Tornsoul's account strikes me as fairly accurate.
FIX's biggest tactical blunder, IMO, was not going to PB to kick Shinra out when they had the chance.
The ramifications of this non-event set the stage for the current political landscape.

Maybe Yoda, I don't mind POS wars myself. Defending FAT and later on, 3BK were very enjoyable gaming experiences.
/whispers to everybody whenever some of the old events are discussed 'That's right - it's a GAME folks!' 
Many corps and pilots have shaped the history of Querious, Period Basis & Delve. These regions all ended up in Bob hands - have been so for a long time, and it doesn't look like changing any time soon.
Saying that, in this game, any zomgwtf thing can happen at anytime. Keeps it fresh  |

Well plans were made and i was sure we would stand a chance. The problem was FIX never was a factor i calculated with. WHY? Well i was in controll of every single combat pilot and i told the senate, whatever we do in DELVE, BA and FIX are the right owner of Querious. Period. No discussion here at all and they had to aggree or i would have left them doing their **** alone. And they did. FIX never was a wartarget nor was Querious in any question who the right owner was.
Your mistake was failing to establish a dialogue. The corps who founded FIX were largely interested in creating an entity that could control the region. It was a very inward-looking alliance.

Let me tell you i was very supprised that FIX start a preventive assault, which caught me unpreppared and splitted our forces. No chance for StA to fight a two border fight against a mighty FA and a mighty FIX. We was annihilated in few weeks, even some minor forces tried to fight back.
QDF seized its chance. CFS failed to relinquish its claim over Querious and it was 100% CFS's fault not to cede Querious after fighting broke out. You can blame both Conrad and Liquidcool for that. They were given the opportunity and they blew it.

I had really good friends in FIX, that good, that even in wartimes we denied shooting at each other. Well things happend and battleplans never survive the first day. Thats the story.
o/ Loka - how's your singing? Yeah, ultimately Star and DSMA failed to unhook themselves from a sinking turkey (CFS). You would have been surprised at how much anti-FA sentiment there was within FIX at the time. |

As for FIX's involvement and the CFS fleet. As I understand it to this day, the CFS fleet could have gone strait to delve and PB without ever fighting FIX. That area down there is a 3 way jump ... 1 through the a2 pipe, 1 to delve, 1 down into Q proper. The FIX fleet sat in defence of the direction to Q proper.
Incorrect Sil. I was in that fleet. We.. uh... blocked the route to all 3 regions.  |

For me, the most interesting aspect of this thread is seeing certain individuals take a very revisionist approach to history.
