i am fairly new to alliance warfare and i have been following the recent news about the CFC vs N3 war but i can't seem to understand the reasons behind this war, the actual participants and their roles and the outstanding thing about it.
Can you help me understand this a little better ?
Thanks.
Last year Pandemic Legion used a massive blob consisting of TEST Alliance, Northern Coalition dot and Nulli Secunda along with assorted pets and tag-alongs to displace a russian alliance from the area of space where they normally live.
The CFC is secure in their holdings and really doesnt have anything to do so they are helping this russian group try to reclaim their homeland. And as the defenders of freedom and truth and fun and free-wheeling PVP in the EVE Universe they dislike N3 anyways.
N3 tactics are to drop a massive blob of capitals (called: The Sphere) onto sovereignty structures, repair them and get out, log off and play Battlefield 4. They do not like to play EVE but they like the passive income they get from a rental empire so they maintain it through "Blob" tactics like this.
This does not sit right with the CFC who seeks PVP content for their pilots so they are attacking N3. Currently the whole thing is stalemated. |

It should be noted that a stalemate is quite typical for these kinds of Big Bloc wars with many thousands of pilots involved. The stalemate will last until the meta changes in some way.
Meta in EVE refers to the 'meta game.' Which are layers of unseen things that happen behind the scenes like political maneuvers, infiltration, sabotage, fleet doctrines, nerfs, buffs, spies, etc.
Somebody gets mad at someone else and takes their ball and goes home, a spy robs an alliance doing catastrophic damage, leadership suffers burnout and begins neglecting things causing big gains for their enemies.
A spy disbands your alliance, a large capital fleet is caught and destroyed causing catastrophic damage and morale loss, timers are blue-balled causing morale loss and pilot inactivity, fleet participation suffers. These are the unseen things that happen in a sovereignty war and are not easily documented or tracked. They are written in the annals of history after the fact.
And these are the things that make EVE great  |

Interesting things are in motion in that Insidious Empire (EMP) has declared their intention to begin attacking Gentlemens Agreement (GENTS) space. GENTS are a member of the CFC and CFC space has not been directly under attack as long as I have been playing this game.
EMP is a proxy of Pandemic Legion in that Phreeze the leader of EMP was/is a long-time member of Pandemic legion who also likes to do his own thing. However- EMP cannot and will not operate without the explicit approval of Pandemic Legion because they live and die by the support of the PL capital fleet.
Much the same way that N3 does. Now during the recent activities of CFC alliances in the northeast- attacking N3 assets and sovereign space in Kalevala, Perrigen Falls and Etherium Reach. the CFC alliances studiously avoided attacking Brothers of Tangra assets. Brothers of Tangra is Pandemic legions renter alliance.
This is because of an old NIP- which stands for non-invasion or non-infrastructure agreement between PL and the CFC which hearkens back to the OTEC days. Now it seems like PL is looking for the door on that agreement by backing EMP if they do attack CFC sovereign space.
If CFC space came under real threat I would expaect the CFC to deploy north and crush EMP, maybe even evict them from Cobalt Edge as well. Northern Coalition. and Pandemic Legion would immediately follow to protect Brothers of Tangra space leaving Nulli Secunda in the south to burn.
All of this is of course theory and conjecture but it will be interesting to see what happens in the new year |

Yes, and no one anywhere ever regarded that as: "Oh my goodness we are under attack!" That is simply Black Legion doing what Black Legion does- and that is shooting things trying to get a fight. |
