On February 10th Band of Brothers announced it was time to move onto the second phase of the largest premeditated conflict in history. Like clockwork, enemies rose to the occasion and constructed the single largest organization of players ever seen; some 20,000 characters, two dozen alliances, and 21 regions. With complete superiority in manpower and assets, this Coalition embarked on a very simple mission: to annihilate us.

The following are the results of the last 90 days taken from our killboard. These don't include damages inflicted and sustained by allies anywhere, we leave that for their announcements.

Capitals
129 destroyed
17 lost

Battleships
2840 destroyed
535 lost

Capsules
5653 destroyed
835 lost

Total
18941 ships destroyed
3900 ships lost

Accuracy for ships is high but does not consider battles where the brunt of the work was being done by allies.

Starbases
148 destroyed
15 lost

Accuracy for Starbases may be off by as much as 15-20% either way, only counts Towers and excludes anything that was stolen.

Unlike the previous war this one involved many alliances and killboards, making it impossible to calculate for ISK. Tentative figures place the total cost of this war at 2-3 Trillion, outshining the previous.

People have argued the stats mean nothing if the job is done. Of the 52 stations under what is considered BoB space, 11 fell under siege and were repelled. Of all the regions initially considered Coalition space, three have been lost with two others under siege. Of all the battles fought in EVE, the Coalition set a new record for the largest failure of intelligence in history. And most importantly... for every new enemy made, a brother-in-arms is found.

We are pleased.

Like the conflict before it, and the one before that, this day marks yet another era of destruction. The third phase of the Pendulum War. Larger battles, bigger damage, higher risks, tougher struggles. We want more, can you say the same?

For whichever side you fight... you'll be lucky to see the fourth phase.

P.S.
Say hello, BoB
