During the incursion in Huttaken, I managed to... acquire some interesting prode data from the other side of the WH.
While the data was streaming I was so focused on trying to correlate starcharts to get a fix on the system... that i didn't register the ships... So many ships...
How Do you fight something this big? We need more guns. Big effin guns. Patching a bit of the recorded feed.
good luck. And may what ever god you pray to be a merciful one... I will science you right in the face. |

1+ Sansha battlestations. 3+ Titans. 43+ Carriers. 12+ Dreadnoughts. 8+ Supercarriers. Hundreds of battleships. Thousands of support cruisers and frigates.
What a pitiful force. I'm sure it's not all they have however. there must be more.
The Imperial Navy fielded a force 10 times this during the Empress' coronation. That was a fraction of the Empire's navy. Then there is the Loyal Khanid Navy, the Ammatar Fleet, the various house fleets.
Then there is the entire State Navy and the forces directly under each mega-corp. Noumerous Mercenary factions, the Mordu's Legion being the most well-known of all. Then there is the Federation Navy, the second-largest navy in the cluster besides the Empire's forces. And we also have the Republic's Fleet and whatever force every single Tribe has, like the Thukkers, who have proven to be well-able to produce considerable masses of warships in total secret. And any kind of private fleets or forces the Federation's member nation may or may not have.
And on top of this, should they chose to get involved, we might even have the Angel Cartel, though I find their involvement to assist the Empire a very far stretch of the imagination.
On top of all of that again, we have the near infinite array of Capsuleer-owned ships of every type and number, lining up against Nation.
Their assaults are futile and serve only to unify our anger against them. We might well see Sansha's pitiful excuse of a nation burn again sooner or later.
I have no fear of the Nation. Nor should anyone else. We should pity them, and grant them forgiveness in death as soon as we may.

That pitiful force could reduce Amarr Prime to a ball of wax and burnt parchments before your navy could stop it. You forget that it has the element of surprise, and can appear anywhere. Underestimation already cost you one lovely core world, and tactical ignorance of this sort will make damned sure you lose more.

I think this is about the smartest thing you've said. Even the imagery cuts off half way through ships, who knows whatelse is there the probe lens didn't pick up.
Fact is as Istvaan rightly put, they can deploy this anywhere and at any time they like.
However there is a glimmer of hope, those Titans and Supercarriers aren't as effective as one might think they could be. Following was sent to me by Vice Admiral Siloneri Balginia of the Republic Fleet, in responce to intel I forwarded about a known Sansha Titan.
Quote: We've been looking into this.
Intel suggests the Leviathan was present in a purely non-combat capacity. Here's what I can share, please pass it on to whoever you deem fit:
Nation titans probably can't use doomsdays in low security space. System-wide interference beacons placed by CONCORD appear to still be effective. Nation tried many times to use carrier-class capitals in high security systems, and each time reports state that no fighters were launched. The same technology jamming fighter bay launches renders doomsdays useless in low security space. It appears that Nation hasn't figured out a way around CONCORD's technology. Let's hope things stay this way.
And while youÆre at it, try to remember how important CONCORD's role in all of this is. They are deathly afraid of Nation circumventing their technology. If Kuvakei somehow does, they'll have to choose between allowing capsuleers the same, or allowing only Nation free reign. Both options are disastrous, I'm sure you agree.
Nation titans are probably not being used for bridging. Nation has a demonstrated capability to deploy massive fleets through wormholes. This bypasses the need for cynosural fields and jump portals entirely û which in turn suggests that these titans are not being used for their bridging abilities.
I hope thatÆs of some help.
Just hope those beacons remain effective.

Originally by: Master Kuvakei No, my dear boy. It's mine.
And if I were to hazard a guess, it's also the source of your recently gained wormhole mastery. Who knows what secrets a station like that may hold...
If you'd like me to quit guessing, I'm still quite open to bribery. Inheritance doesn't equal ownership, and if they didn't want you to find it, you can bet you wouldn't have. You may see yourself the head of an empire, but you are being maneuvered on a chess board by something so far above you you can't grasp it. I can give you insight into things you might not have considered.
If you use that fleet on us, we'll take losses, but we'll eventually punch through to whereever you're hiding and it'll be another century before you scrape the bits of your empire back together. You're smart, you have to have calculated the odds, the reasons behind things happening.
Let's talk. Just you and I.

It's not Jovian. I'd be more worried about the Sleepers.
Our own intel indicates some startling revelations 1. W-Space Talocan and Sleeper antimatter caches have recently gone missing, moved, or destroyed. 2. A number Talocan and Sleeper technology caches and archeological sites in unknown W-space systems have recently disappeared. 3. A number of Oruze Constructs have become at least partially active, indicating that at least one of these installations is now transmitting information to the others. 4. A number of "Mirrors" seem to be displaying some strange readings, indicating at least one "mirror" in (what seems to be) a network of them has become fully functional. 5. The Nation is most likely in possestion of at least one Oruze Construct, its facilities, and its technology and is using said technology to open wormholes in targetted systems. 6. Sansha architechture shares notable characteristics with Sleeper technology and Talocan installations. Even if only a visual similarity exists, it poses a few questions.
My channels have been a bit mixed lately, so our intel may not be the most accurate, but this is what we have.
* The starfield in the picture looks as if it may be Ourapheh, or a similar, non-station system with little permanent capsuleer activity.

However there is a glimmer of hope, those Titans and Supercarriers aren't as effective as one might think they could be.
Obviously there is more, why I said so and why I added + to every number. Fact remains however that while the Nation force could be double or even triple this amount, any navy in this cluster, even the Republic or Khanid Navy or even the Ammatar, could counter these numbers.
If Sansha deploys everything or portions in any high-sec system and start to attack, then yes, the system might well be lost. One system - the Republic alone, smallest of the four main Empires, has hundreds of systems. If Sansha divides his forces they are scattered out more and easier to deal with, though a few more systems might well be lost, his forces are then easier to deal with.
Fact remains however that no navy in this cluster is incompetent and several has proven this to be true. Especially now when we are at war with each other some elements of the regional navy forces would remain on alert at any time, how long do you think there would be before they respond to any attack? We are talking about minutes here, if that much.
No matter how one twist and turn this the Nation is horridly out-numbered and lose ships with every raid. All-out attacks would be very damaging, but in the longer run all the Nation can hope to do is maintain their hit and run raids, or commit to a major battle and risk even more assets. So my point is, to react to imagery of this force with fear is a foolish choice, when confronted with some facts. also, on top of the Navies there are still a considerable population of Capsuleers available to assist in battling the Nation. Also, your information from CONCORD is very helpful. Titans with no doomsday, Carriers with no fighters... these would be very limited in use, I'd say.
On the other hand, caution and pessimism is the foundation for survival. I just don't think we should be all gloomy and panicking when simple facts speak in our favor. After all, we don't really want to give the Nation puppets any kind of morale victory by blowing this out of proportions.
Having said that I DO wonder about that Jove-designed station. Anyone have any ideas about that?

While the design shares elements of Jovian architecture, it should probably be assumed, or at least inferred, that Sansha has been and is currently in possession of technology they haven't shared, but have indeed replicated to some degree.
Even the sudden reappearance of Master Kuvakei as a reletively un-aged man should raise a few eyebrows....

Originally by: Snake Doctor It's not Jovian. I'd be more worried about the Sleepers.
In the related thread "Attention Governments," the station was confirmed as Prosper Vault, 3-CE1R.
However, the developments which you mention related to Sleeper and Talocan sites are very interesting! I wonder if there might be a connection between them and research being brought to light by Brother Shasoun's remarkable expedition.
Because of the conflict Brother Shasoun describes among the ancient relics he found, I now wonder if perhaps the Talocan and Sleeper facilities might be intended as defenses to the re-emergence of a Takmahl/Talocan-B threat (which might itself by the primal source of Nation's bio-technical and cybernetic expertise).
This would make Nikita's intriguing interpretation of "the dark light" - essentially, a weapon to fight the plague - more likely. If the re-awakened Talocan and Sleeper "antibodies" determine that we are potential carriers of "the plague" (a derivative of Takmahl/Talocan-B blasphemy), it could go badly for both mankind and Nation.
I imagine Master Kuvakei has thoughts on this, and will decline to share.

Well Done with the recon Probe Nell.
I agree with the majority of the assesments posted here,
after the numbers nation has feilded to date and the numbers revealed to still be in what is apparantly a dry dock..that is only a fraction of the military assets available, and it's entirely possible and infact likely that Kuvakei has more ships than he does people to fly them....
I also agree that He lacks the ACTIVE military strength to effectively wage open war against any of the empire nations as he is now, which may account for his guerilla style abduction raids and apparant lack of interest (to my knowledge) in empire military assets, and the avoidance of null security systems. (again to my knowledge)
I do believe he is getting aid from one of the older races however as far as things go, with that number of vessels and "their" wormhole technology between us and those staging grounds the fact is of little consequence for the time being...pawn of a greater power or not we have to deal with the threats as they are presented to us.
Until we can gain more information on who it is potentially backing/manipulating/whatevering nation we have to assume that they are acting on their own accord.

The fact that they can't doomsday or launch fighters is of little comfort. If a mothership hull struck a planet, the impact would wipe out cities, provinces, change weather patterns and pollute everything... if a Titan fell on one, the planet wouldn't be much use to anyone for a while. These things are the size of a small moon, except made of high-density metal, and powered by piles of antimatter.
Considering they've been harvesting our planetbound cousins and granting them the ability to operate giant warships, this may well be a suicide fleet designed to ravage the core worlds. An attack like that could break the backs of all four nations in one go.

Given the size and mass of a Titan, Mr. Shogaatsu, they would not even need to impact the surface. Entering the gravity well of the planet is enough to cause tidal disturbances, imagine if it entered the atmosphere, then pulled back out.
Or, perhaps, jumped into the atmosphere instead of into space. I would suspect the seismic disturbance would be.... impressive.

You are quite incorrect. First of all, there is a direct example of this happening in recent history:
A few of these vessels are massive enough that their presence affects planetary tidal patterns. One notable incident occurred on the small agricultural world of Goral, where a Gallente Titan moving into orbit caused an abrupt shift in tides, which flooded crop fields and farmland. The decrease in food production meant that the entire system, which depended on Goral for food stock, had to be supplied by merchants or face starvation. Since then, Titan navigation systems have been programmed with fail-safes to prevent them from approaching a planet so closely.
As you can see it links to a database about their history.

Correct. It's not a matter of size, but of mass. A titan, even with it's hanger space, still carries enough mass as a rocky asteroid of about the same size.
I'm looking at Captain Nell's image and one of our technicians brought up a good point. Namely, that isn't there a fourth titan flying around out there?

its still out there, in addition, i feel its safe to assume nell's image is a portion of the entire fleet, perhaps only half of it that was there. there might be another four leviathans flying opposite of where the probe was attatched, including the one you just linked.
i have not been told of it being killed. someone correct me if im wrong, but its still out there.

****-poor odds for the little guys, who I would assume is Sanshas Nation. Our only problem is, we can't attack them head-on without incurring the wrath of the Jovians by going into their systems with guns ready to fire.
Would it be possible to stabilize one of those wormholes, jump a large counter-attack force in and get right down to business? Maybe get the Jovians to clear their civilians (if they have any) out of that system?

Titans are not the size of moons. More like a very large island. But no, no moon. It's simple. Just take the hydraulic phase shift emulator and attach it to the trans-dimensional photon emitter. |

Edited by: Klingon Admiral on 26/06/2010 21:23:12 I wonder why there are no Minmatar hulls present. Kuvakei seems to overestimate the brute force of capital ships, while lacking adequate fast-hitting vessels like the renowned Vagabond-class.
Additionally, you probably overestimate the destructive capabilities of a fleet of that size. Even the Thor-type citadel torpedo is just a "baby" nuclear warhead, and the other capital-sized weapons should not posess much more destructive potential. A fleet of dreadnoughts still needs hour to wear down the shields of a space station, how shall they be able to bombard bigger areas on planets. Additionally, a supercarrier crashing into a planet wouldn't be too horrible, as long as it doesn't hit a population centre. Two years ago, we had a Nyx crashing into a station, and while houndreds of thousands were killed, the structure of the station somewhat survived the incident.
I fear that a supercarrier or titan might crash into Jita IV - Moon 4 CN Assembly Plant. The consequences for interstellar trade would be horrific.

Originally by: Klingon Admiral Edited by: Klingon Admiral on 26/06/2010 21:23:12 I wonder why there are no Minmatar hulls present. Kuvakei seems to overestimate the brute force of capital ships, while lacking adequate fast-hitting vessels like the renowned Vagabond-class.
Additionally, you probably overestimate the destructive capabilities of a fleet of that size. Even the Thor-type citadel torpedo is just a "baby" nuclear warhead, and the other capital-sized weapons should not posess much more destructive potential. A fleet of dreadnoughts still needs hour to wear down the shields of a space station, how shall they be able to bombard bigger areas on planets. Additionally, a supercarrier crashing into a planet wouldn't be too horrible, as long as it doesn't hit a population centre. Two years ago, we had a Nyx crashing into a station, and while houndreds of thousands were killed, the structure of the station somewhat survived the incident.
I fear that a supercarrier or titan might crash into Jita IV - Moon 4 CN Assembly Plant. The consequences for interstellar trade would be horrific.
Yes, but imagine if a ship activated it's jump/warp drive while aimed towards a planet. Even a small object traveling at that speed would obliterate a planet, let alone a capital ship or, god forbid, a titan.

