but this is partly due to Ishuk-Raata not being a pure military organization. We maintain sprawling infrastructure, and must hire the pilots to handle logistics and industry. With some exceptions, our industrial arm is counted among the total employee count, as are any other non-combat personnel. This leads to a massive number of capsuleers, a near majority of which do not fly combat missions.

I think 80% efficiency is about the average for most capsuleer combat organizations that are both competent and aggressive. The fact that we have accomplished the kill rates that we have, even given our small size, against an FDU that I would say has far more combat prowess among its employed private military units in comparison to the Protectorate is an accomplishment in itself.
There is an irony in the CEWPA conflict to me, it is the Federal capsuleers that appear to have mastered the doctrines of small unit fleet actions favouring speed, mobility, and individual skill and ability in frigates; while it continues to be Caldari capsuleers who fail to remember the lessons of our ancestors during the secession.

If you want to talk statistics, the only meaningful statistic regarding this pointless little war is the comparison between PIE's material losses to the Shakorites and its material losses to these Mercenaries. While I would rather talk about our successes and kills, the losses are what matter in terms of long term military effectiveness.
PIE runs through roughly 2-8 billion isk a month in combat losses. We are set up to sustain significantly higher losses if needed. We tend to kill a good deal more than that, but efficiency isn't actually as relevant as sustainability.
For an outside group to hurt us in a relevant way they would need to be able to force us to suspend operations. This would mean doing enough damage that we could not continue to sustain our standard operating losses.
My reports on the Stormcrows say that they are quite competent hunters and have some extremely competent pilots, I have not yet tested this first hand, but I trust those reports. Still, they are unlikely to be able to affect the Praetoria in a meaningful way.
I must congratulate them on finding an excellent paymaster, though. This whole affair works out very well for the Stormcrows. The only person who loses in a major way in this whole arrangement is Odelya who is demonstrating that she lacks strategic sense as well as moral fiber.
I would warn the Stormcrows that they should be cautious about letting her extend their contract too long. Steady pay from a source that is incompetent at military strategy tends to lead to a decline in mercenary quality over the long term. We saw that in our engagements with Revan's mercenaries. One group called Omnicient Order was incredibly effective when they fought us the first time, but after three years of steady pay from a heretic with no strategic sense at all they collapsed into total ineptitude. But I am sure that the crows are fully aware of that danger.

Unfortunately some things are just too good to share before their proper time.
Regarding efficiency:
The point about the mercenaries needing to effect your overall disposition in your theater might be a valid one, I will grant that.
Others might not have such grand vision however, when they see a one-sided 'war report' full of kills and few losses.
The IGS has so few cases of IGS regulars actually shooting at each other these years that this has perhaps drawn more attention than warranted.
I'm certainly guilty of perhaps hoping under all that smoke was a smoldering fire, and not a tiny firecracker all but spent.
