OC / SA HISTORY
In the ôearly daysö Omega Corp came to Stain in search of a home. We found that Interstellar Elite, a corp we had known and previously fought side by side with was now a founder of the Stain Alliance. SA consisted of 3 primary corpsà IE, The Collective and MASS. After some talks, Omega Corp joined the Stain Alliance, claimed and settled into our territory consisting of 3 constellations in the rear of Stain.
Our territory was untamed and had rogues and pirates including m0o frequently operating there. We began military operations to secure our new home. We also invited our old ally Solar Wind to come and join us. We convinced them of the abundance of the area and offered them 1 of our 3 constellations as their home. We sponsored them and they became SA members as well.
Much to our dismay the SA were loath to initiate hostilities against m0o (the remaining pirates of our territory) and allowed m0o to roam as it pleased throughout Stain. Omega Corp fought against m0o with assistance from a Solar Wind officer named Thirdstorm and drove m0o out of our home.
OC sent war fleets to every call to arms of the SA. Omega Corp was a dedicated and committed member of the SA by anyoneÆs standards. OC had always been primarily focused on military tactics and strategy. We believe that Omega Corp has always been a primary asset in the strength of SA.
EV comes to Stain
Everlasting Vendetta was granted a hunting pass but soon was found to have a large mining operation within OC territory. We rallied forces to launch an assault on the poachers and informed the SA council of what was about to occur. IE intervened speaking with EV and announced that EV would now become a member of SA and was given a territory in another area of Stain. We of OC did not like this since we felt EV had already shown their true nature but the deal had already been made.
Over the next couple months two more incidents of EV illegally mining in our territory occurred. One was claimed to be a mistake by some uniformed members (although an officer was present). The other incident was when a small 4 man corp we shared our territory with merged with EV. They tried claiming that the acquisition of these 3 members gave them mining rights to our territory but the SA council ruled against them and they were told to return to their own territory. The bad blood was well sown in these days and relations between our corps were tense.
SA Politics
In time, several more corps were brought into the SA without votes of existing members and with little or no probationary periods to prove themselves. Approximately 2 months ago EV began a political initiative to ôredistrictö all territory in stain to divide it equally among the SA corps. OC protested on the basis that not all corps were contributing equally to the SA military needs and therefore equal territory was not justified. Our protests fell on deaf ears as the newer corps unanimously voted for the redistricting.
Being outvoted and still wanting to remain a ôgood memberö of the SA, Omega Corp offered to relinquish 8 of the 10 systems in our territory. We also clearly designated our 2 primary HQ systems as not available for redistricting.
The Ultimatum
On 11-26-03 the SA Council decided that OC would not be allowed to retain our 2 HQÆs and offered 1 HQ and a different system of their choosing. Heated arguments went on for hours and the SA council gave OC one week to decide as they put it, ôto accept the decision or leave Stain by choice or by forceö.
Solar Wind our oldest ally was present and backed the EV against OC even after we pointed out that the redistricting map drawn up by EV gave EV 3 HQ stations in their territory with the rest of the constellation designated as ôsharedö. In effect giving EV an entire constellation while the rest of the SA were 10-30 jumps away. Apparently our offer of 8 of our 10 systems was not good enough and the SA corps were blind to the EV biased map.
Our Decision
Omega Corp firmly believes our offer was more than generous. We feel betrayed by our old allies Solar Wind. One corp, MASS voiced in OCÆs favor and that was appreciated. Our decision is to not allow EV and its cronies to force OC out of Stain. We have fought hard for SA since the moment we arrived and have well earned out territory. We do not intend to simply walk away.

War Declaration
OC declares war on Everlasting Vendetta and Solar Wind.
OC withdraws its previous offer to surrender 8 of the 10 systems.
In the light of Solar Winds betrayal, OC reclaims itÆs 3rd constellation (WULNA) formerly given to Solar Wind by OC.
OC declares the RPS-OK system as the OC border and violation of that border will be considered an act of war.
OC requests that any SA corps that wish to remain neutral should contact Specter, declare their neutrality and remain beyond the RPS-OK system until the war is resolved.
SA corps that initiate open hostilities against Omega Corp will be placed on a KOS list and will be subject to guerilla raids anywhere in Stain. We are making an effort to separate traitors emboldened by EV from the corps that simply fear being ejected from stain by a Council that has been manipulated by EV.
CA / OC cease fire offered.
As we believe weÆve been betrayed by those we called ôfriendsö, OC will no longer fight the SA war against CA. Omega Corp formally offers CA a cease fire between OC and CA. OC has ceased hostile operations against CA and will continue to honor that as a show of good faith as long as hostilities are not initiated against OC.
Accusations
EV has accused us of plotting against EV and MASS. We challenge them to show one instance of OC saying anything but good about MASS. EV has proven their colors since they arrived in Stain and the hatred between our corps has been mutual. MASS on the other hand have always been good allies and we have never had any issues with them or their members.
Conclusion.
Omega Corp believes we have done everything to avoid this situation with the exception of complete submission to what we deem as unreasonable demands. OC is prepared to fight to our last breath against the mob rule tyranny that has swept over the SA spearheaded by EV. We do not believe this will be a short war although we are confident in our military capability to cause great harm to the SA corps that attempt to do harm to Omega Corp. We fully understand that the OC territory will be breached on many occasions but we vow to make this war extremely costly to those that attack OC. We firmly believe that the SA cannot afford this war and it has the potential to destroy the SA.

