Chapter 16 The Dalamo
Forth! And fear no darkness! Arise! Arise riders of Theoden! Spears shall be shaken! Shields shall be splintered! A Sword dayGǪ.a red dayGǪ.and the sun rises! Ride now! Ride Now! Ride for ruinGǪGǪ.and the worlds ending! Death!.........Death! DEATH!!!!!
December 7th, 2012 Ushra Khan finally gives the word to abandon their home system of Isbrabata.The Eugidi Campagn is Over. The Amarr took an entire metropolis constellation from the minmatar with Aset as its main base.
What started out as a simple diversionary tactic applied by Fweddit, InExile and TemFed to pull minmatar reinforcements away from Ushr Khan started to snowball. With corporations like Shirak Skunkworks (excellent pvpGÇÖers by the way)moving into Vard and Sasawong pushed back to defend Lantorn. It was starting to look like another crack in the minmatars armor was formed.
Over the course of a month the area in and around Dal became a hotspot for PVP as the above mentioned corps turned the diversionary tactic into a full on assault.
Dal
A very important part of the Minmatar Crown. An Extremly important mission hub cutting the minmatar off from that was a crucial step in stemming the tide of farmers pushing the Amarr down and keeping the Minmatar at high tiers.
One must remember the recent influx of new corps into the Amarr (mainly Fweddit and Agony) have not yet been properly applied as a united attack force. I mean sure they flew together from time to time and had skirmishes with the minmatar as well as pirates here and there throughout the warzone but to properly channel all the Amarr into one offensive fighting force to achieve a single goal that was yet to happen.
That changed with Dal in January 2013. For the first time in ages the Minmatar got a taste of what a unified Offensive Amarr force tasted like. After months and months of being splintered and barely resembling a united Militia the Amarr rose as one and charged as one at a single goal.
Many of the current Amarr refer to the Dalamo when they stare defeat in the face. Properly so I might add it reminded us all that if we put all our hands together the Minmatar will scatter to the four winds. Stripped of all the farmers the Minmatar are actually not as strong as one might think. Sure they can afford shiny toys but in reality they really donGÇÖt know how to use them as shown here in this video how they couldnGÇÖt properly fly armor hacs the way they were supposed to be flown. All they really have to their advantage is numerical superiority.
That numerical superiority however was not going to be enough when all three towers combined there force projection on Dal.. (Notice the combined coolness of Almity target calling and comms discipline being quietly reinforced by Agony pilots as they give Almity reassuring pushes)
The only problem with keeping the momentum up enough for Dal to fall was the availability of ships. Again losing a ship for anyone in fleet meant a three or four system jump to reship and come back. We needed Dal to fall as fast as possible as we were not sure how long we could keep this combined momentum going and the last thing we wanted was to waste this golden opportunity as Amarr slowly started to lose interest and drop from the combined operation.
Enter Super Chair.
Remember our friend from the Caldari that was with us in both Caldari campaigns? Allies are good and smart allies are better. Thankfully Super Chair (a very well known Caldari FC) decided Caldari pvp was slow and he wanted to join us and have some fun.
Plexing Dal was a 24 hour fleet operation. The fleet for Dal never went down and command of the fleet went in shifts between RTSAvalanche and Muad Dib from TemFed to Almity from InExile to Superchair and Flyinghotpocket of Amarrian Vengeance and even a few from Agony stepped up when burnout set in on some of the Amarr FCs. The fleet never stood down and was kept up for days until Dal was burned to the ground.
Super Chair went all out on this one and I believe the Dalamo never would have happened if it was not for one simple fact that many on the field overlooked.
Super Chair was tired of seeing people lost to go reship miles away. So Amarrian Vengeance spent close to half a billion in ships mass fitted and ready to rock and carrier jumped them into Seiside. Rail Cormorants and blaster merlins were put up for public contract at jita cost. More than 200 prefit and ready to go Merlins and Cormorants were put up on public contract in Sieside and that made a world of difference.
People that lost ships fighting in the novice and small plexes had only to travel one jump from Dal to Sieside to buy a ship of contract and jump right back into the fight.
With control over every size plex possible now the fleet was kept alive for more than 72 hours.
It was a complete success and for the first time in ages the minmatar got a proper dose of combined Amarrian might they gave a good fight dont get me wrong. It was just extremly clear to all Amarr that over the course of three days they could not push away the combined onslaught.
Every single Amarrian corporation was part of the Dalamo. No exceptions. Together the Amarr could do anything now.
here are a few battle reports feel free to look them all up if you want. 1 2 3

