No matter what happens, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. The Fountain Alliance considers it too soon to open diplomatic talks, as Shrike confirms by stating they have not yet heard from the Fountain Alliance Council. According to Trigger, they knew about the MASS and Collective fleet’s attack even before it began! A strange situation indeed.Ĭoncerning BoB and Fountain, undoubtedly, the hostilities will continue throughout the day. Rumors have it that the Curse alliance, Stain and Fountain’s long-standing enemy, have something to do with the lone Collective pilot ordering the attack. Although Stain forces have withdrawn fully, it is still a strange incident. What seemed to be a simple diplomatic matter between the Stain and Fountain Alliance escalated when the BoB fleet arrived on the scene. According to Shrike of Evolution, several battleships on FA’s side were destroyed, alongside a handful of cruisers and frigates. I was wondering if there’s some way for a small corp like mine, to be able to quietly rat in Delve/Period Basis/Querious and pay a monthly rent. Unfortunately, we cannot independently verify losses on either side of the conflict. Although his pod escaped unscathed, the attack caused Evolution, Reikoku and Black Nova Corp to respond with unrelenting aggression, invading the Fountain systems. However, one of the Evolution pilots in the fleet, Shirak, died unexpectedly to a Fountain Pilots’ guns. BoB, consisting of Arcane Technologies, Evolution, Reikoku and Black Nova Corp, somehow heard of the Stain attack on a Fountain station and took the long trip down from their claimed regions of Venal, Tenal and Branch to investigate.īoB went “Sightseeing”, as Shrike explained to me. However, the situation in Querious drew the attention of a third party. The Fountain Alliance and Stain Alliance remain the best of friends.

Trigger and Nathan Voughn of the Stain Alliance and Fountain alliance, respectively, assured me that this unfortunate incident did not tarnish their alliances’ relationship to each other. Caldari Space has Guristas, Gallente has Serpentins, Minmatar has Angels, and Amarr shares Bloodraiders and Sanshas. In Empire, its about the sovereignty of the regions. After a few tense hours, both parties withdrew, with no loss of lives or valuable assets. Angels: Curse (HQ) and all those other regions in the south-east. Whilst their diplomats met each other, forces were dispatched in case the talks proved pointless. The Fountain Alliance was quick to respond. Held by a Fountain Alliance corporation, Stain’s ally, the attack was not only unprovoked, but a surprise as well. Yesterday night, forces belonging to the MASS corporation and The Collective attacked the station located in 3BK-O7 in what appears to be an action instigated by a rogue Collective pilot.
