The Captains Log 15/4

Solarsystem: HP-6Z6

Ship: Armageddon Class Battleship

As Julius Ceaser once said (sort of) We came. We saw. We conquered. Over the last few days Noir. has being tacking sovereignty in the systems in the H-KW4A constellation in Providence, which can be seen below.

As you can see it is a nice little constellation that is easily defendable with one entry system,  it contains four stations and has a decent amount of belts, not that it matters much when we have anomalies.

I was present for the capture of the first system that came out of reinforced, H9-J8N, in which my Chimera, Pride of the Pantheon, got its first combat experience. For the most part AAA did the hard work while Noir. shot the last little bit of structure so the station flipped over to us.

Conquest: You can see the Armageddon I was flying and my Chimera in this picture.

Once the station flipped over to us we than went and destroyed the CVA Territorial Claim Unit, with the might of the AAA cap fleet it was reduced to space dust within a couple minutes, and put up our own TCU.

Down with the Empire: Removing the TCU and the trace of CVA from our new system.

Noir. isn’t the only alliance to gain space in Providence recently, in fact our little campaign has been part of larger push by AAA to remove CVA from providence completely and install new sov holders in what is being termed New Providence. New Providence is going to hold about 20 or sov holding alliances who will not engage in territorial warfare against each other, but will still be involved in roaming gangs. If you really want to know more about I suggest you check out this thread, it covers what has been happening in providence quite well.

Of course with Noir. tacking a slice of the 0.0 pie there was a lot talk on the Kugutsmen forums about Noir’s future intentions in regards to holding sov and about our future relationship with AAA. The official Noir blog covers this pretty well. effectively once our space is secure we are going to be resetting our standings with AAA and will engage in combat with them, either on contract or off contract. Our space is in reality going to be holiday home where we can come and make a bit of ISK in-between contracts and keep our PvP skills up to scratch and will not be something that holds a large sway over us. It is there to serve us, not for us to serve it.

Looking for renters

With us holding sov though Noir. leadership has decided that we will rent our systems to our to people that would like a little bit of 0.0 action. You will have access to all four stations in our constellations as well ratting and mining rights and you will also be able to set up a POS for a small fee. Furthermore, you will be able to join our alliance, Lucky Starbase Syndicate and not even have to worry about setting standings with corps or alliances. It will cost you 100mill per month, a real bargain (it used to cost my old alliance 3 billion a month to rent a constellation in Esoteria). For information either join our public channel “Cafe Noir.” (don’t forget the . at the end of Noir.) or contact Asuka Smith.

The Captains Log 9/4

Region: Providence

Shiptype: Manticore Class Stealth Bomber

The war, or should I say murder train, continues in Providence. So far Noir. has been keeping our little pocket of Providence thoroughly pacified and there has been a rather large lack of resistance (there has been some but only limited).

While there may be no organised resistance there has been the usual traffic of people trying to escape a sinking ship. In fact we even managed to kill a CVA freighter worth 2.8 billion that was trying to escape while they thought we were not looking.

Another person went to try and take down one of their POS’s they had offlined only to realise they had two guns still anchored so they would have to unanchore the guns before they can get the POS out. So they onlined the POS and we came in and incapacitated the guns, so now they have to either rep the guns or blow them up before they can get the POS out, which gives a opportunity to shoot them.

Then there are the people who like to run plexs…. while we are flying around and then wonder why they got killed.

Ryokin Garesh > Mind leavin me be ?

Ryokin Garesh > Real tough fight for ya huh?

Ryokin Garesh > Congrats assholes, you managed to defeat the HUGE danger of a single drake

We even finished the Plex for him since we are so nice.

So far we have destroyed 288 ships, worth 16.38 billion ISK while we have only lost 22 ships worth a total of 1.35 billion, with a biggest defeat being a CVA gang that was specifically designed to kill our ECM ships. Unfortunately, for them we now know about so we can avoid it and let them fly around while we stay cloaked up or we can fit a counter gang.

While we have made the locals cower in their stations, AAA has come through put all the stations and infrastructure hubs into their second reinforcement timer, so we can expect to tack these systems within the next couple of days unless CVA and friends decided to put up a last ditch defence fleet which will ultimately achieve nothing.

En mass: The AAA cap fleet doing their thing

Flock: The Fighters from the Carriers and Supper Carriers block out the station.  

Soon this space will be ours.

Preparation for War

The Captains Log 6/4

Region: Providence

Shiptype: Cerabus Class Heavy Assult Ship

So our operation went off without a hitch last night, the goal was to deploy Sovereignty Blockade Units throughout a constellation in Providence, which is part of a larger initiative tacking place across the whole of Providence to remove CVA from providence completely. The first stage of the operation was utilising a Titan to Titan Bridge our fleet into the target system, after which we proceeded to deploy our SBU’s and protect them against awesome might of CVA and allies who brought Stealth Bombers to the field to try and kill our fleet. Let us just say that they failed.

Insertion: The Noir. Titan bridges us into the target system.

After our SBU’s were deployed we flew around killing the Provi Holders Stealth Bombers, only to learn that they had a 50 man fleet gathering on the constellation entry gate. As we didn’t quite have the man power to take them on, we informed AAA of their presence and they brought down their 200 man fleet and squished them. Not content with killing that fleet AAA came into the constellation and proceeded to knock out CVA’s cyno jammers and once the SBU’s had finished onlining they put the stations into reinforced as well.  Apparently, while that was happening we caught three of their Titans in one of our Bubbles.

A little later I got to set up a rape cage around their central station preventing anyone from docking directly at the station and more importantly preventing them from undocking without being caught in our lovely bubble trap. You would be surprised at how often people will do this after someone else has already been caught once. Well I guess some people just can’t learn.

Rape Cage. No one wants to be here

In another couple days after the stations come out of reinforced I guess we will find out how determined CVA is to keep this space.