Chapter 17 Coasting to a Stop
With Aset firmly in Amarr hands and Amarr corporation leaders finally realizing the importance of this forward operating base more and more corporations moved pilots and ships to that location. In my opinion the importance of Aset is four-fold:
1-Undocking from any station in Aset gives you 7 possible systems to offensive plex in.
2-Many a missioner now can keep their mission boats here and just pick up their missions in a small ship and undock from Aset when they are ready to run them.
3-It reduces pressure on the Tandoiras constellation (home of Sahtogas) as far as focused minmatar plexing operations go.
4-It gives pvpGÇÖers great access to new pvp ground with the local pirates as well as the few minmatar corporations that decide to fight for metropolis and control of the pipe leading from Eszur to Aset.
Amarrian Vengeance at the time fully committed to plexing out that area and even moved deeper into that space establishing a forward base in choke point of Ardar.
For a short period the plan was working and a few systems where being flipped to the amarr side deep in metropolis.
In the few months that followed the Eugidi campaign everyone in the Amarr militia was pleased to see the rise of Fweddit from a band of new players barely able to properly fit destroyers due to sp limitations to pilots that is were actually starting to use organized fleet doctrines. They were becoming the Amarrs big brother and the bat light we lit when we needed the hammer dropped.
Isk being Isk it was not uncommon for Fweddit to switch over to the Caldari side for a few weeks to make some much needed isk before returning to the Amarr militia.
The only problem here is that Fweddit was getting to be too much for the Minmatar. We could see how the minmatar; who were initially welcoming fweddit as someone they could GÇÿfightGÇÖ (using their Flabbers against Fweddits initial depry thrashers) were now avoiding proper Fweddit fleets.
Fweddit was growing fast and the minmatars initial welcome to Fweddit for the GÇÿfightsGÇÖ dwindled down as fighting Fweddit now was rapidily turning into a proper fight.
Time and again I found myself in Fweddit fleets that had to GÇÿGASPGÇÖ ship down to get a fight from LNA and the likes. For three months Amarrean Vengeance toyed with the Metropolis systems trading systems with the minmatar here and there trying to poke and push a way up the pipe to Eszur but to no avail.
As far as Agony Unleashed in Kamela; no one could really tell Agony what to do and where to do it to be honest. In nullsec Agony maintains NASI policy (Not Agony Shoot It). So while Agony did work closely with Fweddit leadership (mainly a director named Pinky Feldman) and on occasion with us. They really were just a small elite force that the minmatar soon learned not to mess with and slowly they were being starved from fights as the minmatar wised up and learned that a single Agony taranis can and will solo a flabber.
With the rapidly developing Fweddit needing bigger and better toys than just thrashers they needed isk and more importantly they needed fights. Minmatar were learning to blueball both Agony and Fweddit a lot. This led to Fweddit sometimes moving entire fleets up to Caldari space to fight the braver and definitely better (pvp wise) gallente. (Notice how proper and strong Fweddit became in that video compared to just a few months earlier)
Blueballing being the name of the game the Minmatar (and what seemed like every Russian in EVE Online) turned to farming with stabs and cloaks. Slowly starving the PvPGÇÖers.
While I am not sure exactly when Agony decided their short stent in lowsec was over and time to go back to Syndicate I am sure it happened somewhere in the first quarter of 2013. Agony going back to Syndicate left the Tower of Kamela wide open as no one stepped in to fill that void. Well at least no one with enough manpower to stem the tide of the gank happy onslaught of Minmatar pilots coming from Kourmonen.
With Fweddit looking for another deployment into Caldari Space and Agony back in syndicate things were getting dark again for the Amarr. A storm was coming and on April 21st, 2013 our worst fears were realized.
take me with you without you everything just falls apart it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces Nine Inch Nails

