These days, I spend my time planetside because my brother's business has exploded, and I help him out with it....a lot, but I do keep tabs on news surrounding New Eden, and it has come to my attention that the Guristas are still stealing Caldari ships to make their own - and this one could be dangerous.

You probably will not hear of this from official sources because the State is well-known for hiding secrets, but I am exposing this one to all of New Eden since the State will not. I got wind of this through a posting on an official State database that was apparently deleted immediately, since when I refreshed the database it was no longer there.

A few weeks ago, a naval detachment was conducting a routine patrol around Guristas space when they were ambushed by a squadron of Guristas ships using heavy shielding. Apparently, the detachment was obliterated, save for a Naga battlecruiser, which they immediately seized.

This is all I got from a State source, but then I hacked into the Guristas network, and found out that they were working hard on that Naga battlecruiser to prepare it for their own ends, and a schematic I saw is pretty amazing. Apparently, they are using the State's powerful drone bandwith to make a lighter, and faster version of the Rattlesnake, and they call it the "Moccasin". It can field 3 heavy drones, at 250% damage output according to this schematic, but the downside is that they had to nearly gut the entire structure to do so, and still have powerful shielding. This schematic shows that the Moccasin has frigate-like armor and structure, but a carrier-like shield generator. No idea what they intend to use it for...it is a pretty odd way to modify a ship...

Thoughts?

The naming doesn´t follow the pattern of Guristas ships, probably a project name.

A carrier shield on a frigate? If that is the case, i really want to see how the bendind of the current laws of the universe happened in order to achieve this.

But watch out, if you´re giving away classified information from a major political power on a public medium, the explosions won´t stop at your brothers business, but soon on himself.

And you.

... isn't it exactly how they name their ships? Those... ferret-lizards thingies. Nope ropes. Danger noodles. Spirits blind me, you know what I mean.

Doesn´t the environment count? Water vs earth poisonous bitty things have a difference.

Pehaps it was a watery one due to the different shield class.

What sort of despicable monster would do such a thing?!

Three drones?! Heresy I say! No self-respecting Fatal-fearing Guristas would even consider having a ship of glorious Guristas design be able to field more than two drones of it's calibrated weight class!

So unless you are able to present irrefutable evidence of this heretical activity in twenty four hours, expect my agents to knock at your door and give you some strong words of discouragement!

Venomous. If you bite it and you die, it's poisonous. If it bites you and you die, it's venomous.

My thought is that unauthorized extraction of information from the State database is a crime and aggressive act that should be punished with all the severity of the law.

When the information is hidden from the public eye, it was hidden for a reason. Our command knows better which information to disclose, and if you don't know why - then you are not the one who was supposed to have access to it.

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

Well, the info is public now. Nothing you can do about it.

Shes not exactly wrong though. Knowing everything at any level is not always in the best interest of any group. Oh well, more info to use I guess.
