On the 22nd May 00:58 game time in the system of Erila of The Citadel region a Revenant belonging to Project.Mayhem.‘s Damien Shroud was destroyed on what turned out to be a well set up trap by Test Alliance Please Ignore.
Killing many Capitals previously in the system Project.Mayhem. regularly dropped on unsuspecting Capitals in Erila. Today they thought would be no different. Test Alliance Please Ignore had observed Project.Mayhams. antics in the area for some time and decided to see if they could bait a few Capitals out. They formed a 50 man Mixed fleet of Super Carriers, Dreadnoughts, Force Auxiliarys and a Squadron of Heavy Interdiction Cruisers. With the fleet ready to jump and Interdiction Cruisers sitting on a Titan, Test Alliance was ready to spring the trap. A cyno cheetah was sent to Erila and after a few hours of getting attention it cynoed in a single Naglfar. The Naglfar was fit with a Cynosural Field ready to light the beacon for the rest of the Test Alliance Fleet to follow.
Project.Mayham. appeared not to take the bait with the Naglfar taking extra time to attempt to extract from the area. As Test was about to call it off a Project.Mayham. Cheetah decloaked and tackled the Naglfar. With that it lit a Cyno and in came 3 Black Ops Battleships. Hoping for more of a prize Test Alliance decided to hold off on bringing in any reinforcements and let the Battleships tear into the Dreadnought. Battleship sized weapons Pounded the Naglfar and as it went into half armour something happened nobody expected. In came a Phoenix, Archon and a Revenant, The Faction Class-Mothership that only few have owned. As it jumped in the Revenant bounced off its comrade in the Phoenix and was propelled upwards. Test Alliance wasted no time in springing the trap. The Naglfar lit the cyno and in came the reinforcements. As they did the Project.Mayham. force tried to withdraw. The blackops battleships managed to get out safely but Heavy Interdiction Cruisers held the Phoenix and Archon down. The Revenant quickly cloaked as it was bumped in the hope it would be able to slowboat to safety unnoticed. In came Tests capital fleet. Motherships, Dreadnoughts and Carriers pummeled the tackled Capitals while Heavy Interdiction Cruisers attempted to De-Cloak the Faction Super Carrier. Project.Mayham. desperately tried to fight back and managed to take down the bait Naglfar. Salvo after Salvo landed on the shields of the Projects Capitals and they simply dissintegrated under the immense firepower.
With no support left on grid the Revenant was praying he would get away lucky. As expected though the Test Heavy Interdiction Cruisers burned straight onto him managing the decloak. Disruption Fields landed and the Revenant could do nothing to escape. His overview turned yellow and quickly to red as the entire Capital fleet fired upon him. With the new refitting changes the Revenant was unable to switch from his Gank Fit back to Tank and simply crumbled.
The field fell quiet… Test Alliance Please Ignore quickly looted the field and within seconds the fleet extracted almost as quickly as it came.