Great series!
It's cool to get to a point where my personal experience joined up with your timeline (joined Fweddit in October 2012). Reading this actually has me feeling like pushing warzone again.
RE: the emergence of proper doctrines in Fweddit, I still remember a "Day 1" Panzer fleet I was on where we killed a Matari fleet that was supported by 3 Guardians. It wasn't even a contest. When the fight was taken I remember thinking that, "Oh well, at least this Panzer will die gloriously." Instead, we had a clear win with very few losses. That marked the first time I had been in a "real like-we-planned-it-this-way fleet". Was an Eve changing moment.
I'm really looking forward to hearing more of this series. Drunk tank, best tank. |

Chapter 18 Darkness falls
Pride. Pride always comes before the fall.
In the period between January 2013 and March 2013 the Amarr got Proud, thatGÇÖs never a good thing in my opinion. It seemed watching the combined forces of the entire Amarr militia in Dal gave everyone a false sense of security. No one really had time to deplex they had other more important matters to do (god only knows what). I guess many an amarr corp (including ourselves) were just riding the wave created by Fweddit and got lazy. Thinking worst case scenario we could always just call fweddit in. That was a huge mistake.
Never did Fweddit announce themselves as anyoneGÇÖs batphone, fweddit was now a 500 man powerhouse and 500 man power houses have their own agendas to worry about. It seemed everyone in Amarr were satisified with just sitting back and thinking GÇÿyah let fweddit deplex, take over space and hold space for usGÇÖ
Even Amarrian Vengeance got sloppy in the months after the Dalamo. We didnGÇÖt have any active campaigns and just the combined burnout of both the Eugidi campaign and the Dalamo meant many of us at Amarrian Vengeance took a break or two from eve in the first quarter of 2013.
In fact let me take this opportunity to set the record straight for EVERYONE in the Amarr militia. No one and I mean No one in the Amarr has the right to blame Fweddit for the deterioration and subsequent loss of space that happened in the first quarter of 2013.
Agony left Kamela and Kamela fell like a ton of bricks because of the forty Amarrian pilots in the Kamela station at any given time not one thought to himself GÇÿhey this system is getting pretty contested let me start deplexing itGÇÖ. Let someone else do itGǪGǪ..
Let someone else do itGǪGǪ..
Let someone else do itGǪGǪ..
That ladies and gentleman is the killer right there. If anyone needs to point the finger at the reason any given militia loses space itGÇÖs because of those 5 words:
Let someone else do itGǪGǪ..
Long Story short, the farmers fell upon the Amarr/Minmatar warzone in the late first quarter of 2013 with the fury of a three mile locust swarm. Systems where being lost at a very alarming rate and truth be told ladies and gentleman of the Amarr militia the only reason it happened is becauseGǪ..
/me brings a mirror in front of everyone
Let someone else do itGǪGǪ..
Before it was all said and done. Less than ten systems remained under Amarr control. Nine of them useless systems. The only home system left in Amarr control was Sahtogas.
Amarrian Vengeance Leadership saw the writing on the wall.
It was time the faith of the amarr to be truly tested. With only the most righteous surviving the cleansing plague that was the descent of million farmers to the minmatars side.
It was time for everyoneGÇÖs faith to be tested. Time to know who really was an Amarr at heart and who wasn't.

