Tit for Tat

“Retribution is the ultimate form of flattery…” – Anonymous Amarr Holder

It has been a busy time for the OEC. We instituted a new command communication structure to facilitate some honest and frank discussion about the direction of the corporation and what our short term goals should be (the long term goals are progressing quite well). We identified that we were spread too thin across the cluster, and that is my fault in reality. Fighting in Fountain Core, Aridia, and Genesis has our fleet assets often with no escorts or cover and it’s a situation that had to change. Priorities were made, and we have decided to abandon our Aridia operations, including taking down our station and converting that to corporate cash for further expansion in Fountain. We will use jumpclones to be able to quickly move from region to region.

But not before putting a parting shot at those that think they can simply muscle small organizations around.

OEC intelligence posted that the Space Fyad station in Aridia had run through its fuel stores and gone offline. Multiple guns, shield hardeners, and other station arrays sat unprotected…like a herd of lamb before a pack of rockwall wolves. An OEC field commander quickly asked permission to attack, and it was granted. The result was the total destruction of the station and all of its arrays…with no resistance. While not quite equal to the carrier lost in action near the same station a few weeks ago, it was satisfying to hit Space Fyad in the wallet like this, especially since it was a large Matari tower with full defensive setup. A bit of Tit for Tat…and we will call ourselves even.

We had reports that CONIN was deep in the south fighting for its core home worlds during the huge war raging Delve and the surrounding regions. Our station was safe for the time being…as they would not be able to effectively attack us until that was resolved. But we have left Aridia at any rate, and refocusing our attention to what matters most: new found friends that we will soon call brothers.

The logistics are still moving…but they should be completed sometime next week. We should be able to fight more effectively as a result, and secure our future industrial backbone we will need to grow.
