Phoebe Freeport Republic And Gorgon Empire Clash

[Disclaimer: The author of this piece is the Head Diplomat for Phoebe Freeport Republic]

For the last couple of weeks rising tensions between Rebel Alliance of New Eden [RANE] /The Gorgon Empire [-GE-] and Phoebe Freeport Republic [PFR] has led to increasing escalations of action. Initially, it was a case of a few blops drops on ratters here and there however when [RANE] RF’d several of [PFR]’s R32s it caused a noticeable spike in hostilities. In reaction to this [PFR] reinforced/destroyed a number of [RANE] POSes in Wicked Creek’s 5Y1E-3 constellation, in particular the system of M-MBRT. One of the POSes RF’d was a R64 belonging to [-GE-]. The R64 was a personal moon belonging to one of Gorgon Empire’s leaders; White Don, so [PFR] expected little to no organized resistance from Gorgon, who would have to burn from Curse to defend the moon.

VENGEANCE IN VENAL – Black Legion vs CFC

The clashes between CFC and BL in Venal have now reached a new apex, in a clash over 2 moons recently.  Both sides fielded large Tengu fleets, with Black Legion bringing slightly more of the now-ubiquitous ships while the CFC supported theirs with triage Chimeras and a moderate-sized “Boot” fleet of Archons. The battle itself was over two “money” moons in the 8CIX system, one belonging to Black Legion and another to Out-of-Sight, a Russian alliance living in Venal who are allied with BL.
