Azia Burgi's cemetery was destroyed earlier this week by the JihadSwarm faction of GoonSwarm. Dozens of corpses have been stolen and several surviving caskets have been defaced. Forgotten by many, the cemetery was the solo project of Azia Burgi. As reported in an article early this year, Azia "…thought it was a little sad that people just left their victims corpses alone in space after such a violent death. " Azia began collecting these corpses and placing them in secure "caskets" to be anchored in [...]
Molea – Two months ago, we brought you the story of Azia Burgi and her cemetery in Molea. Since then it has been discovered that the secure caskets are suffering from sub-microscopic deformations which have irreversibly weakened their structural integrity. This damage has probably been caused by spatial phenomena and so the decision was taken to relocate the cemetary to an area where it could be protected to some extent by a starbase shield. The New Eden Cemetary starbase tower has been erected above [...]
Molea, Khanid - On 112.08.18, Azia Burgi's cemetery was attacked by combined forces from Goonswarm Federation and TEST Alliance. This is the second time the cemetery has come under Goonswarm's crosshairs as they were also responsible for the destruction of the first cemetery, in Y110. According to Azia Burgi, the cemetery's caretaker, the tower guarding the 'caskets' came under fire on Monday: "It was about midnight... when around 60 Goon pilots jumped into Molea and started attacking us." Azia [...]
For the second time in a few days STYX. (STYX.) along with their allies Executive Outcomes (.EXE) have attempted to take control of a lucrative moon in the Ertoo system. The moon is currently being mined by Red Alliance (RA) and according to Tavernier (CEO of R.u.S.H.) "... thats [a] dysprosium moon, and I think you know that income from one moon [is] more than the 10 billion p/m...so five of such moons - give [enough] money to build [a] titan every month" Apoc77 was one of the mothership pilots, we [...]
Two of the main professions pod pilots engage in are mission running and mining. With these occupations attracting such large numbers, it is of little surprise to most that there are other more shady lines of work that thrive off the efforts of these pilots, namely ore theft and “ninja” salvaging. Although victims of these two activities question the morality of what they consider stealing, they also begrudgingly admit that the “thieves” are well within the bounds of current law. Ore Theft Almost as [...]
The SCC today announced that last week’s moratorium on the sale of Jovian body parts on the SCC markets has been lifted. The empires have placed buy orders on the markets through trade commissioners, who will be overseeing the re-purchase of the body parts. For the Amarr, Commissioner Cedus Marakez , stationed in the Theology Council Tribunal at Moon 2 of Amarr VI, in the Amarr system. For the Caldari, Commissioner Liriko Ashaten , stationed in the Chief Executive Panel Bureau at Moon 1 of New Caldari [...]
A Mordu's Legion task force under the leadership of Muryia Mordu himself infiltrated Serpentis space in the Fountain region yesterday and moved deep into its territory. The task force refrained from any direct conflict with Guardian Angel ships or Serpentis ships. Instead, the task force headed straight for Serpentis Prime in the Phoenix constellation and approached the chemical refinery orbiting the second moon of Serpentis Prime VIII. As the station readied its defenses Mordu's task force halted and [...]
Yesterday the Syndicate region and the Orvolle star system witnessed a bloodbath as Mordu's Legion engaged multiple groups of pilots in the PF-346 system. The Legion, under the command of Lt. Amlerik Raun, gathered together a fleet with their allies, Razor alliance. Their mission was to patrol the Syndicate region of space and search for any NORAD or Imperium pilots they found. Setting forth at 1900 hours, their first and second waypoints, in the 3KNK-A and 3MOG-V systems, yielded no hostiles. Recon [...]
The task force led by Muryia Mordu into Serpentis space was pinned down yesterday by Guardian Angels forces led by Brynn Jerdola and Setele Schellan and forced into combat. The Guardian Angels have been trying to corner Mordu ever since the latter entered the Fountain region, but he has always managed to slip out of their grasp just when they thought they had him. Whether this is due to Mordu's tactical brilliance or the aid of unknown gadgets at his disposal is not known, but it wasn't until the [...]
This week we saw another sortie of Mordu's Legion forces into Empire space. Just a few nights ago a well-armed expeditionary force ,commanded by Lt. Amlerik Raun, had entered the system of Shenda and proceeded to systematically lock down all the exits and stargates of the system. The aim of the enterprise, according to the second in command, Lt. Kikui Viraki, was to 'contain forces of Imperium Alliance and engage them with extreme prejudice.' Apparently, Mordu's spies have kept a constant eye on [...]
PURE BLIND. Commander Jaymamera Mayer, head of Mordu’s Legion Security Division at 5ZXX-K officially confirmed what until now was rumor only: Serpentis operatives are being actively hunted by Mordu’s forces in the Placid region. News arrived a few days ago about Serpentis battleships being destroyed in conjunction with freelance pod-pilot forces yet no Mordu’s official had commented until today. "A Serpentis Megathron was tracked down to the Moclinamaud system by a three man Mordu’s squad under the [...]
5ZXX-K - On Thursday 12th at approximately 11:00, the first of two planned Flagships was launched in the Mordu's HQ System. The vessel, christened ”Honour” , will be under the direct command of Colonel Akuras of the Mordu's Legion Command. The exact specifications of the ship remain unknown, although anonymous high-level sources have supported more widespread rumours that the vessel is a capital-class craft of some kind. The Legion itself has refrained from officially commenting on the ship type at [...]
