Haria Haritimado Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. 127	Posted - 2016.01.26 22:39:34 - [1] - Quote Fellow Pilots, As announced by the Upwell Consortium, construction of the first set of Astrahus class citadels has begun. Since this is a major event, Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. invites you to contribute to a continued observation of the construction process and its different stages. STAGE 1 On the 26th Jan 118 YC the first construction elements were deployed in five known space systems. Those systems are Ourapheh (Genesis, The InterBus), Anjedin (Tash-Murkon, Amarr Empire), Asgeir (Metropolis, Minmatar Republic), Mara (Lonetrek, Caldari State), and PF-346 (Syndicate, Intaki Syndicate). The Astrahus class citadel is expected to be the smallest of three sizes, as announced by the Upwell Consortium public relations office for The Scope. The construction sites are generally located close to planets and Custom Offices in such a way, that the natural phenomena of gravity is only offering a fixed anchor point for warp in, though the construction site itself only measures about 50km in diameter. Major structures deployed are heavy industrial frameworks, landing platforms for smaller vessels, docking platforms for freighters of all hull types, mobile shipping units, and a communications element. Two major incidents have been reported, which occured shortly after the laying of the first foundation. Pilot Nathaniel reports that the structure in PF-346 has been attacked by capsuleer pilots. I can confirm the message he caught. I saw hints for more mischievous destruction at Anjedin as well. Pilot Evelyn Valate reports that she rescued people (most likely baseliner personel) from some of the structures in Ourapheh. This report has not been confirmed so far. Please find below a simple view of every one of the five sites in its early stage (mostly undamaged as far as I can tell): Ourapheh Anjedin Asgeir Mara PF-346 (all industrial frameworks were destroyed or missing) Please feel free to report any unusual sightings or, of course, regular progress of the construction process in this thread. Respectfully, Haria Haritimado Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. Employment Profile: Haria Haritimado
Gosakumori Noh Seraglio Hastatus Hagia Sophia 693	Posted - 2016.01.27 00:50:33 - [2] - Quote Thank you for the summary. It is very helpful for those of us with no present idea what is Going On, and I am pleased no end that one construction zone is in Tash-Murkon space. I adore the Tash-Murkon. I do realize that they may not be as Righteous as other Great Families; but they are most righteously rich - and unparalleled Patrons of the Arts. Are these projects similar to that Site One initiative, wherein podlings are invited to assist; or, is the extent of assistance we can offer largely limited to not blowing things up (assistance which I understand was not given in at least on instance)?

Haria Haritimado Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. 131	Posted - 2016.01.27 19:31:17 - [4] - Quote While still in the earliest stages of construction, all five initial Astrahus construction sites have been attacked by capsuleers and Serpentis aggressors. An official statement by Upwell Consortium followed shortly after. The statement also affirms the reports issued by Ms. Valate, who took personal efforts to evacuate baseliner personel from one of the construction sites. So far I can confirm the complete deconstruction of the sites in Mara and Anjedin. The beacons have been removed, the grids are clear of any traces of the former sites and there are no cosmic signatures related to anything like a construction site. In Anjedin, I discovered a statement by a known capsuleer where once the construction site has been. The mobile depot was deployed by pilot Naupilus. Employment Profile: Haria Haritimado
Gosakumori Noh Seraglio Hastatus Hagia Sophia 696	Posted - 2016.01.27 20:16:09 - [5] - Quote It comes as no surprise that the primary creative effort of our larger community is the opposite of creation, but there you have it. New Prophet Nauplius contends that grand structures distract from the divine. I acknowledge there is a tendency with humans to either blow things up or become hopelessly infatuated with their own cleverness, losing sight of more spiritual matters. That said, I adore the Tash-Murkon (who have long provided me with a warm and welcoming environment), and do hope that the consortium will be able to infuse the regional economy with riches. I have also come to realize that I miss ruthless Caldari dictators. I would like to be a ruthless Caldari dictator some day.
Haria Haritimado Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. 131	Posted - 2016.01.27 21:26:07 - [6] - Quote While the political implications of the attacks on the Astrahus construction sites are presently debated elsewhere and we have to wait for the final outcomes I want to confirm that by now, all five construction sites have been completely abandoned. The grids are cleared and the beacons have been removed. A few capsuleers left personal exclamations on the sites (except in Mara) but I hesitate to repeat them here on IGS since I don't want to give them another platform. So, at this point, we are back to Stage Zero. Employment Profile: Haria Haritimado
Jaret Victorian Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. 316	Posted - 2016.01.27 21:49:46 - [7] - Quote Upwell just released a statement on these attacks. In return, one of the attackers, the so-called OOS group decided to escalate the conflict. Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. Follow us on GalNet!

