Well, seeing as how some people like trying to report the "news", I figured I'd take a shot at it... at least from our point of view.
The MC-led forces that have taken northern Pure Blind, Fade and Deklein over the last two months began a new phase of the war last weekend, striking into the heart of enemy territory by assaulting the system of LXWN-W in Branch. This is the factory outpost built by D2 one jump away from BKG.
Initial resistance was light last Saturday night as we put all enemy towers in the system into reinforced, including a capital shipyard. M. Pire Alliance dropped several towers of their own for allied sov. D2 adjusted the timers on thier towers for two to come out right after DT on Sunday and one on Monday at prime time.
Due to logistics and timing, we could not muster the forces to take down the first two towers. When the third came out on Monday night, D2 had nearly 300 enemy pilots in local and the system locked down tight. They then used a reported force of 30 dreads to put three of our towers into reinforced. The first came out on Tuesday night at 2117.
Determined to save the tower, on Tuesday we gathered a force of 42 Dreads, 43 carriers and four motherships. Supplementing this force were nearly 120 support pilots who had been piling into the system all day, doing their best to disrupt any enemy build up. Our tower was successfully defended and recharged. Intel suggests that Northern forces had 45 dreads on standby to jump us. When they elected not to, we put their pesky capital shipyard starbase back into reinforced.
As some may know, I had a bit of a close call in my Nyx during this op. Early on I warped to the BKG gate, started killing things and discovered a new "feature" in the game I was previously unaware of. My global command key is my right CTRL key, so as I'm talking and scrolling out with my mouse wheel... suddenly I'm looking at the solar system map! For the next 2-3 mins nothing I could do would close the damn map. Joy!
So, I couldn't seem to get into warp, my smarties are running and my mailbox is flashing like mad with kill mails. I called for a cyno but the cyno guy had JUST had to refuel. Oh great!! So another 20-30 seconds go by and now 50+ BS are happily pounding on me. I go from 40% shields to 90% armor in what seemed like seconds. Finally, a jump beacon goes up and another 30 seconds of uncertainty goes by. My screen shows me in warp but then I appear next to the cyno guy. WTF?
I put down the headset, pass on command and take five minutes to get my heart under control. I've been in worse situations TBH, but because I couldn't see **** all of what was happening around me, this time was a bit... tense. 
Oh, and as all of this was happening, Triumvirate and Terror in the System started to make a move on Tenal!
On Wednesday, sovereignty in the old IRON stations in Deklein switched to Aftermath and Vigliance. We formed up another carrier heavy fleet and both allied towers that came out of reinforced in LXW were saved. Where had our enemies gone?
It seemed that D2 and friends decided to leave us alone that night and go after TRI and **** (T/T) in Tenal. Reports indicated that they were hitting OE-4HB with about 12-14 dreads, 16 carriers and a 50+ BS fleet with an equal number of support. T/T were locked out of the system by a massive bubble camp and their towers were getting hit.
We decided to jump our four available motherships jump to a midpoint cyno so we could get in on the action. BTW, that's Velios in the Hel.
Four Horsemen 4TW!

-The bad guys parked / stalled their dreads (crap!) and it became obvious they were a bit nervous by our moms leaving LXW but their gate camp stayed intact. In the meantime, T/T had formed up a 70 man BS fleet and were just about to crash the gate when we cyno'd into a tower. A trio of dictors dropped bubbles on the main enemy BS group, we landed all four moms on top of them and all hell broke loose.
Due to warp offs and range, we only scored 12 BS kills while T/T hit a good chunk of the rest. Waagaa just warped right next to the gate in his Aeon (lunatic) and helped murder everything around it. After we left to go help fix our last tower, apparently Morsus Mihi showed up a bit later and more fun was had by all.
Special story - Oh, btw, I nearly forgot about the heart attack of the week. We're repairing our first tower on Wednesday night and it's up to around 40% when an unannounced cyno goes off 14k from my Nyx! I hit the command channel to make sure itĘs getting killed when I hear one of the M. Pire guys state, "Sorry! Friendly cyno." Bah. Noobs!
So, just as I'm relaxing again, I notice that the cyno is really close to Velios' Hel. In fact... it's coming FROM Velios' Hel!! That's right folks, the man generated a cyno with his mothership. Luckily, the incoming ship bumped him inside the forcefield, thus saving one of our own moms from having to do the same to him.
I love Vels, but apparently, playing LOTR Online for a few weeks causes you to lose brain cells. 
After a long and sleepless week, the Factory outpost in LXWN-W was taken by M.Pire Friday after DT. After several intense seconds of discusssion on TS, it was renamed the 'LXWN House of Pancakes'. At some point during the day, an MC Wyvern got into a bit of trouble and was, according to a nice fellow in local with me today, moved / saved by a GM. It seems cynos on standby are "magic" or something so... thanks, GMs, for saving our Wyvern I guess? 
Anyway, this morning the Capital Shipyard in LXWN was destroyed. It was offline and nothing was inside as far as we know, even if Crovan insists it was storing a Titan made of chocolate. (Seriously, WTF, dude?)
And that's the "news" for the last week!

Nice report and very cool screenie there !!! You should rename it the "4 horseman of the Apocalipse", because they are having a tremendous effect on the entire campaign.
See you tomorrow I guess
