PL/NC. Skirmish with HERO over 3gd6-8 Station Armor Timer, Oh...and HERO Kills a Wyvern

At around 0:00 EVE Time, the 3GD6-8 Station was due to come out of reinforce as the final fight in the system between PL and HERO.  If HERO failed to rep the station and reset the timer, they would lose the system to PL.  As a result the amount of response to CTAs from HERO was staggering.  With multiple fleets being maxed at 250 pilots.  HERO brought a mainline DPS fleet comprised of Tengus and Eagles.  With a secondary Ishtar fleet in support.  This was of course furher supported by a massive 200 man EWAR fleet of mostly Crucifiers, themselves having "Rushcat" fit interceptors in support for ECM bursts.

The main objective for HERO was clear, they had to rep the station.  To that end, the main fleet was to hold the line against the enemy long enough for the Carriers to get on grid and rep the station.  As the timer drew closer to expiring, HERO intel flooded in that in addition to the slowcats and supers PL is known for, the TFI fleet used in the last fight would make a return.  The last IHub fight went poorly for these TFIs, who were a victim of their own success and lost a large amount of ships to HERO.

CFC Vs. N3 in WY-9LL

Yesterday, Northern Coalition. (NCdot) successfully tackled a group of Clusterfuck Coalition (CFC) dreads in WY-9LL, who were trying to reinforce a POS. The initial tackle of NCdot was done by a group interdictors but not long after, the main NCdot fleet, consisting of proteus strategic cruisers, entered the field.
CFC already had an armor doctrine Battleship fleet ready to rumble if things went south for their dreadnaughts and they also entered the field, and so the fight started. Darkeshi (DARKNESS. and The Kadeshi broliance) showed up in their Legion strategic cruiser doctrine, making the fight for the CFC even tougher.

CFC chose to primary the N3 logistic cruisers and this proved to be the best choice they could have made, as they were able to claim victory as the combined N3 forces quit the field. CFC also won the fight based on ISK destroyed.

D00M merges with Burning Napalm

Just a moment ago, Vince Draken, CEO of Northern Coalition made the announcement his corp, D00M., is merging with Burning Napalm.
From: Vince Draken

To: Northern Coalition.,
Good Evening D00M.
It is with regreat over the last few months it has come to be more evident that we as a corp do not have the leadership activity to properly run D00M. in the way it needs to be. Eve is a social game and we feel that we are at a point that things need to change. It has been a great run over the years but the time has come to put the horse out to pasture. D00M. will be going into hibernation and active members are being merged into Sm3ll. If you have any questions mail me (quesa).
I will be following you all over to SM3LL so i hope everyone thats stuck by me for the past 5 years leading this corp will understand why im doing this.
My attention needs to be on the Alliance i dont have time for both nothing will change over there other than its Whites name above the door and he and his team will provide you all with a better online experience.
Please make sure you take care in transfering corps and remember you DONT need to drop corp to do this once your roles are gone just apply to SM3LL.
D00M will not be leaving NC. and for now will remain in hibernation and used for “other” tasks.
Thank you all for your support

-Vince
D00M. was formed in 2005 by a player called Darknesss who we know from his third party services. Years later, Vince Draken took over and formed Northern Coalition. Check out this page for more information on NCDOT and DOOM.

CFC Pushes NC. out of Y-2ANO

With the station flipping in LBGI-2, N3 got a foothold in Fountain. It was a psychological victory as the station is not being used as a new forward operating base, continuing to stage out of Delve (M2-XFE) instead. NCdot planted a tower in Y-2ANO and staged their supercarriers there. This would be NCdot’s iron club to bash down CFC infrastructure in Fountain.

The CFC got wind of this and targeted the tower for destruction.  They titan-bridged their battleship fleet: Dominix-class battleships with a few special Amarr Navy Apocalypse (NaPocs) to augment DPS. The Dominix is a Gallente battleship that specializes in a heavy armor tank and vast drone bay. The large tanks keep the ships operable giving time for their drones to do their work.

