This has been a day The Establishment has long expected. It has been longer than we expected in fact, but it is true that we must regretfully report the destruction of Hera by the hands of those pesky Russians. She has been perhaps the most talked about, most feared, most respected Mothership in the entire game... not to mention one of the first to ever enter Tranquility. Love her or hate her, Hera has been and hopefully will always remain a major part of EVE History and The Establishment is honoured to have shown people the way forward with how to use these beasts.
How did this sad (or good depending on your opinion of us) news come to pass you might ask? It is perhaps a case of being stabbed in the back. The Establishment has been helping Ethereal Dawn escort Freighter convoy's through 0.0. Legion of Death are allies of ED and were told not to shoot at EST Ships. It seems though, that having seen our Capital Fleet in a previous engagement they set a trap for us and caught our convoy in a bubble. Naturally we jumped in our Capital's to defend the Freighters, but it seems backup arrived in the form of an RA Capital Fleet including a Titan.
Several bubbles were placed around our fleet and being unable to warp out, did our utmost to fight until the very end. Seek's Archon was the first to die (poor boy has lost 3 Carriers now), followed by my Thanatos - itself a survivor of 2-3 major attacks on her - and then Brox's Chimera. Finally all firepower was concentrated on Hera.
Cap dead, desynced and unable to fight against the remote repping of the enemy Capital Fleet, the ledgendary Hera finally succumbed to the onslaught. ED tried to stop the attack saying that we were allies, but alas it was too late. I might add, before rumours start circulating, that Rawthorm did not log off at any time during the attack, we discussed self-destruction on TS but we quickly decided we'd rather go down swinging.
It has been a tremendous 16 months, and The Establishment has had so many good times and good memories as a result. Regardless of what you think of us and how we used her, we know we used her to the very best of our abilities, wherever and whenever possible and many of you have the scars to prove it

How did this sad (or good depending on your opinion of us) news come to pass you might ask? It is perhaps a case of being stabbed in the back. The Establishment has been helping Ethereal Dawn escort Freighter convoy's through 0.0. Legion of Death are allies of ED and were told not to shoot at EST Ships. It seems though, that having seen our Capital Fleet in a previous engagement they set a trap for us and caught our convoy in a bubble. Naturally we jumped in our Capital's to defend the Freighters, but it seems backup arrived in the form of an RA Capital Fleet including a Titan. http://www.wearrsoyarr.com
Our relationship with ED is purely for operational reasons. We are not in any way or form Allied with them. We have given ED an NAP at GoonSwarm's request. It is not my problem if you do not wish to notify ED's neighbors of your intent ahead of time - our policy has always been and will always be NBSI. It is unfortunate that this kill took place on an op with mutual friendlies, but EST showed up as neutral in our collective overview.
They kill our merlins - we kill their carriers. They kill our Thanatos - we kill their Aeon. They kill our Tempest - we kill their Nyx.
That is our retribution

Respect to the old girl, Hera. I've fought her on several occasions and can easily say, it would have been nice to kill her, but the way it was done is the lowest of the low that only Red Alliance and their Russian allies are capable.
I hope you get another Nyx soon to take the fight to them now.

Along with being one of the first motherships to grace Tranquility, Hera was one of, if not the first to be used in direct frontline combat.
It's been a pleasure for myself and my members to fly alongside her in the past, be it a full scale joint campaign or a single chance encounter in space.
On more occasions that I could ever hope to count I've been left in a state of awe at the sheer amount of devestation she could cause with such a skilled and intrepid player at the helm.
Fearless has never been enough of a word to describe how this ship was used, resulting in practically a legedary state of reputation among everyone who came into contact with her.
Nothing more can be said other than Hera was one of the first, is so far probably the longest surviving, and has seen more frontline combat than any other mothership on Tranquility.