To be fair, it's not very surprising. There've been plenty of rumors and circumstantial evidence that he survived, just no hard facts until now. Your signature was nothing more than an insult, and it had to go. Shadow. |

Don't forget that our ships travel through planets on a regulary basis. A ship travelling at warp speed is put "out" of our dimension. And the jump drives seem to "teleport" the ship rather than accelerating it. This process doesn't seem to affect its surroundings too much as the alliances living in the outer regions often use jumpbrigdes to redeploy massive fleets within short time across vast distances, often with "clusters" of ships jumping at the same time.
We even had ships crashing into planets. The most prominent example is arguably the "Kairiola", the ship admiral Tovil-Toba crashed into Gallente Prime about 200 years ago. While thousands died, the consequences for the planet weren't too severe. Although the exact specifications of the Kairiola are unknown, I believe it was about the size of a modern-day carrier. We may not forget that the gravity well of a planet will probably break apart any ship smaller than a full-sized titan.

When that fleet moves, do we know where it will attack? IE; Will that wormhole always open into Huttaken, or could it open anywhere? Is there anything proactive that could be done against this fleet?

A simple reasonament:
Sleepers are ancient people in this universe AND Jove were the habitants of this universe when we entered in.
There's a Jove BattleStation inside a WH AND Sure they need a lot of infrastructure to do WH in a target system of Nation's choice, not very easy to deploy if Jove and Sleeper aren't the same, or at least have the same source.
It's logical to think that if the WH were "opened" for us, and we destroy Sleepers, Jove are angry for that. I would be worried then. The hole of this reasonament is that Concord wear Jove Ships and then would not have salvation. ------ Skills |

Idle threats from a weak coalition with feeble minds. Your opposition is futile and wasteful.
Who among you has a Jovian battlestation with legions of unfaltering Loyal Citizens to defend it in your possession? Or the ability to open a wormhole to a destination of your choosing? You fight a Nation that has been building for this moment for over one hundred years, people, and more importantly you fight against the transcendence of humanity. Humanity has fought against evolution for too long. The Master will lead us to the Promised Land, it is our inescapable destiny.
You see only a fleeting glimpse of the power of The Master. The impurities of the empires of New Eden will be easily washed away in the light of His Salvation, and a new age, an age of utopia for all mankind, will begin.

Actually, all 4 ancient races ... Jovians, Sleepers, Talocan and Yan-Jung are decendants of human settlers who, like the four empires of our time, survived the millenia after the EVE gate closed. But unlike Amarr, Gallente, Caldari and Minmatar, they reinvented interstellar travel after a comparable short time. Until the Amarr emerged from the unknown, this four races had fought horrific wars. Obviously, the Sleepers left this part of the universe and traveleld behind the wormholes. What happened to the other two races isn't known, but I assume they either got extinct or hide behind the current boundaries of known space. The Jovians now have their third empire and have lost many parts of their former empire to the Angel Cartel. Actually, the Jovians should be quite happy if we kill sleepers.
And I propose that you attend a advanced history course.

Firstly, to address the issue of a titan impacting a planetary surface. Collision between objects in a spatial environment DO NOT calculate the same, since explosions,concussion, and energy propagate differently in space than an atmosphere. I dont have the equations directly handy, but a 10,000 meter diameter iron asteroid traveling at 60m/s (max speed for a stock Avatar) with an overall desity of 8.0grams/cm3 (basic iron asteroid) impacting a temperate world with a standard oxy-nitro atmosphere at an impact angle of 90degrees will release 1,790 megatons of explosive force and will create a crater just shy of 16.5 km across and just over 1 km deep at its epicenter. An Avatar, for comparison, is 13km in length along its long axis, and masses in at 2,278,125 metric tons. You can safely assume its density is much greater than a standard asteroid.
So, realistically, if any of the capital ships we fly should actually manage to impact the surface of a planet with any kind of atmosphere capable of transmitting concussion or force remotely efficiently, then everything around the impact site will be destroyed. And, Pilots, by "around the impact site" I mean "in that hemisphere"... (see also, "Extinction Level Event") At any rate, suffice it to say, if the Nation should take to flying their capships into planets.. well. Pray that the ships can be destroyed before they enter the lower atmosphere. If not, then that world is.. well, its just gone. At any rate, that strategy would be one of desperation on the part of the attacking force, and would not accomplish the goal of the Nation as I understand it to be, namely, the assimilation, excuse me, the "betterment" of Mankind.
Since we cannot demand anything of the Jove, I would suggest, Pilots, that supposition as to the meaning of the presence of Nation forces in Jovian space and their apparent ownership of a Jovian station is worrisome, indeed, but futile to attempt to put any deeper meaning to than that they apparently have one. Basically, until we know more, we dont know anything. So, let us all step back, take a deep breath, and calm ourselves. By all means, continue to ferret out the dangers that are hidden amongst us, continue to watch for and repulse the incursions, and above all, continue to analyze and investigate new information as it arises. But the last thing we need is panic or wild assumtions. Please Pilots, take a moment and think about things.

Very thought provoking.
I don't know that I'd have let that idea run amok here on IGS, but it does get the brain working.
So what now?
Granted, this is a cumbersome forum for such discussions. There simply don't seem to be superior options. We are like the troupe of blind trying to describe an elephant. With so many touching a different part, we must eventually bring the interpretations together.
There is nothing to stop a war between the empires and Kuvakei. However, if the Talocan and Sleeper technologies do mean to destroy "everything," we end up in a three way conflict. At first, the ancient war machine will benefit one side by weakening the other.
Eventually, however, both Nation and the empires would be forced to stand against the ancients alone. Even if only as a temporary lull in their own hostilities, should it turn out that yes, the ancients are a menace to all, it would be prudent to at some point consider a joint effort to subdue that universal danger.

It seems likely, though this is a hypothesis nonetheless of a personal intuition, but it seems like that the Jovians may have succumbed to the Nation, just as the Ouria did back in 105. While their are rumors abound that the Nation has the technology to solve many mental illnesses, it seems that they might have a cure for the dreaded Jovian Disease. The subject matter of how Sansha, in whatever form he might inhabit at this time, developed a cure for the Jovian Disease can be looked at his creations.
True Slaves, are more machine than organic humans. I look to them as a bastard child of humanity, something even more shameful than the Gallente Experiments with Advance Artificial Intelligence Agencies in the so called Drone regions. Though, I don't personal experience with them, I do however have reports from sources throughout the cluster confirming certain things.
One, True Slaves seem to be more Machine than man. Two, True Slaves don't seem to have a mental capacity. Three, they seem to solve most mental ailments.
This is purely subjective and often loose reports founded on loose rumors, not something I would my breath to but the again they come from somewhere and all myths have some truth to them.
So to a certain point it feels like, that Sansha might be trading or more accurately forcing the Jove's hand for technologies, such as a Capsule Technologies, Wormhole Creation, Cloning, ect... for whatever plan he has in mind for the rest of New Eden.
One another note, while I agree that recon image displays only a small portion of his fleet that he could possibly possess I doubt he has enough minions to man them all. So it's probably why he's throwing some many armed excursions into Empire space, to not only take people for whatever he lies in store, but also to mobilize his fleet to the maximum extent.
This is all, conjecture based on media reports, private conversations with certain government officials that I can not release there names for obvious reasons and intuition.

I would like to formally invite the Jovian Empire to open a dialogue with our Ambassadors regarding this recent turn of events.
Whilst I am aware the Nation may have the potential to deliver a "cure" to the Jovians ailment, I would refrain from speculation at this point in time.
I would like to offer my services as an ambassador should a Jovian representative wish to open dialogue with any of our Empires.
Until we hve some solid evidencethat the Jovian Empire is playing host to the Nation voluntarily then I am of the opinion to treat them as neutral until further developments arise.

Preden, they are occupying a Jovian station. Claiming it even. With no Jovian response, there is only one assumption that can be made; the Jovians and Nation are working together. You should anticipate finding that the Angel Cartel is among their ranks as well. Don't let attacks from that sector come as a surprise.

60m/s is very very slow, so I find it extremely hard to believe that you would get any crater at all. More like a big rock pile. I mean, 60m/s is what you get if you drop it from a few stories up. Your analysis is ludicrous.

Surrah, whilst they may be claiming that station, it does not rule out the possibility that Jovian space may have been invaded. Possibly with this wormhole generation technology we have seen them use. The Nation may have entered Jovian space the same way they been entering ours, and caught the Jovians by surprise.
I believe to hastily declare the Jovians enemies could hinder our situation as opposed to help it.

I think had the Jove lost a station, especially to Nation, they would have taken to the diplomatic channels saying such. Especially since it has gone public and they cannot now hide it.
I believe the Jove, if not in control of, are working very closely with the Nation, the Angel Cartel, and CONCORD. All of the connections would naturally be secret, and thus hard to ferret out. But there is evidence about.

<Veron Daerth sighs> Pilot Axemaster. 60m/s is the maximum rated speed of a stock Avatar class titan available to pilots such as ourselves. Open your Neo-Com and check the ships stats in the market if you dont believe me. Obviously, the skills of the pilot would modify that speed, and gravity would play a role as well as friction as it entered atmosphere and other factors as well. However, using the base velocity of .06 km/s (60m/s) of the stock Avatar (the titan class shown in the video feed) and plugging that number into the calculator I provided a Gal-Net link to, and using the maximum values selectable for that calculator (much lower than the titan, BTW), you arrive at the number I gave you. Check for yourself if you dont believe me. Since the maximum selectable values (except for speed) for the calculator are well below those of the Titan in question, we can assume that the numbers I gave you were actually a magnitude or more LOWER than the actual results would be for said hypothetical impact.
Also, energy released from a kinetic impact is a function of mass and closing velocity of the objects in question. Assuming the titan was inside the orbital path of the planet itself, the planets orbital velocity would also have to be factored in. All of these factors add up to one thing. A big, life ending explosion. Keep in mind also that our ships use antimatter for propulsive purposes, and are filled with many other things to do not react well to explosions and damage. Ammunition and weapons warheads spring to mind. Agreed, beside the titanic energy release of the kinetic impact alone, they are largely meaningless, but they are also there as well.
All of this goes toward illustrating my point, if the titan/mothership hits, its all over but the crying of the offplanet relatives. Your disbelief is simple foolishness, since I have provided you with the tools to educate yourself as to the maths involved. Just because you "think" the numbers "seem" low/slow/silly doesnt mean the universe isnt going to go on doing those low/slow/silly things just because you dont believe in them. Also, I didnt create the calculator to which I linked you, far more educated and knowledgeable men whose purview of study is astronomical studies did, and frankly, I trust their degree's over your "ludicrous disbelief" in their results.

Capsuleers alone should be able to deal with this threat. I personally have fought in actions where at least fifteen titans and hundreds of capital ships were deployed, which puts this fleet to shame.
furthermore, pirate vessels are generally of a poorer construction and fit less capable equipment than equivilent capsuleer vessels, so I would assume my dreadnought is capable of engaging and destroying multiple pirate dreadnoughts simultaneously.
However, a coherent fleet of a size to crush this would require a number of large alliances working together, which would be unlikely just to fight Sansha. Capsuleers have much larger problems to worry about- chiefley other capsuleers.

The fan fiction department is doing a good job of writing fiction, blowing things out of proportion and its just to see who feckin cares. So all the RP players, Mission runners, and Cry Havoc(cuz they were bored) say that the "Nation" is invading empire space.

While not to be dismissed. I find it difficult to believe that the Nation somehow managed to acquire this station from the Jovians, who are not in the habit of allowing their somewhat superior technology to fall into the hands of the likes of pirates. I concur with your assessment. The Jove need to come forward and explain themselves.
It also begs the question that if the Nation is building a fleet, are the Jove? I don't think we could stop a joint jove/Nation incursion to Empire space.
As for the Nation amassing forces? I can't speak for the Red Federation or Blue Republic of which I am part of. But they love a good fight *grins*.

the problem with that is though the jovian station may not be much of a threat to us directly the tech that could be containd may border on devistating perhaps they have acess to the same tech that jamyl's abbadon was fitted with...do you want to take your capital vessel into that?

You see, the Jovians do let their technology out every once in a while. They helped Sansha start his nation way back. They helped the Angel Cartel get going. Those are the only two groups that have ships that don't mesh with the standard empire hulls. Both are based on Jovian technology. And the Jove helped found the be all end all superior fighting force of our universe, CONCORD. CONCORD's ships can nullify even capsuleer ships with minimal effort, and seem to be in limitless supply.

Has anyone yet considered the possibility of Angel Cartel involvement in these affairs? The fact that the Cartel exhibits widespread use of Jovian-based technology is well-known. I could certainly see them acting as brokers in some sort of diplomatic trade off. Who knows... Perhaps the Jovians are willing to provide a staging area in return for cybernetic technology? It's certainly possible the Nation has discovered a way to combat the Jovian Disease.

What?
WHAT??
Do the words "shooting war" mean anything to you, pilots?
How about "invasion," or perhaps, "vicious territorial dispute?"
A little remedial nullsec political geography, pilots: Sansha's Nation and the Angel Cartel are, indeed, neighbors-- profoundly unfriendly ones. The Nation is engaged in aggressive expansion and trying to take our space by force.
And if the Angel Cartel had such technology, I can assure you it would very much be keeping it to itself. If there was any such inspiration for ships like the Machariel, it is, at most, derivative.
We may be a little mercenary at times, pilots, but we're not blasted stupid.

When Faction Warfare started I said then "This doesn't seam right, There is someone pulling strings we haven't seen yet." and suggested caution. But the Empires allowed the most Chaotic people in the Verse to start fighting unrestrained. Ever think that maybe the Nation had a hand in the mysterious Minmatar fleet that came out of no where and managed to fire off a cyno and jump caps into a HIGH sec system? Or some how brain washed the mind of what WAS a Highly decorated officer in the Fed Navy and by all accounts was a intelligent and good man,Or that the return of a long dead heir who possessed a tech that no one had ever seen and powerful enuff to bring down a ENTIRE Cap fleet in one shot? If the Nation has gotten agents into the Amarr empire and the Minmatar empire can you imagine the devastation that would come from 2 of the Major 4 being controlled by them?
I could take anyone of these and say "Well werid stuff happens" But all of this at once just seams planed to me. Maybe the jovians are helping them, Maybe not. Time will tell and we may have done more to help them then we even know.
Well thats my 2 cents. Anyone got a channel for the Sansha stuff? Cause I keep missing it and would like to add my ship and skills to the fight.

