A day may come when the courage of our soldiers fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of Tau Cetis comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight!! By all that you hold dear on this good galaxy, I bid you stand, Men of the North!!!
Frederik, before the battle of H-W planet 9 moon 4 (or was it?)
Yesterday a large fleet enemy fleet composed mainly of Morsus Mihi, Razor and Guard attacked a TCF PoS is H-W, 9 of Morsus Mihi dreadnought supported by 4 carriers engaged our PoS at about 22:00 eve time. 6 of our dreadnought supported by 5 carriers jumped in system and proceeded to attack the enemy fleet with an enemy gang of 150+ enemies in local, whilst our fleet of 100 was located in the next system D7-. Their heavy support warped on the PoS to support the dreadnoughts, our fleet jumped in system. Both were slaughtered by the lag. Our gang dropped from 100 to 50 after the jump, half of the lagged out got killed at the gate without even loading their overview, at the same time our PoS happily shot down quite a few lagged out enemy battleships.
Once the dust had settled after 50 minutes of raging battle, our PoS was safe and the loot was ours. Both fleet suffered heavy damages. Over 20 battleships or heavy t2 ships destroyed for each fleet. 7 Morsus Mihi dreadnoughts down and 6 TCF dreadnoughts sunk.
To our knowledge this was the most violent battle ever in eve, with 13 dreadnoughts destroyed and countless support ships. The lag took away the fun from a lot of people in both fleet, many were those who didn't had a chance to activate a single mod or see a single enemy on their overview, but so much destruction in such a short time is still quite an achievement, and this battle will probably be remembered for a long by all those that took part in it.
Here's a short summary of what happened so far in the TCF campaign in Tribute. Saturday TCF came in H-W with a 180 ship fleet, 20 capital ship and proceeded to put all the PoS in the system in reinforced mode before downtime, and 3 other PoS in D7- in the afternoon, as well as finishing off a H-W pos in the afternoon.
For the next 4 days TCF kept on hammering Morsus PoS each day, destroying 4 of them puting 9 in renforeced mode, removing the Morsus sovereignty over D7- and H-W several time, as well as capturing and recapturing stations daily.
TCF was supposed to get sovereignty over H-W thursday, and in order to prevent this Morsus had planned to counterstrike ... you know the rest.

Somes days you feel big when you attack cruisser class vessel in you'r battle ship class vessel
Somes days you feel really tiny when you are in a cruiser and see the behemoth fighting together, when you see the battle raging, the capital ship goes down like battleship.
Yesterday was one of this days, yesterday H-W was a bloody (laggy) system.

Saddly that was mainly lag fest.. and we lost a large part of our ships only with the jump from D7 to W-H : CCP spoiled the fun .
But for those who could fight i think it was a good and very exciting battle for each side with the best spirit without any smack. Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum. |

Wicked brawl yesterday. Nice show by you guys. Hope it goes on like this for months. I disagree on the numbers abit though. When it came to BS you are down by a long margin.
Oh and to everyone complaining about the lag. You should have been in a dread at the TCF pos. Sucks to see your DN die slowly while your repper refuses to activate.
I think I speak for everyone when I say we're glad you put yourself on the agenda as the next fight after goons in Cloud Ring. Nothing better than a bigass fight next door to where you live.

Edited by: Mee Leen on 03/08/2006 08:25:40 This day, shown, how we are determinated. Everybody, from young pilots in frigates, to proven and skilled fleet commanders, strong logistic support, look at the same objective : put our flag on Tribute territory.
Strong patriotic will, hard work and cohesion power are our values during this battle.

As our leader put in then, there come a point where you don't "win" a battle anymore, you only lose less than the enemy.
The lag wrecked havoc for both sides, with players having touble activating their modules (almost 2 minutes to switch from Auroras to Gleams), difficulties loading overviews, and, most of all, the main TCF fleet having major problems to enter the system. The local in H-W showed 190 (+-30TCF and 190 Morsus/CDC/Razor) before the 90-100 man fleet tried to enter the system, and never went above 215, because most players were either freezed on both sides of the gate, or disconnected and unable to relog. The result was awful: We gave the Morsus fleet a "shoot fish in a barrel" party at the gate and TCF units were able to warp to attack the dreads only in singletons.
Most violent battle to date, indeed, with both sides losing well over 15 bilions worth of ships/modules, but our offensive, and that meat-grinder of a battle, proved that the Federation is the second most powerfull entity of the North.
I foresee interesting times coming for us and this region.

