Syris Anu Evolutionary Pressure	Posted - 2006.08.26 23:42:00 - [1] This is Syris Anu reporting from Cistuvaert. I just returned from Stacmon, where a terrible event has taken place. I was originally in Cistuvaert helping new graduates of the Center for Advanced Studies school when an emergency alert came over system communications. A CONCORD special operations agent by the name of Inspector Ronier claimed that someone had stolen a Nyx mothership and requested all pod pilots in the vicinity to converge on Stacmon as a rally point to aid in the recovery of this vessel. He revealed that CONCORD would pay participating pilots up to 750 million ISK for their assistance. I immediately went to warp, putting my engines over redline to make it to the Stacmon rally point in time to join the fleet. Upon arriving, I saw a crowd of pilots had assembled at the Ostingele gate. The crowd grew. However, the observant witness to this scene would have noted, perhaps with some alarm, that a substantial number of pilots were flagged as known ruffians. Some even had bounties. That this was no ordinary crowd would become all too terribly clear in a matter of minutes. After some time at the gate, after more CONCORD special operations ships also arrived at the gate in support of the inspector, it was announced in the special communications band setup for this recovery operation that the Nyx mothership had been destroyed by forces of two organizations known as "Goonswarm" and "Third Front Alliance" some distance away. CONCORD advised all pod pilots to disperse. Disappointed, I warped to the Federation Navy Assembly Plant. I found myself directly behind Inspector Ronier in the docking pattern. Meanwhile, I could hear on the communications band that the crowd at the gate was becoming unruly, with aspersions being cast at the CONCORD agents for gathering the impromptu fleet and then sending them away empty-handed. Some pilots had flown from far distances in a hurry to participate, it seemed, and they were not taking kindly to being sent home with no material gratification. And this, my readers, is when I made a critical mistake that may echo in Eve history forever. You see, I thought it odd that Inspector Ronier had departed the scene so quickly without further explanation and I began to suspect a ruse. I nimbly accelerated my Crusader to intercept the inspector's docking pattern while radioing my positional information on the inspector, as well his ship characteristics, into the open band along with my suspicions, seeking further explanation of the behavior of this rather strange CONCORD agent. Little did I know that the unruly mob, led by pod pilots Dark Shikari and lofty29, had reached a boiling point. Much of the mob, ruffians and ne'er do wells looked down upon and hassled by CONCORD for much of their piloting lives, had turned ugly.
Syris Anu Evolutionary Pressure	Posted - 2006.08.26 23:43:00 - [2] I drifted away from the station in shock. CONCORD agents had just been brutally murdered by an angry mob and the CONCORD police forces had done nothing to stop them? Were these imposters, as I had suspected? I must confess I rather hoped to hear the latter, but no, a final communication was received from CONCORD promising retribution against the mob, which dispersed as quickly as had arrived. The implications were staggering. CONCORD had a mothership stolen under their noses. They then could only field a small number of special agents that needed to request help from general pod pilots in empire space. And then, when the mothership was destroyed by third parties, they could not reward nor contain an unruly mob. It seems to me that things may be much worse than we thought, perhaps even dire for CONCORD. Has the strain of growing hostilities between empires diminished CONCORD's capabilities such that it cannot even protect its own agents in secure space? Is the rising tide of suicides and general lawlessness a harbinger of things to come? Or has CONCORD been infiltrated by rogue agents? Will CONCORD review surveillance tapes of the incident and attempt to prosecute the participants of one of the worst days in CONCORD history, the day the pod pilots for whom the CONCORD treaty was created in the first place, rebelled and fought CONCORD tooth and nail directly in CONCORD space and, for the first time ever, won? What further events will occur between CONCORD and the participants in this orgy of violence? Stay tuned, folks, I fear that a dark age is upon us. If CONCORD is truly weakened, it is just a matter of time before the fraying fabric of peace that has held this galaxy together for so long will come asunder and we will all be plunged into a galactic war the likes of which has not been known in centuries. Gather your fleets close, arm yourselves, stay vigilant, there may come a time when there is no safety in the dark except that which you can procure for yourself. Syris Anu, Out
Syris Anu Evolutionary Pressure	Posted - 2006.08.26 23:43:00 - [3] My first clue was the sudden arrival of a number of yellow-flagged ships, followed quickly by the launch of drones. Suddenly, my camera drone started reporting explosions around the inspector's vessel. At first I could not believe my eyes. Surely this was some trick of my camera drone, or simply some desperate and foolish suicide attack as has become more common in empire space. Surely CONCORD would quickly restore order if hostilities had broken out in this 0.6 system. However, more ships arrived and as my camera drone zoomed out to give me a better view of the situation, I saw missiles in the air. The inspector's CONCORD special operations cruiser was also launching countermeasures and missiles that were racing back toward some of the ships that had just warped in. And that, my readers, is when all hell broke loose. Confusion raged over the general communications band. I suddenly realized that, though this was a CONCORD agent, no CONCORD vessels were responding, which seemed even more suspicious. No one in the band could give me an explanation, though the inspector radioed that CONCORD would respond to any attackers. I waited for the inevitable arrival of large number of CONCORD ships to restore law and order as quickly as it had fallen apart. But they did not come. Surely, I though to myself, CONCORD's superior technology would win the day, they simply weren't arriving because the agent's ships could handle the rioting that had now spread all around the station. I set my sensors onto the inspector's, ship expecting to see that his ship was in no danger. Imagine my shock when I realized that he had already taken heavy damage and his armor repair systems were falling fast. I breathlessly reported this into the open communications band as more and more ships arrived onto the scene, speculating as to whether these were even CONCORD ships at all. Thunderous explosions were heard as multiple battleships arrived and engaged the inspector. The CONCORD special agents at the gate had now also arrived and were desperately attempting to relieve their stricken inspector. In the background of general radio chatter I heard that Dark Shikari had taken command of the ruffian mob around the station and was coolly and icily managing the targeting matrix over a special band for the irregular forces. The CONCORD special agents stood no chance. Within minutes, their ships had been torn asunder and many of them were brutally killed where their ships were destroyed. What had just moments been a scene of perfect law and order outside of a major empire naval installation in secured space had turned into a bloodbath. Four prized CONCORD special operations cruisers drifted, stricken. CONCORD agent corpses floated idly in space. One of the mob's Stabber cruisers was also adrift, obliterated by the CONCORD agent's last stand. The mob greedily looted their ruined hulls and carried off some of the corpses.
Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.08.26 23:56:00 - [4] Edited by: Dark Shikari on 26/08/2006 23:57:18 As I commented earlier, what happened can be summed up quite simply. CONCORD was looking to recruit a mob of assorted pod pilots to help them catch this Nyx. Of course, many things had gone wrong: for one, the Nyx was in Syndicate, a deadly region filled with all sorts of alliances and forces that could easily defeat even a large gang of pod pilots due to the large gang's lack of coordination. Of course the 4 Concord cruisers has no chance against the 100-ship-strong fleets in the area either. Concord frantically recruited pilots, only to admit to them (after they all wasted up to an hour heading to the combat zone) that the Mothership had been destroyed and there was nothing to see. Worse, the promised reward would be given to no one. So the unruly mob Concord had created decided to get the reward with its own guns: by turning them on the ships of the Concord agents who recruited them in the first place. --[23] Member-- Originally by: DB Preacher The only time BoB's backs are to the wall is when Backdoor Bandit is in local.

Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.08.27 00:30:00 - [8] Originally by: Tarquin Tarquinius As I've said before, this treason should not go unpunished. How do you explain the fact that CONCORD, regardless of its presence in the system, did not defend their "comrades"? The past 10,000 times or more that CONCORD has been attacked or a pod pilot has been attacked lawlessly in high security space, CONCORD has appeared within seconds to destroy the aggressors. They did not this time: they were nowhere to be seen. The only way this is possible is if these agents were not actually part of CONCORD. Why else would CONCORD leave them to the slaughter when they had plenty of firepower to disperse the situation? --[23] Member-- Originally by: DB Preacher The only time BoB's backs are to the wall is when Backdoor Bandit is in local.
Eclipsen413 Shadows of the Dead Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2006.08.27 00:34:00 - [9] this should be made into an EVE chronicle The Stacmon Rebellion (with all the pilot names mentioned in the story) __________________________________________________ you're slower than Stephen Hawking in a snow storm
Tarquin Tarquinius Gallente	Posted - 2006.08.27 00:35:00 - [10] Originally by: Dark Shikari How do you explain the fact that CONCORD, regardless of its presence in the system, did not defend their "comrades"? I would assume that these four agents are working for some branch of CONCORD that is seperate and independent from the division that does the day to day law enforcement. The local police forces were likely unaware of the operation until it was too late for them to do anything. Stacmon is also a fairly quite system, so they probably didn't have the necessary forces to come to the rescue. It would of been suicidal and useless for a few CONCORD police ships to take on an entire fleet of angry people. ------------------------ The Almighty says this must be a fashionable fight.