Imagination is strong with this one. But the fact still stands the ones pulling the strings is CCP derivative from rational logic. Still to see how this is a big deal?

I would like to post something little offtopic: The largest confirmed meteor impact on The Earth was created by 10+ km wide meteor 20km/s fast and created 250 - 300 km diameter crater and penetrated 17km deep. Imagine all rocks from crater that are shooted out and shake. I guest large heavy debris was shooted faster than bullet. There exist scifi, where exists planetary bombardment by big asteroids. It is cheaper to use rocks instead of ships to bombard ;).
Fleet before jove station looks like in parade formation. I think this is done by nations who are preparing to wage war. I think they wanted to demonstrate their power ( ships ) and their influence ( Jove ) to us.
There is one idea i have not read here: maybe Nation have not given nohting to Jove, but Jove might want something from us.

A question that keeps being asked here is if the Jovians work together with the Angel Cartel and Nation.
To me the answer is clear. Yes they do.
Why?
Jovians strive for knowledge of all kind. However one topic interests them more than all others: Aggression. Aggression is found in conflict. War is the strongest form of conflict.
The Jovians want a war they can study. The Nation are the tools they use to create this war.
Master Kuvakei and his minions are nothing but puppets in the hands of the Jovians.

Nothing passes through our portals without Master willing it. He wanted you to see the truth.
The first question you should be asking is why, all this time later, the Jove have not come to the empires seeking assistance. Let me give you the answer they will not: It is because they do not want anyone to know the truth.
And what is the truth?
The truth is that the Jove are not as omnipotent as they want the rest of the cluster to believe. Too few of you have questioned, over the years, just how much it serves their own interests to cultivate such a mythology.
You are heirs to a greater glory, capsuleers. Do you not realize this simple fact? Look at the path they are leading you down. Look at the fate that torments them. It is the same fate that awaits you if you continue to follow in their footsteps. I do not believe any of you truly want what they offer, it is just that until now, you were offered no alternative.
Master Kuvakei alone is brave enough to seek other paths. We need not march towards oblivion with the Jove blindly beating the drum. Humanity can still be saved, but only through change that will be confrontational, violent, and at times alienating. These are the costs of a true alternative. We are fighting against almost a decade of entrenched perspectives, this will be no easy task.
Just as this truth will not be easy to accept, but you capsuleers are much more powerful than you think. Master Kuvakei alone recognizes that you are worth more, so much more. Do not be paralyzed by fear and doubt. Do not become distracted by propaganda and myth.
Think rationally about what you see before you.

I don't think there is much rationality to be found around these parts. All I've managed to see are typical binary oppositions and claims of 'WE WIN! YOU LOSE!'
There will always be those who cannot be saved. But they choose their own path, all others can do is sit back and enjoy the hilarity of it all. I applaud Kuv for trying, he's actually a pretty decent lad once you get past all the cryptic creepiness.

Edited by: Sai Renn on 27/06/2010 03:27:14 You are correct Astur, we should think on what the truth is.
The truth? should we be afraid of the Jove, or of the Nation. No, no. We fear no one.
We are the immortal's, we are reborn GODS.
Bring your fleets, Bring all you have, and burn the Empire fleets that stand in your way. But I will advise you Astur, that should your forces stand in the path of the Immortal Capsular's, Then we will turn your hulls to glass without reprise, and without mercy.
In this universe, you are all but slaves to our will. And you exists only because we allow you to. -----

Be warned, capsuleers: Soter's arrogance is exactly what we must fight against. He is a man blinded by the fame and prestige that recent events have afforded him. Look at the way he dismisses the truth. Look at the way he seeks to bolster his own numbers while this world he claims is so worth fighting for burns around him.
This empty posturing may fool the weak-willed and subservient amongst you, but he has not fooled the collective wisdom of Nation, and tempered souls will see the truth behind his actions. There is nothing he knows that could harm us, nor any truth that we fear. We bring truth, we do not hide from it like his CONCORD masters.
If you had anything substantive to offer, Soter, you would have said it already.
You lead nothing but a gang of thugs seeking violence. Maut showed this much. You saw we were not there, you realized this much, and yet you "fought" anyway. Against what? Stop kidding yourselves. Your interest is in glory, in violence, and not the welfare of baseline humanity.
Tell me this is propaganda, dear.
Tell them all I am the conditioned and cultivated one.
I won't blame you. You have little else left in your arsenal.

Interesting points, Astur. I don't think it's really that we're being led down certain paths. It's more we dislike the methods with which Kuvakei ensures people are united in his cause. While your forces don't attack anybody that doesn't attack them first, it doesn't change the fact that Nation FORCEFULLY abducts people on planets and FORCES them into Nation's army. Once there, these people can rarely think for themselves. That is what we despise the most. Individual thinking is what makes us human. Without that, we might as well be drones encased in flesh. It's the chance to think for yourself and change the outcome of your life if you so desire that we all covet the most. Sansha takes this away and because of that, we cannot accept your truth, as tempting as it may be. And so, Soter gains support.

Master is not the only one who seeks another path. There are those who see the Jove for what they really are; manipulators, fallen and alone. We see their mistakes for what they are. We see your mistakes for what they are.
We acknowledge the truth you tell us. You knew we saw. We few. You seem, however, to be making a rather daring leap in logic, Master. You assume your path is better than theirs. You assume your path is better than ours.
You fail to realize that you are part of their plan, and you play into it even now. In your own hubris, you continue down a path so unwavering as to lead, yet again, to folly. You are, yourself, not as omnipotent as you believe, Master.
End this. Let us speak, let us find another way. Your followers speak of beauty, of a shining glory. The path of destruction you seem dedicated to fight through is no true path. It is a path of consumption. A path of destruction. A path out of balance.
You fail to understand that compromise may be reached in your current position.
Look in The Mirror, Master. See the path you follow... the path so close to the one you seek to fight. See the Truth...
...or is it that you already have, and you are afraid of it's implications? Are you afraid your truth is so close to theirs? Or do you seek to take their place?
We ponder this... and the beautiful Chaos you have brought. We wonder if you have the will and patience to bring order to it. True order. Not the imposed order of subservience, but the order of true acceptance.
There are greater foes, dear Master. Perhaps you lack the vision to make sense of it.

Given the number of capsuleers who already think they are "gods," I am skeptical you have spent much time around many. However, you are fundamentally correct in asserting that there can be no progress without struggle. But for a conflict to be a "struggle," the outcome must be uncertain.
Is Nation uncertain?

I will tell you what I told him; I will be here. I will be here until the end. Waiting. What is it that I'm waiting for, my dear? Your Master knows. It is the same thing he is waiting for. You have already said it; I wonder, do you truly comprehend, or are you simply a mouthpiece for your Master?

This is an intriguing dare. Nation possesses the ability to deliver its fleets anywhere. It need not concern itself with the logistical difficulties of traversing space, but can pick its battles precisely. Here you have a challenge from a representative of the formidable Atlas.
Does Nation have the will to prove itself on them?
The outcome of such a contest would be "instructive" either way, to be sure.

Interesting intelligence all around.
Perhaps the station possession is a sign that the "jovian disease" has progressed further than people realised. It's entirely possible that they had withdrawn from the system having no longer had the people to occupy it - and then (possibly assisted by a rogue jovian as per the historical link above) Sansha simply moved in to an empty and unclaimed system.
As for immortality and lack of aging. We are all immortal. It simply suggests he gained access to cloning technology earlier than the empires did. In fact it's possible that Sansha gaining access to it was a motivating factor for the Jovians to hand it out to everyone!

Concord and yourselves are both trying to achieve peace, the difference is in your methods and means.
Concord will more than happily uphold a common law and wait for as long as it needs to for us to reach where we are going.
Nation attempts to force peace on us before our time, through forcibly abducting civilians.
Being what we are we engaged at Maut for many reasons, with those you have stated being among them. you must also remember nation are not our only foes and are not worth our undivided attention - you are not so much of a threat to us at this time.

Need I remind all of you, our immortality exists only because of a shell that sits in a sterilized space lab light years away? We are not truly immortal, we are only hermit crabs scuttling about in an endless sea, finding a new home as we out grow out or break our shells. We like to call ourselves such because we don't like to believe that only a decade or so ago we were as fragile as the "mortals" that inhabit the planets bellow us. We can be killed, it only requires a simple mistake or a spike through our new homes cranium. We are so delusional, we can only stave off death as long as we have a new shell to crawl into. Be careful with your words, as the words "God" or "Immortal" are overstatements. We are nothing with out the people that clone us....
As for the threat of the Nation, I don't think that they would even think of attacking and of the 4 faction's directly yet. They want to eventually lure us out into their space by becoming such a threat to the faction's that we will be forced to make a move. That is when they will strike, right when we think we have the upper hand.
We cannot assume that is the whole force yet either. There is obviously more somewhere else, and after this little slip up, I'm sure that there won't be another sighting like this again for a long time if they're smart. And to just assume that they can't control all of those ships is underestimating the Nation, and I don't think that the Jovian station was just left there unattended by Jovian's. They covet their knowledge so much that to just leave it there would be incredibly stupid of them. I think that they would have destroyed the station before abandoning it there. And judging by the lack of Jovian ship's, I would say it was gifted or at least loaned to Sansha for the time being. What ever the Jovian's got out of the deal is beyond me. But they have always been very interested in the Nation's history. The man that founded the Nation was quiet interesting to them. The State got Capsule technology for military secrets, ship schematics, maps, and a lot of other things that in the long run are really just little in the grand scheme of things. I wouldn't be surprised if Sansha got that station for less than that.

The danger isn't so much the size of the Nation fleet, but their artificial wormhole capabilities and isolation from other means of travel. While it remains to be seen whether there is a mass limit on their generated wormholes they could at least transport a Leviathan. If that is near the upper limit it means that even if a counter-attack through the wormholes could be performed the defenders would have a serious guns advantage, especially as the Jovian system they're based in is well out of cynosural field jump range of 'normal' space.
It also gives them unparalleled mobility and potential for force concentration - while all empires and many capsuleer alliances can field larger fleets none can travel such long distances anywhere near as rapidly and without warning.

I believe what I am saying is supported here as well.

Yes, we might be killed as you say, however, there are hundreds if not thousands of Caldari behind me ready to defend our State...

The thing that makes me sad is that only a very small part of the capsuleer community has given it a thought that, like Ghost Hunter already expressed, their current way of life and also that of the planets' populace has lead to nothing but mayhem. Sure, violence is inevitable and goes hand in hand with change but the way violence is usually applied is... deeply disgusting. A big part of the capsuleers opposing Master come only for the money or for, wait for it, the "fun". Once they hear of an ongoing liberation, they rush to the scene without thinking about ideals or values except for that of the bounty that has been set on the heads of our brothers and sisters. And where the risk is too high for the reward for the credits' slaves, bloodthirsty pirates appear that ravage everything in sight, caring in no way for any motivation than their own... to kill.
What I truly hope for is that the capsuleers start seeing what their past ideals have done to them and what they have become, that change is critical and right within their reach.
To those whose mind is still sharp and undamaged by the far too common malicious intent to destroy without sensible purpose, who were yet to be corrupted by the words of the empires, I can only say think beyond. Enter the realm of bliss where capsuleers already fight hand in hand to disrupt this way of life, supporting each other whereever they can. Unite under the banner of Master Kuvakei. Follow the Nation and make New Eden a better place to live in for us all.

Interesting,
Such determination on both sides is a virtue but to what end.
Will this battle of wills not only ships every come to an end?
No Battle will have all vessels in the one place, All people in the one gathering. And although we have learned a lot from the intel thus far, i fear there is something else that is currently unknown.. its this that is concerning me most.
When the time comes and the darkness comes over us, we will bring the light together to stub it out. But the darkness will never be completly sqaushed and the Light can not reach every corner.
Thus we will keep standing together until at some time there is some form of unity or utter destruction.. before we rebuild and start over again. which will come first i wander and most of all i wander when it will come !
Also but not confirmed.. I was told this jovian station technology given by Jovian admiral Ouria is the only station that every type of ship can dock inside and that its invulnerable to all but the hits of doomsday weapons.
Can anyone confirm this ? or is it just legend propaganda ..confidential source .. i dont want kept out the loop in the future, information can be powerfull

What I mean is that the forces may not be as great as the four factions, the fact that there forces could be transported almost anywhere without warning and with almost no consequence would make the treat of a fleet even a fraction of even the smallest navy an extreme threat. And if they could bypass CONCORD, which is unlikely, then the 4 factions would have to make a response to the treat, or fight a defensive war with billions of lives in danger of being destroyed on a whim. The attacks would be fast swift and deadly, leaving many casualties for the 4 big ones to clean up, it would just be small things like a fleet there, a carrier here, sooner or later the defenses of the Navy would be so disorganized and in such disarray that Sansha could launch larger and larger attacks.
You can't eat a elephant whole, you just take one bite at a time. Although Sansha can do it by sneaking in from half the galaxy away and disappearing just as fast.

And how could you rise up again if your clone is destroyed before your consciousness can even make it back to the fresh hunk of crafted biomass in the medical bays clone vat?