First 24 hours of the war:
EV launches a sneak attack under the guise of a peace agreement reached with the SA Council 2 hours prior. 1 OC Indy and 1 OC Megathron are destroyed.
OC withdraws to assess the situation and decides to only attack SA corps that initiate hostilities aganst OC. We understand this position gives any SA corp that intends to wage war a beginning advantage we are willing to make that sacrifice in an effort to spare corps bearing no hostile intentions being drawn into a war they do not desire.
The first OC raids result in 1 EV Apoc and 1 SW Dom being destroyed. Our raids will increase in frequency and intensity as time goes on and more corps become targets by their own actions.

When we were given the ultimatum, Omega Corp immediately began preparing for war with EV, SW and any other corp that would move against OC. We made it clear for months we would not give up those 2 systems. The Council gave us a deadline of 1 week to render our final decision. A good leader would utilize that time to fortify... and fortify we did.
We moved the corp battlefleets out of Curse to reinforce our positions within Stain. We ramped up production and now have billions in battle ready BS's, support vessels and vast stockpiles of ammo, missiles and gear. We are positioned to wage a very long war with little income required. We intend to prevent any hostile SA corp and their members from profiting from their decision to betray Omega Corp and steal our territory with politics, votes and threats.
Since our war against CA was on behalf of the SA and based on possible EV misinformation concerning timelines and certain events we immediately decided to call for a cease fire with the CA. Why would we continue to fight that offensive war for the SA? I made contact with CA to discuss peace and made no effort to conceal this. Everyone knows that the CA TS server has been compromised but I made no effort to conceal my identity as I logged on to discuss the cease fire as Duke Droklar / Specter. I could have easily logged on as anything but chose to fly my name.
Many possible courses of action have been discussed within Omega Corp including alignment changes of the corp. Not suprising I would say in light of current events. These possibilities are still being discussed and considered. That is an internal matter and you can be assured that if that occurs the entire eve community will know about it. One thing we have always remained firm on is that we would never be pirates as it is completely unappealing to us and seems quite boring to be honest.

You were never there when required.
Your lack of commitment to defending your precious mining systems is what caused your dismissal from SA.
I look forward to driving you out of SA territory. -Joshua Calvert
Only a fool would fail to recognise that OC was committing more effort in Curse pressing the SA war with the CA than any other corp. Even with that effort, OC still responded to any SA defense calls within Stain that we deemed as a real threat.
I look forward to EV trying to drive us out as well. Btw, has Con Mal replaced his Raven yet?  OC has been fighting wars for over a year. Months of warfare in Curse has honed our skills in guerilla warfare and you are about to learn first hand the truth of the what it means to be an enemy of Omega Corp.

This will be the only response from MASS.
We follow strictly to the council's decision and we will, if required , enforce the decision. -Trigger
Regardless of this, OC will not be the first to initiate hostilities on the corp and people we have respected from before most of the members in the alliance even heard of the Stain Alliance. We will however respond in kind if forced into doing so. We hope it doesnt come to that.
EV and SW need every friend they can get in an attempt to survive this. All OC wants is for others to stand aside as we take these pretenders to school. However absolutely nothing will prevent the retribution that will be befall them.

If you have something to say then do so. Disgruntled member that couldnt cut it in OC? A member of a corp in beta who got their asses handed to them? TAOSP perhaps? OC and EVOL have had no encounters whatsoever so it must be something like that. Lets hear an offical statement from EVOL on the matter.
CA: One thing I have said from when this whole matter started within the SA... "I have yet to see the CA turn on their own". No matter what one believes about the CA, one cannot deny this aspect of their honor. Can't say the same thing for EV and SW.
SA: EV claimed we were being greedy. We offered 80% of our territory and that wasn't good enough for your leaders. It seems quite clear where the greed lies. Remember this if your leaders drag your corp into this war and you come under attack from OC forces.

