HERO Stands Against PL Once Again

Catch continues to burn, following on from HERO’s defeat at V-3YG7 where the station was put into its first timer, HERO have been attempting to slow Pandemic Legion (PL) attempts to take the systems of MB-NKE, HED-GP, ZXIC-7, WQH-4K, 2J-WJY, U-QVWD and of course V-3YG7. Since the last battle at V-3YG7, PL has managed to capture the system of U-QVWD, but has HERO successfully managed to destroy the Sovereignty Blockade Units (SBUs) in WQH-4K, 2J-WJY and MB-NKE which left the systems of V-3YG7, HED-GP, and ZXIC-7 under contention.
3 days since the start of the renewed hostilities between the groups the first timer in HED-GP came out last night at 23:15 and this hotly contested system once again became the focal point in the conflict.

PL And HERO Brawl over Final HED-GP Timer

The battle over the final timer for the HED-GP IHUB that was coming out of reinforced, PL was ready, as was HERO.  HERO was able to set dozens of bubbles on field around the PL forces as they landed on gird.  Locking them down so the HERO caps and their massive subcap force could engage.

The initial PL force was comprised mostly of Navy Apocs and triage carriers. The typical large numbers of subcaps fielded by HERO brought overwhelming force against PL, meaning they lost several triage carriers and had to try and withdraw to reorganize for a short time.  Especially after losing nearly 50 Navy Apocs.

HERO and PL brawl in HED-GP

As HERO and PL continue their ongoing skirmishes in Catch, another blow had been struck against HERO. PL  has used its Supercapital superiority to capture the systems of U-QVWD,  1P-WGB, and after a spectacular battle F4R2-Q.  It would seem that HERO is steadily losing ground to the seemingly insurmountable foe of PL.  The dire situation was usually balanced out by HERO's ability to field larger numbers in their fleets, but the supercap aggression of PL looks to be unstoppable.