The CFC deployed their drones and waited. Hundreds of sentry drones surveyed the dark space surrounding them. They aimed at the tower and went to work bashing it down. Destroying this tower would leave NCdot supercarrier pilots vulnerable to attack once they logged on and auto-warped back to a foreign tower that would repel their entry.  CFC would watch this location close and immediately trap any supercarrier bouncing off the large force field of the tower.

N3 Renters Refocused But Still Make Mistakes

Early on the 7th November 2014 a message went out from LadyScarlet of the Northern Coalition. alliance that was meant for the entirety of their renter alliance, Northern Associates.
Sent:2014-11-07 03:45:00
there is much goon activity around omist area you need to watch yourselves don’t be useing caps without proper defense.
shoot hostile sbus when you can
e appreciate all those who been helping keep up the good work!!! please be safe and watch intell channels. Always”
Northern Coalition. are currently stationed in Querious and are concentrating on the local area and Period Basis, having taken a number of systems, and they are making good headway into securing the patch for themselves and the N3 as a whole. However, they are meeting resistance from alliances like Fatal Ascension, Get Off My Lawn and C0VEN, who also live within a couple of regions of Querious.

As NC. makes headway in Querious and other regions post-Phoebe, and as some of it's alliance score victories against their rival CFC, some people are taking losses.  It seems NC. has finally acknowledged the role renter groups can play in an overall war effort.

When asked whether the attacking of hostile SBU's should be the focus solely of N3's PVP alliances, or the task should be split, had this to say:

Well, you first have to understand Omist and so on is N3 space not just NC. space.
NC. is predominantly around Querious/Period Basis and so on. That doesn’t mean we won’t help but we also have russians to deal with in our own area of operation. Nulli Secunda and the other N3 groups are around omist and are dealing with that side of things.

Many of our renters ask what they can do to help out with the war effort. Obviously shooting enemy Sovereignty Blockade Units is the biggest and most simple thing they can do, because many aren’t pvp corps and we wouldn’t want them needlessly dying to stuff they can’t defend against.


This makes perfect sense. There is no reason to divide your forces if you don't have to.  Focusing it's primary PVP elements on engaging the CFC directly, while allowing other groups to pick off easier targets is a solid plan, if it works.

This task delegation can be accomplished by less experienced pilots in cheaper ships, so why not unleash the dogs?  There is one crucial issue.

Logistics.

The over extension of N3 supply lines and it's capital/supercapital assets is a real danger.  Especially given that the careful positioning of rapid response forces is now a vital element of holding SOV, these ships and pilots are absolutely necessary for meaningful ops in SOV null.

This posses a problem of having these assets in the wrong hands and those hands could end up losing them in combat.  Forcing the diversion of resources to replace those lost assets that could be better used elsewhere.The potentially dangerous mix of replacing assets lost on low priority targets makes over extension a real hazard for SOV holding entities.  This move by N3 is expected to be mirrored by other entities to minimize unnecessary losses.

One loss that occurred just after LadyScarlet sent her mail regarding the careful use of capital assets was a Nyx belonging to Lingua Mortis, of Combat Matous, Northern Associates., destroyed by a 70 man CFC Ishtar/other stuff gang in L-AS00 in Omist. There are suggestions that he may have been shooting an SBU at the time of his destruction, however I have been unable to verify this and when asked, LadyScarlet said she had no information about the Nyx loss or it’s activities at the time.

Nyxkm

It has been rumoured recently that a small gang of CFC pilots have created what has become known as a ‘Reaver’ gang, with the sole purpose of getting behind the N3 lines to disrupt their ISK making in certain regions while also taking pot-shots at POS in the area to generate annoying notifications for the owners.
Whether or not this kill proves the existence of a ‘Reaver’ gang or whether it is merely evidence that Phoebe has brought back the art of roaming for kills rather than sitting on a titan is still up for debate. One thing is certain: winter is coming.

Leaks: Against ALL Authorities Aim Their Guns At NC.

An Against ALL Authorities alliance mail has been leaked, revealing their intention to target Northern Coalition. This will be done as a “Coalition” alongside Afterlife, c0ven and Soviet-Union. The main fleet doctrine will be shield ishtars and they will be staging out of 4GQ-XQ in Stain. The alliance mail is below in both Russian and English.
Пришла пора участвовать в большой войне.

