Sayings of my Master
Hell is not punishment, it’s training.
The most important thing is to find out what is the most important thing.
Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water. The moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken. Although its light is wide and great, The moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide. The whole moon and the entire sky Are reflected in one dewdrop on...

Major Capital Engagement in Auga, Heavy Minmatar...
Last night saw a major fight between Minmatar, Amarr, and Amarrian allies*, with random pirates whoring onto mails. No less than six carriers and two supercarriers were involved, as well as dozens of battleships and support craft.
Apparently, the initial setup for the battle took some time; I was just getting into pod when I was notified that there was a major cap fight in Auga on the Sisiede...

Kill(s) of the Week
I haven’t posted many of these lately, but two stand out to me at the moment. Both are wondrous winter solstice festival gifts to all Minmatar.
Muad’dib’s Machariel loss just makes me… so happy. The comments are enough, I don’t need to add anything more. It also gives me warm fuzzies to see IFW, ROSS and AA all teaming up so awesomely.
And this Thanatos kill...

Eytjangard Blues (Part 4)
This is it. We’ve located Shalee and landed in a cloaked drop ship with my strike team; we’ve reconned the camp and located both the main building where Shalee has apparently been very recently moved, and also the outbuildings where most of the prisoners are being kept.
We’re loaded with launch containers, enough to bring all the refugees into orbit, but we need to draw off the...

Major Battle in Kourmonen
Looks like I missed another major fight, with too many station side responsibilities to deal with (though I did read battle reports as they trickled in).
I don’t have first hand reports yet, but it appears the Minmatar held the field. ISK and ship count losses give the Minmatar a slight edge total, with over 7.5 billion ISK in ships destroyed.
The Amarr lost 13 battleships, 32...

Major Minmatar Victory in Kourmonen, GENCO Carrier...
No details yet from this clearly epic fight. More to come.
Summary: 22 enemies downed, including an Archon, 5 battleships, and 5 battlecruisers. 4 losses: 2 Tempest class battlships, and 2 Merlin T1 frigates.
Several members of Late Nite were present, I’ll get the whole story from them.

Eytjangard Blues (Part 3)
Well, my people have confirmed it. Shalee has been grabbed by a group of Blood Traitors led by one Galt Yaster, one nasty Sebestior piece of work. I knew of him from intelligence reports sent to me from my operatives in Eugidi.
Getting her out of this is going to be tricky, but I came prepared.
Every capsuleer has heard of the top-secret CONCORD military research project, code-named ‘Dust...

Eytjangard Blues (Part 2)
Well, it looks like the proverbial sh*t has hit the fan in Eytjangard. My agents have reported to me that an Amity Project op was hit and hit hard by a group of Blood Traitors looking to cash on on collaborating with the enemy. And, it looks like Shalee was there, though they lost track of her in the chaos. A group of my operatives are trying to contact some people we have embedded within...

Eytjangard Blues (Part 1)
Damn. The Amarr march into Metropolis continues, far from the active front of the war, in the backwater constellation cluster of Eugidi.
HUANG pilots had fought hard to take systems from the Amarr in the early days of the war, losing ships and crews in a concerted effort to wrest control of Amarr systems and free the populations. We fought equally hard to protect our own systems.
After over a...

Late Nite Losing Its Late Nite Dominance?
For the past couple of weeks, a new trend has been emerging: There are many, many more active Amarr pilots during the times Late Nite used to rule Faction War low sec.
Large roving Amarr fleets of 30 or more pilots, mixed from T1 frigs all the way up to Tier 3 battleships, have been cruising the systems in Heimatar and Bleak Lands. At best, Late Nite can typically rally only half that number...

Cadre Assault Force to leave Minmatar Militia
One of the older and more respected corps in Faction War, Cadre Assault Force, has announced plans to depart militia tomorrow. Currently ranked 16th in miiltia with 3682 kills and 94 members, they will be missed.
CEO Stoogie is quoted:
We’re moving to uplingur and setting up for lowsec and 00 roaming as well as some isk making and Merc work. We are nbsi in all regions but we’ll...

New interesting journal: Broke Ass Ninja →
A perspective of adventures and mishaps written by a pirate, and far more interesting and well written (in my opinion) than Lukka’s blog.

Outer Ring Excavations just started selling the blueprints for their new salvage ships, the Noctis. I was in that horde of traders rushing to the ORE stations and trying to make a profit from the initial market madness, here’s how I survived the trip.

Predator Elite taps into 0.0 Super Alliance to Hot...
Apparently frustrated in his inability to kill IFW and allies’ carriers using only Amarr Militia capitals, Predator Elite has apparently opened the door to the involvement of the Null-sec super-alliance Northern Coalition, which dropped a supercarrier fleet into the low-sec to kill an IFW cap fleet.
Apparently dropping 11 super carriers and an equal number of support carriers onto a fleet...