5ZXX-K - The Pure Blind region has erupted into full action as ships bearing Mordu's Legion insignias are converging from all corners to gather in force at their headquarters in 5ZXX-K. So far the Mordu's Legion has not yet declared their intentions as it gathers its strength. Rumours are flying around that the Caldari State has hired on the Legion to join their fleet. This has not been confirmed.
PURE BLIND. As part of their relocation strategy, Mordu's Legion has recalled its 5th Dreadnought 'Night Stalkers' Task Force to the Legion's HQ in 5ZXX-K, putting the 'Night Stalkers' commander Colonel Akuras in charge of the whole Mordu's Pure Blind Fleet. The highly specialized strike unit was transferred to the Pure Blind theatre "to strengthen the Legion's presence in our claimed space", according to Mordu's Command COO Jasolbold Adralkhan. "Col. Akuras, one of our most respected officers, will [...]
Late last week a patrol force of Mordu's Legion vessels, tasked with removing Guristas elements from several systems in the Pure Blind region, suffered significant losses after being caught in an ambush by an as yet unknown pirate fleet. The five ship patrol fleet embarked from its current base of operations at the Mordu's Legion Testing Facilities in the 5ZXX-K system on a wide pattern patrol through several constellations of the Pure Blind region. The fleet, centred around the Caldari Navy Raven of [...]
Pilots from all over the Caldari state were unexpectedly called to arms earlier this week by security forces from Deep Core Mining Inc. The security forces sent the many pilots they hired out to scout and secure solar systems surrounding the Paara system and more specifically the DCM station, immediately. The pilots were not made aware of what they were looking for, only to report back “suspicious pirate activity”. When they were given the reason for this mission, however, the reason for the lack of [...]
Pilots are moving to Pure Blind in an attempt to join the famous mercenary Legion. More than a hundred have arrived in 5ZXX-K in the last week, after the Legion's readiness to mobilize during the recent war has reignited interest in them. Seemingly disillusioned with the current political and military situation inside the Caldari State, many ex-Navy pilots are making the journey in an attempt to join Mordu's Legion. Uriegh Hakkilen, a former Navy Kestrel pilot, is one of the prospective recruits. He [...]
Muryia Mordu, the venerated leader of Mordu’s Legion, has ordered for a full mobilization of the Legion’s forces. According to sources inside the Legion Mordu is putting together a task force with strike capabilities, which he intends to lead himself. Legionaries everywhere are left bewildered by this development as no explanation has followed in the wake of the order. Pilots on leave have been recalled to duty and ships in dry-docks hurried back into service. The biggest employer of the Legion in [...]
It was revealed that more civilian Amarr ships were destroyed earlier today within the borders of Republic space under fire from unidentified armed vessels. The first report of the incident was made by capsuleer and miner Nedal Hegoth who quickly posted on GalNet to state that he witnessed the incident in a remote part of the Dammalin system while scouting for mineral resources. “I counted six Amarr vessels stationed near the belt,” he said.” I’m not sure why they were there but none of them were [...]
Yulai, Genesis - More than 400 titans are currently operating in New Eden, according to a list maintained by Cyrus Doul of Systematic Chaos. While this number alone seems large, it is likely that the actual number of operational titans is significantly greater due to the care taken in deploying the vessels and the number used solely for logistical tasks. A single titan takes approximately one month to build and costs approximately 35 billion ISK in raw materials for the hull alone. When the ships [...]
The rumors regarding the research pact between the Gallente Federation and the Caldari State have now been substantiated, though the nature of the research still remains unclear. Inside sources have revealed that the two empires have earmarked a secret location somewhere in the Lolbrerie constellation to be the site of their research project. Military forces from both sides are gathering in the constellation and freighters carrying heavy loads of construction material have been ordered over there. The [...]
Incredible footage was released today of Minmatar Police vessels making a co-ordinated planetary swoop on what was thought to be one of the largest 'Slave Farms' in existence. Although only a few hundred malnourished captives were set free, according to the Police who have seized records left at the site, close to a million Minmatar slaves had been ‘processed’ there in the last two years - most, we must assume, destined for various plantations and factories within the Amarr Empire. But what has caused [...]
Tonight saw the opening of the first round of qualifiers for the COLOSSUS race. 18 brave contestants attempted to qualify for the Lai Dai Corporation, with pilots Morkt Drakt of Lai Dai and Feral of Drink Starsi™ finishing first and second, respectively, to take their spots in the final ten-man Lai Dai team. The race's route took contestants through the dangerous, lawless expanses of the Orpana constellation through to contested areas of the Venal region. Unsurprisingly, most of the pilots encountered [...]
X-CFN6, Tribute - It appears that Morsus Mihi [RAWR] is currently undergoing drastic internal restructuring, with long-term alliance leader, Vuk Lau, facing calls for new leadership for the alliance's "lack of direction." Morsus Mihi, once a cornerstone alliance of the Northern Coalition, saw its territory much reduced and the coalition effectively eradicated by a sustained assault from the so-named "Drone Region Forces" earlier this year. Previous statements from Morsus Mihi's leadership have [...]
