A Nyx Supercarrier belonging to Cecile Dantes from SKULLDOGS was destroyed 48 hours ago by a combined force of PURPLE HELMETED WARRIORS [PHEW] and Freight Club [FR8T] with some help from Touch Fiberoptic [WINRS] in Camal (Derelik).
Cecile Dantes preferred not to commment on the incident, but Tarsas Phage from Freight Club and RoCkEt X from PURPLE HELMETED WARRIORS were kind enough to send us their side of the story.
Background:
During mid-January of this year, a corp belonging to Unclaimed. alliance (SKULLDOGS) began entering Camal solar system with a small number of capitals (10-12), subcap pilots showed up sometime later bringing their total number to around 25. During the week beginning January 21st, a Falcon decloaked off the Unclaimed. staging tower at Planet IX – Moon 2, subsequently lighting a cyno and jumping in an Erebus, which then slowboated into the unarmed tower. The PHEW scout informed a member of Freight Club, who were at war with Unclaimed at the time, and the Freight Club pilot did his best to scramble to Camal to keep the Erebus out of the bubble, but due to the time zone, we were unable to engage, resulting in the Erebus making it to safety. Unclaimed. later armed the POS with 5x ECM batteries, 4x Neutraliser batteries and approximately 15 guns of varying size.As with many targets in our local area, one of PHEW’s directors (Simon Perry) did some digging and came up trumps. SKULLDOGS (corporation) was soon to be kicked from their alliance, though they currently had a Nyx in build and thus would be allowed to remain in the alliance until the build job completed. Further digging yielded the CSAA system’s name (ZS-2LT) and that they would be leaving some time on Feb 4th. This spawned a discussion in PHEW’s comms between its members (among whom is also a long time member of Freight Club). The chances are; the build job would finish on the 4th, probably around downtime – and we know where SKULLDOGS are staging; in Camal.
Date: 4/02/2013 / 11:30 EVE Time
Location: PHEW staging tower (Derelik)
Target: SKULLDOGS, Unknown Nyx Pilot.
Operation Specifics: Track Nyx Supercarrier from launch in ZS-2LT to Camal, and engage.A neutral alt in a covops is in position at the build location (ZS-2LT) [50 jumps from home... simon was pretty mad... ololol] watching the CSAA tower. After downtime, local slowly rose from 3 to about 10, 4 of which are members of the target corp. We realise the target needs to take two midpoints assuming JDC 5 to reach Camal, and with a travel fit; this would take less than ten minutes.
During this time, PHEW’s fleet forms on the titan; though due to low numbers and the entire alliance being at work and such; only three pilots were available, who between us were providing eyes, the bridging titan, 3 supercarriers, a Leviathan, 3 HICs, a single triage carrier and a Machariel.
This left us majorly short of people, and a ping was sent out to call for more pilots; we’d need more HICs because of the ECM and neuts on the tower, more subcaps to keep the Nyx out of the tower; and extra carriers to make the Pantheon fleet effective. We got negative responses, so we were unable to muster the numbers ourselves. We knew this would be an issue. The night before, one of our number (who is both a senior member of PHEW, and a long-time Freight Club member) had made our long term friends in Freight Club aware of the situation, and they had offered their assistance should it be needed. Within minutes of them getting the call, their subcap numbers and extra HICs gave us enough to engage.
At approximately 12:30, the Nyx was launched from its CSAA and boarded by its new pilot, Cecile Dantes. It jumped out 15 minutes later, accompanied by an Ark piloted by Deepen. From this point we spammed locator agents on the Nyx pilot. During the course of the jump route, they made a third waypoint, presumably to move more cyno alts into position. At this point they paused, with still 1 mid point to go until they hit our target system.
After about 90 minutes, and still nothing we decided to move a scout down there. Moments later, a Magnate, accompanied by a Machariel, warped to the POS and took up a cyno position outside the tower’s shield. We guessed that they were now moving again, so depending on whether the Nyx was travel fit, (which if travelling with a JF it should be) it would be in system within the next 15 minutes.