It does not matter who EV brings in. They cannot stop us from prosecuting this war. The best they can do is prevent us from running ops for a short while in one area of Stain. We are specialists in lightning raids striking the enemies weaknesses.
How exactly can they stop us? The only way they are ever safe now is when they are in a massive blip. How long can they keep that up? A couple hours here or there for a couple days of the week? We have been running ops nearly 18 hours per day in multiple shifts. We dont need money, we have an enormous volume of corporate ships at our disposal and we dont have CA to fight anymore. We are 100% focused on the death and destruction of those that have attacked us.
If they are camping us with a massive blip who exactly is defending Stain from CA? EV and cronies really dont understand what they have started. Weve been fighting what?... 40-50 corps in the CA virtually by ourselves for 2 months. Will introducing evol or any other corp have any effect on us whatsoever?

Iluyen: It makes no sense for a few bb's on a wolf pack op to engage a BS group when their objective is disruption and catchng enemies with their pants down. You don't win a war by exchanging losses. You win wars by costing the enemy losses with little losses to yourself. Haven't noticed your corp engaging an alliance of 40-50 corps for 2 months solo. When you do, feel free to instruct me in strategy.

I understand Torment, Archon and the rest of those in RI. I also understand what a massivley difficult decision this is. Especially with the EV spin being whispered and the ramifications of actually standing up against EV.
It would be the wrong decision to stand by us simply out of old ties if you honestly believe the council is right in this matter and we are wrong.
Forget about everything else, follow your sense of right and wrong and you will be making the right decision for you no matter what that decision is. Words to live by...

Duke, u forgot to mention in your history how u acquired the scorpion bp original (or is it an infinite bpc? can't remember...). Of course, u were too busy reminding us over and over again how u have babysitted and spoon feed us. -Jagang
You act as though there is some big secret. Empress of TC one of the few SA corps I still respect asked in council (during the early days) if any were interested in going in on a Scorp and they would receive an infinite copy for 200mill (or there abouts). OC as well as 1-2 other SA corps said yes and the deal was completed in due time. This is no different from any other group purchase plan that has been done a million times in Eve. The price was about normal, we advanced the money to TC and we got what we bargained for.
So what exactly is your point? Did we get some huge bargain? No, normal biz deal between allies. The main benefit was working a deal of this size with a trusted ally. Of course we wouldnt have trusted money up front to anyone BUT a trusted ally.

Ahhhh, so that is what you're so uninformed and misguided about. Let see how the public feels about who is being ridiculous on the matter.
#1 SW offers an unaffiliated, non allied, could've been drawn from a hat corp, to purchase an unlimited copy of the Apoc for around 150 mill.
#2 I get wind of this and speak to SW. I am appauled to think that they did not even ask us if we were interested in an obviously good deal that they were offering to just anybody.
#3 SW withdraws the offer AFTER it had been agreed to and demands 250 mill if OC wants the same deal.
#4 After some haggling we agree to 200 mill and we receive the unlimited copy me1.
#5 A couple months go by and the Apoc copy no longer serves our needs. We offer it on trade channel at 400 mill (starting price, was hoping for about 300).
#6 SW gets bent out of shape claiming that we should sell it back to them at what we paid for it.
First of all, the deal was made very business like by SW with no consideration towards allies or EVEN what they had offered a corp SW didnt even know.
Secondly, what we do with OUR copy is absolutley none of your business when no "favors" were granted to us when we acquired it. So what exactly do you think we OWE you???
Thirdly, OC & SW agreed long before this that "sharing" ownership of originals was not a good idea.
Btw, I noticed you got nice and fat off the constellation of rares that OC GAVE you. Of course none of that ever figures into the SW mindset.

Errr, dude. How is an apoc unlimited bpc for 200M worse than a scorp unlimited bpc for 200M? . Oh, u do know that an apoc original bp costs about 2 times more than a scorp original bp, do u? Thus, also the unlimited bpc's prices must also have around the same ratio. -[SW]Jagang
Please quote where I said 200 or even 250 was an "unfair" price. No what I said was SW wanted to charge OC more than they were going to charge another corp.
Quote:
However, I've investigated and it turns out that it was not a random corp, but a corp with which we had dealings. -[SW]jagang
And this other corp gave you a constellation of rares in Stain? When SW complained they had run out of rares this other corp gave you another 3 systems? If you are aware of all OC has done for SW since beta and through retail than it cannot be seen as anything other than a slap in the face from a corp of ingrates to offer us a higher price than what they offered to another corp.
At the time we were helping SW we viewed it as "building relations and helping to strengthen an ally" however SW actions in the past months have been straying far from friendly until they became completely traitorous.
