    Needs it's own thread if it doesn't have one already.

    After a period of relative quiet due to game-breaking bugs, the Helkan Imperium is back in the game and finds itself still the most powerful faction on SS. We had our first taste of combat for a while yesterday, and like all our battles so far, it ended in our overwhelming victory.
    For context: there is a faction named Cobalt Vector that has chosen to put their homebase on the system directly adjacent to ours, and after requesting him to relocate outside the Helkan sphere of influence multiple times, we entered into hostilities with Cobalt Vector and its leader, Visknos. Yesterday, Helkan members BDLS and Chevalleis were blockading the enemy's base after CV declined to comply with our ultimatum, when two unrelated players came to his aid and threatened to attack if the Helkan Imperium did not withdraw its troops. In response, we deployed a warfleet of four ships, among them the cruiser Schwarzsonne, and asked the attack force to defeat us if they could. After we had graciously waited for quite a while, they finally showed up and were promptly forced to retreat.
    One of the attackers, Firelord, deserves special mention for returning to the field of battle even after losing much of his armour, and bravely withstood our firepower for several minutes before his ships eventually succumbed to the damage dealt to it.

    Helkan Imperium attack force:
    2x Corax-class destroyers, commanded by Chevalleis and FrankRa
    1x Salamis-class destroyer, commanded by BDLS
    1x Musaka-class cruiser, commanded by Comr4de

    Cobalt Vector and Allies:
    2x unidentified ship, commanded by Jagen and Firelord.
    1x homebase (no defensive systems)

    Casualties:
    No Helkan losses
    Firelord's ship destroyed, Jagen's ship reduced to 73% armour (within 20 seconds) before he retreated.
    Cobalt Vector's pride

    We thank our opponents for giving us a good fight.

    Well it would be kinda hard to have a fight if the server couldn't handle it, wouldn't you say?
    What was the average ship mass (or block count)? Just asking to know what's safe to use without causing huge server issues.

    NEWS UPDATE:
    The Helkan Imperium is advancing full s̶t̶e̶a̶m̶ ion exhaust into the future, with multiple cruiser- and battleship-class ships, as well as a new base, being constructed. There is still no sign of anyone who could reasonably oppose the Helkan Imperium, despite much posturing by some misfortunates who were quickly shown to be in error. It truly seems that we are the strongest faction on SS and, perhaps, even in the whole game. The recent changes in some factions' structure only reinforce our position.
    As such, we redeclare ourselves to be the dominant faction on SS and its sole conquerors. We also welcome daring pilots who are looking for adventure and glory, or then simply a chance to build stuff, invent new tactics, and explore the game's limits, to fly with us as we continue our ascension into legends.

    As of today, The Thyrn Monarchy is now an enemy of The Helkan Imperium for the crime of theft and the perversion of etiquette and common decency.

    All Helkans have the explicit permission of the Throne to engage Thryn targets whenever possible. This will not end until the throne receives an apology from the Thyrn administration and the stolen assets are relinquished or destroyed.

    Otherwise, Thyrn will Burn.

    Heil Helka!


    The situation has being resolved, and HI and TM are now in the midst of talks of engaging in friendly wargames to foster a firm relationship and maintain our tactical prowess. We wish our opponents the best of luck on the battlefield.

    Heil Helka.

    I Wish you the best of luck because with saying your the strongest will draw people to attack you.
    That's the idea. ;)
    I'd like people to try and fight us instead of talking too much and/or being "neutral" spectators.