At this point, our neutral cyno Pilgrim is cloaked 250km above the tower and aligned ready to warp, just waiting for the cyno to go up. Sure enough – the Magnate lit. The Pilgrim warps down to it at 10km, and holds its cloak. First, the Ark comes in and sits motionless; then the Nyx pilot enters local, and enters grid less than half a second later; by which point our cyno is up, and our bridge is open.
Supercap and subcap pilots (except HICs) had preliminary orders to tackle the Ark and to prioritize bumping the Nyx, but true to Freight Club’s nature, one of them soon points out that there’s a JF to be killed; which they are subsequently asked by the FC to ignore as the JF is well out of the shield and already pinned (supercap pilots have already received a whisper to volley it). The Freight Club members played a sizeable role in ensuring the Nyx is kept out of the forcefield. A status check on the HICs reveals that the tower is not actually shooting any of us.
There was some discussion in TS at this point regarding whether the Nyx is tank fit or not; though a quick look at the Supercap’s volley damage revealed that it was travel fit, but has a lot of armor. As it hit structure, it quickly became apparent that he didn’t have a Damage Control either.
Loot was subsequently split evenly between Freight Club and PHEW, the latter of which donating its share of the loot to our intel sources.
SKULLDOGS. has since been kicked from Unclaimed., though intel suggests that this was intended even prior to the Nyx’s departure from existence.
Unclaimed. alliance ALONE has sustained the loss of a Nyx and three JF’s totalling over 45 billion in value at the hands of Freight Club and ourselves in the space of three days; efforts for which I commend them and offer continued support whilst they reside within our bridging range.
So the Nyx was launched from the CSAA at approximately 12:30, and destroyed before 15:00.
Here are the killmails for the Nyx, the Nomad and both Arks lost by Unclaimed.
It is also a fact that they have left Unclaimed. the same day, but whether they were kicked or left on their own accord is to be confirmed.
Freight Club, [PHEW] and friends keep proving that they are really good at what they do. 2013 has seen 7 freighters and a whooping 53 Jump freighters dying at their hands.

I know someone who was there!
Also: Death to all supers!
example that stupidity is infinite.
I can confirm that they were leaving the alliance. In fact, S Tein, one of the SDOGS hosted our website and teamspeak, of which we changed the same day: eve-unclaimed.com to www.evetroll.com . Shows the intention, since making a site like this can't be done in the time we switched.
Just to spice things a little: sdogs asked to join The Kadeshi, even after the backstab they did to ROL. As a anwer, they got laughs from us. Really, sdogs ? After such behaviour what would you expect. No alliance or corp in all eve, with at least two brain cells still connected will accept you…ever !
Ah, and they claimed that the reason they want to left Unclaimed. is the SAME reason that made they backstab ROL: lack of freedom and being treated as pets.
Oh, the irony, sweet and delicious irony !!!!
Good hunt.
Kadeshi Grunt
These motherfucking faggots are joining RED Alliance.
Does this mean that RA will be able to muster 6 people for fleets now?
Another example of RA being a shell that will take anybody as long as they are Care Bears.
aww man. my condolencies. On the other hand, at least they lost a super =)
dead supers are cute.
Dead supers, best supers.
Generic comments, worst comments.
I'll just cover my face with a palm, mate.
We were backstabbed, mistakes were made, doesn't mean we're not good on what we do.
Expect those motherfockers faggots on your fleets kicking some serious asses, and I have to say I'm looking forward to it.
He is actually stepping up for us dude. Irony lvl 5
I am sure they will do fine. If not, well they gave it a good run. Tonight I have seen good participation on their part. All is well. Forum Drama best drama. Без муки нет науки
careful grunt.. you might end up with a boot up your ass if you start behaving like that!
because for someone that wants nothing to do with unclaimed, the two alt corps you guys have in there speaks wildly of your hyprocrisy.