Originally by: Citizen Astur Nothing passes through our portals without Master willing it. He wanted you to see the truth.
The first question you should be asking is why, all this time later, the Jove have not come to the empires seeking assistance. Let me give you the answer they will not: It is because they do not want anyone to know the truth.
And what is the truth?
The truth is that the Jove are not as omnipotent as they want the rest of the cluster to believe. Too few of you have questioned, over the years, just how much it serves their own interests to cultivate such a mythology.
You are heirs to a greater glory, capsuleers. Do you not realize this simple fact? Look at the path they are leading you down. Look at the fate that torments them. It is the same fate that awaits you if you continue to follow in their footsteps. I do not believe any of you truly want what they offer, it is just that until now, you were offered no alternative.
Master Kuvakei alone is brave enough to seek other paths. We need not march towards oblivion with the Jove blindly beating the drum. Humanity can still be saved, but only through change that will be confrontational, violent, and at times alienating. These are the costs of a true alternative. We are fighting against almost a decade of entrenched perspectives, this will be no easy task.
Just as this truth will not be easy to accept, but you capsuleers are much more powerful than you think. Master Kuvakei alone recognizes that you are worth more, so much more. Do not be paralyzed by fear and doubt. Do not become distracted by propaganda and myth.
Think rationally about what you see before you.
This may well be largely propaganda on the part the Nation, and therefore I would advise taking this with a pinch of salt, however I believe there may be some truth in the matter.
"Do not become distracted by propoganda and myth." - This much I agree with. I have long believed that the Jovian Empire is not as powerful as their reputation leads us to believe. If Capsuleers are clearing out ranks of Sleepers in Wormhole space, a theorised distant relation to the Jovians, then it stands to reasons Capsuleers may also pose a threat to the Jovian Empire. Perhaps that is one of the reasons Jovian authorities have closed their borders with us?
Regardless as to the situation I think a response from a Jovian Ambassador, if at all possible, could help to reduce a great deal of speculation. In my opinion at least, it is clear the Nation has control over some Jovian technology, given willing or not.
Beware of the words of Kuvakei's Nation, whilst the power of capsuleers is well known throughout the known reaches of space, caution should be advised. I fear the response from the Nation is partly to press Capsuleers into sudden swift reponses which may result in a loss of clones. We all know how painful that is. The loss of clones may only help further bolster the Nations numbers. Tales have been told of the Nation reanimating deceased corpses. I do not wish to see this become a reality.
Whilst the Nation have graced us with a response, we still have had nothing from the Jovians. Perhaps if no response is made, CONCORD should allow small groups of capsuleers into Jovian space to identify the threat posed by Master Kuvakei's Nation.
There are many interesting theories being aired here, and I don't think we can rule out many of them for sure at this point. The more contact we have with the Nation, or hopefully with the Jovian Empire, the more we will learn about this recent, unexpected turn of events.
For now, I will await further contact with either Master Kuvakei himself, the Nation's apparent chosen spokesperson Citizen Astur or with the Jovian Empire.

Yes that is true of many people I have met, but something like that is inevitable when you take into account the various types of people that become Capsuleers.
You're freshly risen from the dead in your new body. |

I agree, i think that the Jovians weakness was in trying to make themselves immortal, they tampered with their genetics and somehow believed that there would be no consequence. Remember,they are as human as we are, they just are like the rich older kids with the kooler toys. I think its about time they learned to share.

There is so many ifs and buts regarding this information, for all we know the nation has just found an empty jove system, stored a mass of ships there and have decided to stir up some trouble. Throwing some epeen around certanly gets responses these days :P
The main questions i think are 1: are the jovians allied with the nation or in some sort of conflict of which we have no information and 2: have the nation aquired/been given jove tech to field. Politicians use statistics like drunk people use street lights

Yep the theme of genetic sterility caused by tampering with your own genes for long enough shows up a lot in sci-fi scenarios.
And sharing is what the Joves definitely need to learn more of, and not just with the Nation or the Angel Cartel.

It was speculated at the beginning of these attacks that the Jove were involved, now it seems that "theory" holds weight in that it is possibly true. I discerned multiple possibilities from these revelations.
1) A Jovian station has fallen to Sansha control in combat (Possible but unlikely)
2)The Jove have begun supporting Sansha and their ideals, If this is so then the Jove may be contributing to a new genetic program to create "Super soldiers" or may provide Sansha with their famously formidable ships.
3) The station was bought by Sansha or they moved into it after the Jovians left the system.
All of these assumptions are based off my "gut" or from my fellow capsuleers. Of my assumptions, no.2 is the most worrying due to the fact that if the Jove are supporting Sansha then the use of Jove ships in Sansha incursions is an increasing possibility.

Thank you, Eidolon and Albion sound similar enough to be confused.
Now if the Jovians are against us we're gonna have to find a way to sink these monsters.

Edited by: Alexi Thymia on 27/06/2010 11:46:47 I feel like this discussion has strayed from it's initial aim and become a metaphilosophical debate about utopian forms of society.
Let us cast this aside and remember the facts for a moment, please. The biggest question recent events have raised is the nature of the Sansha-Jove relationship, and without official comments we are left to logic and conjecture as our tools. Let me list what I consider the hard evidence of our situation.
One. A Sansha Fleet was sighted within a solar system in Jovian Space.
Concerning this, I do not know if this has be given any thought yet, but studying the star map, 3-CE1R seems to be one of the farest outlying systems under jovian authority. Considering rumours about the limited population of the Jove, it would be logical to assume that this system would be one with rather little military presence. Compare this to the infrastructure of the remaining empires: outskirt systems always suffer from lower security status due to limitiations on Concord and Empire Navy numbers. In addition, since conventional means of travel to the Jove Empire are nullified, Jovian military would have little reason to maintain large numbers of defending vessels in 3-CE1R.
Two. Sansha Kuvakei claims to be the "owner" of the Prosper Vault in said system.
I want you all to see this as what it is, a claim. At this point of time, we have little reason to either belief or distrust Kuvakei's words, as it has been said: we've been shown this intel on purpose. To what means? The Sansha spokes-drones would have us take it as a demonstration of power. Yet, as of now, we do not know one thing:
Does the ability to generate wormholes predate the Sansha appearance in Jovian Space, or is the order of things reversed?
Basically, two different scenarios can be imagined. The Sansha either intruded Jove space forcefully (and hence chose a weakly defended system as clarified above) by means of their newfound wormhole technology, OR they were in some way invited to Jove space and learned about this technology by means of aforementioned station. We cannot say which scenario is the true one at this point of time, however, since the Prosper Vault is a financial institution, we can reason from the little we know about Jove society, that it should not be involved into high technology researching, so there's room for doubt concerning the "secrets within the station". Also, Kuvakei probably wouldn't taunt the Jove after "being invited".
Three. We do not know the status of the remaining solar systems in Jovian Space, and Sansha Kuvakei rallies capsuleers against the "Path of the Jove".
For all we know, a war could be raging within the Jove Empire at this very moment. Assuming the Sansha were the unknown party involved with Ouria back then, it might well be that they've been given the technological foundation for the recent wormhole technology and extensive Jovian infrastructure intelligence back then, which made this - hypothetical - incursion into Jove space possible. We cannot say if Ouria's treason might have given the Sansha additional means to battle the technologically advanced Jove, yet, looking at the facts, and assuming the presence of the Sansha in Jove Space was accomplished by military means, it looks like Kuvakei is "hungry for more" of the Jovian Technology. The sudden allusive comments intended to stroke our narcissism as capsuleers could mean that his incursion of jove space isn't going as smoothly as predicted; it might well be that Sansha is seeking help against the defending Jove.
All this is conjecture, of course, but it's based on logic at least. Also, this scenario would explain the silence coming from the Jove. And in this point, the Sansha peon wouldn't even have lied to us: the Jove probably wouldn't want the rest of the cluster to know that they're struggling within their own empire. Imagine the damage their aura of invincibility would take if all of this were true.

Yes the Jovians have been in decline population wise from their Jovian Disease, and their empire would have become depopulated significantly from this. This is the most logical way The Nation could have acquired a jovian station.
The WH technology could have been developed with the help of the rogue Jovians or the Jove empire itself, or vise versa. That question will answer itself when this is dealt with.
As for the Jovian battle prowess at the moment i have no doubt the only way to defeat them in a stand up fight would be to use swarm tactics, which is plausible considering their population size and that The Nation has been aggressively "recruiting" soldiers.
More thorough reconnaissance data is required of the situation.

Ah. Finally. A pragmatist blessed with common sense emerges. If only more capsuleers had your brains.

Originally by: DoubleD231 There is so many ifs and buts regarding this information, for all we know the nation has just found an empty jove system, stored a mass of ships there and have decided to stir up some trouble. Throwing some epeen around certanly gets responses these days :P
The main questions i think are 1: are the jovians allied with the nation or in some sort of conflict of which we have no information and 2: have the nation aquired/been given jove tech to field.
3: are the Jovians merely using the Sansha's to test the water?
there is the more disturbing thought that the jove are controlling the nation and as mentioned before, are using the nation to study war and conflict. Politicians use statistics like drunk people use street lights

Please Correct me, but I think the following facts are more disturbing than the Nation has an operational fleet...
1.: They have a Jovian Station, which means they have access to thier technology as well.
I think the way "how they obtain one" is not revelant. They have one. But why I think it's a huge problem? As far as I know the Jovians designed the capsule technology. If they were able to find a weak spot in its mechanism, (like developing a jamming device which makes the capsule unable the commuincate with its own ship, or worse, emmiting such pulses/ray which is able "enslave" a capsuleer for a brief period of time)than they will have a huge advantage over any empire's technology superiority.
2.: If they manage to get jovian ships, They will be able to reproduce or assimilate its technology into theirs.
If I remember it correctly, The Amarrs suffered a great loss against the Jove fleet in the VakÆAtioth battle. The Jove Fleet was 3 times smaller than the Amarr one.
3.: Resource War...
I think the Nation currently possesing Richer mineral fields than an empire do. Just think about it... They have Strain, Wormhole space and maybe a part of the Jove occupied regions, which gives them a constant amount of advantage over a single Empire.
Plus with the possibily to strike everywhere at anytime, makes them a honorable enemy. So I would say do not underestimate them.
But by the way, a Nation in my eyes is only an another Amarr empire who wants to rule. Just the difference between them, is that the Amarr is doing it with Vitoc, and the Nation is do it with implants.

Originally by: A'dun Has anyone yet considered the possibility of Angel Cartel involvement in these affairs? The fact that the Cartel exhibits widespread use of Jovian-based technology is well-known. I could certainly see them acting as brokers in some sort of diplomatic trade off. Who knows... Perhaps the Jovians are willing to provide a staging area in return for cybernetic technology? It's certainly possible the Nation has discovered a way to combat the Jovian Disease.
I am investigating the Angel Cartels involvement in this matter, because they do seem to be involved in almost everything Jove.
... Pilots, I'm not so very involved in these affairs just now due to some ongoing problems that the necessary people are duly informed about, but this I just have to say something about, that being, "I'msorrywhat?"
What?
WHAT??
Do the words "shooting war" mean anything to you, pilots?
How about "invasion," or perhaps, "vicious territorial dispute?"
A little remedial nullsec political geography, pilots: Sansha's Nation and the Angel Cartel are, indeed, neighbors-- profoundly unfriendly ones. The Nation is engaged in aggressive expansion and trying to take our space by force.
And if the Angel Cartel had such technology, I can assure you it would very much be keeping it to itself. If there was any such inspiration for ships like the Machariel, it is, at most, derivative.
We may be a little mercenary at times, pilots, but we're not blasted stupid.
Don't be ignorant and jump to conclusions! If you had read the related thread you would see I was investigating the possibility of the Cartel having spies within True Power.
So far, there has been no "official" response from the Cartel. -

Longer I observe the situation, it's just more clear to me that Nation is a Puppet in hands of the Jove Directorate. Sansha couldn't defeat Jovians, even if there were a few of them alive. And is we all know, Jove goverment in existing and isn't as weak as these Sansha speakers would like us to believe.
The only thing we need to know, is WHY Jove would need Sansha. I think there could be only a few answers here. Most of things Jove could just force on us, they have incredible technological advantage and can oblitarate any ressistance. The only thing our goverments wouldn't give the them is living people. Living people for genetical data and as test subjects. Things they need on their fight with Jovina Desease that kills them and which is threath to their existance.
For me even more disturbing is that they want something with capsuleers too. We never knew the reason why they gave us this technology. I hope we won't find out soon in some unpleasant way...

I do believe with all this racket being created we are forgetting an important topic to the capsuleer way of life. ISK, and lots of it. IF the nation does take an action or the Joves for that matter, we the undying children of the stars will reap this field of technology and equipment. And it will fund new research, technology, and building for Empire and Capsuleer alike. I do not pretend to hind behind false or thin ideals. Politics are no concern of mine. What is a concern is the size of my wallet. So bring your little Fleet of ill equipped ships, and see what happens when the greatest driving force of the human race among these stars is turned against you and your twisted kind.

I did read it, thank you.
If the Cartel has spies within True Power, exactly who do you think you're helping by "investigating" them?
If you were actually able to say with certainty, "Oo! The Angels have spies in True Power!" ... who do you think would be the first to take notice?
Hint: his given name starts with an "S," his family name with a "K."
Get this straight if you can, pilot: in the improbable event that you succeed, what you will have done is give aid and comfort to the enemy.
Curse is at odds with Kuvakei. It has been actively at war with the Nation for years. If it has information to share that would be of more use in our hands than limited to those of the Cartel, it will share it.

