Evanda Char Minmatar Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2007.07.17 13:50:00 - [1] For a number of weeks, now, PIE have been dispatching heavy raiding groups into Republic space. Since the battle of Onga gate, it was clear to us that we couldn't match them battleship-for-battleship, and we were forced to resort to such tactics as frigate swarms to try to pick off their scouts and tacklers. Last Sunday that all changed. Thanks to intensive training by Electus Matari pilots, and the financial security provided by Gradient's "Repubblic Defenders Programme", PIE arrived in Republic space to find us ready. At 19:30, cloaked scouts in systems on their likely entry route reported three Harbingers, a Zealot, a Crusader, two Armageddons and an Apocalypse in Gyng at the Avesber gate, deploying for a camp. We let them - our own camp was deployed in Onga - holding that system meant they couldn't pull their usual trick of cutting our forces in Molden Heath off from our reinforcements in Heimatar and Metropolis. This time we weren't going to play to PIE's strengths and jump into them. Our counter-fleet quickly filled up - a Typhoon, three Dominix, two Megathrons, a Pilgrim, a Blackbird, a Scorpion, a Stabber, a Hurricane (that was me, I can't fly BS ), and the beautiful pairing of a Hyperion and a Myrmidon. Their anathema scout soon spotted the camp, and we soon received news that the PIE fleet was pulling back from our space. Naturally, at that point, I did what any sensible Matari FC would have done, having achieved her objective. We chased them. Some of our fleet remained behind in the Republic, due to the Empire's Navy holding a rather dim view of them being held in such high regard by a nation they are supposedly at peace with. Some of us, of course, just didn't care. En route, we established contact with Ushra'Khan forces who had located their patrol. We pushed on, harder, while Mori Felding brought her dominix by another route, so as to jump the bait ship in from a location where our main fleet wasn't. Some 20 Amarr Navy frigates and 10 cruisers perished to strange accidents during our trip through Amarr space. Our allies in Ushra'Khan relayed excellent intel on the enemy fleet's location, though many of them docked and appeared to retire for the night prior to our arrival. Still, there were targets tempting enough to have meaning for us - Merdaneth's pilgrim, Tevgor Remal's battleship and Gaius Kador's shiny new Navy Auguror. Mori bravely bit the bullet and took the bait ship in. We gave word to the Ushra'Khan fleet that we were moving, but as with the best laid plans, it ganged aft a'glee - Gaven Lok'ri had changed to an interceptor and tackled her somewhat off our planned engagement location. We jumped in all the same, and though Mori's dominix was lost, we dealt with the Pilgrim in short order. Remal's battleship was able to flee, but Kador's pride and joy was already immersed in an enormous blob of drones, completely obscured from sight beneath the tide of "winged monkeys". With the pimpwagon down, we collected the surviving modules from Mori's wreck, reformed our fleet and went home with only a little exuberant chasing of pirates along the way. I'd like to thank Ushra'Khan very much for their intel and the team effort - we were light for fast tacklers, so we couldn't have done much without you. To PIE, good fight, see you next week -Eva- Electus Matari - taking it one bad guy at a time

Not only did PIE forces destroy a Dominix at the Amarr gate in Sarum Prime, but also two Huginns and a Crow. All of this for the loss of a Pilgrim and a Navy Issue Augorer. Not bad considering we were outnumbered by around three to one (not only in raw numbers but also in heavy units). As for our expeditionary force being repelled from Republic space, we fly where we want to fly. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
Devilish Ledoux Caldari Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2007.07.17 14:35:00 - [6] It's worth noting that those 'other' ships were flying under Ushra'Khan colors and that you conveniently forgot to admit what, if any, ships were destroyed by U'K forces in the engagement. No matter. I'm sure no one expects an honest and accurate combat report from the likes of you. _ Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.

As for your relatively light losses, well... if there had been a few more of you to shoot at, we'd certainly have given it a go.

Non the less, fly where you want to fly? laugh I take it that's a wide arch around our forces, not that I blame you. Let's face it, the days of the 'glorius' Golden Fleet are over. ___ Memento Mori

Indeed, the two Huginns and Crow were commanded by Ushra'Khan terrorists rather than Electus Matari Terrorists. However, since both sets of terrorist were flying in what appeared to be a joint fleet, I think that mentioning our other kills has some relevance on the matter in hand.

Verone Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.07.17 14:58:00 - [13] Excellent work Evanda, wonderful to see another blow to the Empire. It's also Amusing to see the Empire Loyalists and the Freecaptains are still measuring and arguing over Kill to Death ratio and who has the larger balls on GalNet. Keep it up chaps, it makes for amusing reading while I'm cooking dinner. >>> THE BEAUTY OF NEW EDEN <<<

Elsebeth Rhiannon Minmatar Gradient Electus Matari	Posted - 2007.07.17 16:00:00 - [21] This newspiece is not about the losses on either side -- though for the record, it is my impression that neither us nor our enemies are in the habit of lying about them. What this is all about is the location of the engagement. Those who want to, can choose to believe that unlike every other Sunday for the past month, this was the one when the PIE fleet wanted to do a short shopping tour to the Republic and then fight in Sarum Prime, instead of the engagement inside Republic borders. Personally, I find that a laughable attempt at propaganda. -- Help us defend the Republic; join Gradient now. "When pirates hate your guts, you know you are doing something right."

Personally, I find that a laughable attempt at propaganda. I will agree that the fact that a combined U'K / EM force of that size managed to get as far as Sarum Prime before being detected is a cause for some concern. However, if the fact that the engagement took place in Sarum Prime is a cause for victory celebrations amongst the terrorist community, then what does that say about the earlier PIE patrols in the Republic which successfully intercepted terrorist vessels there?

Gaius Kador PIE Inc.	Posted - 2007.07.17 16:42:00 - [25] A well coordinated ambush, but your intel is off on one point. TES Fidem was a very old ship, a proud ship.

I find it hard to believe that the PIE fleet did not detect ours, considering they purposefully avoided it and ran from it in the Republic. Maybe they just never let you know? Perhaps you should work on your internal communications. A minor correction of facts: the U'K and EM fleets were not combined in the defense of the Republic areas, but joined only after EM forces pursued the PIE fleet back into the Empire. -- Help us defend the Republic; join Gradient now.

Uh oh, you didn't just admit that Amarr paramilitaries acting as representatives of the Empire are violating Republic territory for raids on a regular basis? No, no, can't be, cause that would be a bit of a breach of the Yulai convention if the Empire is not respecting Republic borders. Kind of would put Midulars attempts of claiming a "peacefull relation" to the slavers as rather pointless. I must have misunderstood you, you would be the first paramilitary to commit this open agreesion towards the Republic (though we all it happens every day).

Loyalist paramilitaries aren't regulated by Yulai in the same way as factional navies. Nor did Rodj mention the empire. Though i am sure Rodj is quite capable of defending his own statment i felt this fact should be made clear, hunting known terrorists is hardly the same as breching republic space to attack the republic directly, but then, you know that, don't you? ----------------------- Auctoritan Syndicate Director
