Originally by: Marko Debreault The north successfully killed a small Outbreak POS in PF-QHK today.
As downtime hit yesterday I kept seeing D2 pilots leaving PF-QHK. It appeared they were losing interest, so I gave the order to erect a small POS. That really makes them mad.
We got the POS up but numbers were severely in their favor. They attacked it quickly and knocked it into reinforced, almost killing an Outbreak carrier in the process.
Outbreak had successfully inserted itself into D2's appointment book again. They set up bubble camps all over and sat around for some hours like alliance guys are prone to doing.
After a while we had the numbers to have some fun. We had in the vicinity of 22 BS, 12 of which were docked in station and 10 of which were out in space. The alliance guys had a large bubble on the station. We had 3 carriers docked, and the MC brought two motherships, both of which were in space.
The alliance guys had 20 or so BS and 2 carriers in space. Their support fleet (40 guys or so?) sat drowsily on the station, pleased at having successfully denied Outbreak the chance to undock.
So we undock everything, warp everything else in, kill the bubble and the support fleet. It takes a while for the northern guys to realize whats happening, but finally they warp in their BS and carriers. The carriers and a few of their BS escape the slaughter.
After a few hours pass the D2 titan appears in local. Our small POS is almost out of reinforced. A 70-80 man Morsus Mihi fleet is sighted in WH-JCA, and sure enough they're headed our way. Another 40 man D2 gang is inbound from BKG. 6 enemy carriers have cynoed into the hostile POS.
The alliance guys use their Titan to avoid the jump in gate to the system. It's getting late, we've had a great time. The alliance guys put together such a blob as to make fighting silly, so we call it quits for the day and folks log and sleep or do other things.
The wee POS dies, unremarked and unmourned. It killed an enemy dictor; let that be its legacy.
Most everyone is logged as I type this - local is at 11, down from 240 earlier. If I'm in the mood I'll go kill some carebears or some fleet stragglers, as they log in and leave in ones and twos. An evening in the North is good for around 60 million isk, although sometimes you come home empty, and sometimes you return with a cool billion.
The actions of parties involved in todays fighting might lead to questions. Some of those questions might be about motivation, like, why were they there, or why did they behave in that manner? Some questions might be about the impact of the actions today as they apply to a wider ranging conflict that may be occurring in the North. Some might even question whether or not a rogue pirate corporation such as Outbreak deserves this much attention. I've given an outline of todays events. The posing and answering of such questions I leave to others.
This is Marko Debreault, sitting on the PF-Q gate of VG-6 in a blaster fitted hyperion, waiting for some lonely fleet fitted D2 battleship to try to go home.
Well you caught our attention now. I hope you gathered enough isks in the meanwhile
