Rebuilding

Supremacy Corporation has recinded their war declaration against us. We haven't been really fun targets of late, and the loss of 2 dreadnoughts are still fresh in their mind. However, it looks like they have bigger fish to fry up north with Omega...so we wish them luck on their hunting. Never figured out if they were a Merc corp, but they sure act like one.

I have returned to recruiting. Still having a small inactivity problem...but when I went to go clean out the membership roles, noticed that most of our members have logged in recently. Maybe everyone's schedules are out of whack. Still, having some luck on recruitment...going to hopefully sign up 3 more members this week.

We will be rebuilding while at our home system for awhile. Our hope is to be operationally ready by this fall for some more mid-sized contracts.

Winds of War

It seems that even when we try to take a break, the winds of war follow us. Due to our POS in Aridia, it seems that our friend list grows shorter by the month. As a merc, I can certainly understand the lure of the isk and what it does to professional relationships...but never the less, we will continue operations, even with a whole region shooting at us. Word is that the Imperium is trying to muscle all the nuetrals out of the region.

A week ago, Supremacy Corp declared war on the O.E.C. While not unexpected, as we noted their movement into our constellation, we grow tired of meaningless combat (especially when we are not getting paid to do it). Our month or two of R&R is definately not turning out as planned.

As predicted, Supremacy Corp launched an attack on our POS and put it in reinforced mode. However, what they did not expect was our welcoming party 18 hours later. With the essential help from RKK, and old friends in various alliances, the destruction of 2 Dreadnaughts and over a billion isk of battleships commenced. O.E.C. forces lost a Zealot, and a few scout frigates...but our ambush was a complete success. Supremacy has learned the first lesson in POS warfare...when attacking a POS out of reinforced mode, your enemy knows where your dreads are. Very predictable, and the end result was catastrophic for them.

Still...there was no smacktalk on the local freqs, and I salute them for that. My sincere hope, however, is that they end this petty war.

We are also recruiting again. Having some inactivity problems, and that needs fixing in a big way.
