The fleet gathered outside Amarr Emperor station. Used mostly as a meeting place for operations and as a ceremonial location the often quiet PIE Headquarters today bustled with activity. Multiple golden battleships and other vessels of Amarrian design prepared for a scouting mission into The Bleaklands. Hope was high some Defiant heathens could be located and brought to justice.
Moving away from the massive golden spacestation the fleets golden hulls reflected the sunlight onto the station and nearby monument. Moving into warp the task force of over ten PIE warships, under the command of Admiral Rodj Blake the PIE CEO, moved as one into the depths of The Bleaklands on a mission of faith.
As the patrol moved slowly led by an advanced scouting covert ops vessel no terrorist heathens were sighted. It seems this day the Defiants have chosen once again to cower in the dark corners of their caves hoping to evade the light of righteousness and retribution. A wise decision on their part if you ask me.
"Warning, pirate vessels sighted".
The call came out over PIE voice comms that multiple pirate vessels had been sighted near Auga and Kourmonen. It was well known the Muffinmen pirate corporation operated in this area on occasion bringing death and despair to innocent travellers. The PIE forces moved into the cataclysm and prepared to face off against these enemies of Empire shipping.
The PIE Golden Fleet approaches the gate to Auga....
Moving into Kourmonen the fleet sat at the Auga gate waiting. Several pirate pilots attempted to taunt the brave loyalist fleet into moving to a moon to engage in combat but the PIE fleet, disciplined and dedicated refused the taunts, they fell on deaf ears. A brief sermon was conducted by Archbishop preaching words of wisdom inspired by the holy scriptures demonstrating to the pirate criminals the errors of their ways. Apparently this was more then they could take.
After the first volley of Pirate ships were destroyed the Amarrians didn't have long to wait for more....
The pirates warped in but the Amarrian forces had planned for that and after several pirates opened fire the Amarrians jumped through the gate into Auga and took up position. Sure enough several pirates jumped to follow but several could not due to timers on the gate and their low -10.0 like security statuses. The slaughter began.
Wreckage surrounds the gate as ships were destroyed in the name of God....
Holy fire lept from the turrets of the golden Amarrian warships ripping thru the hulls of the pirate vessels. More and more pirate vessels succumbed to the holy fire of the faithful. Aboard his flagship the TES Sinkiller the VADM Archbishop ordered barrages of missiles launched at enemy ships. Yet for each ship destroyed it seemed more arrived.
The pirates were reshipping at a nearby station apparently.

Still the Amarrian loyalists stood their ground destroying far more than they lost. When at last the Amarrians were forced to withdraw due to the third trip reshipping of the pirates the losses were still honorable as the pirates lost ship after ship after ship. The Amarrian losses included the Armageddon Battleships of Kumo T'Sun, Cpt Constantinus, Irishranger and Vlad Konstatinov.
The TES Sinkiller flies past the wreckage of a Tempest as it prepares to lock another target shortly before it was destroyed in the battle....
The Sacrilege of Archbishop also succumbed to the fire of three enemy Battleships after holding it's own for nearly eight minutes on the field of battle. On the pirate side two Ravens, two Tempests, a Hyperion and an elite Battlecruiser were lost as well as a Caracal. Far more in value than a few Amarrian Armageddons. The superiority of Amarrian design and armor shone through the battle.
After the battle reports came in of several ships looting the wrecks in the area of the battle. Pirate commander 0o0Preatorian0o0 said in local "Unless you were here for the fight get away from the loot". Investigating the gate to Kourmonen the PIE Captain Monsignor in his covert ops Pilgrim noted several pilots of the Star Fraction hanging around. He did not witness them personally stealing the loot of those who perished in combat however they did jump in and out several times and were observed loitering around several wrecks. I guess they were taking in the sights.
Wrecks and Corpses litter the gate to Koumonen in Auga.....
Withdrawing to a nearby base the PIE forces were able to replace their losses immediately due to the shipyard logistic efforts of it's industrial division and soon will again ply the lanes of the Bleaklands in search of those who would do injustice to the faithful. While the Defiants are the target all who oppose the will of God will be met with His holy word and His holy light.
His will shall be done.

