Pilots,

As of approximately 16:00 this afternoon, the Sansha Incursion into Q-6LG1 has been defeated by the Defence Forces of the Providence Bloc. The Sansha Mothership was destroyed by the combined firepower of approximately 25 Navy Apocalypse battleships with supporting Guardian and Oneiros Logistics.

The Incursion began 3 days ago, and affected predominately the area designated as a Caldari Enclave under the custodianship of the Caldari Independant Navy Reserve. Providence Defence forces contested the Sansha bases immediately, and successfully triggered access to the Mothership late into the night Yulai time yesterday. Once sufficient numbers could be mustered, an immediate strike was made. Unlike many incursions in Highsec, it was our desire to minimise up time for the Incursion to protect lives and prevent forced kidnappings, especially given the more difficult nature of mustering pilots in Nullsec and the need to protect the surrounding colonies.

Affected colonies included the Arcology set up by Aurora Arcology within the Enclave area. Attempts to contact Ms Ymladris for the status of the Arcology are on-going, and we hope to have an update soon. Current estimates across other colonies put total numbers of lives lost at 1,392 from Providence Defence Forces and civillians, and approximately 28,000 are registered as missing. We believe these numbers would be much higher had this Incursion not been brought to an end faster.

I would like to thank all the pilots who worked tirelessly to bring this event to a close, and pray for those we couldn't save. The scourge of Sansha is great, and we must be ever vigilant for their return.

A heartfelt thanks to all CVA members and the Providence Bloc at large. The Incursion, while providing an enjoyable element of chaos on the battlefield, was a massive hindrance to all on-going mercenary sorties participating in Operation Deliverance. In addition to beating back the Nation, saving countless lives, and getting those god foresaken propaganda messages off open comms, you've directly aided our ability to more effectively combat authorized targets as they appear.

We're in your debt. In the future should you ever need fire support the Night Theifs are at your disposal.

Kirjuun! Uakan! Teknikiara! Kanpai kameitsamuu! Ra ra ra!

Congratulations on a hard-won victory.

Pray-tell, any chance of some attention being given to the incursions that are currently going on in Amarr HiSec? I believe the people of Qermi and Sanair and especially Ajah would love to have the same attention given to their defense.

Or did I miss the memo in which service to Providence is more vital than service to Amarr? I've been away for a bit, these memos do tend to get lost.

Well, good job, either way.

Unlike nullsec, Empire space has a far greater web of protection for the planets. Imperial space and ground forces protect against planetary assaults with far greater forces then we can muster up, you can see as much on the 'memo' you get from the CONCORD router that gets set up. Did you miss that one too?

Thanks for the congratulations Lord Mokk. But if you worry about the capsuleers who take their time in hisec to farm CONCORD for Bounties, the problem is with the system that allows such a thing. Considering CVA and the other Providence Holders are almost always under permanent wardec, another well abused CONCORD system, there's not much we can do for incursions outside of our space.

Please don't bring a stick to stir drama with, I'd hate for us to fall out my Lord.

Today at 0827 Hours EST I destroyed a 24IC Tristan with the combined firepower of my Hookbill and podded its user. Military experts would call it a dank solo kill.

The scourge of militia farmers remains significant, but I did my part to make low sec great again.

More news as it develops.

All contact with the Aurora Brigade and the Arcology itself was, of course, cut off when the Sansha disrupted the flow router system during the instigation of their incursion. With the destruction of the blockade, normal service was restored and Brigade Command was quick to restore Comms and upload their logs during the incident.

I'm happy to report that the Sansha made no attack upon the Arcology during the black out. The Arcology followed it's normal protocol in case of Sansha Incursion and immediately quarantined itself, allowing neither launches nor docking during the duration. The report highlights a rise in Civil Disturbance and petty crime during the Incursion but nothing that security couldn't handle. Riot troops were dispatched and the Arcology placed under Martial Law for the duration of the Emergency.

I am pleased to report that Martial Law was suspended shortly after the resumption of normal operations and that the Arcology has been returned to civilian administration entirely. Please contact myself regarding any events or incidents that occured during the period of Martial Law and Ms Ymladris or her administrators for all other Arcology Business.

Thank you.
