We begin tonight’s report with news from the west. A Red Federation vs Blue Republic (RvB) Cynabal/Dramiel fleet made its way to Delve to die at the hands of The Kadeshi and DARKNESS (DARKESHI) in 6Q-R50. The RvB fleet lost a total of 10.67 billion with 133 ships destroyed, and DARKESHI lost 2.59 billion in isk with 31 ships destroyed.
In the north fights are heating up in Geminate between Black Legion with Confederation of xXPIZZAXx against Legion of xXDEATHXx. A xXPIZZAXx POV posted on reddit goes into more detail:
XIX had been hitting all of our sov over Christmas, aiming to catch us while people were away seeing relatives and the like, we time our sov for USTZ as it’s their weakest timezone. AP9’s i-hub was coming out of shield reinforce at 04:15 today, we knew XIX had a form up posted for 03:30, and saw that BWF local was at 70.
We pinged Elo and asked for some backup, and once he returned from being afk in his living room, he formed up a 50man tengu fleet. The Tengu’s had to burn 16j across Vale to get to us, and were going to arrive late. Elo told us to go in with RR chimeras on the hub and buy some time, we formed 7 max tank chimeras, about 20 tackle and 4 dreads for the inevitable escalation.
As BL are 2j from the bridge Titan we warp chimeras onto the hub, chain up and start repping it, XIX decloak a falcon and drop their 50man Ishtar fleet onto the hub at 0 with 6 Dreads. We overheat the tank on our chimeras and slowly lose 2. BL arrive on the bridge Titan and bridge into the system with their 50man Tengu fleet, we jump in our Dreads, one titan, then the bridge titan. We slowly lose 4 more chimeras and one dread while we kill their Dreads, with the Tengu fleet chasing down the Ishtar’s and destroying 90% of the Ishtar fleet. Field was held, i-hub was repped, SBUs were destroyed, made about 6b loot to fund the chimera SRP.
After all was said and done xXDEATHXx lost a total of 33.64 billion in this fight including 6 Dreads, 2 Carriers, and 27 Ishtar’s. BL/xXPIZZAXx lost a total of 20.8 billion mostly due to the 6 carriers and single Dread lost by xXPIZZAXx. The full battle report can be seen by clicking here.
In the East, Black Legion was at it again helping a Dream Fleet/Red Alliance Typhoon fleet (40+ Typhoons) in Detorid with a Tengu fleet (70 Tengus at least) shooting Northern Associates I-HUB’s. Unfortunately for Northern Associates and Gentlemen’s Club they lost the fight losing 8.94 billion Isk (including 22 Ishtar’s and 5 Scimitars) compared to 1.59 billion lost by Black Legion, Dream Fleet, and Red Alliance.
