Nor would any help come from Delve, as the CFC’s capital fleets continued to grind the region down unopposed. On April 14th, one week after the fall of ZXB, NCdot announced they would be abandoning Querious, withdrawing from their coalition, and resetting their standings with their own renter alliance. A previous deployment had seen them staging out of nearby high security space in the Khanid region, and with this move, they returned to a staging system with reliable-and familiar-logistics. Over the next week, CFC forces were also on the move, smashing through two constellations in central Delve, and then, to the surprise of many, redeploying themselves to the lowsec system of Sakht, in Aridia.Īs the CFC’s main fleet swiftly established operational supremacy over 1-SMEB and central Delve, the Reavers redeployed as well, to Querious.
#Eve querious update#
Shortly after the loss of their staging system, the Kadeshi released an alliance update of their own, praising their pilots’ heroic but doomed efforts, and announcing a move to 1-SMEB, a staging system at the far end of Delve, on the edge of Aridia, where their fleets would have better positioning to defend all of Delve. The day before the attack on ZXB, a leaked pastebin from Darkness alliance leader Sort Dragon had surfaced, bluntly assessing the alliance’s situation and promising that Darkness would continue to seek to hold sovereignty, even if driven from Delve. On the morning of April 8th, that changed with the fall of ZXB, forcing Darkness and Kadeshi from their staging system. Patrick’s Day Warįor the next three weeks, the two largest coalitions in the game skirmished over the border systems of Fountain, while the Reavers, working with Pizza under mercenary contract, began striking at the N3 backfield, focusing primarily on the infrastructure and moon mining towers in Kadeshi space. Two days later, the CFC’s Reavers Special Interest Group (SIG) moved further, slipping a sub-capital convoy through Delve into the Blood Raider system of 319-3D. In response, the CFC deployed to Fountain on March 17th, staging out of both 4-EP12 in eastern Fountain, and TEG-SD in the west, in order to better defend both the Aridia and Delve approaches. On March 13th, Northern Coalition and nomadic/mercenary alliance Black Legion (BL) declared mutual +5 standings, and deployed to Hophib in the low security region of Aridia, on the border of Fountain. Prosperity, however, can often bring boredom, and one week before EVE Fanfest 2015, the situation came to a head. At the time, NA’s expansive holdings represented the largest rental alliance in EVE history, with an equally large income. Northern Coalition and Darkness were allies in the N3 Coalition, sharing the revenue from NA’s lands. Querious, in March, was the territory of Northern Coalition (NCdot), and their renter alliance Northern Associates (NA). Y-2, though, was not owned by FA, but was rather held by Goonswarm Federation as the far end of the jump bridge network that had once stretched from the far edges of Tribute and Branch, around the western edge of the map and down as far as Querious. Next door lay Y-2ANO, and behind that, Fountain, held by CFC member alliance Fatal Ascension. In mid-March, Darkness lived in Delve, most notably holding the strategic staging system of ZXB-VC. As the conflict winds to a possible close, it seems a good point to look back to its beginnings, and the winding route that both Darkness, and Querious, took to reach this point. By comparison, taking the remaining two constellations, 3B-IWE and 4QZ-2M, would leave five systems directly adjacent to enemy territory, and two constellations effectively cut off from direct access. If so, a glance at the map of Querious reveals why: maintaining the borders at the constellations of A-Z7C9 and MPJW-6 limits the number of exposed border systems with Delve to two. While two Constellations bordering Delve are still in the hands of Confederation of xXPIZZAXx’s Elite Space Coalition, Darkness may be content with the space they have successfully taken in the past four months. With the fall of strategic station system ED-L9T to Darkness and their allies within the Guardians of the Galaxy Coalition, all of Eastern Querious is now within the Guardians’ grasp.
