Intergalactic Summit

The freedom fighters of the Minmatar Militia retook Floseswin today. Those who inhabit Metropolis have been working tirelessly with little help from those of us who live in the Bleak lands. However, it was unlikely the system would flip without a fight.

LNA had intelligence of Amarr forming up in their stronghold of Egghelende, with numbers eventually reaching in excess of fourty. What we saw of the friendly forces targetting the system infrastructure hub concerned us. A hodge-podge fleet of frigates, destroyers, battlecruisers, certainly nothing that would be able to defeat a disciplined Amarr fleet, or defeat the hub in time to avoid the fight completely. Late Night Alliance decided to step in.

We formed up a small, brute force gang of battleships and headed out with a triage carrier on standby for logistics. We made best speed to to Floseswin and warped to the hub. We currently have a Concord sanctioned wardec against Militia Alliance UK and were concerned with their presence on field.

Noticing the lack of Ushra Khan damage dealing ships on the bunker LNA needed to act fast before the Amarr fleet arrived. Concerns for our fleet integrity was very high as Ushra Khan has a history of aggression against LNA members. Approximately 03:20 the decision was made for LNA to clear out the hostile fleet of Ushra Khan and take the bunker.

We removed the threat and began to assault the hub. The hub fell, just as a 40-50 man Amarr teir 3 battlecruiser gang were spotted speeding up metropolis.

It is unfortunate for UK that others did not bring sufficient assets to bring about a favourable outcome, otherwise they would not have suffered they losses they incurred. But without the battleship assets of LNA, the bunker would most likely not have fallen.

As a casual observer, I was very confused at what was happening on this bunker.. Thank you for the write up.

You could've saved time by writing "We stabbed militia mates in the back and ran away from the enemy".

really cool story especially the part about the phantom amarr fleet when you flipped the bunker. when in reality it was just you guys killing fellow minmatar militia 'just cuz bro'

U'K did not engage first, hell U'K was ordered to not even lock LNA ships. We made it damn obvious that we intended to destroy the bunker before interacting with you in any way. If you were really so concerned about the Amarr getting there first, why not shoot at the bunker as well, increasing the damage on it? Instead, you turned your fire on U'K, and 3 of their own had already died attempting to work as a team with you, while the rest left the field. Instead of increasing the damage on the bunker and destroying it faster, your actions were responsible for pulling all of the fire off of the bunker.

You should go join the Amarr milita, because your particular brand of heroism is helping them a hell of a lot more than it's helping the Minmatar.

Oh and not sure what your FC was telling you but just to note the first agression was that of LNA against UK. I think you need to check logs. LOL!

There was no cease-fire agreement. The motivation for this war-dec has been the incompetence of your newer members. Overview bugs leading to FF on our members, LP stealing, loot stealing. Continuing to insist that there was a cease-fire agreement is either a deliberate lie or a result of high-level incompetence.

LOL! I was there for this as well and can confirm it was Baha that first agressed a UK Ashimu in his Cynabal. This was in Flosewin on a Amarr Outpost gate. I do also remember Lowhyres ordering his members to not engage first, prior to that engagement. I hate to judge but it seems your leadership 'may' be trying to justify this war with UK through dishonourable action and minipulation of the truth...

There was a second incident after this where UK took preemptive action although in the eyes of those non LNA/UK Militia witnesses, it was warranted.

I am one that has had extrodinary respect for Baha in the past but this has to end. Are you sure his ingame mind hasnt been tainted by some drug? (ie account hacked?).

Appologies as I missed that and its noted. Got any pics of that Tattoo?

Are you admitting to have initiated the engagement in this situation?

Also, labeling us as hostiles is perhaps inappropriate. Whether or not your alliance agreed to our truce, we were operating under the assumption that one was in place, and no hostilities were initiated and no provocation made to draw your alliance into a confrontation. It would be more appropriate to refer to us as 'war targets'.
