Edited by: Percivs on 28/02/2005 01:54:49 Fountain Alliance Destroys Caldari Raven Navy Issue
As of 27/2/05 at 23:06:00, Fountain Alliance defense forces destroyed a Caldari Navy Issue Raven piloted by Rawthorm of Shinra. By his own admission, Rawthorm had been engaged in hit-and-run operations against Fountain Alliance nationals during the previous week and had been replenishing the nutrient intake module on his pod mere moments before being tackled and destroyed. In speaking with Rawthorm, he was able to verify 13 of 18 kills he claimed for the previous week. Two of the confirmed kills were Battleships, none of them were industrials or other non-combat ships. Among his unconfirmed kills, were two Battleships. The remaining three kills he indicated were not solo.
According to those involved in the action, the incident began with the destruction of Nikolai Kalardor's Thorax approximately 40 minutes prior to the Raven Navy Issue's last engagement. Destruction of the Raven Navy Issue was only possible through the quick response of Fountain Defense Fleet, notably Dinger of Sturmgrenadier Inc, who was flying a Crow at the time. Rawthorm experienced a momentary Gravimetric distortion that prevented him from seeing Dinger until it was too late. The Crow, piloted by Dinger, was able to warp scramble the Raven and maintain sufficient speed to avoid defensive fire. At the end of the engagement, a Taranis piloted by javer of Covenant made an astrogation error and became the second ship to be destroyed, Nikolie Kalador being the first, who was the pilot of the Thorax destroyed earlier.
The exceptional engineering of the standard Raven Navy Issue, combined with the advanced customization performed by its pilot, allowed the Raven Navy Issue to withstand attack for just under 5 minutes from four damage dealing BS plus three damaging dealing interceptors supported by a Caldari Blackbird acting in an EW capacity. Clearly the Raven Navy Issue is a peace of equipment worth having.
Fountain Alliance deplores the conditions which led to the destruction of this fine ship, and asks that Shinra consider the cost to both sides in ths conflict. Clearly this landmark event is a major victory for the defenders of Fountain Alliance and the Fountain region, which has been fighting both fleet engagements and hit-and-run tactics for nearly a month in Fountain Core alone.
Fountain Alliance scientists are studying the remains of this once great ship in hopes of learning more about Shinra, Caldari State, and their methods of ship building. There have also been demands for an explanation from the Caldari State on how one of their prize warships was able to fall in to the hands of this pilot who performs acts of unprovoked aggression against a sovereign state. Some pilots of Fountain Alliance have even expressed their admiration of Rawthorm, despite his criminal acts against them, for his courage in flying such an expensive and unique ship in to dangerous space.
Lastly, and most importantly, Fountain Alliance and I would like to thank each of the brave pilots who risked their ships by answering the call to arms on such short notice. Thanks go out to (in alphabetical order): Dinger, Garramon, javer, kashkaisha, Mernedra, MonkSEALPup, Nickolie Kalador, and Stouman. We'd also like to extend our appreciation to javer and Nickolie especially for their sacrifice in the name of peace and freedom throughout Fountain Alliance space. It was a truely epic battle that will be remembered by pilots yet to come.
Authors note: I spoke with many of the people directly, and those I could contact before posting this, Rawthorm included, were given a chance to review the post.

The guy who owned it is so gonna be getting his loss rubbed in
The people gloating over the kill in the near future should know that it's just a ship that cost a bit of money and I'm pretty sure the pilot feels the same. --------------------------------------

I personally can give nothing but praise to Rawthorm, first for having the guts to pilot such a ship in a war zone, and second for fighting it out even when it was clear he was going down, respect to you Raw <S> ------------- www.sghq.com |

Actually, I think the initial post in this thread is a rather decent way to commemorate the destruction of a very rare ship.
The Shinra pilot is to be commended for his courage, as are the rest of the daily combatants in the Fountain war.

Lol, FA blow up a ship, and immediatly i see 3 threads rising about omg we killed a faction ship. I dont get it. Its a ship, ships destroy and be destroyed.
Great defense fleet this, great fleet that... all you guys did is blow up a faction ship, and you immediatly claim you've won the war lol.
And if you want the war to be over, leave Fountain space and don't look back.

1) Only 1 thread was started by FA. This one. Don't you think it's a little absurd to expect people from other alliances to not post about it? It'd be like you expecting Molle not to make any more 'FA is dead' threads.
2) Yes, all we did was destroy a ship. It just so happened it was a ship worth somewhere in the region of 7-8billion isk. Have Shinra caused 8b isk's worth of damage to FA? I doubt it. Parading your kills means virtually nothing when insurance covers most losses. When insurance doesnt cover the loss though, thats when the damage is dealt.
3) I don't see any claims anywhere that we have won. Feel free to direct my attention to any specific posts though.
4)I also see no reference to us wanting the war to be over. Again, feel free to direct my attention a post that says this.
It was nice of you to drop in and troll the thread Avancade, but really, it wasnt necessary. This post was created from an RP perspective, and was written with the intent of giving Rawthorm the respect he deserves for having the balls to take into into real combat, while enlightening the universe that one of the Caldari State's pride and joy had been destroyed.
I'd have thought you would have the intelligence to see this thread for what it is. ---

Lets not confuse this with damage to shinra. Its damage to one pilot and really doesn't affect the rest of us.
The public portion of our killboard is going live in the next few days. Then we'll see.

lol thats a good one
Why respect him? Its a Raven, thats a bit special. Its still a Raven. He's only flying a Raven .
As for my opinion, Rawthorm took a damn expensive ship out of his hanger to put it to use so he rocks
Think of all the Navy Ravens that are just rusting in hangers across eve , those loyal enough to the state can get them but it seems like that loyalty has a cash value recently. The "loyal" are more then willing to trade there gifts from their state to some rich collector that spends more time mining then seeking combat. It is a shame that only one person has sought to use on of the greatest ships the caldari people have ever created for its true use.

Exactamunda. He withstood 5 MINUTES of beating. He didn't log his ship off to save his ass.
Rawthorn for the win.

Respect is due to Rawthorm for flying an extremely rare ship into a hostile situation.
Respect is not due to FA for making a big deal out of it.
1) You blew up a ship. Good for you. It's called PVP.
2) Raw tanked 3bs for 5 mins. In my mind, he kicked your ass. The only reason he went down was because FA did what they always do. Blob.
3) What the h3ck is that smell...?

[OOC] I cant belive people dissing FA for this post. This IS a special kill, just like when m0o downed the Gold Magnate. That was one of the coolest stories here ever, and that drove me into the combat adventures of EVE.
But I guess alot of people simply dont see 'the big picture'
Big props to Raw, he could have logged out but didnt. That earns my respect. [/OOC] _____________