Originally by: Snake Doctor It's not Jovian. I'd be more worried about the Sleepers.
Our own intel indicates some startling revelations 1. W-Space Talocan and Sleeper antimatter caches have recently gone missing, moved, or destroyed. 2. A number Talocan and Sleeper technology caches and archeological sites in unknown W-space systems have recently disappeared. 3. A number of Oruze Constructs have become at least partially active, indicating that at least one of these installations is now transmitting information to the others. 4. A number of "Mirrors" seem to be displaying some strange readings, indicating at least one "mirror" in (what seems to be) a network of them has become fully functional. 5. The Nation is most likely in possestion of at least one Oruze Construct, its facilities, and its technology and is using said technology to open wormholes in targetted systems. 6. Sansha architechture shares notable characteristics with Sleeper technology and Talocan installations. Even if only a visual similarity exists, it poses a few questions.
My channels have been a bit mixed lately, so our intel may not be the most accurate, but this is what we have.
Surely in the discussions so far Snake Doctor's points have been overlooked. Given the number of capsuleers now operating in (and in many cases inhabiting) W-space we should surely be concerned for such changes in sleeper activity. As many of these W-space areas are linked by 'natural' wormholes to some of the heartlands of every major empire and alliance so surely we should be greatly worried if the Nation (and whoever they are working with/for) has gained control of any Sleeper technology. The last thing we would need if trying to deal with a Nation incursion which could happen anywhere, any time, would be Sleeper drones emerging in any major system and causing havoc.
If the rumours of the artificial wormhole being closed using gravimetric technology is true, surely we should look into ways of closing the 'natural' wormholes too?

At this time we are aware that an Sansha / Jovian fleet is amassing in W-hole space.
Is there any speculation as to where their first attack will be? Is there anyone working on a united effort to counter said incursion? Has anybody setup early warning systems and universal comunications in case of attack? Do the capsuleers of New Eden intend to unite against this threat?

I'm with you on this one, doesn't matter how sure you are of your capabilities, when that fleet moves, it's going to be as a unit. One corp or defense fleet won't knock it down we're going to need a LOT of pilots in ships ranging from frigs to titans to take this on. And even then they'll already have caused major damage before we can bring them under control. so count my Battlecruisers in when the time comes

Currently the Territorial Guards have been relaunched. I hope we will be able to forge a wing or two that will stand besides all the others facing this huge thread! My message for all pilots is the following: Pilots, unite to face this thread. If you can affort to take this threat using a small T1-ship, this will help. If you can affort a bigger ship or a T2 or T3 one for support, this is great! So stand together and fight for New Eden!

For a year now we have been tracking the loose jove tech that has roamed in curse region with the Angel Cartel. Now that Nation has been exposed to be in position of jove tech, we shall come to claim it from them. However I say we hit the heart of Nation, the place in which Sansha made his last stand.

Again, that is an intriguing proposition.
As Nation has no need to traverse surrounding space before making its attacks, it could pick an Atlas system without impacting surrounding powers. Those powers would then be able to decide whether or not it was necessary to unite, Atlas could decide whether or not to tolerate their presence, and we would all know if Nation represented a true threat to New Eden.
Does Nation have the capacity for such an attack?

You got your tech from the Joves and other ancient civs. unintentionally.
Put two and two together and just like with the harvesting your doing to man your current ships, you scavenge. Nothing you do is yours except for circumstance. You are pathetic and un-original.

Lol, Is it just me? Or have the Sansha Nation's representatives gone missing from this wonderful chat we are having? I really don't think they really can do anything, Ms. Mouse Nell has just happened to stubble upon one of there few fleets that really is no mach for the four factions and the thousands of capsuleers that swarm in both null sec and high sec. Sansha can't do anything but hope for a chance to open up a hole in high sec and attempt to cause as much damage as possible before retreating back though to their little hid away and pray that we don't find out how to drop in and give them a surprise visit. I think that the nation forgets who the real power holders are, the capsuleer corporations and alliances in null. Most of the big ones have dozens of titans and dreads and hundreds of battleships, cruisers and frigates. The core worlds may be hit hard, but capsuleers will be the ones that will stop them just as we where the ones that found them. Unless the have a new toy, which I think would be the only other advantage that they would have.

My points are indeed being overlooked. While we specialize in information and analysis of illegal AI systems capsuleers have been installing in their ships and how to, *ahem* disable them... we are also equipped to handle information pertinent to wormholes. WCPistolPete, current CEO of MI corp, has been present at most of the recent Sansha attacks and has brought back a wealth of knowledge on the subject. Our other sources point to a theory that if a ship were to be carrying the access codes the Sansha fleet is using to activate the wormhole mechanism (Mirror?), they will be allowed travel through that hole.
Unfortunately, the only known way to close a "natural" hole is to destabilize it's mass potential. I hypothesize that these wormholes are indeed not as "natural" as they seem to be, but rather a result or some sort of accident. The only way to shut these holes down permanently is to shut down whatever network is generating them.
As well, again, hasn't anyone noticed that this seemingly "old man" Kuvakei looks to be in his mid 40's? He appears quite young for such an aged man.

as a new capsuleer, i've been in space for about 3 months now, in am struck by the indepth technical know how displayed in your posts. they are still way beyond my reach for now. however one strategical aurgument is only shortly mensoined; we have no idea yet what the jovians are really after; some say, that they have become to weak , and are losing therofer stations. i find that rather strange. blowing it up before it gets into the hand of enemies is smarter. have they then chosen sides? no very jovian either. so are they using these factions against us. are they using the "true slaves" to man their ships for sansha's capuleers? to make beter crews? and therefore stronger ships? to combat concord's power shipwise? is that where they need to infade our planets? rememeber; even if it is an alliance, they have still come together with different reasons.

Sansha's Nation has never been a threat to us. They are not a threat now. Personally I would like to speak to Sansha himself, there is a chance here for all of us. Think of the knowledge the tech we could gain. Think of what we could become.

It would seem that they have adopted 3 races of ship other than their own. Amarr titans, gallente dreads, and caldari carriers and super-carriers. Any reason sansha has not yet created a diobolical verson of these ships? It just looks wierd to have these races ships being used in a superfleet of nightmares.

It's sansha's nation, they just have a station thats jovian, its supposed to be really important legendary one. I think CCP was trying to tell us to look at the lore but im too lazy. anyway, i don't think that any of there ships would ever be jovian, they would never give so freely of their knowledge.

Spot on with the comment about the fleet. Wish people would read before posting.
I think CCP are telling us NOT to read too much into the lore because most of it is comprised of rumours and myth.

We are all monsters here.
Capsuleers and CONCORD like to criticize "pirate" groups like Sansha's Nation and the Blood Raiders for their bizarre rituals, experimentation, and apparent hostility. They turn a blind eye to the fact that the capsuleers themselves are no longer truly human. Every moment we spend in a pod, detached from our bodies with our mental faculties being augmented by ship systems, we lose a little bit of that humanity.
I may be new among the ranks, but even I have begun to notice a certain growing apathy towards the fates of mere "mortal" men. We cannot die, but our crews can. When was the last time you thought of your crew as anything but another ship subsystem? Every time we lose a ship, people die, but we only think of it in terms of ISK lost and gained. It's only natural that we think in such a way, and that is the price that all of humanity must pay for our existence. The price we pay is more subtle.
Jove has given us gifts bound in curses. It shocks me that so few among us have considered the long-term implications of both. The Sisters, the Nation, the Raiders, all of them have come to terms with our dying humanity in their own way.
We must come to it in ours, lest we suffer the same fate as Jove.
The Sleepers chose to remove themselves from the galaxy rather than continue down the path that we have now set. Perhaps it is time for all of us to start asking why.

It seems a battle was fought for this station several weeks ago and the Sansha forces came out on top.
Information posted in this thread suggests Sansha were in 3-CE1R several weeks ago and that a battle took place.

I know that a fleet of this magnitude is nothing special to most capsuleers out there. But you have to remember that, up to this point, such huge fleets have been in control of either capsuleers or one of the major empires. Considering that this fleet is under control of such an organisation as Sansha's Nation... The mere thought strikes fear to my heart. -----

All things considered, I'd expect them to launch an attack on someplace well populated and debilitating like... say... Jita...
The economic and political havoc wreaked by that sort of attack, even if there was enough time to notify any capsulteers in Jita to evacuate, would cleanly destroy Empire...

I can assure you that there are enough pirates roaming with discos to wipe out all the empire navies if need be, a small fleet like Sansha's would get podded while still in warp.

Yes but this is of course assuming you even have a crew, with current techology in capsules we have no need for the use of a crew, the ship and all it's funcictions are controlled by our thoughts from inside the pod. With the help of drones, so people are only die if you like to imploy people to get on your ship in the first place. I however prefer my machines. Prefer them over the faults and imperfection of humans.

As far as my own research into the topic has been concerned, the fleet size we have seen could be only a reserve section, or maybe a small retinue fleet. Who knows whats out there, and who knows what they can do at this point in time. We don't have the intel to go in and physically count every single ship in the fleet, nor are we going to send a Capsuleer into the WH.
All of what we know beside the initial probing of the WH, is nothing. How can we even say that our weapons can hurt these ships? That my friends, is a question to strike at least some fear into us all.

Destroy the cloning facilities, inject some virus to garble the cloning process and what then? Where is all the glory and immortality then when you wake up in a clone not even able of forming a single coherent thought?
And invincible? Tell that Concord the next time when someone forgets to pay the bill to them and they turn off all the stations. You think that Concord cannot be invaded and controlled by someone else, to cause havok amongst capsuleers?

Slight problem guys... a probe I launched through a high security space wormhole ended up in an unknown system... before it could take any relevant pictures or scans it got blown up but the one thing that struck me as odd was a garbled transmission that the probe relayed back before it was destroyed, here's a transcript:
Unknown 1: The Master's plan ..-static-.. enemy probe detected, initiating ...-static-... shipyard must be kept hidden.... -end of transmission- .
Now this was well over a year ago, never gave it a second thought up until I read up on the recent incidents, could it be possible I stumbled across a staging area? and if so... could it be possible that the Nation has hidden capital shipyards in wormhole space? The odds are against us if the Nation's technological level has advanced to the point at which it can recalibrate and successfully deploy space installations in wormhole space and would also explain why everyone is having a hard time believing the Nation's new strength... I fear though...that the Nation's grand/main fleet is many orders of a magnitude bigger than the one we've seen as ,excluding the capital ships, many of those ships can be readily manufactured in the known Sansha stations in the Stain region.

Originally by: Veron Daerth Firstly, to address the issue of a titan impacting a planetary surface. Collision between objects in a spatial environment DO NOT calculate the same, since explosions,concussion, and energy propagate differently in space than an atmosphere. I dont have the equations directly handy, but a 10,000 meter diameter iron asteroid traveling at 60m/s (max speed for a stock Avatar) with an overall desity of 8.0grams/cm3 (basic iron asteroid) impacting a temperate world with a standard oxy-nitro atmosphere at an impact angle of 90degrees will release 1,790 megatons of explosive force and will create a crater just shy of 16.5 km across and just over 1 km deep at its epicenter. An Avatar, for comparison, is 13km in length along its long axis, and masses in at 2,278,125 metric tons. You can safely assume its density is much greater than a standard asteroid.
60m/s is very very slow, so I find it extremely hard to believe that you would get any crater at all. More like a big rock pile. I mean, 60m/s is what you get if you drop it from a few stories up. Your analysis is ludicrous.
Surely when the avatar enters the atmosphere of the planet gravity will take over and force it down at a much higher speed. Out.

Edited by: CrimsonRockWolf on 03/07/2010 19:30:54 60 m/s... slow? that's 216 km/h, to put it in perspective... if you hit a tree at that speed head on you'd slice your car in half down the middle and we're talking about a titan (millions upon millions of tons of metals) colliding with a planet... I'll have to put this in perspective as well... you could, if you hit the right spot at that speed with that much mass, destroy the planet's habitability (hit an active fault line or another spot where the planet's crust is thinner and you might just crack the planet or turn it into a ball of superheated plasma in any case the event itself will **** the entire planet due to increased tectonic activity, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and the inevitable dust clouds blotting out the sun).

I wake up after a year long cryogenic treatment, and what do I see? Capsuleers discussing who is stronger then whom, with no second thought spent on what they are seeing in the image.
The reason this doesn't look like a Gallente station, is... the station is not in the camera image. One has to wonder whether it even still exists.
Mr. Kuvakei, when you say this thing is yours, you mean it quite literally, don't you. This is your capital ship. It is also a Jovian Mothership, which by any other standards is a Titan, like the other ships surrounding it. And if I recall my history lessons correctly, one of those things was responsible for the destruction of most of the Ammar fleet.
Now, there are only two ways for you to get one of those: you got it from the defecting Jove admiral (would he really have access to one of those?), or you refurbished a Jovian Mothership wreck.
Analysing the force carefully... You do create those out of our wrecks, don't you. There would be no other reason for your fleet to be such a rag-tag assembly. In fact, that is a pretty smart way to deal with the enormous amount of resources that creating a Titan takes, even if you have an entire Nation at your disposal.
In any case, if Sansha managed to restore the Mothership's weaponry, whoever gets to battle this fleet will have to deal with losses as heavy as those of the Ammar fleet during their assault on the Jove. So much for the irrelevant occupied Jove station.
Now, as everyone can see from my relationships with the empires, I am not interested in politics or upholding one nation above another. I am, however, interested in new technology. I will probably have to re-learn using the current generation of scan probes, but I am sure it will be well worth it. (Congratulations, Mouse. If this ... disease wouldn't have gotten me a year ago, I would have had the same goal as you.)
As to Sansha not having original thoughts: we have a saying where I come from: Better well-stolen than badly invented. Looking at the ship designs of other outlaw factions, I am sure some capsuleers will agree.

An attack on Jita? It would have to be atleast a twin titan backed fleet because more capsuleers would show up than flies to a pile of cow poo.
Also as it is the main market hub it is WELL defended by forces and merc groups. Sansha would be a pure moron to attack there.

And that's when they will get our core worlds. Gather hundreds of thousands of capsuleers there and then bam. Attack alarms begin to ring all over the universe.