I am not sure why you think denying materiel to people who are our enemies, be it you, or be it those pirates you were fighting, is something that needs adverse comment. The wrecks of enemies that are the result of enemy action are not sacrosanct. Only the wrecks of enemies that have been killed by friends or neutrals are off-limits to our pilots, as well as the wrecks of neutrals and friends naturally.
I myself would never feel entitled to loot that which was not earned in battle but that is the morality of the Amarrian way. Still thank you for clarifying your position on removing loot from vessels you have not killed.
I am still recovering from my experience of having to seek transport on a Minmatar shuttle after my ship was destroyed. Once the medical officer is done with the immunizations and an observation period I will be able to return to active duty.

If you were there to kill me you were about 20 minutes late.
Battle Begins in Auga:
The battle actually began about a minute earlier but I was lagged entering the system by some mysterious gravimetric forces and was unable to obtain a target lock.
[ 2007.12.16 20:05:21 ] (combat) Your Thunderbolt Heavy Missile hits Cripp [FSCUM], doing 52.5 damage.
Battle Ends in Auga:
[ 2007.12.16 20:12:00 ] (combat) Caldari Navy Inferno Torpedo belonging to Nevcair hits you, doing 114.6 damage.
[ 2007.12.16 20:12:01 ] (notify) Ship is out of control
[ 2007.12.16 20:12:01 ] (notify) Warping to Auga III
[ 2007.12.16 20:12:01 ] (notify) Ship is out of control
Star Fraction Arrives in Auga:
[ 2007.12.16 20:28:58 ] El Berto > nice ride archbishop
Anyway it appears from these records my ship lasted quite awhile in battle with the pirates. Likewise we took out quite a few more of them then we lost and we didn't need to reship 2-3 times as they did to do it. I am satisfied with the results.
The pirate menace will not be tolerated. Notice has been served these pirates who are a threat to peaceful Amarrian shipping will not be allowed to continue hinderance free their activities of crime and destruction.
Amarr Victor!

I am mildly concerned that PIE is defending Amarr shipping lanes in Auga, which is in the Republican region of Heimatar, not in the Bleak Lands.
There is no "Republic" only the Amarr Empire and the renegade systems temporarily occupied by terrorists who betrayed their Amarrian betters and embraced a culture of hate. In the end all will return to the fold.

I carry slaves aboard my ships and occasionally have some issues with renegade border patrol agents near the so called "Republic". They are my property and it is my duty to enlighten them. Case closed.

No, somebody used to the sly, sneering and mendacious style of the cleric in question would quite clearly see what he is up to. Your chaplain had a choice: refrain from mentioning us as, by his own admission, we played no part in the battle he was reporting on; or mention us with some intention of his own. I hardly think he mentioned us to give us publicity.
I only took pains to mention you due to this little fact...
[ 2007.12.16 20:28:47 ] (notify) Heartstone: You have foolishly engaged in criminal activity within sight of sentry guns and must suffer the consequences.
[ 2007.12.16 20:28:49 ] (combat) Heartstone [JERIC]<-SF-> misses you completely.
[ 2007.12.16 20:28:49 ] (combat) <color=0xffbb6600>Heartstone [JERIC]<-SF-> lightly hits you, doing 121.6 damage.
[ 2007.12.16 20:28:49 ] (combat) Heartstone [JERIC]<-SF-> lands a hit on you which glances off, causing no real damage..... (etc etc etc)
Your ship fired on me. So yes you were not relevant to the battle at hand and only were mentioned because of the comments of the pirate leader in local and the observations by our own Captain Monsignor who I said couldn't verify anything except your loitering in the area.
You've explained your policy on removing loot from cans there as a result of battle you didn't participate in. I'm satisfied with your explanation.