In a recent attack on another system, two podpilots suicided their battleships in a blaze of smartbombs, killing over 20 innocent podpilots. Over 1000 CONCORD ships showed up within a minute to police the area. In addition, all pod pilots are by default defended by CONCORD under the Yulai convention. Why did CONCORD not show up to defend these particular pod pilots? --[23] Member-- Originally by: DB Preacher The only time BoB's backs are to the wall is when Backdoor Bandit is in local.

My point was that there is probably a perfectly good reason why CONCORD was unable to respond. ------------------------ The Almighty says this must be a fashionable fight.

Eschwen Gas Giant Industries	Posted - 2006.08.27 01:27:00 - [15] Originally by: AlienBreed i gotta ask did you get anything good off the concord ships ? concord faction armour repper or similar? They seemed to be fitted with only T2 gear. The best thing I saw posted in gang chat was a Cap Recharger 2. Although I wasn't able to recover any loot myself, those that were did not seem to be claiming they had picked up anything other than cruiser sized T2 mods.
Syris Anu Evolutionary Pressure	Posted - 2006.08.27 01:46:00 - [16] My apologies for not including you, Eclipsen, outside of the "thunderous explosions" part about multiple battleships arriving. You see, when you have a small ship such as mine, your first obligation in a riot such as happened in Stacmon is to stay out of harm's way. Between dodging missiles and weapons fire, I was hard pressed to make note of all who had joined the crowd. Plus, restrictions on the length of my copy forced me to only name the respective leaders.
lofty29 Gallente Tolarri Conglomerate	Posted - 2006.08.27 02:03:00 - [17] CONCORD betrayed innocent citizens who where ready to risk their lives to help stop a major incursion on security. I can take the number of mistakes which have lead to me loosing numerous battleships to their forces, and the security status hits included, but this has pushed the bar too far. Rallying well over 50 eager pilots from the Essence, Sinq Laison and Verge Vender regions only to turn down them, and their reward is something that will NOT go un-noticed. In this case, we rebelled, and viciously attacked 4 concord cruisers, causing over 100 million in damages in a few minutes. This has still NOT justified the fact that we have been collectively denied our reward money of 3 quaters of a Billion ISK. I lead the 'Mob' into CONCORD's prescence, with Mr. Shikari ordering commands to pilots. I was the first pilot to engage the CONCORD cruisers, bar Mr. Anu, and will take whatever 'punishment' they decide to force upon me with pride. Being betrayed by our GodDamn security service is NOT on. --------------------------- Originally by: inSpirAcy Just like a tumour, the Brutix grows on you.

Being betrayed by our GodDamn security service is NOT on. I fail to see where there was ever any dialog with CONCORD about this expected reward after the Nyx was destroyed. Did anyone even bother to say to the Inspector, "Hey, we came all this way because you promised a reward - where is it?" If that convo happened and he said "you're SOL", then I understand the mood turning ugly, and understand how it could be justifiable. If, though, there was no communication about expectations, and you simply attacked out of hand, then you sparked a mob action that reduced all its members to the level of ravening dogs, with about as much point to the exercise - for as is clear by now, the only bounty you'll be seeing out of this will be the one on your collective heads. Seems apt, to me.
Miss Overlord	Posted - 2006.08.27 11:32:00 - [24] i must say i missed this event and was onlien at the time to. I have been to previous ones and would like CCP to do them at least twice a week (some for aussie timezone would be good to) and broadcast over event channel most seem to be midnight eve time (0800-1100 would be good) Good on the aurora team for getting the serpentis to steal another mothership (and of course for the goons for blowing itup) it iwll be a good training run before they d2 and -a- war dec on ASCN (so folks be ready for lag in coming weeks) as ASCN go v d2, goonfleet and -a- and probably BOB coming in on ASCN side if things get to outta hand (i guess with amarr space pretty empty now amarr empire will become even emptier)
