Intergalactic Summit

Good luck, pilots. I'm going to be too late to the party for it to matter.

The use of Sarum Prime could be significant

I read reports long ago of a super weapon being constructed from minerals with special properties being mined from certain stars. Hopefully it may be time for us to learn these secrets and create such a weapon that can rid us of this Sansha menace.

Scope and Friends (tm) is deploying.

I will come as an observer, possibly gathering and sharing intel when the assault starts, but until I learn the nature of the threat, I will try to retain my neutrality.

If I decide to remain neutral throughout the conflict, I will assist in rescue and recovery operations if the situation allows it.

Peace,

I had planned to spend the day at the Caravanserai with my son.

I'll not disappoint him.

Good luck, everyone. Spirits guide.

I really hope someone's going to pick up that comm unit.

BECAUSE I ****ING CALLED IT.

Considering that the destination systems leaked a few hours before, it was fully expected.

And this, Caldari, is what your allies think of you.


No, it would have been exactly the same, because nothing about the nullsec alliances would have changed at all.

Public Release 0711113.01

At 18.50h, LDRSS command ship LDMT Ojaabun departed Ihas under command of Commander Sami Okuuda (CN) as member of the joint task-force rallied by CONCORD. LDRSS deployed under the directives given it via the LDRSS Charter, Section 12a. Her role within the fleet was to provide Command support to the 250+ Capsuleer vessels on deployment, and to this purpose, was outfitted for speed, agility, and point defense.

Specific events and objectives have not yet been cleared for release. However, I am sad to report that LDMT Ojaabun went down with all hands within the objective system, roughly two hours after deployment from Ihas. She survived a number of attacks before her primary reactor core went into overload state.

Ships are lost very frequently in the Cluster at large, and this loss is no different from them. The 25 men and women in service on Ojaabun who died in service to the CEP and the State are a small statistic compared to the losses of the day. However, they served with distinction and integrity, and maintained broadcast of vital FTL information to the very end so that others amongst the fleet could better avoid the same fate. They have earned honoured places amongst their ancestors. Haajiken kalen, kirjuunen. Lai dai.

Each day we go to the storm-grey cliffs,
and down to the shining shore;
Come ice and wind cross the groaning bow,
Come cannon shot and the deafening row,
Come death to us, prince and poor.

Each day we go to the storm-grey cliffs,
with a Raata-soldier's pride;
Our banners bear our weightening charge,
Our duty drives our whitening barge,
Our ship sails to where we've died.

Each day we go to the void-black rifts,
to the maw that eats our best;
Our corporate crests show who played their parts,
Our modern swords held by ancient hearts,
'Till we've finally earned our rest.

Horn family salute you Scherezad and your service men and women who took part in the joint task-force.