Firstly, RIP a damn good ship.
I had a long history with this ship. In my opening days as an FC in the 9uy pirate war I used to loath seeing her jump into system. Later on when we tried to trap her I spent many hours planning how to bring about her ultimate end.
After the pirate war i spent a lot of time skirmishing with EST and lost still more ships to her and again attempted killing blows / traps :P
Having EST on side for the second assault on 9uy, having her there in x-r3 when we dropped CVA's Capital ship yard, this ship was an awe inspiring sight.
This ship had history, its commander has class (and balls of steel!). Sad way to go to a trap but good that you went down swinging. Hope to see your new incarnation :P

I was accually wvery sad when I read the news. Remeber back as a 2mill ASS noob the first glimps of Hera...with respect and fear. Was the first mothership I ever saw...and is the mothership that IS THE MOTHERSHIP in my eyes. THe others is just a number.
Too bad it went down while to a such accidence....Should atleast been a proper reason, not backstabbed by some reds, friendly or not.
Hope u will get a new one...as u farmed cnrs and mission ravens well over the months:)

Telling my alliance members in local - who have no say in our alliance politics - that you're working for ED is not official information.

Im not gonna bash any further over the whole incident. Hera is dead, the deed is now done.
As for our relationship with ED, you can speculate all you want but you'll find the truth rather dull and boring.
I doubt they will afterall they even swear in their corp description they are that cool, I mean how cool is that?

AS far as I know....even Im niether ED nor EST, EST owed ED a favor...and wanted to repay em. Too bad Reds screwes their owns allied alliance m8s Ops to kill a so and so valid target, blue or not.
bet reds would have killed it anyway...even if EST had asked for standings.

glad to see that you keep up the standard goon response of trolling away :)
1. learn facts 2. post 3. see 1.
seriously get a clue. Hell look at the kills with it for one :)
Actually he is right. For ex. check kills in Gyerzen. Spercaps in losec are lame and invulnerable. Tho EST's nyx was used in 0.0 pretty often compared to some others that saw 0.0 only when they were produced...

The Establishment killed a goon (a really stupid goon, there's a good story about lowsec rating with that one) carrier earlier this month. The Nyx was even first on the killmail. I hear goonswarm and the Reds are allied?
I find it weird that people jack off to an invincible (barring desynch or power outage) ship in lowsec being, well, invincible in lowsec. "I spent hours thinking of a way to trap and kill it (but never could)"

Fight was as clean as it could be. dictor let scout pass, bubble around 7- freits (and 2+ freits) and 2 bs() escort. 15-17 strong fleet jumped from side system to bubbled gate and engage freits. Est mother jumpes in with a pair of carriers into bubble. Legion cyno opened and capitals/RA support manage to jump thru it, before cyno-man is dead. Est bring more carrier(s) to help Nyx. Together they kill some dictors and bs and cariers remote repp Nyx. carriers go down and longly after Nyx. edit:(and again my sincere apologies to UA ship's acidently fired upon becouse of overview bug )

This. I think ED are blue to both Goonswarm and RA, but The Establishment has shot and continues to shoot us, so there's no conflict of interests here. If EST wanted to be set blue because they were working with our allies they should have contacted the diplomats of xDEATHx and RA, they didn't so they lost their mothership. There was no backstabbing.

Take all the standings issues out of the equation, there was a good 60 seconds between the interdictor dropping a bubble on the convoy (which had ships blue to you in it) and the support arriving.
During this time and throughout the following 15 minutes of combat, Ethreal Dawn themselves continualy informed you that the convoy was carrying Ethreal Dawn property. The fact you continued to engage shows COMPLETE disregard for your allies just to get a kill. Don't try and paint it anyother way because they all knew what the deal was with the convoy.

