Operation Vanguard
Elwyn Returnity
With the recent opening of the Elwyn Returnity galaxies several UIS and Odium factions sprung into action, intent on fighting each other on a relatively stable server (Apart from the 10 thousand crashes on day 1).
Odium Pact, though fewer in number in comparison to UIS were far more coordinated and managed to achieve superiority over UIS in terms of resources, which then translated to an early strike from the Odium Pact against UIS. Over the course of the day, UIS was continuously harassed and the FCM first home base was attacked and destroyed. Despite claims of it being a "decoy" or "abandoned", Odium nonetheless successfully recovered a decent quantity of resources.
The efficiency of the Odium Pact surprised the UIS observers, with some accusations of hacking being made, though were later retracted.
In other news, New Daltoff Republic threatened one of our members, sending us a "Join us or die" message. This resulted in:
Calhoun and myself decided to leave Ultra a nice image, while Calhoun also rigged the base with warheads.
In addition, continued attacks against other UIS factions such Aethi Imperium, Trident Industries and Trinova Technologies had pushed several UIS factions to delete and reform their factions several times to prevent them from going into negative faction points and losing their homebases.
Lastly, an Aethi hidden station as well as a Trident mining ship piloted by Jaraff was destroyed by the Odium Pact. After the Aethi hidden station's destruction, a two day ceasefire was agreed upon by Odium and UIS members due to Christmas.
Thank you to all members, both Odium and UIS for participating in what is the first major fight on the ER server.