Now, go on and return to that little dark hole you came from, you mushroom.
Yes becuase backstabbing russians that treated any non russian corps like shit, gave them shit space, and did shit to help them when being invaded is considered backstabbing. Coven would bring more to fleets when paragon got invaded thatn ROL did. You cant backstab a bunch of russian botters that dont care about you.
Go back to being nullis bitch and give up more space for thier renters kadeshi.
BTW for those that want to know skulldogs got turned down from Test alliance, Nulli and Kadeshi.
What do u mean "turned down"?
You really have no clue about how the nulli renter system works in N3 do you….lol. Let's leave it like that. I bet you think NC. "gave up" it's renter space as well. In fact we all gave up our renter space just to fill nulli's pocket. That's how generous N3 coalition partners are.
Why the hell woulod anyone want to join Kadeshi? All you guys are good for are padding killboards. Thanks btw, all you Kadeshi tards won me top killer in my corp (whoop whoop!)
The traitorous dogs that back stabbed ROL deserve all the grief that's coming to them/ My regards to everyone involved in the destruction of the Nyx and the Jump Freighters. Especially the scouts. Good job guys.
Boring…
common conseus in TROLL is that sdogs had a spy in corp and it was the spy who alerted everyone invovled. good kills btw
SDOGS left on their own accord.
So I heard Karma is a bitch
Who the hell are Purple Helmeted Warriors? I know freight club, Jita super campers and same alliance as x13, but PHEW? Are they NPC 0.0 alliance or something?
some one has never been to eve kill, im guessing a .0 scrub who only knows freight club because the die a lot in high sec and then there leadership get mad and send rage mails about not using jf's in high sec? c/d???
0.0 scrubs should just stop coming to hisec at all. Stay in your blue donut ring and choke on it.
I know freight club, Jita super campers
wat
Confirming we camp supers in Jita
420 420 smoke capitals erryday
Thats why u have no supers in Jita. They all die.
they mostly do low sec stuff. every now and again they kill a supercapital in lowsec
We're like. THE COOLEST DUDES EVER.
They are gentlemen who have been around awhile.
Dammit what happened to RED Fed now? Oh sorry yeah yeah SKULLDOGS, Nyx, Jump Frieghter, boom boom, generic comment about Unclaimed. being terrible or something.
Pro ass SDOGS
This is why SDogs can't have nice things.
This is what I like to see from underdogs
YAWN! I log on for some juicy gossip and this is all I get today ?.
Is this incident even worthy of a an eve news headline ? If this is the best that null /low sec has to offer right now then I'm quitting (again)
More interesting than the fake slap fight drama going on between the CFC and their on and off again HBC love interest.
To some people, if it isn't Goons, Test or PL, nobody is making anything worth a damn in this game.
As I've said several times now, I enjoy stories like this. Freight Club and PHEW are VERY good, they stalked and did their homework for this kill, and it deserves a little article, in my opinion.
53 jump freighters in a month, man. What's not to love about it?
To be clear here, Unclaimed. had nothing to do with any of thee losses. The intel about the nyxes was given
by somebody in SDOGS (Confirmed by the Pilot who lost His Nyx). They actually had untill thuesday to
pack theIr bags.
Funny enough the guy who lost his nyx was pritty chill about it because he knew what happend but his leadership felt diffrently, they went into the ultimate rage mate, saying that we must have tiped the enemy off blablabla.
Good luck to SDOGS!
- Bobmon
Purple guys seem to be very good at what they do. I dont know enough as I should about them. They seem to be another group of small but very thorough fighters….Good Luck.
All you need to know is if you see either of them in local, don't try to jump anything into the system.
Ill only do it with my NCDOT guys on Batphone
Seriously I have seen there KM`s and for only a few hundred guys they have had like 30-40 SC`s on KM`s before.
I bet they are up there with most SC to Numbers ratio.