Though yeah, somebody else said it better, but of all the supercaps out there, Hera was probably the one I'd least like to see dead. The Establishment are good fellas and I hope they keep on enjoying EVE. |

Here is to the best vessel a captain could ever ask for. She served me well.
I also thank all Hera's fans, friend and foe alike who've amazingly started donating ISK to fund her sucessor. No such action was asked of you and you have my thanks for doing so
Hats off to you sir. You are a genuinely nice guy who always fielded my questions in a friendly manner. I am genuinely happy to see that you got your minutes of guns a blazin and taking as much of the opposition that was around you as possible before succumbing to the horde.
I can assure you from experience that going down without being able to counterpunch at all isn't anything I'd wish on anyone...even my sworn enemies.
I know Hera II will be just as feared as the original. That is ofc if you follow through with the idea of reacquisition. I hope you do....I know I'm reacquiring a mom to replace my loss :) It's just not the same flying anything else after having a long run in a mothership.

The fact of the matter is: you decided to move stuff around Russian space while being openly hostile to them and you got burnt because of it. I couldn't care less about your relationship with ED and what it entailed. They decided to hire you without talking to us about it and they also got burnt. Either you or ED should have discussed this with the Russian diplomats, you can't blame them for shooting the freighters and motherships of a known pirate alliance that has openly engaged them. You also can't blame them for ignoring you when you tried to stop it, especially after the whole Curse Alliance fiasco with bitter ex-V members hiding under their protection.
That said, The Establishment is probably the only decent pirate corp around and I hope you replace the mothership quickly because at least you know how use it properly.

The fact of the matter is: you decided to move stuff around Russian space while being openly hostile to them and you got burnt because of it. I couldn't care less about your relationship with ED and what it entailed. They decided to hire you without talking to us about it and they also got burnt. Either you or ED should have discussed this with the Russian diplomats, you can't blame them for shooting the freighters and motherships of a known pirate alliance that has openly engaged them. You also can't blame them for ignoring you when you tried to stop it, especially after the whole Curse Alliance fiasco with bitter ex-V members hiding under their protection.
That said, The Establishment is probably the only decent pirate corp around and I hope you replace the mothership quickly because at least you know how use it properly.

Rest in peace Hera. Got ganked by it myself once in deep 0.0. It was well piloted and not just hidden in low sec. Everything comes to an end at some point. Now go get a new one!

How did this sad (or good depending on your opinion of us) news come to pass you might ask? It is perhaps a case of being stabbed in the back. The Establishment has been helping Ethereal Dawn escort Freighter convoy's through 0.0. Legion of Death are allies of ED and were told not to shoot at EST Ships. It seems though, that having seen our Capital Fleet in a previous engagement they set a trap for us and caught our convoy in a bubble. Naturally we jumped in our Capital's to defend the Freighters, but it seems backup arrived in the form of an RA Capital Fleet including a Titan. http://www.wearrsoyarr.com
Our relationship with ED is purely for operational reasons. We are not in any way or form Allied with them. We have given ED an NAP at GoonSwarm's request. It is not my problem if you do not wish to notify ED's neighbors of your intent ahead of time - our policy has always been and will always be NBSI. It is unfortunate that this kill took place on an op with mutual friendlies, but EST showed up as neutral in our collective overview.
They kill our merlins - we kill their carriers. They kill our Thanatos - we kill their Aeon. They kill our Tempest - we kill their Nyx.
That is our retribution
Official after action report comming soon.
You were officialy informed on each run we did and likewise your guys acknowledged that we were working for ED and told us in local we wouldnt be hindered in anyway. That is the only reason we passed and the only reason we didnt blow your collective asses away the first time.
Still that aside, good trap.
I hope you learned your lessons: never trust russians! They did though what others alliances didn't succeed, even if the way you got trapped is suspicious.
Strenght and honor! |

I think The Establishment owes the Russians an apology.
It was EST and ED that FAILED in communicating with their allies. You don't just pop inside a system telling local noobs that you are allies and waltz through. You f*cked up big time. YOU f*cked up, not the Russians, so don't be a bunch of whiney *******s about it.
And as for defaming them as backstabbers, you owe them an apology.

