New drone regions.
INFOD wasn't aware of what the Establishment is capable of.
Our gang was about 8 - 10 battleships. My scout told me that there is a little Establishment gate camp 3 jumps out.
Of course I ordered everyone to jump and kick the **** out of this little gate camp, afterall we are INFOD 
oh boy, I wetted my pants when I saw what was coming from this cyno you guys dropped.
My command was like this: "Okay guys, they have carriers coming in. 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... no problem guys, keep them jammed or dampened."
Someone on teamspeak: "Well, not all of those carriers are really carriers" ...
Full fleet lost 
Won't happen a 2nd time when I will meet Hera again tho

Deklein Contract: For a single week, the Freelancer Alliance hired The Establishment against the Northern Freedom Coalition and its allies. During this time, we locked down a particular choke point with Hera and other support, strangling almost all traffic to a standstill. One particular engagement saw Hera on the field with an FLA fleet during a massive engagement against NFC and its allies as they attempted to attack a Station. Despite this we were unable to hold the field and the NFC fleet pushed us back and we were forced to try frigate runs with Fighters attached, with limited success.
I remember that contract, FLA got us up there too.. it was the best contract I've ever been on.
We should rightfully have paid FLA for getting to slaughter NFC like that.

They were the days as Ozzie had said early in the thread the planet incident with the NFC was my first ever very brief eno****er of Hera indeed of any cyno based ship. This was in the days when filtering your map to reveal cyno fields actually gave you valuable information. I must confess i had not given Hera much thought up until i read your Post assuming the ship was lost by now.
I won't say long may she fly, just in case i end up on the wrong side. And i dont see a need to say that when she goes may she go with all guns firing i think that will be a forgone conclusion.
I will say well done to all the associated pilots for writing the manual on how to use those things.

Ah those were good times. After the 2nd assault NFC launched on the FLA station, and we all got pushed back I remember us trying to use our fighters attached to frigates to do hit and runs as your lads did the same with your ranged BS's.
Quite the unusual mix but it was definatly good fun to try

You didnt say anyhting about how you got her. Who built her?
We built her. That is to say, we did most of the hard work of getting the ISK and Minerals together for building the components, with some outside investor help along the way for the BPO's required. For a modest fee, we gave NAGA all the components and they built it for us in their Capital Shipyard. From initial idea to build it, up to the delivery of the ship took 5 months.

huh? What did I miss out then? Rather than make a sniping comment without explaining yourself, how about you tell me what I missed out. Considering my memory of the logistics involved is fairly fuzzy, forgive me if I miss details out. Rawthorm would know the details.

How so? Naga did a fantastic job, but the final assembly was only the last of many phases to her construction. We had to get the minerals, parts Bpo's the ship Bpo, build the parts and ship them to the boarder of Geminate.
Your corp was responsible for the final 2 jump haul and loading the array with our parts and Bpo. We've never denied your role in her construction and when asked I've always told people of the efforts Naga put in.
Would have been wrong not to, given you effectivly only charged us the cost of setting up the Capital Pos (Split over the 4 Nyx's due to come off our Bpo)
It's just a shame that there were so many delays on the second one or Hera might have had a little sister before MC attacked

It was an honour to loose my very first, in hindsight poorly fitted, Eos to the mighty pwn machine that is Hera, when we tried to take her down with CI.

In honor of the birthday and to give people even more incentive to down it (and because rawthorm is so rich, I remember that CNR he lost he Fountain :P) can you reveal the 3 most expensive modules fitted to Hera?
Maybe not the most expensive but I think my favourite 3 are the Tobias modified warp disruptor, the Cormacks modified energized adaptive nano membrane and the Estamels modified cloaking device
And for referance im not rich 
Gratz on making great history with Hera.
Just wondering, is Hera powered by Cap Control Circuit II rig which you made from BPC i sold you while they were still rare?

She is indeed. Being a PvP vessel the parts were fairly easy to come by, so we built and fitted up the 2 rigs build from that BPC

Gratz on using it for sucha long time and still have it.
One of my astartes fell victim to it allready.
Managed to take down the gist fitted Drake baitship before tho.

There I was a 2 month old guy helping to defend Unity station.
from the comms:
"oh damn another towers just been anchored and is about to online shortly"
"can we kill it?"
"lets fighter bomb it"
"everyone align"
*warp to covert warp in point
*lock and put fighters on the tower
"oh damn the nyx is here"
"nyx is primary"
*adjust orbit and reassigning fighters
I learnt what an officer smartbomb does to a rifter and a pod.
I still belive to this day that my name is engraved on the side of that ship though.
Thanks EST for this and many great and sad memories, allways been a pleasure for the smak free combat.

So true.. while living in Immensea, having any of the Establishment being spotted and the threat of that ship.. was probably the only fights I tried to avoid in the area.. As others have mentioned bringing a rag tag force against it always ends badly

Ahh yes, one of many a skirmish with UK during that period. You guys definatly never gave up trying to find a weakness in her during the earlier parts of her operational history.

What I wonder is why were people so annoyed at warp stabs and nano-battleships, but enjoy supercapital PvP? Because the mechanic is the same, all three setups allow you to engage in PvP without having to commit yourself to the fight in the case of a possible loss.

That damn Nyx. . .
I think I said it every time I saw our KB to see a couple bs's gone down to her from a trap we tried to lay.
That damn Nyx. . .
Congrats on the year. Shes a worthy adversary. Regardless of any personal feelings of hatred felt for it

That freaking thing was the first cap ship I ever saw. I remember sitting on a gate in Assah watching in utter, complete amazement as it ate a megathron's face off in mere seconds.
Then the little yellow box appeared around it and I spammed the jump button so fast I'm surprised it didn't crash the node.
After that, we planned our trips into Prov based on where EST and that danged thing was.
Later, when I wasn't quite as much of a newb, I made the mistake of following orders in KBP-7G when someone said to jump to the cyno field......let's just say the brutix didn't last long :)
Really, I'm glad she's still alive and kicking. Stuff like this is what makes EVE so awesome.

Aye, was a h00t! That war still remains my best time spent on EvE! Still have a screenshot of the battle for that station with Hera center screen for my desktop wallpaper to this day, she is my inspiration and the pic shall remain there untill I can fly one..muhahahaha (one day....) I'm glad you made this post as I have wondered from time to time how you guys have been getting on.
Congratulations to you and Hera! Fingers crossed CCP see the sense and grant you that skin.....nice post, nice artwork!
Fly safe...and happy hunting for the next year!

I think I remember that fight, it was my first big fight after joining Est!
You guys came in so fast I remember the scout reporting the incoming gang and called for the cyno then it seemed like only seconds before the gate lit up with incoming jumps.
I think our cyno ship got called primary for a while and was being remote repped by our side? I know my Raven was on 10% armour and dropping fast when whoever from your side who was warp scrambling me died and I was finally able to warp.