Chapter 19 This is where we fight! This is where they die!
It was defcon 1 time in Amarrian Vengeance. I personally was on a break from EVE when the swarm landed on Sahtogas due to a very important project at work. Every night after work I would come home to see my steam chat box filled with calls to get the ef on EVE now, (I only was able to play EVE and come help late late in the famed defense of Sahtogas). Amarrian Vengeance needed every single able bodied pilot to defend Sahtogas. Props to the Amarrian Vengeance guys they held the fort down. At one point the minmatar had three POSGÇÖs in system (some even without stront) to safe up between plexes.
The minmatar were so close to holding ALL of the warzone they could literally smell the famed CCP medal. Before it was all said and done during the Siege of Sahtogas only two Amarr systems were left. One system in some backwater hole deep in nowheresvill Metropolis, The other? Fortress Sahtogas.
Flyinghotpocket was screaming at any and everyone to come help hold onto Sahtogas. Tempers flared and RAGE flowed from FHP in all intell channels at all the Amarr as being worthless and not able to help. Everyone in Amarrian Vengeance was extremely disappointed in the lack of help from the entire Amarr militia.
This was not an issue of station lockout and losing access to assets because truly worst case scenario was dropping militia for a day or two to relocate asets. This was an issue of Amarrian pride. Sahotgas cannot fall no matter what.
In their darkest moments Amarrian Vengeance showed their true metal. They showed how ten men could hold off a swarm.
This is where we hold them! This is where we fight! This is where they die! Earn these shields, boys! Haroo! Remember this day, men. For it will be yours for all time. Persian Officer: Spartans! Lay down your weapons Persians! Come and get them!
At some point during the siege Amarrian Retribution didnGÇÖt even think about killing the minmatar. We had no time for that. All we could do is hold the plex long enough for them to give up. That meant maybe only one or two DPS ships and the rest were pure logi. We needed staying power. Thankfully if there is one thing Amarrian ships are good for, itGÇÖs staying power.
Staying Power 1 Staying Power 2
By the way I would like to take a second to thank Dan Carter Murray for the excellent fcGÇÖing throughout the campaign. Everyone stepped up I am very proud of them all. Amarrian Vengeance prides itself on the fact that any one of our pilots can step up and FC if needed. We have to really, we cant be the type of fleet that scatters once the main FC goes down.
The casual reader might think I am overinflating the importance of the blood bath Amarrian Vengeance gave the Minmatar on the gates of Sahtogas. Let me drop some numbers for you.
This is the total number of kills in Sahtogas in the month prior to the siege (ten pages) This is the total number of kills in Sahtogas in the month at the beginning of the siege (late March, 25 pages) This is the total number of kills in Sahtogas in the month of the Siege. (May, 52 pages worth of kills)
Amarrian Vengeance truly needed a miracle to pull this off.
And a Miracle did happen. Some old Friends decided to give us a hand and come back to the warfront.
GÇ£all we ask our allies to do is bleed with usGÇ¥
This truly was a test of faith. It was time for everyone in Amarrian Vengeance to be bathed in the blood of the minmatar and come out baptized and true.
I never really was a deeply religious man in real life. But I pride myself on having faith. Sometimes all you need to do is read the signs to know a higher force is guiding youGǪGǪ..
I donGÇÖt think I made this point clear enough for you the reader. I really want you to pay attention to the below text I want everyone in EVE to witness the miracle that we witnessed
"At the end of days when they descend Watch for the coming of the Ark For within it, salvation is carried" - The Scriptures, Book II, Apocalypse 32:6
It was time the faithful were shown a signGǪGǪGǪGǪand the sign did comeGǪGǪGǪ..
What was this Miracle? That Miracle is coming in the next chapter.