I have to laugh at the occasional hater in this thread, when you fly such an expensive ship as aggressively as Hera was flown, then you can start with the smack.
I will echo Sapph's statement, having flown against, and later with, this ship I will say that it lead a full life and was a force on the field. I was really impressed with how cool under pressure it was flown, I thought the crew of such a huge ship would be more aloof, but I saw them risk it on more than one occasion for an ally in need.

Outgunned for sure, out classed hardly :)
No one is denying that it was used in 0.4... the point is that for almost any one of their 0.4 kills there's at least a few in 0.0 to go with it. I've seen it frontlined all over providence and into catch in the past year. Any time they're in the area you'd see that ship jumping in daily at least.
She was piloted well, she was used like a MoM should be, not just kept in lowsec. Get over yourself if you can't accept this.

I lol @ the people saying EST had balls for deploying this ship. OH RLY? With the smartbombs it had fit and it taking so long to kill even though many in this thread openly admit to failing to kill it after much planning you know that it's horse****.
It takes no balls to deploy a mothership. See if they bother getting a new one seeing as dictors have been boosted into supercap killing champions now.

Our statement is a simple statement of our perspective of the entire matter. We do not deny we lost, we got our arses handed to us no doubt and we are not afraid to admit that. Nor do we deny we used the Mothership in low-sec, we have often used it in low-sec as we have 0.0. We are equal opportunity pirates when it comes to system security

I never got the chance to see her sadley, dispite at least a few encounters with EST and now i never will, a deathmail from Hera would have been a keeper

What I am bothered about, is that they cost their own allies (Ethreal Dawn) considerable loss just to get a shot at killing Hera. They knew we had ED property on board yet they set us up and went ahead with it regardless.
You can put all the spin you want on it but the fact remains you wantedly destroyed your own allies property to get to us, and with not so much as an apology or an offer of re-imbersement. THAT is what I have a problem with.

And why, exactly, was your mothership carrying valuable property away from the destination, into battle? Any ED want to chime in?

Much respect to EST and Hera, truely an unfortunate loss. Only supercap i've personally seen, and I was fortunate to be in friendly ops all the times I saw her.
As to what was EDs, there's a good chance some of the ships in the hanger array were ours, may have loaned out carriers (some of us have spares to go with our spare clones), high probability of some loaned freighters - after all some of us have 5 or 6 floating around near various clones and operations. Unfortunatly I wasn't around or involved in the planning or diplomatic aspects, since this strange thing called First Life has been a pain in my arse lately; so my understanding is limited.
To the haters and trolls, can it. In the end she went down fighting as well as she could, considering the what has come out about the fight, and that's the mark of a true warrior. Just for that respect is deserved. -- "There are over 500 million fire arms in worldwide circulation. That is one fire arm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is... How do we arm the other eleven?"

Originally by: Cefte Insert trolling stuff here
I had hoped not to have to post on these god awful forums, but having been there and actually having been shot at I guess I should.
I had assets that needed moving from our space to empire for sale. It was ultimately a safer bet to throw it inside the Establishment's mothership than have it fly by vulnerable hauler or sit loose inside a freighter. Many of said freighters were owned by myself and given to any pilot willing to fly them, both Establishment and other corporations as no one in the alliance had the time to spare.
When the first interdictor bubble went up, I asked for the Nyx to be jumped in to remote repair the freighters while the attacking force was reminded who they belonged to. I had no idea that half of a supposedly allied force was going to jump in and blow us away. I personally have been on every convoy and informed the locals on the intent of the convoy. Yes I could have contacted an official diplomat for standings, but again I didnÆt believe that we would have a major allied fleet dropped on us despite me personally informing every local we saw what the deal was.
There simply is no excuse on the part of the attacking force. They were informed in no uncertain terms that Establishment were carrying our property. Further more, on my instruction Establishment deliberately allowed all normal local traffic to pass unhindered and had agreed not to pirate the local area. The only non-hostile local that was harmed was a single Legion of xXDEATHXx Myrmidon that refused to break off its attack on our convoy earlier in the week. After this we were told repeatedly by different members of xXDEATHXx that we would be left alone. They may not have been directors that I know of but where I come from a corporation is responsible for the members on its roster and any such promises should not have been used as a cheap way to lay a trap.

