You might notice it was written out of context of EVE, but not directly related to it.

“Point of View”


Many Centuries from now in a Galaxy far away but not unlike ours, a small group of Spaceship Pilot Corporations named the Rebel Alliance of New Eden have developed a plan to separate from and overthrow the Coalition of New Eden, which was basically the controller of all lawless space in New Eden. The Coalition discovers of this plan too late to execute the Pilots and they are so far successful in their plans to overthrow the Coalition.

The unmarked Transport Ship jumped through the Stargate that lead to the Rebel's Home Solar System. Its payload: Top-Secret Blueprints for a Capital Ship Sized Super Weapon, capable of destroying a small moon or a large enemy fleet. It was stolen from an Experimental Laboratory, located in a Deep-Space region of the Coalition of New Eden's Sovereign Space. The Transport Ship being also stolen was being chased by a large fleet of Assault Frigates and Interdictors capable of reducing the Transport Ship into twisted metal within seconds. Since the Rebels had the element of surprise, they had about a half-hour head start on the Coalition Fleet, but they were loosing distance from the Fleet quickly due to being in a slow industrial class ship.

Landing safely on the other side of the Stargate in their Home Solar System, it started to spool up its Warp Drive and align to the Rebel's Outpost, at which they were Headquartered at. After a time which seemed like forever, but in reality was around 10 seconds the Ship had aligned and fully spooled up its Warp Drive. The Warp Drive then drew a large amount of power from the ships Powergrid and created a depleted vacuum, allowing the ship to enter Warp and travel at a speed faster-than-light at a maximum speed of around 278 Million Miles per second, which is 1500 times faster than light. After a short trip through warp, it arrived at the Outpost and docked inside. After landing and fully docking, the Transport Ship was unloaded of its cargo and refitted for remote control usage to bait the enemy fleet.

The Rebel Scouts that were watching the gate reported a large enemy fleet of Interdictors and Assault Frigates had arrived in the system about 15 minutes from when the Transport Ship had docked. They quickly undocked the Transport Ship, now rigged with smartbombs to attempt a suicide attack, although there was no one aboard the remotely controlled ship. The enemy fleet had just left the Stargate when the Transport Ship had been moved into position. When the enemy fleet arrived at the Outpost, they saw the Transport Ship and heard a Distress Call coming from it. They chose to investigate, but cautiously. When they were close enough to the Transport Ship to launch a shuttle and investigate, the Rebels activated the Ship's smartbombs and instantaneously decimated the enemy fleet, leaving only 1 heavily damaged Interdictor and a few damaged but still dangerous Assault Frigates.

The Rebels were quick to dispatch a few wings of Fighters from a nearby Fighter Carrier to finish off the enemy fleet. After the immediate threat was removed, research was immediately started on the Superweapon plans to make it even more deadly and destructive. They had to almost completely re-engineer it to make it fit onto the only ship that was capable of housing it, a Titan Class ship, which exceeds 10 Miles in length and requires the materials of half a moon to construct.

Weeks passed. When research was finally done, the Rebels Constructed their Super Weapon, now capable of destroying large continents of planets and making a planet hostile to all life for millions of years. They set up a Wormhole that would lead them directly into the Coalition's Home System and Headquarters and sent their Titan with its deadly weapon through.

After arriving in the Coalition's home system, the Titan started to spool up its massive warp drive and align to the Outpost that was the Coalition's Headquarters. After a few minutes, it Warped to the Outpost and a Diplomat was sent to the Outpost to try and make a Peace Treaty with the Rebels, knowing full well that if the Coalition would not agree to the Rebels Demands, the Titan would Destroy the Outpost and the Planet it was orbiting, Decapitating the Coalition and making room for the Rebel's to take over. The Rebel's wanted a third of the Coalition's Solar Sytems as its own sovereign territory, as well as 20% of all the Coalition's Assets, which was enough to buy the materials to construct many more Titans and Superweapons. After many Hours of heated debate, the Coalition finaly realized they were in a no-win situation and accepted the Rebel's Terms, but the Rebels were not allowed to use the Superweapon on a planet that contained life, due to removing a whole Planet of Species that would most likely be gone forever. The Diplomat was sent back to the Titan, and the Titan returned to the Rebel's Headquarters to be refitted to be more of a Defense Tool than a Destructive Powerhouse. The Rebels Dispatched a Fleet of Freighters and Escorts to acquire their new assets and a group of Colonists was sent to take control of their new Sovereignty.