SDOGS was not kicked, SDOGS, STEMP and TAN. "betrayed" ROL because ROL was a master pet alliance which limited corporations to a single solar system. SDOGS and STEMP formed Unclaimed which is a way more fun and open alliance than ROL ever was. And they are now in PL
Soco was a dictatorship, master-pet coalition which deserved to die.
>which limited corporations to a single solar system
these systems tell you are stupid liar evemaps.dotlan.net/system/UTDH-N evemaps.dotlan.net/system/23M-PX
>And they are now in PL
Who are they? ))
from what ive been told the director of sdogs bad karma reinburst the super loss personally out of his own wallet. i hear all this stuff about sdogs be bad and stuff and have shit leadership but haven leadership like that now wonder people like the corp
bad move going to ra all they do is fail and yet again russian
We shall see comrade if your prediction is true. Без муки нет науки
Mixed bunch of comments here, some fairly reasonable and some so wide of the mark and mis-informed that its scary to think that such retards are allowed access to a keyboard.
anyway, the Nyx……. MMMmm
contrary to pre-pubesent bobmoan's comment, i didnt detect any leadership rage here, beyond a twinge of facepalm at loosing a Nyx to what was a well executed and carried out gank, but then i tend to ignore any 17yr old who has brain in neutral and mouth in gear attitude, still, probably good attributes for a troll diplo.
as far as the ROL situation goes, again odd comments from the "i was there", but actually i wasn't bunch of wannabe idiots.
ROL failed simply due to the fact that -A- let them burn, and we all know who had a hand in that dont we ?
there was no "backstabbing" involved, when the blob decended ROL got hung out to dry, if there had been any milage in staying the course then we would have done, you remember that when general custer had his last few fighting men surrounded it didnt work out to well for him either.
go look at the killboards its all there, sdogs/stemp/TAN they all fought hard outnumbered but to no avail.
back to the NYX, cos its why we're here, intel was sent out from a sleeper spy within corp (yes we know who it is before you all ask) with CSAA out time and probable desto, RnK got the info but they were either busy elsewhere or lazy, so it was passed on to those you see on the KM, with rose tinted specs i can look back and say maybe we shoulda done things differently, but again it was a well planned and executed operation not exactly GF's but as a gank congrats.
Unclaimed, for those of you who are itching to get to the bottom of some huge conspiricy, sorry to dissapoint you but there isnt one, well not from our end. we happen to think that leadership are filling the alliance with a huge amount of alt corps and carebears and this isnt how you build a so called pvp alliance, so we made our feelings known and gave notice, thats when the whispering started.
a certain person started a reddit post under an assumed name (oh the IP is a dead giveaway but the poster although high on words was a bit low on IQ to create an alt on the same connection) same person then poured lies into the ears of every alliance we approached, (logs and mails freely available to anyone who might need conformation) and despite having 2 weeks to move our assets out kicked us from intel channels, which made moving just slightly tricky
i find it odd that Unclaimed should want to stir up so much needless crap, over a corp they say the dont care about, maybe it detracts from how badly they are performing in CTA's,
yes we are in RA (groans or applause at this point) we will give 100% for our alliance mates, we will get as good fights as we can manage, some we will loose and some we will win, but the main thing is, we will start having fun again, we will log in chill out, blow shit up, and generally relax as a group, and as EvE is a something we as a corp do to escape the pressures and stresses of real life, id say, mission acomplished,
oh did i say, nice Nyx gank, say hi at fanfest and the first round is on me.
Ed
One interesting thing happend in Red Alliance just before SDOGS entered them.
RA Holding corp took all stations off from "regular" alli corps.
lol you actually believed that crap we spewed in your public channel haha joke really is on you mate.
see, the amusing part is… our UnclaimedDOT spy is now in RA…
LOL! who hasn't spies in null alliances? really?! do you somehow think that is a big thing?
Not to mention they don't need the massive blob of players that the CFC has to do it.
