[184] 18. April 2004: Paladins of the red skull continues terrorist operations based out of Obe, while communicating with our former F-E friends out in FDZ4-A. PLD successfully defeats several fleets and causes serious disruption in the "free space" nature of the NAST. UNICOR fully withdraws from Tribute and relocates deep into the Vale of the Silent at LS-JEP and JZV-F4. 19. In late April, I receive a communication from Conmen, who proposes hiring Paladins to "kill all non-PA ships in Tribute and the Vale." Cyberdyne Industries betrays Rev0luti0n, in a dishonorable gang-gank. PLD teams up with Rev0l, and PA moves ships down to D7-ZAC to fight Rev0l and PLD. THIS battle takes place. 20. I publicize the chat log between myself and Conmen, sending it to Phonix and other FU individuals. Much dissent occurs, including a VERY interesting teamspeak exchange between Sh1ttake and Phonix (I can post it up if anyone is interested in a recap ![]() 21. May 2004: Civil war in NAST. While Jericho and the forces now known as the NCA declare war on their former PA allies, Silent Guard and company, forgotten for the moment in FDZ4-A, begins pirate raiding operations against the entrenched UNICOR forces in LS-JEP and JZV-F4. 22. Mid- May 2004: Several former F-E pilots return from the HELLHOLE that is Lineage 2. The Pirate Syndicate alliance is officially chartered and headquartered in FDZ4-A. Silent Guard, the renewed BioMass Cartel, and Soldiers of Anarchy take the lead in attacks against UNICOR forces. 23. June 2004: Frigate raiding parties become small fleets, and UNICOR mining corporations are slaughtered. Guerilla raiding tactics lead TPS to victory after devastating victory, with minimal losses. Recruitment efforts bring several new corporations down to FDZ4-A, and other pirate corporations settle in Obe and begin camping in P3EN-E. UNICOR is cut off from leisurely access to empire space. 24. July 2004: UNICOR forces are pared down to pvpers-only. The war comes to a grinding stalemate when UNICOR relocates its main battle force to FDZ4-A. TPS begins psychological warfare operations; droves of former UNICOR pilots begin defecting to the Dark Side. Cease fire is eventually signed by the parties, and UNICOR is given 1 week to move its assets out of TPS claimed space. 25. Late July 2004: TPS (based in Geminate and Vale of the Silent) merges with Ganksta Nation (pirate alliance in Tribute), consolidating control over all the former territories of the Forsaken Empire. Much effort is devoted to smoothing over the merger; Celestial Apocalypse continues its anti-pirate operations in the upper Vale and lower Tribute regions. 26. TPS begins operations in Pure Blind . . . and now we come to the present ![]() Hope this helps!

[202] CA and SA? Well back in the day there were 2 political entities in in Curse,"The Curse Coalition"and thู "Curse Alliance"from the best that I can gather MASS had a problem already with some of the founders of CA due to piracy issuses and were already backers of TCC. A war for Curse broke out and its pretty apparent who won. So from then on both have been at eachothers throats. PA vs.NCA/Rkk/mOovolution? PA,established itself as friends to CA in general by NAPing with FE and CA and supporting operations in tribute and Pure Blind (weather at gun point or not I leave that up to you to decide). What the fight is about is not piracy that was just the match that lite the powder keg. PA made some shady deals and were underhanded and whats now NCA got their feelings hurt. RKK goes to war with PA,JF supports their friends (no surprise. Jade I doubt ur above seeking revenge), piracy by now in tribute,Vale and Pure blind has started, Oberon and Rona say they will put CDI on probation, they do and to cool the hot heads they kick Havocide (former Pillar of FE if im not mistaken) from CDI and offer retributions to the berieved pilots who suffered at CDI's hands (of which I was one). Oberon and Rona say that after CDI breaks the probation they will leave PA. They don't. War ensues. Now its a stalemate despite the hype from either CA,TPS,PA,NCA,mOo,RKK,Evol. Both PA and Evo trade ownership of BKG daily and the tri region sector of Pure Blind,Fade and Deklein is a mess. Why is TPS here? Why the h*ll shouldn't they be. They were building a home in Tribute,Vale and Gem and Unicor and a NCA fleet plant them there. An unjust war ensues with the "Honorable" NCA as the aggressors. TPS wins and NCA says they are next on their listof who to kill so TPS flies NCA the finger and toss their two cents in. Flame away NCA! Please stop being a third rate flamer,I am tired of reactivating my account just to kick your ass. |

[205] Halseth, Why not post the PA version of events so people can make up their own minds against all versions instead of just posting along the lines that you can't be bothered and everyone elses versions are lies? Others have made an effort, the least you could do is the same. - Or maybe you choose not to post in fear it might expose certain events and decisions you would rather us all forget? I believe neutrals, many who have sadly been caught up in this especially in Pure Blind are looking for explanations and want to know who is to blame for this war and why it started. Post a concise PA version and let them decide for themselves, I don't see what there is to fear, unless you fear the truth. |

[208] Ill not take the time to respond to every post but in my own way explain what this war is about to me personally. To me, the war isnt about revenge or teh desire to see an entity destroyed. Its about respect. PA showed a lack of respect for Evolution by refusing to honour the agreement promised them, they showed a lack of respect for RKK when they refused to honour an agreement, they showed a lack of respect for COD and FU by bullying us around and manipulating us into the nast. This is about respect and justice....the NCA is a "shoe-string" alliance that has banded together to force the hand of a tyrant - to say "im sorry" Like this sig? Check out my sig shoppe..