Who cares about the Jovians? If they wanted to kill us then they would have done so long ago, instead they gave us capsuleer technology and thus gave us more power. They don't want to wage war against us, they want us to wage war against someone else.
The thing that should concern us is what frightens the Jovians to such a degree that they arm us with new technology. We all know they have manipulated their genepool and weeded out basic and necessary instincts. They don't even have aggression. Combine that with the fact that they seek out the only State of warriors in New Eden, the Caldari, and give us capsuleer technology and it becomes pretty obvious what kind of plans they have for us all.
The Sleepers can't be the threat that worries the Jovians. They are just a pointless group of vagabonds, withering away while our capsuleers farm them for loot. Caldari tax collectors are a far more serious threat then the Sleepers. The Jovian boogieman is either Terrans or some unknown race we know nothing about yet. In either case, the Jovians will be our allies when the day comes when we will have to face this threat.
The size of the Jove fleet is not what we should worry about, if we now have to worry about the Jovians. It's their technology that can defeat us with the flick of a switch. I just hope that the Jovians let us fight with them willingly instead of hacking our capsuleer brains, or intercepting our signals when we clone, and reprogram us to become their drones. It would suck to wake up as a Jove warrior drone one day. Preferably, they would actually protect us so this unknown enemy don't mess with our minds in similar ways.

Edited by: Jovan Geldon on 10/07/2010 23:00:22 As I see it, the presence of Sansha forces in Jovian space can only mean one of two things:
1. The Nation and the Directorate are working together to some unknown end. 2. The Nation has attacked the Directorate and taken the system (or at least, the station) by force.
Despite the undoubted prowess of the Jovian Navy, the boastful communiques left in this forum by Sansha representatives combined with the reports of a battle in 3-CE1R lead me to believe that the latter is the more likely of the two.
Unlike some of my other capsuleer bretheren I make no claims to Godhood, or indeed precognitive prowess, but the way things are progressing I can envisage these events marking a new chapter in the history of New Eden. If my previous assumption is correct then the Jovians have shown themselves to be deficient in mataining their soverignty, and (albeit probably later rather than sooner) they may decide that their only recourse is to open their borders and elicit help from the capsuleers they themselves helped to create.
All this is of course speculation, and I do not mean to imply that the loss of one system marks a seismic shift in centuries-old Jovian foreign policy. Having said that, if things continue as they have been and more Jovian systems fall to Kuvakei's forces, then things could get very interesting indeed...

Also, if Joves are helping them/working with them, why the need to acquire a jovian ship in the Ansem event, rather than asking for a specimen from their partners? --- Kat |

You may have a point there Jovan. I mean in any of the scenarios other capsuleers have put forward, what I think the only thing we know for a fact here is Nation is in Jovian space.
Something that has particularly peaked my interest about the recent affairs, is how Nation has at their disposal the ability to create wormholes. While no doubt his followers would lead us to believe they have control over them, it is possible that they don't. In fact the relatively sparse number of attacks by Nation within the Core systems as well as the recent probe being sent from the outer regions that they still have an issue with locking a target location.
We see the same problem with Jump Drives, sure you could use them without Cynosural Field; but you could end up anywhere. Still... it is definately interesting.

I wonder about the effectiveness of moving multiple capital-type ships through wormholes. My corporation specializes in deep-reconnaissance through unknown space and I've never seen (or heard of) a wormhole stable enough to transfer more than three or four dreadnaught-class capitals without collapsing.
Now, if the Sansha managed to figure out how to direct the formations of wormholes or artificially stabilize the beasts... whole 'nother game there. While I have some contacts in Stain, it's been years since I last worked those spaceways. |

Back at the dawn of all of this, yes.
Intermittently since then, yes.
Stain is as it long has been: a slowly swelling mass of Nation conventional craft and facilities.
It's the lizard's twitching, blue tail, pilot: so obvious, so vivid, that it must be the most important part. Only, it appears to be entirely ancillary to Kuvakei's present doings. His fleet, wherever it originally came from, seems to be operating apart from and independent of the Nation's more easily-accessible holdings.
We can probably do the Nation some damage in Stain, but the potential is likely neither more nor less there than it ever has been. There is always the possibility of stumbling upon something crucial, but it seems at least equally likely to me that said "something" would be found somewhere usually not considered to be associated with the Nation at all.
Sort of silly to hide something important where you know people will go looking for it, yes?

Sleepers remain to be positively identified as a threat. They are hardly more than mindless drones, any intelligence can easily be attributed to complex interaction, like termites or ants.

2. A number Talocan and Sleeper technology caches and archeological sites in unknown W-space systems have recently disappeared.
Me, my corporation, and my entire alliance would have nothing to do with that.

3. A number of Oruze Constructs have become at least partially active, indicating that at least one of these installations is now transmitting information to the others.
Ok, this one is our bad. I told Tempa not to go pushing buttons.
Quote:
4. A number of "Mirrors" seem to be displaying some strange readings, indicating at least one "mirror" in (what seems to be) a network of them has become fully functional.
The mirror facilities are of quite some use to those that know their inner workings. We've made quite some advancements in communication technology by getting them operational. Along with advances in Afterburner and Micro-warp-drive technology derived from Blackhole class systems, weapon and ecm advancements from magnetars, shield advancements derived from pulsar systems. These testing environments are beautiful works of art.
Quote:
5. The Nation is most likely in possestion of at least one Oruze Construct, its facilities, and its technology and is using said technology to open wormholes in targetted systems.
Who isn't? They're just there for the taking.
Quote:
6. Sansha architechture shares notable characteristics with Sleeper technology and Talocan installations. Even if only a visual similarity exists, it poses a few questions.
If my memory serves, Sansha ship design was done by a now deceased madman?
That fleet looks impressive, I've never seen a fleet all lined up so pretty before. Lets hope they fight as well as they dance.

I believe... this... is about as "in plain sight" as you can get without giving everything away. If it were as simple as mounting a strike against Stain, it would have been done by now. Not by capsuleers, but by the Empires.
No, there is nothing to find of Nation in Stain that will help the current situation. Things are also seldom hidden in plain sight, for the simple fact that it would be plain to see. Stain is a dead end, the broken remains of a once great society. "Nation" is reborn.
Master Kuvakei has been named; has a single capsuleer commanding these Nation assaults claimed to be from "Sansha's Nation"?
Plain sight... my boy, everything is in plain sight if you know where to look. There is no sense in hiding it.
Quote: "Face the enemy as a solid wall For faith is your armor And through it, the enemy will find no breach Wrap your arms around the enemy For faith is your fire And with it, burn away his evil" - The Scriptures, Amarr Askura 10:3
Perhaps we should put our differences aside. Caldari, Gallente, Amarr and Minmatar, and as capsuleers face this threat where we can meet it; in space, on our terms. Let the Empires face the remnants of Kuvakei's shattered dream, let us, the heirs of a greater glory be the armor for those who can not protect themselves.
As capsuleers, our strength is not in never falling, but in raising ourselves up to even greater heights when we do.

Unfortunately with the purported worm-hole abilities of the Nation, the nation may not have to face the empire navies directly. A strategic strike to cause chaos or severe damage or lose of life is more likely. The days of smashing fleets against each other may very well be over. A disabling strike against CONCORD (like the one purpritrated by the elder and thunker fleets during the same time as the attack on Caldari prime) or at major military production hubs could cause more damage than any frontal assault. If concord were to go down all most all capsuleers would be at each otherÆs throats. The cost of the losses would sky rocket to the billions in an hour. This would effectively eliminate most capsuleers as a threat and may very well tie up the navies as well while they attempt to quell the violence. If the Nation has any sort of strategic knowledge they would split that fleet into task forces and strike at important targets.

Here's a thought about location and "plain sight."
Everyone is looking at that image and concentrating on the ships.
Take a close look at the sun. About what spectral class do you think? G or K? About how many AU from that star is this fleet? It looks like 1-5, very close in. LetÆs look at the traces gasses around this system.
Now let's look at the stars in the background. Can we see any known constellations? If we can correctly identify some of those stars, then we can (with some basic triangulation) determine if this image is indeed from Stain and not from, say, somewhere in Yulai.
Not that I doubt Captain NellÆs probe. But some extra verification on the location couldnÆt hurt.

I would again point to CONCORD's stance on the matter, cautioning against hubris. There is a reason no Empire has entered Jove space in a long, long time; at least without permission. If the Jove are silent, I doubt anyone would risk entering their space without prior consent.
Perhaps that is a clue, hmm?
Oh, I almost forgot. Exactly what is it that you are after?

I believe this was already mentioned already, however I would like to restate this and emphasize this very important point. While the Prosper Vault station in 3-CE1R is likely not an important station in of itself (from a Jovian perspective), the point of primary concern here is the location of the station, 3-CE1R. As most of you may know (or not know), 3-CE1R is the capital of the Jove Empire. How the Sansha managed to capture a station in the capital system of the Jove Empire is not clear, although there were reports mentioned some time ago that a battle took place in that system a few days before capsuleer Mouse Nell discovered the Sansha fleet in front of Prosper Vault. I fear that the Nation might be receiving help from some unknown faction, be it a group of traitorous Jovians or a hidden Order that is more powerful than the Jove.

Could it be that these two groups are working together or at least that the Sansha has something that the Jove desperately need? Could the Jove's very survival as a race depend on what support the Sansha can provide?

Edited by: a newbie on 24/07/2010 16:43:31 I have arrived late into this discussion, but it appears that each detachment is made up of the following:
Each Division (Per Titan) 1x Titan 2x Wyvern 4x Moros 9x Chimera 180x Nightmare 360x Phantasm 900x Succubus
Under the assumption that 3 Titans were all that were present, that would present figures in the range below: 3x Titan 6x Wyvern 12x Moros 27x Chimera 540x Nightmare 1080x Phantasm 2700x Succubus
Now this leaves the structure in the background. Its size is indicative of a titan or mobile command platform. That's one bothersome fleet there. Please re-size your signature to the maximum allowed of 400 x 120 pixels with a maximum file size of 24000 bytes. Zymurgist |

Collision between objects in a spatial environment DO NOT calculate the same, since explosions,concussion, and energy propagate differently in space than an atmosphere. I dont have the equations directly handy, but a 10,000 meter diameter iron asteroid traveling at 60m/s (max speed for a stock Avatar) with an overall desity of 8.0grams/cm3 (basic iron asteroid) impacting a temperate world with a standard oxy-nitro atmosphere at an impact angle of 90degrees will release 1,790 megatons of explosive force and will create a crater just shy of 16.5 km across and just over 1 km deep at its epicenter. An Avatar, for comparison, is 13km in length along its long axis, and masses in at 2,278,125 metric tons. You can safely assume its density is much greater than a standard asteroid.
60m/s is very very slow, so I find it extremely hard to believe that you would get any crater at all. More like a big rock pile. I mean, 60m/s is what you get if you drop it from a few stories up. Your analysis is ludicrous.
60m/s is QUITE fast for something that large. A planetary collision event with something larger than a mid-sized iron asteroid WILL result in a catastrophic explosion that would be the release of many thousands of megatons of force, resulting in the extinction of most species on a planet. i actually fly amarr |

I question the ability of the Sansha to control wormholes. Where did this information come from? A Sansha meat puppet perhaps? Where's the proof? Anyone who's lived in W-space knows that a wormhole's natural characteristics can be exploited without resorting to high technology, allowing for limited direction of it's exit.
As for some dreaded Sleeper attack, I welcome it.

The Jovians crave knowledge, seemingly of anything. As we know they have removed the instinct of aggression out of their DNA, and as a result from that and other modifications are now threatened with extinction.
What they are so interested in is how aggression works, hence the infiltration in every empire; to monitor every conflict, to take notes.
Why bother?
Because they still have at least one basic instinct intact; self preservation. Aggression seems to be inherent in every human being, once they removed basic instincts that's when the problems with their DNA's stability began. Perhaps the conclusion they came to is that aggression is a necessary evil in the human condition. The whole point of their study is to reintegrate aggression into their DNA to stabilise their condition. This is merely the latest experiment to that end.
It's obvious the Jovians have the power to wipe out that Nation fleet. Even if the Nation took that station from them (rather than it having been given to them), how do we know the Jovians just didn't let it go? Has there been any other documented instance of any group successfully attacking them and winning? How do we know that the Jovians didn't provide (perhaps through a proxy) the Nation with the technology to turn those 200,000 captives into mindless pilots for that fleet? And a fleet like that doesn't just show up on a weekend. A fleet like that takes time to amass, if it was really a threat to the Jovians would they just let it happen under their noses? My gut says if they're not aligned with the Nation then they're allowing this to happen. The Nation is the pawn in this and we're being forced to be the mouse in the maze.
The Jovians want to sit and watch, study what it takes for enemies to become allies even temporarily, and then aggress a greater threat. Or to see who will turn their aggression for more opportunistic reasons.
They want us to fight, but not to die. They will not let us face an insurmountable foe, we hold the key to their continued existence.

Edited by: iyammarrok on 30/07/2010 13:38:43 am i the only one who has been paying attention for the past 5 years?
the jovians have seen something comming. what that thing is i do not know... but i have ideas.
in the past 5 to 10 years they have been slowly granting the empires, and specifically the capsuleer community access to more and more powerful technology... mostly the technologies of war.
then, during this 'covert' building of the empires into front line fodder, we decide to start figting amongst each other. which from a purely logical standpoint, is a terrible waste of resources.
now we find, a large threat that could cause all 4 of the empires to have to group together and ALLY WITH ONE ANOTHER to combat.
also... i have heard unsubstantiated reports of jovian wrecks being thrown out of the eve gate.... energy pulses and other wrecks at and around point genesis....
i worry too much i know... but too much points towards one simple truth.
the terrans are returning to take back what is theirs. and we are in the way
the sleepers seemingly began to wake up soon after jamyl saruum used teran tech to annhialate a minmatar/thukker fleet. so perhaps they also are either preparing the way for the terrans )as i gather the sleepers are building stations that could easily house humans) or they are preparing a safe haven to hide from the approaching storm.
i hope, and ferverently pray that i am wrong.
may the winds of fate shelter us all.
**edit** @ Vallek Arkonnis ... well... there is obviously a history of people assaulting the jovian race and winning... at least twice in the jovian histories.... hence the reason they are on the third jovian empire. whether those battles were internal, or as part of the ancient wars that we, in the empires, have only recently learned about is another matter entirely.