Deitra Vess Scope Works Psychotic Tendencies. 889	Posted - 2016.01.27 22:23:10 - [9] - Quote Anyone else find it a little wierd that the serpantis "installed a virus to shut down the shields" on a prototype structure? Were they even up or was that an oversight? Just seems a little odd...
Yarosara Ruil Caldari State 105	Posted - 2016.01.28 00:07:00 - [10] - Quote Deitra Vess wrote: Anyone else find it a little wierd that the serpantis "installed a virus to shut down the shields" on a prototype structure? Were they even up or was that an oversight? Just seems a little odd... Nothing in this scenario is wierd. Ever since the late Empress Jamyl Sarum shared with the entire cluster the means to protect large structures, it would be expected that the Upwell Consortium would employ them to protect its pet project. Having their shield generators deactivated from the inside spelled the end for the structure, as it had to rely on its natural defences. Unsurprisingly, a non-existing hull tanks poorly. And since pirate filth doesn't give a rat's tail about honor, they gave no second thought about shooting an undefended civilian structure... Just. Because. It. Was. There.
Makoto Priano Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. 7968	Posted - 2016.01.28 00:45:04 - [11] - Quote Ruil-haani; Interestingly, the only structures present at the sites were a standard communications array, some storage units, a variety of industrial and freighter vessels, and scaffolding. The scaffolding was of a sort that is frequently left unshielded, as it is not often in areas capsuleers frequent. DED-grade shielding is usually reserved for larger structures that can presumably provide the power required by such a system. I assume, as such, the Citadels will use DED-grade shielding. Still, the OSS's actions and their ham-fisted attempt at extortion is disappointing if predictable.

Yarosara Ruil Caldari State 106	Posted - 2016.01.28 01:39:30 - [12] - Quote Ser Priano; I've seen Gas Silos owned by drug swindling baseliners equiped with this very same shielding, so size and power supply are non-issues. Ships on the other hand, that redirect the excess power created by their reactors to their capacitors, would have a great deal of trouble keeping this sort of shield up even for an entire minute. And even the crudest star gate built by our ancestors has the power to maintain the energy upkeep of these shields. Furthermore, according to their specifications, Citadels aren't meant to be built in scaffolds but in three dimensional localized replicators. But until that is possible, a first prototype must be made from scratch. Protecting what you own is one of the tenets of capsuleer culture, as you know. And nothing short of this grade of shielding could protect a structure from a squad of capsuleer pilots. Even if it was reinforced, the attackers would just wait it out. I refuse to believe that the Upwell Consortium is so naive as to think normal shields would serve as a deterrent to attacking parties. That said, I have no way to acertain if this was the kind of shields that were sabotaged or if its just a PR tactic to do damage control. I prefer the benefit of doubt myself. Alas Ser Priano, that is all the engineering debate I intend to have with you. As you might not recall, I swore I would one day collect your head and not a day has gone by that I don't dedicate my effort and energies towards that end. My sincere apologies if cutting this banter short ends up offending you, but honor demands it. Thank you.

