The second nullsec Keepstar to ever be anchored came online at 20:00 EVE time entirely uncontested.
The Keepstar belongs to Pandemic Horde and was anchored in 7RM-N0, coming online less than a week after DARKNESS. anchored the first Keepstar in 209G-D.
MBC forces formed up and were ready to defend the Citadel should it come under attack, however, once again Imperium / CFC forces did not attempt an assault. Instead, they were pinging for Strategic Mining Fleets, in order to reinforce their ADMs:
Standing Fleet is still going strong. Come and make isk while getting strat papsWe need more Procures and ventures mining.
Here we see two very distinct strategies for fortification forming. The Imperium is hard at work increasing their ADM’s to improve their foothold on the systems they have re-captured in Pure Blind, and the MBC are busy fortifying their positions using imposing Citadels. One provides a temporary defence and the other has to be removed by force.
This raises the question: if the Imperium continues to allow MBC forces to fortify their positions across occupied territory, are they potentially giving themselves a bigger mountain to climb to achieve their future strategic objectives?
