| G / IRON (both disbanded now) pissed off a lot of people. They took one of our (Ascendant Frontier's) stations for a short period and as a result we've been roaming in their regions for a while now keeping spirits low and pressure on, none of them could mine or NPC in peace.
There's a bottleneck system (EC-P8R) with a station that leads into G / IRON's space that's owned by TRUST alliance who were pretty much industry slaves of GIRON, they were the first on the server to build a Mothership. To do that you need a Capital Ship Array at a POS (Player Owned Structure) at one of the moons in your system.
A combined force of BoB and ASCN (Ascendant Frontier) arrived at EC-P8R, a total of around 600 people at peak.
BoB brought a total of around 35 Capital Ships (Dreadnoughts are vital siege ships for POSes) with the intent of taking out the Capital Ship Array and all of the POSes to claim sovereignity over the system. You need to own more POS in the system than the current owners of the system. When you have sovereignity you can claim the station as well.
ASCN brought mostly Battleships and were in charge of locking down the system, all gates and the station were covered. Noone neutral or red could get in or out, the only way to get past the system was a huge detour through hostile space.
The whole op lasted 5 days or so, it was boring as fuck but the effect it had was worth every minute of it. Around 40 billion ISK in damage was done and their capital ship production was neutralized.
As for them disbanding I'd imagine it's just get rid of the red target painted on their foreheads. BoB's intentions are quite worrying as there are only 3 powerhouse alliances left in the game and ASCN are known for their industrial bias. |
