    Yesterday, Lightside forces led several raids into STAR Industries and Dark public territories, inflicting minor losses and stealing material, of which the amount is in dispute. Figures on losses for both the Light and Dark are hazy at best as no visual evidence has surfaced. Councillor Marek, head of Lightside militia forces stated that yesterdays actions were "the first of many victories to come against the heathens" (paraphrase) while the STAR Industries leadership disagrees and claims that the gains made by Lightside forces were negligible.

    The Light/Dark conflict continues to heat up as multiple attacks and counter attacks occurred yesterday.

    STAR Industries launched a major offensive into Light public territory, destroying a heavily fortified station and other assets utilizing the battleship (Squid Class) SCV-06 Zanscare and heavy cruiser (Prometheum Class) SCV-35 Melnick. The value of the station was estimated to be 1.9 billion credits according to Lightside militia commanders.

    Raiding between both parties has accelerated. Light militia captains utilizing small multi role corvettes such as the Rat Terrier continue to harass STAR Industries and provoke responses in kind. Lightside faction Mechanical Wings was confirmed to have lost a cruiser in one of it's many offensives into Dark controlled territory. Darkside militia captain DestroyerOfWorlds ship Harvester of Souls was in the vicinity of the wreckage when neutral observer vessels arrived.

    Ascencion Armada: Breaking Up or Playing both Sides?

    Information has surfaced that the commander of the light side militia station that was destroyed two days ago, SilverFire, is in fact co-founder (his words) or Founder (according to Ascencion Armada's Azreal), of the currently dark aligned AA. Silverfire, in an interview over witch-space text claims that due to mysterious reasons, is unable to rejoin his comrades at Ascencion, and the station that was destroyed by STAR Industries was in fact intended for Ascencion Armada. Furthermore, Silverfire claims his impetus for joining The Light was due to an attack against him from STAR Industries while he was unfactioned at some earlier point. Azreal of AA claims that Silverfire's recent actions were the result of miscommunication and that he will be rejoining soon. Azreal also claims that the AA's dark affiliation was the result of attacks from lightside milita during the course ofthe previous light/dark conflict. According to AA's official doctrine they are neutral and see themselves as a kind of police force that protects non-militaristic factions. Will they renounce their current standing affiliation with the dark after SilverFire rejoins? How will this effect the balance in the current light/dark conflict? Time will tell.
    [DOUBLEPOST=1464546351,1464545351][/DOUBLEPOST]Mechanical Wings Boarding Party Foiled by Temporal Anomalies

    The Light affiliated faction, Mechanical Wings reports that mysterious anomalies that disrupted the flow of time prevented a team led by Ielmar from successfully breaching and boarding a STAR Industries defense station. These temporal anomalies, which seem to coalesce around very large objects and are exacerbated by weapons fire have been getting worse recently. Builders Astrometeorologists are investigating the issue.

    TSA Gets Blinded by The Light

    Tsars Spacial Academy, a dark affiliated faction was attacked recently by lightside militia forces. According to accounts from itinerant miners in the area, a brief battle erupted which culminated in boarding actions. Two 5.8k mass vessels in TSA livery were seen forming up with the light side raiding party and jumping out of the system.

    Light's Prize Booze Intact After Wino Pirate Raid

    Almost as soon as the the shipment of vintage Yhole wine, ordered by Lightside Militia member and former Builder Ironheld arrived, trouble started brewing. Possibly acting on a tip from a disgruntled dock worker, a group of pirates attempted to storm The Bastion with reckless abandon, utilizing and ultimately losing a small flotilla of vessels to the station's well armed defenders. Jacob Fertikeener, the suspected leader of the attack reportedly had a death-wish and wanted a taste of the ultra-rare wine before his demise. "It's all he really wanted after I left that good for nothing pig." says Sue Fertikeener-Johnson, Jacob's estranged wife of 6 years. The suspect who allegedly left the tip is currently in custody as investigators assemble the evidence.

    Darkside Strike Inflicts Significant Casualties

    A task group of three Salamis class corvettes, lead by DestroyerOfWorlds of Outer Darkness, with Darkside militia members DJ-Colt and PlzDontRead, cut a swath of destruction through Lightside territory today. Two Tok class miners, two Simeon class corvettes and a territorial beacon were destroyed in the raid. Damage to the well organized Darkside group was minimal, with only one corvette sustaining moderate damage to it's port and ventral hull plating. Accounts of the attack from survivors describe a swift and vicious assault from multiple angles, giving the defenders little to no time to respond. No quarter was shown to ejecting pilots as escape pods were cut down with cannon fire.