A major 'happening' that you missed was the ninja patch that CCP did against farming when they decided they announced a day prior that they were going to change the ability to plex systems into infinite vulnerability. The Minmatar still held the entire warzone, which was waiting to be flipped back to Amarr and farmed up again, but we knew that with the addition of LP for defensive plexing, it would quickly be deplexed within less than 24 hours by farmers and the active Matari groups. Post-ninja nerf, systems would be much harder to flip.
It was extremely painful, but #YOLOCOLO was determined not to let the Amarr repeat the mistakes of Inferno and wanted to give the Amarr the best possible starting position for when LP payouts would be changed. We had to take our fate into our own hands because deep down we knew that no one else within the Amarr had the manpower or initiative to take action.
Fweddit was still in the Caldari faction, we had returned to the Amarr warzone, but were waiting out our cooldown to rejoin the Amarr faction so we couldn't bash hubs. I remember fweddit supporting ilaw's dread fleet led by Almity with some Agony led by Greygal until maybe 4am in the morning. It was brutal, but with all the Minmatar asleep we had to do what we could to give the Amarr the best possible starting position and take away some of the perceived invincibility Matari map control.
We ended up bashing almost every single Amarrian system, minus Kourm, Huola, and Arzad on the Eszur side of the map. Meanwhile, on the other side of the map we took Aset due to the strategic importance that Stalking mentioned as well as every single vulnerable Minmatar mission system. Amarrian leadership at the time knew that there was no possible way for us to hold all of them, but the others served as a diversion while we held Aset. They key point of this decision was moving the war front back as far as we could. Since Inferno, the Amarr had been fighting a defensive war with the battle lines drawn at Kamela/Kourm, despite the warzone itself being much larger.
Mad shoutouts to SBA and Koza for holding down the Aset pocket for as long as they did. Likewise, I don't think that skunkworks led by rudex can be given enough credit for the softening up of Dal for the month prior to the final superchair deathblow. I think rudex's boys plexed Dal up to 60-70 during the weekday every single week for a month, forcing Annah to lead deplexing fleets that sat in Dal weekend after weekend, until they finally slipped up just enough that we had a window going into a Saturday.

To Be ContinuedGǪGǪGǪ. I've been instructed to go over our defense strategy against the minmatar and gallente trying to siege sahtogas. We knew our support would be limited to calling maybe 10 extra pilots on all time zones, the rest would be busy helping take a system so the minmatar dont get a medal. that was the goal. Do not let them get the medal. We had several hundreds of ships at our disposal and only need capsuleers to fill them up.
We decided to go for a Terror defense campaign the 3 plexs Medium/small/novice. we knew we could never match them in the small, the destroyer plex they could easily out man us there and pretty much instantly kill any 15 man fleet we could field. The mediums and the novices is where we could make our stand. With our vast reserves of isk and already hundreds of prefit ships we made call out to any militia pilot able to fly a t2 fit frigate to come to sahtogas and get a free ship for the defense fleet. We stuck our pilots in large amounts of logi and very few dps, the goal was to hold the timers as LONG as possible delaying their attacking fleet as long as possible until our night timezone (black watch guard) could log in, beat back the remaining forces and win some plexs back for a few hours.
The mediums were our true Terror tactics, we employed as many augorors as we could field with only 2-3 dps ships capable of breaking their ships 1 at a time. And we backed that up with a smart bomb maller designed to kill their pods. https://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=17475450 After a few pods like this the big name pilots stopped fighting us in the mediums all together.
The novice plexs we hurled wave after wave of frigates in. We didnt want the combined fleets capturing plexs in rapid succession we slowed them down as long as we could for the amarr militia to take away their goal of getting that medal. ILAW/fweddit came through and captured a system. We had stopped them from getting the medal and support for the attack on sahtogas started to subside. Amarr Militia Representative - A jar of nitro |

Chapter 20 The Coming Of The Ark
Some people call it a fluke. Others call it a freak coincidence. The faithful thoughGǪGǪthe faithful cal it a sign.
"At the end of days when they descend Watch for the coming of the Ark For within it, salvation is carried" - The Scriptures, Book II, Apocalypse 32:6
So what was this coming of the arc?
What was this sign for the faithful you have been going on and on about mantis?
Let me be clear. If I donGÇÖt point this out to everyone here and now I will never be forgiven by my CEO as we at Amarrian Vengeance want this point to be made VERY CLEAR to EVERYONE.
Only three corporations within the ENTIRE Amarr Militia had pilots faithful enough to read this divine sign:
1-Amarrian Vengeance
2-Black Watch Guard
3-Praetoria Imperialis Excubitori
May 8th, 2013 Behold the coming of the Arc
It was a sign. It was time to for the pure to be redeemed. It was time for the unworthy to be judged.