The final tally of Hera (according to EST kb):
approx: 1900 kills of which 784 were battleships, 23 were carriers, 14 were freighters, and 5 were dreadnaughts!
191 BILLION isk in damage done!
I aim to say this ship was one of the, if not the most deadly ship of her time?

Sad to see Hera go, even if I hate supercaps. Damn first time I saw here she locked me and I really panicked, mind you I was in a scorp, stupid broken EW invulnerability .
I can't figure out how you locked me in 0.0 since the goons seem to say you only pirate in lowsec.

Edited by: Mc Leech on 25/08/2007 17:19:22 Let me paint a picture from our point of view:
A. A known pirate corporation that as was mention has -10 standing to RA was escorting neutral freighters to ED station.
LetÆs see, if you are a pirate corp. living in low sec where would you build your capital ships, hmmm....
B. They escorting freighters for 2 days in a row with "unknown ED property" (lol)
This means at least 2 mothers or a titan.
Yes as much as I want to believe that EST are such a swell guys and decided to give you a hand moving 30+ freighters with "your property" I would say chances of that to be true are about 1:1000000. The fact that you did not in any way try to contact RA or GS leadership to inform them on this op only proves that.
So here are the facts: ED was in a gang with our enemies helping to move neutral freighters without informing us of their intents. Not only I donÆt think we did anything wrong, but if anyone was backstabbing someone it was ED backstabbing us by working with our enemies.
The only thing ED has a right to ask Legion of xxDeathxx for right now is to adjust their standing downward. If thatÆs what you want feel free to contact our diplomat we will be happy to comply...

Originally by: Yuki Michi Establishment were carrying our property.
It's somewhat mystifying that you decided your possessions would be safer in the hands of an entity that's run around indiscriminately pirating most of 0.0 and lowsec. You need a little more diplomacy than just "no wait that's our stuff aaaaa" to get your blues on board with the idea, particularly when that excuse sounded (and still sounds) suspiciously like a last-ditch attempt to cover for EST under the circumstances.
EST's mothership was a pretty fearsome war machine, perhaps you should have put a bit more thought into unilaterally attempting to treat and use it like the cuddly carebear spacebus. Signature removed - please email us to find out why (include a link) - Jacques([email protected]) |

Originally by: Baxalusx Edited by: Baxalusx on 25/08/2007 12:57:56 hera was just as much an unbalanced piece of crap as any other supercap in the game and if you get a new one you better stay in lowsec where you belong because there's lots of dictors here in 0.0 xD
no amount of circlejerking over the memory or the wreck will change the fact that once your supercap was made vulnerable, it died a pretty pathetic death in an environment you just aren't used to (hurr supercap in 0.0 without a support fleet)
this isn't lowsec, go home

Different people having different opinions?
I'm not really sure why goons are trolling this thread so hard aside from the way EST/ED have been whining about the circumstances surrounding the loss. That mothership was pretty much an endless fountain of comedic overkill. In particular, it's responsible for the loss of Eldoreth's carrier (Goonfleet's timecarded carrier pilot newbie [he quit]) which led to one of the funniest threads on our forums in recent memory.

RA even reaviled their Titan , inc type and titan pilot to kill a "nuetral" ms(which was helping blues) and blue freighters ues, while been in heavy war with Bob.

Yeah dude naming your ship Torch of Heracles or Chorus of God really makes you an intellectual gentlemen and a man of distinguished tastes. Surely, 3000 years ago when the Greeks were working out which god turned into what and raped who they were secretly hoping, deep within themselves, that someday an internet nerd would name his assembly of e-code and textures after one of their stories.