The First Empire collapsed due to unknown reasons, but we know that the Jovian Elders were involved in it. The Second Empire collapsed due to the Jovian Disease, after which they built the three Jovian Motherships that carried the unharmed Jovians to their new home in J7HZ-F and A821-A. We also know that both the First and Second empires were based in Curse, with Utopia as the heart of their empire.

I agree Mr. Grave.
The group or government who gains possession of that technology could very well end up ruling the stars for the next thousand years, couldn't they?

After reading everyones thoughts and taking a close look at the photo, i'd have to say the Nation is perparing for an attack. I will also have to say this is probably a small portion of their fleet. I know i might sound far fecthed in this idea, but if you think strategicly what would be the best way to cause a commotion amongst us capsuleers and with the heads of the empire. This is one way to keep us from seeing past the truth and keeping us to bicker amongst one another. It's true we don't have much information on the situration, but isn't that what we should be doing. Shouldn't we be trying to figure out what the Nations true goals are?
As for the Joves' being involed, all i can really say is, i'm not sure. I can spectulat like everyone else but i'd rather have some facts to go off of, before making a true statment. If someone has information on this please let us know, this would give us a bigger insight on the problem that lies before us.
For the last point that i came across and have ponder much on, the situration with CONCORD. They have alot of power, though they don't use this power cept doing certain times, the problem i see with them is they have a source of technogoly, that for some reason out stips most capsuleers and empires combine. Yes i do know that Jove technogoly is what help bring CONCORD into existence, the problem i see is this: If the Nations found out how to use Jove technogly from the station they have in their possesion, wouldn't this in terms allow them to take control of CONCORD? CONCORD being the means of preventing captial ships fighting in high secuity space, keeping the peace between the 4 empires, and making sure we capsuleers don't get too out of hand. If the Nation were to gain control of CONCORD though Jove technogoly, wouldn't their plans be a bit closer to completetion. Which means they can in turn take what they truly desire, every living being in the galaxy.
Maybe my theories are a bit far fecthed but i truly believe that we might have a greater problem on our hands if we don't take action sooner instead of later. Of course we need more facts and information on the situration. Only then would we be truly perpared for what will take place. I hope that by sharing the theories i have will help unravel this mystery.

A thought occurs.
Pound for pound, we capsuleers are worth a lot more than the average Sansha drone. Or really, the average anything.
If Sansha's stumblegoons have found a way to Jovian space, why haven't we? We are supposed to be better than them. I suggest we re-focus our campaign from the defensive, where it has conclusively proven to be completely ineffectual... and go on the offensive. No more capsuleer rallies to defend systems as Sansha attacks pop up, because those end up with hundreds of thousands taken away, even with the best resistance we can muster.
It's clear the Jovians are no longer capable of holding their own space. Perhaps it is time we bashed our way through the wormholes until our ships are parked on main street, Joveville. Perhaps it is time we seized the technology they were unwilling to employ due to their existential malaise. Unlike them, we still have a reason to keep living.

They are not limited by CONCORD regulations on what they can experiment with and/or on. We are. Perhaps Haeldone Dorgiers can answer this question; if we capsuleers presented a potential technology to counter this threat would they want us to use it? If we presented the schematics of a "device" (if it were even possible) that could do exactly what Nation can with these point defect anomalies, would they let us use it?
It's not that there is no way to get there. It's that we're not allowed to. If capsuleers had the technology of the Jove it would be the end of the Empires, and potentially us.
I don't think we have the numbers - yet - for such an undertaking, and we certainly do not have the unity that such a task would require. We would be at each other's throats for a larger take, more resources, better fights. Of course that also puts into sharp contrast the apparent position of Sansha's Nation.
I agree. The defensive battles need to end. We are making no progress, and Sansha's Nation has the advantage. They can apparently choose the time and place of an engagement, and by this time should understand the extent of our response capabilities. We need more information and better tools to effectively confront this threat.

Originally by: Ellis Croix It's that we're not allowed to.
It would be very useful if we could use technology we already have (but which CONCORD bans from use in Empire) to speed our defensive response to Nation. I'm specifically thinking about jump bridges and cyno's. I don't know about everyone else but setting up a small jump bridge network for SYNE/FCORE fleets would be very useful and might save many lives.
With regards the state of the Jovian people I think the revelations of this True Plague creature are very grave. It can obviously remotely hack implants when it's in close proximity of someone, kill them, and animate their body, and, it can do it to someone with highly advanced implants. If the recent information is correct she took out an entire research station full of true slaves, single handedly. Who knows what True Plague did to any Jovians who are not in stasis, nor what malevolent surprises she may have left behind.
Personally I'm planning on deploying a ship with it's own clone vat and cloaking system as soon as I can. Just imagine if it got loose on a station with our clones in it? |

A thought occurs to me. Perhaps the exact purpose of Sanshas atacks is to draw to our atention that he has control of Jovian Technology. Imagine that you had the power to atack anywhere, any place at any time. Imagine you could call up wormholes at your own free will and then use them to move massive numbers of ships across the galaxy instantly. You could hit your enemies any time, any where from anywhere with whatever you wanted. Now what would you give for this power? How many people would you be willing to kill? What reasources would you not expend to gain control of such an ability?
Perhaps Sanshas true design is to devide us all over our desire for this strange new Tech of his. There isn't a capsuleer in the galazy who would not sell his soul for such a tech, even if it were just so he could re-sell it to another for billions. And what would happen if the capsuleers were on the verge of aquiring such tech? Would not the Empires themselves fight to the death to obtain it, even if it were solely to prevent the capsuleers from having it? Can not the same be said for CONCORD?
No friends it seems to me that the best way for Sansha to devide us all is by filling us all with such a great desire for his own powers that we tear each other apart fighting for it. It would be all the powers of New Eden destroying each other for possesion of this new technology, and all the while Sansha slinks around in the backround completely unnoticed, doing whatever he pleases while the galaxy tears itself apart around him.
We must be very careful indeed.

Edited by: Rongidge on 10/08/2010 20:02:37 There was a interesting thought: the terrans are coming back.
however, i dont think that this is entirely true. I remember reading something about "hidden, cloaked and hard to find" terran stations in our universe. Maybe the Nation stumbled upon one.
and to all the sansha loyalists: since you dont tell us Kuvakeis plan it can only mean that we CAN stop it, so dont feel "almighty". Real power comes from differences that are united, from bonds that are forged in war, either with friends, allies or enemies and i will NOT stand idly by while you take away the freedom of the people. if they want to join your ranks, i will not stand in their way, mostly cause this is the way i recruit the crews of my ships.
PS: if somebody is interested in a new kind of counteroffensive that could help us make our defense even more devastating, write me a evemail and i will relay some of the details to you.

Personally i think your a bit off. Even if you did manage to pull off what you say, I truly believe everybody would stomp it down, quickly as possible. Your efforts to stip people of their free will, will grant even more people the power to fight you and the Nation. Though many would join the battlefields, i know i'm no fighter. Does that mean i'll just sit back and watch, well kind of. I will do my part by mining every roid i see and sending it off to those who need it most, mainly those who are making the ships for our brave soldiers fighting the Nation.

Very well Vlandril, please keep in mind I am no Amasador or Spokesman of the Nation however it is the civic duty of all citizens of Nation to help dispel the darkness surounding our utopia.
it is comonly known the Nation was founded some hundred years ago by the Master. He had imaganed a world of no constraints, a world of order and peace. The problem with a universal peace however there is no profit to be made no war to be had, no racial hatred to prolong, and so the empire united only this one time to crush the only notion of true harmony.
Now befor you say anything i would also like you to know that the Nation is not just a place marked in your neocom, but it is a idea, a desire, a will. It is the idea that peoples of all nationality of all makes and religions can work toether in a comon goal, the beterment of makind. It is in Nation that all hatred, prejudices Stereotypes are striped from the indevidual and what is left is the true human being. he or she dose not wish ill upon his or her fellow man but will work with him and for the furtherment of Nation itself to protect this hormony.
It is for this ideology that i left the waring State and the main capsuleer comunity. so long as one indevidual of Nation survives the idea will survivee for a idea is imortal so long as there is one man whom can cayry and spread this idea to new places and new people.
This Mr. Vlandril is what Nation is at its very core.
Truth is with Nation

We can tell only one thing from this photograph; that Sansha (or whomever is in his place) has amassed a fleet capable of laying waste to myriad planets.
I'm no expert tactian, or indeed an expert anything, however, it is not possible for this fleet to move into empire space as one. It cannot use stargates, as it has many capital ships, and it cannot use natural wormholes, as their mass allowances wouldn't allow for half this fleet, let alone the whole thing. As some have said, they could be in possion of Jovian technology, which would make them capable of jumping over vast distances unhindered by laws and other obstacles.
But how would they have encountered this technology? The Jovians have, on the whole, been reluctant to relinquish any of their technology to any of the four main empires. Why would they act any differently toward Sansha's Nation? Promises of territory within empire space? The Jove fleet could anihilate us with ease. Alignnment of polictal veiws? Again, the Jovians would have wiped the floor with us by now. Did they take it by force? Although many of Sansha's vessels are bastardised versions of mainstream ships, they cannot have been modified so much that they could stand up to any large Jovian fleet.
In conclusion, I think we should wait. As I stated abbove, this fleet has no easy way to reach empire space. They probably realise this, and who knows? Maybe their current agenda isn't anything to do with us. They might be focusing on the Guristas, or the Blood Raiders.

So the sansha have fleet, they hacked into a CONCORD ship, are nearing the 13 million mark on thier mass kidnapping, are in Jove space, and the empires think the Nation is not a threat. That about some it up?
Its not the nations actions that distrup me its the fact that the empires and CONCORD are turning a blind eye to them. With the Jove still silent, something must be wrong. I feel a storm is coming, the winds of time are changing, we are at a crossroads. Do not do it for yourself, fight for others, others who may be saved through your efort.
'What we do now, we do for the survival of our species, only we can rescue us from ourselves. It shall come to pass, that the fires in the depths of our souls, shall return those who will defie us, to the hell from whence they came, for there can be no destiny but our own.'

I have been watching, monitoring and assessing information as it has been coming in. From my corporations own small encounters with Sansha to our recent encounter with the tower in Isikemi I have see much conjecture, wild ideas and indeed rather far fetched reasoning.
We know that the Sansha are not what the majority of us would call normal. The greater majority seems to be against their ideology and indeed methodology. We see their kidnapping of people as an affront to us, to our way of life. They claim they are freeing those trapped by our way of thinking, but we donÆt see it as being freed. Indeed many see it as enslavement, a loss of ones will to the greater collective that is the Nation.
We have seen examples of this in their cybernetic monstrosities that pilot their ships and indeed one has to wonder how a group who claims to be freeing people so that they are free of all problems can claim that by turning said freed people into cybernetic slaves to pilot their ships is ôfreedomö. I am sure that NationÆs representatives will claim it is for the greater good, or that those that are ôenhancedö like that are volunteers, selflessly sacrificing themselves to bring the Nation to its rightful place. Anyone who would willingly sacrifice their very humanity to that extreme, in my opinion, doesnÆt need to flying a ship, they need to be in a bed, on medication and being heavily monitored. I am sure one could argue the same for many of our own pilots, but at least we still show the trappings of humanity, living with our passions, our emotions, something Nation doesnÆt seem to want. Instead, to quote Mr. Runehouse, they want to ôstripö from us that which makes each of us different.
I give you a speech I heard from a Nation indoctrination video we scavenged from one of their transports carrying ôfreed peopleö to whatever gruesome fate was awaiting them. Of the two hundred we got off the ships, only eight managed to re-integrate into modern society. The others just sit catatonic on their beds awaiting instructions. We donÆt know what was done to them, but our best med tech are administering to them at this time.
I congratulate you.
At last peace reigns in out time At last war is but word whose meaning fades from our understanding. At last we are at home.
Those of the Nation.
There is a disease in the heart of man.
Its symptom is hate. Its symptom is anger. Its symptom is rage. Its symptom is war.
The disease is human emotion.
But those of Nation.
I congratulate you.
For there is a cure for this disease.
At the cost of the dizzying highs of human emotion, we have suppressed its abysmal lows. You as a society have embraced this cure.
Now we are at peace with ourselves, and humankind is one.
War is gone.
Hate, a memory.
We are our own conscience now, and it is this conscience that guides us to free others so that they too can embrace the cure.
You have won.
Against all odds, and your own natures, you have survived.
This vid was playing on a continual loop in all compartments that the people onboard the ship. These compartments where the people were strapped into chairs, staring blank faced at the vid screen, monitors attached to their temples and zombie like technicians wandering around.
We were unable to find out whatever this cure was, but technicians managed to destroy a healthy amount of equipment and drugs before we got onboard after disabling the engines.
Sansha is not us. We the majority it seems reject its ideology. We do not want it, nor do the vast majority of the settled worlds of the empire and the territories outside them. What right does Nation have to kidnap, steal and mentally traumatize our fellow people? I say none. The majority says none. Its time the majority stood shoulder to shoulder and removed Nation. We did it once, we merely need to do it again.

We capsuleers are obviously one thing..... We are a weapon
We were trained to kill, to overpower, out date, and destroy everything in our way. Now is the time to reach our full potential and be what we were made to be.
Gods among men. Immortal and indestructible. the weakest of us can fly a frigate alone, the most powerful of us can pilot constructs of such size that humanity has never even been capable of making until now. We can clone ourselves to infinity and do the work of hundreds of men. Sansha will run out of slaves, even if they strip trillions of people from their worlds we can still remain.
Be BOLD pilots, a hundred deaths and rebirths await us in the near future.And each incarnation will be more terrible than the last.