Наша цель NC. и их ситы.

Хоть нас и мало, но мы можем надрать им зад и хорошо помочь коалиции.

Будем летать во флотах с Afterlife, c0ven и Soviet-Union.
С этого момента все кто живой, активный и желает присоединиться (мы не заставляем) переезжайте в систему регруппа наших союзников 4GQ-XQ. До патча осталось 3 дня, используйте их для переезда, пока капиталы могут прыгать безнаказанно.
Для КТА и роамингов используются тимспики Ковенов и Афтерлайф.

Инструкция по регистрации будет отдельно.

Скоро заработает коалиционный джаббер.

Основной формат на текущий момент: шилд иштары.
Надеятся нам не на кого. Из болота выбираться мы можем только самостоятельно.

Те кто кемпит Брейвов – отвлекитесь немного, мы всегда можем к ним вернуться.

У нас есть шанс получить хорошие зарубы, пощупать супера врага.

It is a time to engage in a big war.

Our aim NCdot and their citizens.

We have small numbers, but we can kick their ass and help to coalition.

We will fly in fleets with Afterlife, c0ven and Soviet-Union.
From now on all who alive, active and willing to join (we do not force) move to regroup system of our allies – 4GQ-XQ. 3 days left to Phoebe, use them to move until the capital can jump unpunished.
For CTA and roaming we will use C0ven and The Afterlife. comms.

Instructions for registration will be shortly.

Soon the coalition jabber will work as well.

Main fleet doctrine: Shield Ishtars.
We can not hope to anyone. From the swamp, we can only be selected independently.

BRAVE campers – we can always go back to them, take a break.

We can touch hostiles for the supers etc.

Black Legion./N3/PL vs. CFC in 4-ABS8

CFC and allied BL., NC., along with PL forces skirmished in a string of systems on October 28th.

The battle started in 4-ABS8 and as it progressed spilled over into J-CIJV

BL, Nulli.and PL have been seen hunting together in search of good fights, quite a lot recently.  This was no exception.  A long term CFC presence in 4-ABS8 system in Pure Blind was the target of a coordinated strike from the opposition late Tuesday night.

With 4-ABS8 being within a few jumps of both highsec and lowsec, it has always been a system that people pass through on their way through certain areas of null. Pure Blind being right in the heart of GSF SOV, it's no coincidence that anti-CFC forces struck there.

The fight began when NC. and PL forces moved into the system presumably from a lowsec staging point,  And as more CFC forces came on grid, BL was called in to help.

The fight kicked off when CFC and S2N forces arrived on grid with the J-C stargate at roughly the same time: the CFC Tengu fleet landed at zero, while the S2N Cerberus fleet landed at a perch. Reagalan ordered interdictor bubbles deployed between the two fleets to keep S2N from retreating to J-C, and his fleet maneuvered to the side so that he could warp on top of the hostile force. S2N beat him to the punch, and the fight started when the S2N Cerberus gang warped in on him at zero. Antimatter was loaded in the CFC Tengus, and the order to tackle everything was given just as the CFC Cawk fleet, numbering approximately 100 pilots, arrived on grid about 50km away from the Cerberuses. Heavy losses among the Cawk fleet ensued, as dozens of assault frigates charged headlong into the fire of Rapid Light Missile Launchers to swarm the Cerberus gang and pin them down. Another broadcast went out to CFC jabber services for a Celestis fleet under Lemba.

As the fight escalated and the anti-CFC decided to evac it's forces, the battle was rejoin in the nearby system of J-CIJV when they were caught in gate camps.  With both sides suffering some major losses.  With several hundred pilots involved at the low end, the number and value of ships lost overall is a staggering more than 600 ships and  ~70 Billion ISK.




With all the changes in Null recently, from Kadeshi and NC. seizing former CFC SOV, and the BRAVE/PROVI war being called off, it was only a matter of time before someone tried to pull a mass op against the CFC to try and capitalize on their withdrawal from PB, Querious, and Delve.