    According to DestroyerOfWorlds, "We killed TopHat_Cat while he was in his miner at the light side home base. He scurried away to a secondary base of light side's. We performed a seek and destroy mission, scanning through their systems. They were not in the main areas. We destroyed their claim to another sector, then located their base there and attacked. They tried to say "we don't want to fight," but we weren't interested in their cries for mercy. They attempted to fight us off alongside their base defenses. They lost two fighter ships and another miner. TopHat_Cat and Foogles perished."

    The strike is the first significant action, minus some incidents of theft and sabotage, since the conflict cooled down following settlement of the new galaxy.

    Mortarian Legion Strikes Inner Light, OOB.

    This morning a Mortarian Legion strike force led by TwoNiner destroyed a majority of Inner Light's claim markers and defense drones then proceeded to briefly perform a reconnaissance in force of OOB's home sector, hurling insults over witch-space public frequencies before withdrawing. No response forces were reported to have launched to engage the attackers. Bogatyr fleet commander, Jotonex, went on the record to state "Just wait a little, and they will have something fun to look at". Lightside militia member and logistics specialist Ironheld seemed unfazed by ML's assault stating, "man, these new salvage drones rock!" Despite the lopsided results, the Light and OOB seem optimistic they can prevail.

    Mysterious Contraptions Appear Over Bases

    Two days ago, clouds of doll-like mechanical creatures appeared over the home facilities of Havok Clan, Mortarian Legion and a mining craft belonging to Lightside militia captain Derp. Samples taken from captured pieces suggest minutely organic components despite the overtly simple outer construction. After swarming around whatever objects were in the the area for a period of approximately 20 minutes they would simply vanish. No jump signatures were detected. Colonial Authorities report new cults dedicated to, or rallying against the new creatures sudden appearance in the galaxy, with some minor violence already reported at RB-Hab 2237 in the Rebuilder's zone.

    Havok Clan Repels Light Flotilla

    Early yesterday morning, two Lightside militia task forces were repelled by Vaygr vassals Havok Clan with assistance from Outer Darkness Overlord DestroyerOfWorlds. Several passes were made by the mixed size task forces in what appeared to be an attempt to probe HC's defenses. All of the larger vessels in both Lightside task forces were destroyed, leaving only a few fighters to retreat.

    Sources from within Light militia HQ seem to indicate that the attack, a rare offensive from the weakened nation was likely a failed attempt to boost morale. Communications from Inner Light leader StoneCyfer to the rest of his constituents have ceased over the past week. Citizens in the remaining Light territories have taken to the streets to protest government inaction in the face recent losses.

    Lightside Militia Strikes Back

    After a string of humiliating defeats the Light finally has a victory to celebrate. Lightside militia pilot, Barett Riggs and his crew, just hours after their initiation ceremony, successfully ran a Havok Clan blockade and then proceeded into Havok Clan and Dark territories, intent on vengeance. Riggs' 7.5k mass Simeon class corvette 'Hellion' destroyed multiple claim markers in dark territory, several mining craft and A 56k Narvi Class Cruiser belonging to Havok officer Horizon, who was reported killed in the attack. ObiShawnKenobi, piloting another Narvi, managed to fell the Hellion with a missile salvo after a lengthy exchange of fire. Havok's own media channels report no such losses, claiming "not a scratch to the shields", though this has been refuted by eyewitness accounts of a Rebuilders monitoring vessel which was dispatched to the scene.


    New Lightside Leader Sworn In After Bloody Coup

    The halls of Inner Light have once again been occupied and remaining Lightside forces now swear fealty to former ONI (Office Of Naval Intelligence) director Wyked Evil and his followers. After a breakdown in basic services to the population following increasingly destructive riots in the wake of StoneCyfer's departure, Wyked Evil, his cohorts and numerous disaffected citizens stormed the Grand Temple and brutally murdered the remnants of the interim government. No official proclamations have yet been issued from the new government but basic emergency services and food shipments have already been reestablished in the areas hit hardest by rioting and sectarian clashes. The new leader faces a daunting trial in front of him, as he has inherited the Light's state of war with the Odium Pact as well as The Dark.

