Update: Tenerifis Region Heavily Contested

In the wake of Darkness of Despair’s disband, the entire Tenerifis region lost sovereignty. As of the time of writing, N3 and RUS Coalition have scrambled to claim as many systems as possible. The result of the this race are as follows:

N3 Coalition:

Nulli Secunda – 16 systems, 1 station
Echoes of Nowhere – 10 systems, 1 station
Northern Associates – 3 systems
Northern CoalitionDot – 3 systems, 2 stations
Mildly Intoxicated – 2 systems, 2 stations
The Kadeshi – 4 systems, 1 station

Total: 38 systems (46%), 7 stations (41%)

RUS Coalition:

Against ALL Authorities – 1 system
Hand of Despair – 8 systems
Solar Fleet – 20 systems, 4 stations
Solar Citizens – 4 systems
Darkness – 8 systems, 5 stations

Total: 41 systems (50%), 9 stations (52%)

Unknown

Rookie Empire – 1 system

Total: 1 system (2%)

Unclaimed

0P-U0Q system, station in the hands of former Darkness of Despair Corporation.

Total: 1 system (2%), 1 station (7%)

With the initial systems grab done, the next phase will see N3 and RUS Coalition forces either clashing over stations and Territorial Claim Units, or relinquishing territory and evacuating assets to Empire and NPC Null Security space. Only the coming days will tell.

The EVE Scribe will keep you posted.

Update: Sendaya Free for All

The Sendaya system in the Derelik region is fastly becoming the hottest spot in New Eden. The system maintains a high population density, remaining above four hundred pilots even during the Australian Time Zone, often considered EVE’s weakest. The station is perpatually covered with wrecks as engagements occur almost constantly between individuals, gangs and entire fleets. This has been caused due to the formation and subsequent deployment of H.E.R.O Coalition to the system, which made many established Alliances relocate to the region, or lead fleets into it.

Sunday saw the largest engagement so far in the system between forces of GoonSwarm Federation, Black Legion, H.E.R.O Coalition and the Provi-Block with almost nine hundred pilots in system. The battle was a chaotic free for all between the four entities and Killboards have proven unreliable in piecing together a coherent report. What is certain, though, is that this is only the beginning of one of the most interesting deployments in the history of EVE.

The EVE Scribe will keep posted with future developments.

Update: WLAR-J System Lost and Recaptured by -A-

Yesterday, at 8:01 EVE time, AAA Citizens, an Against ALL Authorities renter Alliance, lost sovereignty over WLAR-J system in Catch. What followed was a protracted battle as H.E.R.O Coalition forces tried to capture the system, and were repelled by a combined RUS and CFC Coalitions fleet. From EVE-Kill reports, it seems more than three hundred pilots took part in a pure sub-capital fight. CFC and RUS forces managed to destroy approximately one hundred and seventy-four ships, mainly cruisers, and lost only twenty-nine ships in the process. Total ISK loss for both sides is estimated at nine point fifty-seven billion ISK.

No official response was given by any of the participants of the battle.

Update: ERVK-P Station Reinforced

ERVK-P Station in Catch has been reinforced by H.E.R.O Coalition. This is the station’s first reinforcement timer. The station is expected to exit reinforced mode at the eleventh of March, approximately 20:00 EVE time, which is considered Russian prime time. While H.E.R.O Coalition is expected to show up, many wonder whether or not Against ALL Authorities or the RUS coalition will show up to defend the timer. The EVE Scribe will keep you posted as the situation develops.