Haria Haritimado Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. 135	Posted - 2016.01.29 00:16:31 - [15] - Quote STAGE 1.1 Roughly 20 hours after the first wanton destruction of Upwell assets at the construction sites, all five Astrahus exemplars have been started over with changed components. The only assets I encountered today were - now fortified - shipyards and robust landing pads. There were no space vessels present, neither industrial nor combat types. Also, all Astrahus exemplar sites are now located at a different planet than before. Mara - relocated from planet II to planet I (0.3 AU from sun) Anjedin - relocated from planet I to planet II (0.7 AU from sun) Ourapheh - relocated from planet V to planet III (1.1 AU from sun) Asgeir - relocated from planet V to planet VI (4.2 AU from sun) PF-346 - relocated from planet VIII to planet II (0.7 AU from sun) Employment Profile: Haria Haritimado

Haria Haritimado Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. Arataka Research Consortium 173	Posted - 2016.02.02 19:00:01 - [21] - Quote As by now, the status of the five construction sites has not visibly been changed or otherwise updated. Special Accounts Manager Lee Brinalle gave a positive feedback about the ongoing reclaiming of the Research Components and the public relations department untertook some efforts to keep track of the donations for the interested public. Anyway, the construction sites appear as already reported above. Given the initial appearance of the sites at STAGE 1, I wonder if construction elements are now assembled elsewhere and will be deployed in siginificantly bigger steps. Public Employment Profile
Haria Haritimado Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. Arataka Research Consortium 173	Posted - 2016.02.12 12:07:05 - [22] - Quote Fellow Pilots, With the latest press release of Special Accounts Manager Lee Brinalle (Intaki Bank) it seems like the construction efforts of the five Astrahus exemplar sites are ready to enter next stage. Especially since Freedom Extension and Propel Dynamics have joined the Upwell Consortium, bringing in experience in the fields of courier, transport, and short-range warp technology. Ms. Brinalle invited the space travelling public to visit the construction sites. However, yesterday, the construction sites in Anjedin and Mara still appeared unchanged. I would like to kindly ask if someone can visit the five sites again today and report any new findings here. I won't have the time to travel the route by myself over the next days.

Makoto Priano Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. Arataka Research Consortium 8048	Posted - 2016.02.12 15:00:45 - [24] - Quote Likewise, Mara. I assume Upwell has a lot of materiel it's moving right now. As for Propel Dynamics, fascinating! I wonder what use Upwell would have for a propulsion firm? Are they planning new freight or resourcing designs? Also, now three firms involved in the Stratios project are involved in Upwell. Hm. I wonder if the relationships formed during that project made for some obvious choices in collaboration. A minor historical aside; Propel Dynamics was founded by the Sotiyo-Urbaata team that first developed warp technology, and is now a member of the Ishukone family of corporations, as we see with its headquarters livery. Also interestingly, Propel's basic Galnet dossier notes some prior associations with the Legion, presumably due in part to its participation in Ishukone's Kiiragustektaa, which assisted in the Legion ship development program.

Haria Haritimado Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. Arataka Research Consortium 180	Posted - 2016.02.16 20:33:44 - [27] - Quote STAGE 2 Exactly three weeks have passed, since the Upwell Consortium laid the foundation stone to the five Astrahus exemplar sites. There was a significant early break, due to a vulnerability caused by network security issues. The Serpentis were supposed to be responsible and some capsuleers took the opportunity to attack the construction sites. Today, a considerable step was made in the construction process. The Scope featured some impressive sights. All five construction sites are equally advanced, at least from the outer appearance: Mara Stage 2 Anjedin Stage 2 Asgeir Stage 2 Ourapheh Stage 2 PF-346 Stage 2 What else can be observed? First of all, the construction sites are now properly identified by NEOCOM interfaces and Upwell's Department of Friendship and Mutual Assistance broadcasts the 'winners' of the Astrahus research component race. Secondly, the Astrahus class citadels seems to be constructed in three major towers which are now undergoing the assembling process. A top view shows the general layout and the heavy construction work along the whole construct frame. A closer inspection shows, that the Astrahus class's internal layout is heavily build on horizontal layers. Several of them are visible, some of them form remarkable trenches. Other prominent features are silos, blocks and similar features of unknown purpose. One platform floats slightly apart from the main body, connected by a fragile flexible connection. This might be a docking element for capital vessels or an element which suffers from being built in directly (like sensor arrays). Maybe it is only deployed for the ongoing construction work.