    New Elysium, Mechanical Wings Destroy Dark Station, Cause Additional Mayhem

    After delays due to radio silence and rumors, it has been finally confirmed that The Dark has lost a major station 4 days ago. The operation, carried out by Lightsiders Mechanical Wings and mercenaries New Elysium represents a new direction for The Light as they continue to go on the offensive and test thier newly found strength against the forces of Dark as well as other hostile forces in the galaxy. The station, it's transponder identifying it only as The Core appeared to be a rearming and refueling station, judging from materials salvaged after the attack. New Elysium's capital ship 'Divine Retribution' is confirmed to have been in the assault group.

    In other news, smaller skirmishes were reported over the past couple of days, resulting in The Light scoring a confirmed victory against a marauding Salamis inside it's home system, along with some Tok class miners being destroyed in another smaller raid into Dark space. The Salamis was destroyed by a Simeon operated by Light aligned pilot Azereiah of Trident Foundries.

    Did the pew pew. Got a kill, almost died in the process because I suck at flying ships I didn't make myself. Note: Don't use the Light vs. Dark standard ships. They're awful~

    Special Thanks to Trident Foundries

    Light, New Elysium Suffer Massive Defeat

    Lightside forces suffered a massive blow from the Dark early yesterday morning. Several scouting incursions by lightside forces prompted Outer Darkness master DestroyerOfWorlds, at the helm of the 'miner' Harvester Of Souls, to personally lead an attack into Light territory, culminating in a blockade of the Lightside militia's home sector. Lightside Militia captain Barrett Riggs and LoneBlueWolf of New Elysium were the first to respond. NE's forces engaged with dozens of fighters along with several frigates and corvette sized craft while Riggs' Deacon Class guided missile cruiser LSMV Tender Mercy arrived shortly thereafter. Sensor interference from Harvester's turret system was so severe that target acquisition and control for all combatants involved was severely hampered. New Elysium casualties continued to climb while the heavily armored and missile dependent Lightside vessel was continually frustrated by the much more agile Harvester. New Elysium commander ChemicalDeceit entered the fray with her flagship Divine Retribution in an attempt to reverse DestroyerOfWorlds' onslaught. With Destroyer's attention diverted to the New Elysium dreadnought, Riggs was able to unleash a steady barrage of missiles on the Harvester, succeeding in dropping it's shields and damaging some of it's turrets. The subsequent refocusing of fire back on to the Tender Mercy at close range collapsed it's shields and necessitated a tactical retreat and regroup. Unfortunately Riggs' vessel's logic drive and back up system were too damaged for a jump back in to the fight and precious time was lost while emergency repairs were undertaken. When the Mercy finally jumped back in, New Elysium's flagship had already been torn to shreds under the Harvester's withering fire. A retreat was called while captain Riggs' vessel attempted to hold off the Harvester. With it's cannon system and half it's missiles damaged, it was unable to penetrate it's shields, though several New Elysium vessels were able to escape before the Lightside cruiser was ultimately cut to pieces and it's captain brutally gunned down.

    GG, fluffy is too stronk
    There were like 50 1k drones, at least 2 10k drones, a 76k warship, and a 230k+ warship. All perished to my damaged 64k battleminer. (Normally 65k, but it suffered some damage from a previous fight when attempting to take on a 270k warship from the pirate faction lead by Miroxa)

    Wow, it's been more than a week, and nobody noticed that the Dark (Briefly, at least) lost a station to StarWars and I.
    Through the use of sneaky tactics (And a few lives) we burned the faction modules and then took the station for ourselves, claiming the station and its system for the light (And destroying those pesky defensive turrets).

    That said, it was a vanilla station, not really worth anything.
    But having a Lightside station appear right next to the Dark's home sector was probably frightening for the Dark.

    Also, I found a random Darkside miner and boarded it. Disassembled it, stole everything (even the kitchen sink) on-site, then pealed out in a cloaker. Mass was around 7.6k, if memory serves. This was a while ago, so I'm not certain.

    The dark is in a deep hibernation at the moment, but soon.. Soon.. The Super Shredder will be born. The minions will be rallied. And chaos will reign once more.