You can spin until you're dizzy but there's no reason for RED and XIX to not shoot the Establishment. They're not cuddly carebears and they're certainly not friendly to RED and OHGOD. If ED wants to pal around with them and loan them freighters, that's their risk, particularly since they didn't exactly advertise that to their blues until EST was under the gun, at which point it reeks of bull****.

Nice lecture about naming. I'm sure 3000 years ago, the greeks were circle-jirking about the fact that some time later someone will build a god-awfull concrete Pantheon in a far away land with cities such as Athens of Georgia, or maybe the mighty Athens of Ohio with the whopping population of 21000. Let us not forget the capital of intellectual culture that is Amsterdam of New York, population 18000 intellectual souls full of rich heritage that spawns 3 generations of frogs.
Oh yes, a lesson about circle-jirking to the name of a greek goddess is very welcomed from the people with such proud, traditions that have been enduring from "we wasted the indians" to "now". :)
Oh, and sad to see Hera going down like that but chatting with local about how you are helping is close to stupidity. You should have contacte the russians and the goons, but considering how decrepit russian diplomacy is ... doubt you would of had much success there. Goons probably would have lured you into a trap and would of make a circle-jirking about it.

The Establishment were approached by ED to assist in a project to forward our alliance. The nature of the project is not important other than standings were never forgotten and no intention or plan to undermine anyone allied to ED ever entered out thoughts.
ED has lost assets to people we view with much respect but **** happens. Not the first time we have lost assets to people we called friends other than this time we hope we remain friends.
The agreement between Ethereal Dawn and The Establishment was honoured without question or thought of risk. They did what many of us could not do and take it on the chin in our eyes they are the closest thing to legends in EVE than anyone before them. We can not give them anymore respect because they have it all already.
That in mind is the whole reason for the agreement; we want to learn from the best in an area we really want to be good at. This thinking may never sit right on a political landscape but should not be assumed as back stabbing.
Much Respect goes out to Hera, and the pilots that fell in this engagement. I have to say having a titan jumped on top of you is definatly a hell of a way to go down for a mothership..

On topic; Ethereal Dawn are to blame for this loss for thinking spamming crap in local equals sorting standings. EST are to blame for letting incompetents handle standings for them and foolishly jumping their mothership in on russians to remote rep freighters (lol)
I was always under impression ED were goon pets, really doubt they'd be blue to any of the russians if goons hadn't asked for standings for them, I remember refusing to blue them when I was asked to set them from red to blue, nobody seemed to care particularly or pursue the point.
GJ using your mothership actively and aggressively for a long time, eventually you got sloppy and died, there was no backstab.

Originally by: Rawthorm Edited by: Rawthorm on 25/08/2007 15:28:12 I do feel I need to clarfiy something here (despite that it wont change a thing) I'm not so much bothered that xxdeathxx and RA attacked us. We've ****ed off alot of people, as being a pirate tends to do that. Hera's eventual death was inevitable.
What I am bothered about, is that they cost their own allies (Ethreal Dawn) considerable loss just to get a shot at killing Hera. They knew we had ED property on board yet they set us up and went ahead with it regardless.
You can put all the spin you want on it but the fact remains you wantedly destroyed your own allies property to get to us, and with not so much as an apology or an offer of re-imbersement. THAT is what I have a problem with.
Stop crying in space, noone can hear you. You are -10 to RA, you always been and you always will be. Noone backstabed you, don't try to be a drama queen, it doesn't suits you right. ED are not our allies, we set them blue cos of GS request only. They never contacted us in order to inform about est helping them. Also you are crying about desync as every ms pilot who loses ms, but somehow you managed to take down 4 out of 6 our dictors one by one and only remout repping from 4 carriers saved remaining 2. Spin that as you wish.

