Over the last few days three Nulli Secunda Super Capital Ship Assembly Arrays (CSAA) have been destroyed in Feythabolis.
The last of which was destroyed on the 2nd November 2014 at around 8am eve time.
Unfortunately for Nulli they did not deploy to their new home of Impass until just after this CSAA was destroyed otherwise they may have been able to defend it.
None of the CSAA’s seems to have been active at the time of destruction.
Nulli Secunda, up till today, been deployed in the north of New Eden in the Lonetrek region hitting strategic targets of the CFC in and around Pure Blind along with Gentlemen’s Club and Black Legion. CFC seems to have decided that a preemptive strike on the super capital production of Nulli Secunda was required.
According to sources within the CFC, the thinking seems to be; if you can cripple your enemies supercap fleet production just before Phoebe hits on the 4th November by taking out POS and CSAA’s then getting replacements will become problematic after the patch.
Now that Nulli Secunda seem to have deployed to their post Phoebe home of Impass the opportunities to hit the remaining Nulli CSAA’s in the area seems to have passed and Nulli still have a few more days to get new ones in and set up before the Phoebe patch hits and travelling long distances with large amounts of cargo will be come much more hazardous.
Another question arises from the loss of these CSAA’s. Nulli Secunda were in the north hitting targets of the CFC, while NC. had already started to settle in the Querious region in the south west and not to far from the Nulli Feythabolis POS’s that were lost. As both Nulli and NC. are part of the N3 Coalition, why did NC. not try and defend these CSAA’s which were just one region away from their deployment area?
Was it a miscommunication between the two alliances? Did Nulli forget to mention the POS timers to the NC. alliance so they weren’t even aware that it was happening? Does this show that something deeper is going on in the N3 coalition?
We managed to speak to LadyScarlet, head diplomat of Northern Coalition. and she had this to say:
“I don’t care about S2N capital ship assembly arrays, which I know nothing about. This is the first I am hearing about them and that is probably why they are dead, you would have to talk to Nulli Secunda about this.”
EN24 got got in contact with Gonnaeatit, director of Infinite Point and one of the main diplomatic contacts for Nulli Secunda;
“S2N have no comment to give on the matter. I can only confirm that nothing was in build at the time.”
