OK this is a long shot but someone remind me, Caroline's star, and the star from the first Seyllein incident. Were they in generally the same area of space? Did they occur near each other???


The original Bright Star was located far to the galactic south, several million lightyears away. It also took place a whole year before the Seyllin Incident.

And that relative to the current star is?...I'm bad at astronomy (and other things). Is Caroline's galactic north?

Caroline's Star is within the New Eden Cluster in the galactic northeast.

Well, it looks like I get to refit some ships and go poke my nose where I probably shouldn't....

I want to paint my ship Periwinkle.

Who is coordinating the humanitarian effort? Are more ships needed?

Fedo are not what they seem to be.  Welcome to Night Vale.

The unfortunate truth is that until the Sisters of EVE start cooperating with us - or hell, talking to us at all - there's not actually a whole hell of a lot we can do.

I couldn't honestly recommend such an action, given that the stations have functional defence turrets, but... yeah, I guess you could. What I'm saying is that it's possible, not that it's in any way a good idea.

Bad idea? Maybe. But if they won't answer questions when asked politely...

... they're probably not going to answer them after you fruitlessly shoot at their stations, either. These aren't conquerable outposts - these are stations with empire-class shielding. They're utterly impregnable to subcapital weapons, and it seems like some SoE wormhole supression technology might still be active, because none of the wormholes are large enough to allow capital ships inside. You aren't going to accomplish anything by shooting them, and you'll probably put your pilots and their crews in unneccessary danger.

Please, just this once, take my advice? I'm not giving it for my benefit, after all.

Spray paint "Sisters do it with sleeper drones" in large, bright letters on their stations?

What if we build the capital ships inside the wormhole? Think we could rattle them enough to make them talk then?

Not possible. No infrastructure to allow that.

So, we aren't able to bring in big guns or build them there.

So anyone of you guys have a private army he can ship in ?
I guess a few hundred marines could be transported within some battleships to one station and take it on a single strike. Maybe this will force SOE to cooperate.
I all ready asked FCON leadership for a command but our soldiers are needed in Branch to defend our stuff from BL.

Hey Kimmy, I heard that the Federation's President was touring one of Thera's active stations with no fleet escort!

It's going to be difficult to mount a rescue operation with 2 or 3 dedicated corporations on a murderious rampage outside the stations and on any applicable wormholes.