I do not think that the ability to see the ark for what it was is a question of faith. Fweddit's belief in the empress and the glory that is the Amarr empire goes beyond the reading of prophecy. We all have our own roles and while those three organizations might be what could be considered the high priests, I would say that fweddit is the church and mass congregation whose role is to spread the holy word to the slaves and other heathens. There is a reason we strive to carry pax amarria in our cargoholds at all times.
I know your meaning in this post, but I am stlil slightly offended that you would elevate the faith of your own above that of ours.

Its possible Sahtogas may not have had to deal with this issue, because perhaps unlike Arzad it was not a system where both amarr and minmatar were based. I'm not saying that we would have been able to take arzad back again it would have been interesting though. I am saying that it was literally impossible for us to take arzad because the game was literally broken.
We didn't have to deal with it much because if they wanted to make any headway they wouldn't do it. It was pretty devastating when attacking one of their home systems though, as we found in arzad. Heck, tararan was the harder fight because it took so long. Apparently the guy who was doing it stopped bothering at some point and that greatly accelerated the capturing of arzad.

A good read. Although there is a high dose of bias in it, that is expected, as you are a slaver.
Especially chapter 18 should be read by all militia members regardless of race. The moment you think "Let someone else defend it" is the moment you lose your home system. I was there. I experienced it from first hand.
Waiting for next chapters. |

Mantis,
Thank you for sharing all these great stories.
This is what FW is all about, working together, and fighting/dieing for your faction.
I think that CCP should use your stories to make some chronicles of FW or they should share your stories on an FW page in EVElopedia. This to show noobs what FW is really all about (and to inspire them to do the same as you), and that it's not about mindless boring farming just to earn ISK.
I've been in FW since Inferno, just for the occasional PVP (I never joined for farming/missioning), but you inspired me to find a corp and fight for my faction.
Keep it up dude! |

Excellent writ.
Of course Stalking is highly biased towards the empire and corp he loves - that is the nature of the storyteller.
The power Stalkings stories have is adding an emotional touch to a game that consists mainly out of numbers and stats at the first sight.
This is also a good opportunity for me as a capsuleer to thank AVING for flying and fighting with them. Pockets is the soul of AVING and Templar Dane its driving force behind the power AVING can wield. |

They already have. But that was another story for another faction I fought for.
The Amarr have always been on the short end of the stick. With this thread I am hoping they get the light they so deserve finally shone on them.
While this thread is specifically made for Amarrian Vengeances' story.

~Great Work
Very enjoyable to read.
Would be great to have a perspective and similar writings from:
1. Iron Oxide 2. Triad 3. LNA 4. Global Isk Network / White Lotus 5. Shirak Skunkworks 6. Koza 7. 24eme Legion Etrangere 8. Agony Unleashed (go on Greygal :) 9. ILaw / Feydakin 10. Fweddit
The emotive stories about the FW played by those with vested interests are what highlight why FW is one of the last true vestiges of compelling and interesting gameplay for remaining Bitter Vet's, Casual players and those looking for real immersion into the Eve world.
Keep up the good work Stalking Mantis & AVNG.
I will continue to enjoy not shooting at you when we are in a Predator Elite's fleet, when we are War Decc'd, etc...
Just wish I had more logged on game time in order to participate more.

I say a thousand words are worth a million pictures.
That is why books contain and transport much more imagination than movies do.
In my point of view a game like Eve has a much bigger emotional content than just conflict. Stalking shed some light on anger, bitterness and constant struggle.
But he also mentioned loyalty, comradeship and blind trust.
The latter are the base of the power AVING can wield when deployed.

Stalking I don not agree that Kam fell after Agony left. In fact I was in Kam from September 2012 to March 2013. Agony went almost inacive since beginning of November 2012. S0re and later formed hopeless addiction defended Kam all the time after that after Hopeless Addiction Disbanded in March 2012. We defended Kam so hard vs several minnie superinvasions (Kam was several times eves system with most kills in WHOLE eve) and lost it only once or two for maybe 2 or 3weeks in total. Tbh several amarr offensives were only possible because minnies concentrated on us in Kam. [09:04:53] Ashira Twilight > Plant the f****** amarr flag and s*** on their smoking wrecks. |