After doing some very very light research, doesn't the nation have more enemies then just the Empires? I am reading through some historical records about who the Nation has for allies, but I cannot say much other then they have possibly the Covenant as allies. Please correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't this escalate to a much larger event if he managed to talk with contacts inside the Guristas, Covenant, Serpentis, and the Cartel? If he has access to sleeper technology, wouldn't he also find a way to control the rogue drones? -------- I am Anti-Macro, I am Anti-Roadkill, I am Anti-Asshats.

Hello.
I have this weird fuzzy sensation reading how all you guys are actually role playing this.
I would like to know more about the philosophy of this game. i do know very well, but the degree of acting in this thread makes it look like there's a lot going on in th e backgrounds (governments, secret techs, masterminds and consipracy theories...)
i would like to have these questions answered by you guys:
1- Are you referring to the Sansha nation as Human Pilots or as the NPC ships? as far as the fleet in the picture in concerned. 2-if they are NPCs, are they self-controlled and plan policies and attacks on their own? 3- i always thought that politics, governments and such are all background stories and what actually happens in game is player driven and benefit centered. However, reading ur comments, it feels like players are following the traditional war policies as in the background stories... or are these NPC pilots and not players..
thanks for sharing.

On another note, perhaps this is the start of the Talocan Invasion, our overseers in deep space have vanished and their racially closest active people, in terms of technology and mindset, have assembled a great fleet to assist them.
The Sansha never runs out of people. They are indeed fighting, but not us, not the four Empires it seems. They are drafting these "kidnapees" the True Slaves are dieing out, but from what? What could make the Jove vanish, and challenge the might of the Sansha Nation!?

Why go to the extent to quote something Ghost said two months ago, now?
Thank you for showing your true colors here. I will reply to your questions on my thread as soon as I can, but I realize after you replied here, that no matter what I say or prove otherwise, the notion of Nation being evil to you is too far heavily indoctrinated in your mind.
Unfortunately, CONCORD is as corrupt as they come, and you seem to be only in it for the ISK.
Why are you telling them what to fly? Caldari do fly Gallente, and vice versa. Same with Amarr with Minmatar. The more open-minded will utilize ship hulls to their best advantage, even it is made by who they view is an enemy. The Jove are no exception, and their ships are superior over all in technology. This is what makes them feared.

Personally, I think a direct attack on Jita, although it would be devastating, is not feasable, seeing that every day thousands of people go through the system for trading. The response by pilots would be quiet possibly large enough to inflict massive casualties on the Nation. Also a pilot in Amarr is less than 20 jumps from Jita so not only the people in system but those around it would help.
I would susspect that the Nation in the near future would start to hit more immortant targets farther away from Caldari space (if they havent started yet). Say an attack on the Tash system or Amarr would be a devastating blow to Amarr trading in their empire.
And maybe the Jove are wanting to study us for a war, well, we could always bring the war to them since they may have the technology but we have the numbers.

From what's been said here, it appears that Nation wishes to, what, wipe out our free will? Control everything? And there have been innumerable calls to arms, "Capsuleers unite!", "All against one!".
So my question is, what is your free will worth to you?
If the empires want capsuleer intervention, fine. But it's going to cost them. These are the empires that vilify me and my brothers, that force us into the far corners of their space because we refuse to bend to their laws. The only thing I owe to the empires is a well-placed plasma round up their respective posteriors.
But I'm not an unreasonable woman. Hard ISK can induce amazing amounts of forgetfulness. __________________________________

13 million really isn't a lot when you think about how many people live in New Eden, too. For the most part the empires are still the greatest threats to each other.

After going through this entire discussion and consolidating what i believe to be the more... shall we say... important facts regarding the intel released by The Nation I've come up with a few thoughts, or more correctly, concerns.
1) Sansha's Nation has already demonstrated that they are in possession of a Jovian financial vault
Kuvakai made it clear that he is in possession of a Jovian station in the heartlands of Jovian territory. Now while the nature of the station, a financial vault, dismisses most concerns of it housing Jovian armaments or ships, we are left with still no way whatsoever to confirm that this is the only station of Jovian origin now controlled by The Nation. My concern is that The Nation, having made it clear that they've breached Jovian borders, has no doubt only shown us but a fraction of their progress within Jovian space and may very well control much larger areas of territory than we're lead to believe.
2) Sansha's Nation has demonstrated that they possess considerable firepower as well as Capitol class ships within Jovian space
My concern here is not that i wish to argue over the power of the fleet we've been shown (the one orbiting the previously mentioned Prosper Vault), but rather it's numbers and ship compositions. The Nation fleet pictured has already been shown as having a rather signifigant level of Capitol ship support as well as sub-Capitol vessels numbering in the thousands... In Jovian space... I would imagine that it's safe to assume the mix of Capitol vessels were not aquired through theft within the Empires but through the same means as any of the other Alliances would apply. Construction. My question though is where was such a fleet constructed? In the Stain Region? In Nation space?... Given the level of influence the other Capsuleer Alliances have in the outer regions i find it hard to believe that such a fleet could be constructed in Stain or moved at once to Jovian space for that matter, without someone seeing it until now.
My concern here is that the facilities, resources and time required would prevent all of the above without being seen in the process and therefore, it seems the fleet may then have been constructed within Jovian space instead... the one place the Capsuleer's eyes don't often wander... If that were the case, given the reports of "conflicts" between The Nation and Jovian's only weeks ago it would be impossible for that many Titan class vessels to be already constructed and operational in the aftermath while unfeasable to attempt construction while engaged in hostilities. The only way I can imagine such a feat being achieved is through Jovian assistance, but that too wouldn't fit with the recent supposed conflicts... leading me to believe them to be a ruse or simply faulty information and that perhaps the Jovians and The Nation are now allies.
3) The Nation has fleets, stations and possibly allies in the Jovians yet we expect CONCORD devices in empire space to prevent fleet operation
I read earlier that one "ace in the hole" as it were we had over any Capitol fleet incursion into Empire space from The Nation was that they'd be subject to the same jamming of Capitol class operation as any other faction would when in Empire or CONCORD controlled space. Now while this may stand true to any standard blueprint vessel, i stated earlier that we may be against ships augmented with Jovian tech and it's no secret that the Jovians have shown their superiority over the other Empires many times before (e.g. The Jovian mothership vs. The Ammatar Fleet). CONCORD however, has their tech constructed using the best parts of all non-Jovian tech... all of which has had it's inferiority proven against Jovian tech before. So we may actually end up against a fleet not only augmented to circumvent CONCORD jamming, but what happens if a Nation Titan jumps into Jita with a remake of Jovian Mothership Weaponry?

Given that we're yet to see visual confirmation of both direct conflict between Jovian and Nation vessels within Jovian borders and the combat capabilities of The Nation's fleets which we can still only assume remain within what may now be Nation space but is still for all intensive purposes Jovian space, I am skeptical now as to the true capability of both CONCORD and the four Empires to contain this threat should it present itself in full force before them... We've seen many times before that CONCORD tech can even be circumvented by the Empires themselves (e.g. The thukker fleet destroying CONCORD HQ after somehow lighting a cynosural field in 1.0 security space) suggesting that the Jovians, or anything with their tech would most likely brush CONCORD defences aside like dust. And the Amarrian Empire claimed to be able to field a single fleet out of many that could easily outnumber the confirmed Nation fleet 10:1 but the Amarrians should know better than anyone that if the Nation has actually aquired Jovian weaponry... possibly even augmented their fleets with it... that even a 100:1 advantage would mean nothing.
I do not support the Nation nor their plans for the future, but i am filled with dread to think what we may be faced with should the Nation have both allied with the Jovians and aquired some of their weaponry, which seems more and more likely now. Should the Nation attempt to declare total war against the Empires in the near future I may fight beside my brethren to begin with, but i refuse to lay down my life in vain against the Nation for the sake of ideals... If it turns out that the Nation has finally gained the menas to defeat their foes i shall not willingly throw myself on the pyres by claiming to be such a foe.

"Master" Kuvakei seems to be a bit upity in how he speaks to us demi-god capsule pilots. He should be careful as to what he says to us so as to prevent his nation from being burned 
But forget about us for just a second, just what does he plan to do if countered by a reconstruction of Jamyl's super weapon? He wants to challenge pod pilots, yet he does not have the means to counter the empire's full capabilities! He thinks he can truly challenge us, what a fool you are Kuvakei!

Is the Sansha's new station in Jovian space, or is it in a wormhole?
If it is in Jovian space, and if their wormholes are two way, then that would represent a critical breach in Jovian National Security, which the Jovians would not allow. Given their epic firepower, and the fact that they soundly repulsed an Amarrian fleet some years back, they would not allow any such breach to occur. Their isolationist policy is legendary, and I doubt that they would overturn it to get a "cure" from the Sanshas when their formidible spy network could probably pick up the information at no cost.
For these reasons, I'm assuming that this station is in Wormhole space.If the station is in wormhole space, and it has ben conquered, then that means that whoever can field enough guns can conquer it themselves. to have a proper station in wormole space....
I could use some extra blueprint coping lines.

Yes, the means may not be what most consider right...but how often is it when the ends bears great fruit. I am willing to join them if it means true peace... Though I fear my past aggressions may know no forgiveness.

Indeed Serra, if you look at the upliftings that have occurred, you will see that the capsuleers fire first too. The Nation merely defends itself while trying to bring more people to a brighter future. Instead of feeling grateful as they should these bloodthirsty capsuleers try to stand in the way of the nations dream of unity, all the while causing strife and pain that is totally unnecessary.
If one really thinks on the situation, it is clear that The Nation works in the best interest of the human race, while the elements that work against the nation fight against progress and for stagnation with the current system. I for one choose unity over New Eden as it exists now.

There is a freedom in death. One that we as capsuleers have forgotten. We struggle to acquire wealth, that we use to acquire even more wealth. To what end? Yet while we do this, billions suffer to put even the meanest meal on the table for their children to eat. If this is what we hail as glorious progress... is what the Nation offers any worse? Or any better?
THAT is the question I pose to you. Think deeply on it.

You speak as if the Capsuleers are to blame for the hostilities, but may I remind you of the devastation that every incursion has caused. Countless millions of souls who are innocent in the conflict that rages in the heavens above their heads. You are welcome to visit the Liandri Facilities on Kusomonmon III and speak to some of families there. Ask them about how they feel about the Nation soldiers who raised entire settlements to the ground because they refused to be "Uplifted" ... what about those taken as well, have you ever met a true slave? God even the term isn't even close, they have no free will; no sense of who they are, where they are, even their eyes just vacant their pupils barely visible. They are nothing more than zombies that will actually cease breathing if ordered to.
Yes, they might be still physically still alive but that isn't living! It is nothing more than an abomination extension of a madman who even after all this time still wishes to bend the universe to his own will and no other.
Say that all Sansha do is defend themselves; but why are we not entitled to do the same? As capsuleers we have the luxury of giving our lives over and over again, to defend those who only have one. Not everyone wants to be immortal and certainly not at the cost of their very soul!
Would like to say though there is an old saying that is quite apt here: "My non-violence does not admit of running away from danger and leaving dear ones unprotected. Between violence and cowardly flight, I can only prefer violence to cowardice. Non-violence is the summit of bravery."
If we were to sit by as those around us suffer while we have the power to prevent or subvert, then surely that would make us as guilty as those commiting the crimes... I can't think of any greater form of cowardice.

The presence of Jovian tech in the hands of Kuvakei is distressing. If it was taken by force then it becomes apparent that the Nation has some technological advancements far ahead of what we capsuleers currently possess. If it was given to them by the Jove then there are the implications of what Jove intends with its manipulations. The Jove would seem to be playing both sides against the middle if that were the case. Giving the Nation tech and having CONCORD distribute tech to counter the resulting incursions without making it easily overcome would balance the fighting. As both sides take losses and lose assets and resources neither would be in a position to challenge Jovian supremacy after the conflict regardless of who wins.
Also note that CONCORD has yet to directly intervene in the Nations assaults on any system. This could be indicative of Jovian refusal to allow CONCORD to act directly.
As for the Empires, I believe that the power of their massive fleets will (and correctly so) be reserved for the defense of the core worlds at least until more is known about the Nations full capability to manipulate the wormholes and they can be certain the home worlds wont be completely defenseless. Therefore, I believe it will remain up to the capsuleer fleets to mobilize against the Sansha threat once the location of Kuvakei's base is ascertained and there is an opportunity for an offensive strike.
Make no mistake, we are already in a war for survival. The most pressing and obvious battle will be and MUST be against the Nation. If we fail in taking the fight to Kuvakei the Empires may well fall. Overconfidence would be a grave error, the Nation possesses something we capsuleers often neglect and underestimate... Unity of purpose. It is the Nation's purpose that makes it a threat and it is their unity that makes them dangerous.

The empires are holdouts from an era with much less technological sophistication than what could be realized today. They're crippling power structures created by ancient megalomaniacs. The capsuleers and their sometimes uneasy relations with the empires are a good indicator of this. Sometimes I'm confounded by the lengths to which capsuleers go to defend these outdated ideals.
The dear Master Kuvakei is at least a progressive megalomaniac. The empire.. nay, the Nation he's seeking to realize is a thing for today. The advanced technology being displayed by the Nation is just one indication of it.
I'm just saying, shouldn't we as capsuleers be glad to see someone who is one us attempt to establish a new order that is specifically one for the era we were born in? Beside such pioneers as the Intaki Syndicate and the null-sec capsuleer alliances, Sansha's Nation still remains avant-garde in this century.
