I received this indirectly and I'm not authenticating its credibility
In December the Imperium forces struck out to burn down the surrounding systems that supposedly were a possible treat to their existence. They bashed POSs and caused havoc in Placid,Black Rise, Cloud Ring and Syndicate. Eve was their playground and all was well.
Until one of the Imperium Alliances, the Space Monkey Alliance (SMA)located in the Fade Region, stole isk from the GÇ¥I want IskGÇ¥ (IWI) gambling website. The IWI started hiring mercenaries to retaliate against SMA. It became evident that SMA was the weakest link in the mighty Imperium. Within a matter of a couple of weeks over 2000 players left SMA because of the amount of fighting taking place.
Blood was now in the water. The next thing that happened was the Imperium and SMA lost their holdings in Cloud Ring. Before and after this event, SMA lost key Corporations and key Fleet Commanders. This was still not of consequence to SMA because they relied on the Goon Swarm Federation (GSF), the largest alliance in the game, to bail them out of trouble.
The sharks are circling. Fighting and etosising broke out in earnest in the Vale of the Silent and the Fade Regions. Both SMA and the Get off my Lawn Alliance (Lawn) were under constant heavy pressure from an ever growing loosely formed coalition of aligned players. To counter this threat, the Imperium moved its main staging area to the Saranen System of the Lonetrek Region where they are today.
While pressure continued to tax SMA in Fade. It was decided to pull Lawn and the Bastion Alliance back away from the Vale of the Silent. Enter the first, of IGÇÖm sure many more, betrayals. The Circle of Two Alliance ( then a member of the Imperium) made a deal with the Imperium enemies to entrap the Bastion/Lawn Capital fleet. It was only just by chance that it didnGÇÖt happen.
Sharks! SMA was decimated and abandoned Fade for Saranen. Three months of fighting in Fade and the lack of support from GSF was enough. The loosely formed coalition, that are the enemies of the Imperium, is now a conglomerate called the Money Badger Coalition. At last count, consists of over 60 Alliances with a combined Capital fleet that far out numbers their opponent.
Rumors abound. The GSF is keeping a close eye on SMA. One heavily talked about rumor is that SMA is leaving the Imperium. The Fidelas Constans Alliance (FCON) and Lawn are said to be talking about extricating themselves from the war.
