Several months ago I tore my alliance away from their Class 5 wormhole known as "Valhalla". A pleasant place with no effect and wonderful class 3 static. I took them from their nice quiet home isolated in the stars and thrust them into an unforgiving storm. That storm is called J105934..."Nova" a class 6 wormhole with a magnetar effect and class 6 static. There, they have lived and thrived as an amazing unit and pvp force that has gained some notoriety with in the wormhole community. Three months ago we happened upon a system, J120512 a class 6 wormhole with a class 3 static and a Cataclysmic Variable effect. The effect of this wormhole gives a 100% bonus to remote repair and capacitor amount making Guardians extremely effective for any and all PvP activities. When entering this system we discovered its inhabitants "Reaper's Grin" an alliance with a very old corp heading it called "In to the void" the corp was a decent size at 120 members so we figured we would engage them and see how well they fought.

RGRIN refused to fight. We put a 7 man fleet in their hole and held back ten members of our fleet to see if they would fight. We had seen they had at least 10 people online and in hole and even with provocation they refused to take the fight. Twenty minutes goes by and nothing so we decide to roll them away and go find pvp else were. Feeling cheated one of our members throws an alt for scanning in their hole to harass them a bit and get them worked up so we can go fight them later.

Weeks go by. We rolled into their hole several times and everytime we either were able to gank a tech 3 running anomalies in their static c3 or they would POS up and go AFK refusing to give an actual fight.

My alliance Ragnarok. continued to grow and we continued to watch as RGRIN would run their home sites and then log off. One instance while they were running sites we decided to try and gank them. we formed up a fleet with friends from Semper Ubi Sub Ubi and Skyfighters. before we could pull the trigger on the operation and drop our 65 man fleet on their capital ships they finished one site and everyone in RGRIN logged off.

Displeased with how these kind of people could live and thrive in C6 space we set a plan in motion to MAKE them fight.

We began chain collapsing our static. Forcing enough mass through a class 6 static will collapse it and form a new random C6 wormhole. So hours of chain collapsing would be done everynight to try and push a fight from them. Everytime we connected they would log off.

So, we decided to smoke them out. Now while chain collapsing for them everytime we connected to their wormhole we would push 3 critical mass capital ships in to their hole and log them off.

We started with one Thanatos class carrier two Moros class dreadnoughts and a Revelation class dread. While talking to friends of our alliance "Scary Wormhole People" (WHBOO) and Dropbears Anonymous (the Brave Newbies wormhole corp) they asked if they could join in on our operation. We set a timeline and the warmachine plowed on. This last weekend was our trigger date. Chain collapsing started 6 PM local time. we moved 3 WHBOO dreadnoughts in to Nova through a null sec entrance and 2 carriers and a dreadnought through a dircet connection to their wormhole. at 7 am Local time the next day the connection was made. Three dreadnoughts were moved into RGRIN's wormhole and logged off as the subcap fleet lead by Azandar and A Damn Patriot began to establish control of the c3 static. A low sec direct hole was used to bring an additional 3 dreads in and the siege began.

The main POS was sieged by the first wave of capitals while members began to chain collapse from Nova again. An hour later Nova reconnected moving an additional three dreadnoughts. With 9 dreadnoughts and 3 carriers we began to reinforce every structure in the wormhole. the reinforcement took a mere few hours while the Executor of the Reapers Grin alliance called for everyship in the wormhole to be self destructed.

It was at that time a spy within their alliance was activated and we acquired another Archon class carrier with a full rack of fighters and 5 billion isk in combat vessels.

Negotiations began between myself and the Executor of RGRIN that fell apart when his own hubris clouded his judgement. So our fleets plowed on

in 24 hours 521 ships were destroyed in the wormhole, only 13 by weapon fire. every scout that sought a chain to k-space was either destroyed or rolled away due to the vigilance of the sub cap fleet.

For three days we responded to timers and destroyed everything that we could within the wormhole. Full hole control maintained for 24 hours for 3 days. 15 billion isk in damages and a capital fleet self destructed worked out to roughly 50 Billion killed in the weekend siege

With defectors jumping ship to warm arms Reapers Grin has collapsed and will eventually fade away into the history books

Wormhole space is a strange place... Kings rise and take power while plundering and pirating about while older kings atrophy and rot on their thrones and die only for nature to take its course and have the new kings eventually suffer the same fate of atrophy and death. The balance of power forever shifting and trading hands while newcomers rise to the challenges and elder entities fade away. The circle repeats its self over and over and over with so many of the old greats already gone.

Our alliance has stepped up to the plate to try and remove the atrophy and bring wormholes back to life and to the glory they once held.

There have been some greats in "Nova" having been in No Holes Barred in there for 6 months and having :gud fites: with AHARM who occupied previously and RnK before that, and what made them :gud fites: was using tactics to overcome the other as often there was a balance when it came to numbers on each side of the battle.

All you did was cycle holes, drop 12 caps in (commandeered a 13th) and blobbed a group knowing they were outnumbered by you, the fact that you had to use a spy in order to know their compositions and to steal ships is even more pathetic.

A good fight is knowing that there's an equal a chance of losing as much as there is winning but brawling on anyway not having 50 ships ready to drop on the 10 man gang you're engaging when there is the slightest chance you might actually lose.

Your story is bad and this isn't the 'Wormholes' sub-forum... Roll
