NOTICE:
As of this time, the NFD has entered the war against Dread Syndicate.
Earlier today, they attacked the Thryn Monarchy for no reason whatsoever. Nothing was destroyed, and they fled the system when the Thryn member online at the time engaged in TMS Gargarin. A few hours ago, I joined the server intending to join the war against them.
Seeing that we were still set to peace with them, I quickly made the best I could out of the situation. Within a half hour I had the entire Dread Syndicate fleet comprising over 60% of their available resources and five players flying to NFD Corinth base and enter the spire to acquire blueprints for an attack on the Thryn, unaware that it was only a ruse to catch them off guard. However, due to immense server lag and time constraints, only two players showed up in the vessel BRM Watcher. The rest either got left in random places or died on the way there. Zackey_TNT exited the ship and I sent the war declaration. Corinth's defenses immediately opened fire, pounding the BRM Watcher with over 16 million damage per second of missiles. Zackey immediately began begging the admins to TP him out of the sector. The obliged, saving him and his ship in the process. He was last heard yelling at me on Teamspeak about how the NFD are a bunch of lying ----------- and Thryn are ------------. A Thryn patrol of 4 members is underway as we speak to prosecute the ship with a chance to steal it.
We're working on finishing up the new Armstrong class assault carriers to begin a full invasion of their systems.
Their faction is twice our size and evidently have moderately decent ships utilizing swarm missiles, so it'll be all hands on deck for the next few days until we destroy the BRM Watcher, their only titan at present, as well as the other remaining vessels in their fleet.
