Alphea Abbra,
I'm fairly new to the game. I've been playing since late January or early February. A few months back, SCU joined up with **** and moved down to one of the 2 systems that **** owned while filling contracts for AAA for fuel and other things. When AAA started losing their systems in the area, we first were going to move to LGK as we were told by AAA leadership. Then, our leaders saw that Cascade Imminent was failing and hemorrhaging members and corps. So, our leaders sent an expedition to Cascade space and found a couple of nice systems. It was decided to see about taking those over as Cascade Imminent no longer seemed to be active. For weeks, we had people in those two systems and the surrounding Cascade Imminent systems hoping to find someone there to tell us that they were active. Suddenly, after about 2 or 3 days of us hitting the systems, a member of AAA ORDERED our people there to take down the SBUs and was referred to a specific **** leader: Jaydn Remko as he handles diplo. The sad part is less than 24 hours later, we were reset from blue with AAA to red and a AAA alt in Cascade Imminent kicked us out of all of Cascade Imminent stations. The sad part is that we have always been quite reasonable in our dealings with AAA. They are the ones that failed to let us know what they were planning until AFTER we had already invested time, ships, and equipment in taking those two systems. And, instead of maintaining our former level of relations where we helped them with fuel, other contracts, and combat, while we maintained 2 systems in AAA space; they are more interested in taking two systems by force than in friendship. That is what makes this such a backstabbing move by them. We did not know about the ties to Cascade Imminent until they ORDERED us to stop what we were doing as they never let anyone else know what their plans were.