Let us not forget the capital of intellectual culture that is Amsterdam of New York, population 18000 intellectual souls full of rich heritage that spawns 3 generations of frogs.
I'm not sure why you're focusing on America here, given that this trend is pretty visable within most countries. County Durham, in the north east of England, has a village called Quebec, named for the Canadian province. It has the Penshaw Monument, a half-sized replica of the Temple of Hephaestus. On the flip side, there's a Durham in New England, and as far as I'm aware George Washington's name, and thus Washington DC's name, originated from the town of Washington that lies in nearby Tyne and Wear.
And it's not clear if you agree or disagree with him.

During the pirate siege of 9UY over a year ago I used to have frequent dreams about Hera. None of them was in an Eve setting. I think the most bizzare was the one when it flew down over my street whilst I was washing the car and everyone ran for cover indoors whilst it smartbombed those that were too slow to get their fat arses safe.
EST have my everlasting respect for the way they flew the best looking ship in Eve.
RIP

What is this link to a non-existant wiki article supposed to signify? That you hate America because it harbours homosexuals? That doesn't seem very enlightened.
And let's not even get started on the guy doing the "hilarious" accents a few posts up.
It's a chorus ... it was linked somewhere and i picked it up. Don't tell me that putting a link to a chorus on the internets, that happens to be named "San Francisco *** Men's Chorus" shows that "That you hate America because it harbours homosexuals?".

I suggest the replacement is called either Hebe, Ares or Eileithyia.
Or maybe something that isn't tremendously ***
Somebody doesn't know their greek mythology. Oh well.
Yeah dude naming your ship Torch of Heracles or Chorus of God really makes you an intellectual gentlemen and a man of distinguished tastes. Surely, 3000 years ago when the Greeks were working out which god turned into what and raped who they were secretly hoping, deep within themselves, that someday an internet nerd would name his assembly of e-code and textures after one of their stories.
Just name it Wreckless or Bismark or Don DeLillo and get it over with.

Oh yes, a lesson about circle-jirking to the name of a greek goddess is very welcomed from the people with such proud, traditions that have been enduring from "we wasted the indians" to "now". :)
Oh, and sad to see Hera going down like that but chatting with local about how you are helping is close to stupidity. You should have contacte the russians and the goons, but considering how decrepit russian diplomacy is ... doubt you would of had much success there. Goons probably would have lured you into a trap and would of make a circle-jirking about it.

WHEN the establishment get a new mom (and I'm sure that ED will be building one quite soon - or they damn well ought to be) how about calling it...
Aether
"The personification of the pure upper air in which the gods reside, in contrary to the 'aer', the lower air which mortals breathe. In the early Greek cosmologies, Aether is the son of Erebus and Nyx, and the brother of Hemera. He is one of the elements of the cosmos and in the Orphic hymns he is mentioned as the soul of the world from which all life emanates."

Hardly the same now is it
Sadly listening to you guys detracts from remembering hiding in a pos while Hera proweled outside of it, totally invulnerable to our firepower and smartbombing anyone stupid enough to go to the edge near her during the 9UY siege. It is a shame they are so common now.

I suggest you go look at their killboard and look at the actual kills on it. You will not see too many epic battles there but you willl see a ton of lone BS and hauelrs getting ganked.

Respect to Hera and Ign0ramus, I had many fun encounters with her fighters back in U'K' space flying under Spiderweb's skin.
I will never forget the tanking test marathons vs her fighters outside Unity (now a sad reminder of the death of RP in the hands of CVA).
Respect to EST. You guys were true gentlemen when it came to PVP execution. Cloaks, ambushes, quick cyno traps you name it, EST were always an intelligent and unconventional force.

Lets think about this rationally:
Would YOU hire a notorious well known pirate entity to move billions of your stuff? A sane person would think they'd nick the content and pod you for much less.
EST&ED deserved to lose whatever they lost for scheming this type of deal behind the backs of their friends and neighbours and this now leaves open the question of whether there's some closer involvement between the two, something that everyone should be aware of when dealing with ED in the future.