Last nights battle was of truly epic proportions, and despite the horrible lag and terrible losses sustained on both sides, i think everyone will agree that it was excellent fun...when your modules eventually activated that is

Hi,
This was definitively a huge mass drop in system, both side losing almost equal number of dreadly ships. Sadly lag was huge. Only a few pilots were really able to have a sight on this fight, and even fewer were able to have an active role (ship modules not being activated).
This fight was probably the most impressive of a series of what i'd call a sovreignty war that started one week ago. Yet TCF and allies removed several POS and lost none. This fight was to our knowledge the first capital ship attack on one of our POS.
Concerning isk loss, generally admitted rule is that you PvP only with what you can afford to lose. I guess that both party had fun and will keep in mind images of such rare fight before anything else.
Thx for the smackless fights.

Our homeland has been invaded by the barbarians from the north, and we will fight until they are not here anymore. And after that we'll remove them from their 'so called homes' in the north. You are not welcome to Tribute, and you will keep feeling it. No matter what you throw at us, you will be repelled.
Live long and prosper RAWR!

Tribute Quadrant, yesterday 19:37 Emergencies procedures were activated, the supreme commander of Tau Ceti fleets was waked up. Decisions were made, new commanders were called in as the old ones were preparing themselves for an endless night. The stalemate went on.
Tribute Quadrant, yesterday 21:00 Cyno fields appeared in H-W. Several scouts remaining in that system jumped to detail what was probably the second step of the enemy. Having large forces of Tau Ceti blockaded, the commanders of the enemy fleet decided to bring capital ships into the system. The plan was simple and battles are won by simple, efficient, decisions. The enemy fleet will hold the blockade and the dreadnoughts and carriers will destroy the defenses of the large war stations of Tau Ceti in the central system of H-W. This was a good plan.
Tribute Quadrant, yesterday 21:06 The Tau Ceti supreme commander was thinking. Letting the Morsus-Mihi coalition attack freely his stations could be allowed. There were a lot of stations and they could protect themselves for a few days. àitÆs was a bad signal to give. You donÆt win war by reacting but by forcing the other to react. Deep in the war stations, little grey people were awoken. Other cyno fields begun to appear in H-W. His plan was also simple.
Tribute Quadrant, yesterday 21:13 Cyno fields are not really discreet and humble things. After all, you donÆt move billons of tons of Behemoths warships with a candle. The Cyno fields were seen by the enemy. The commanders of the Morsus-Mihi coalition understood the gamble offered to them. They took it. Watching their Capital Ships aligning to their war station target on the planet 9 moon 4, they knew they will be no way back. 9 dreadnoughts and 5 carriers of the coalition jumped to the Tau Ceti war station.
Tribute Quadrant, yesterday 21:17 The Capital Ships of the coalition have now engaged the war station which is shaking under the assault and fires back with all his power. Not far from there 6 dreadnoughts and 4 carriers of Tau Ceti federation are aligning, along them are all the ships large or small that could be launched from the other war stations of the federation in that system. They jump in to save their station.
Tribute Quadrant, yesterday 21:19 Hell in space. H-W system, Planet 9, Moon 4. More than 20 capital ships are fighting each other. They are not made to fight that wayànot at all. Empire State Buildings donÆt shoot at each other, but here and now they do and Empire State Buildings dies.
The two fleets are still stalemating each other at the D7-H.W gateàbut no plan of battle ever resist the first contact nor do they now. As Behemoths are pounding each other, the war station throw his weight into the battle. The Morsus-Mihi commanders take a new gamble, the enemy fleet align to the Planet 9, Moon 4. All small and middle ships are given a mission, to hold the HW-D7 gate as the battleships are going to attack the capital ships of Tau Ceti.
The Morsus-Mihi Coalition battleship fleet jump towards his Capital Ships. Seconds after, the Tau ceti fleet jump into H-W.

The battle of the dreads
Tribute Quadrant, yesterday 19:11
Since his surprise attack on Tribute 6 days ago, The Tau Ceti Corporation and his allies have fought well. In a few hours, the dozens war station anchored in the region systems will bring the sovereignty to the warriors. As usual since the campaignÆs beginning, a large fleet composed of more than 100 ships, the vast majority of them reinforced battleships was holding guard in the neighborhood of the H-W star. As usual in time of war, the enemy was nearby but intelligence was sparse and their fighters were smart and not easily discovered. This was a warning signal for the Tau Ceti Commanders. After days of continuous fighting and territory gains, a sense of pride has emerged between the members of the fleet, so did the Commandersàthey didnÆt see the signal. The commanders of the Tau Ceti fleet moved their forces from the central system of H-W in the nearby system of D7 where several large war stations could be attacked by the enemy.
The enemy appeared àin H-W. Since the beginning of the war, scouts were used to details every ships in the enemy formation. What was detailed now was, by far, the largest enemy fleet to have entered the system. Dozens and dozens of Battleships, Interceptor, Interdictor and support were slowly appearing on their scanners. Morsus-Mihi, the proud owners of the Tribute quadrant, has been activating old friendship ties. Guards, Razor and CDC have responded to the call of their ally and entered the battlefield. The enemy war fleet took position on the gate from D7 to H-W.
Tribute Quadrant, yesterday 19:30 As more and more of Tau ceti fighters were woken up in the central war stations of H-W, the commanders of the fleet were facing a dilemma. Their forces were not strong enough to easily brake the blockade on the other side of the H-W gate and a good deal of those forces were now awaken in H-W, far from them. Pondering options, the commanders waited.
In H-W, the still sleepy fighters of TCF were getting impatient. So many friends died in the last few days, so few hours to mourn or even sleep or eat. The scouts screamedàthe blockade on the gate to D7 was moving. Buttons were pressed, emergencies warp were activated, the TCF fighters jumped into D7 to rejoin their comrades. It was a mistake. As soon as the last warp to D7 was activated, the enemy fleet jumped on the gateàthe scouts reported several Interdictor bubbles exploding around the massive constructionàand more reinforcement coming and joining that already impossibly large enemy fleet.
Regrouping in D7, the TCF fleet was trapped, there was no more way into H-W. A desperate push trough the gate will bring enormous losses and more importantly a large risk of losing the battleground. Since the beginning of time, most of the battles have been won before the first fights took place. TCF commanders now knew something that they didnÆt a few moments before, the first steps of a massive battle have been walked and they were not the one walking. They had underestimated the enemy and were stalemated. It was deadlyà.for them in the first place.

Tribute Quadrant, yesterday 21:19 Universe is a large thing but, surprisingly, a delicate one too. Hundreds of simultaneous warps have a rare tendency to disturb the integrity of the space fabric. The H-W space time fabric is now under tremendous stress and traces of Large Agglomerate Gravel (the ôgravelö effect) are appearing. The universe collapses. The battle goes on
Tribute Quadrant, yesterday 21:22 Surprised by the gravel effect, the Tau Ceti fleet at the D7 Gate and the Morsus-Mihi Coalition Fleet at the Planet 9 are taking tremendous losses. Carcasses of battleships, cruisers, high tech frigate are littering the system above a floor of death corpses. Deaths are a good thing for the universe, the space fabric stop throwing out and ease herself.
The remains of the Tau ceti fleet has yet to warp to his Capital Ships. The Morsus-Mihi coalition fleet does not. Dozens of Capital Ships of the enemy coalition appears in Hell and ask they shares of blood and tears Tau Ceti Behemots have to pay. Screaming in flames, few will survive. In Hell, the scanners register now incoming vessels, they assign them a blue color. The color universally chosen for friends. More blue dots appear.
The Tau Ceti war Station now see more clearly and concentrate his fire on the enemy battleships. For the first time since hours, the Tau Ceti fleet sees their targets and rush to the coalition Behemoths. Both sides are suffering; the butcherÆs bill takes new height. The tide of war turns. Having to endure the constant pounding of the war station, The Morsus-Mihi Coalition warps out, having no other choice than leaving his priceless war elephants at the mercy of the enemy. War is not a fair game. For the thousands of fighters inhabiting the Morsus-Mihi coalition Capital ships, fair or game werenÆt words they could hear anymore, they were fighting against a new hellàalone. And they were holding.
The tide of war began to turnàagain. The full remaining force of the Morsus-Mihi coalition jumps into hell, a second time. Tau Ceti fighters receive a flash order, concentrate fire on the Behemoths. They execute, some closing their eyes when they feel the thunder eradicating their ship structure and throwing them into darkness. In the heat of the battle, numbers become important. The universe starts computing. The tide retreats. The Behemoths scream and disappear one after another and the coalition fleet has to warp out. Soon the last capital ship stands alone in a see of burning metal, he disappear too.
Tribute Quadrant, yesterday 21:47 The Tau Ceti fleet supreme commander watch the battlefield. As everywhere and as long as battles have been fought, now has come the time to evaluate. Six dreadnoughts, the whole part of the Capital Ship fleet that was engaged, were annihilated by the enemy, seven enemy Dreadnoughts were destroyed. ô13 Behemoths, 13ö Maybe war has a sense of humor after all. As brothers and sisters of the deaths are actively scavenging the remains of the battle, he remembers the words ôthe only worst thing than a victory is a defeatö
