Against All Authorities hit all Atlas Alliance station in the last couple days, following the Atlas standings announcement, in which they set AAA neutral. One of those system is KA6D-K (Catch), part of the jump route Atlas had to empire.

Pandemic Legion scouts spotted AAA fleet with super carriers, counting about 150 which reinforced the station and gathered at small staging tower. Knowing the password, The Initiative. and PL joined together for this operation and started to bump out AAA super capitals, and brought 7 titans and 25 super carriers on their own. AAA logged and the race against time started. AAA were at first very happy to see INIT came on field, until they realised The Initiative. is coming to kill them too.

The AAA support fleet hasn´t from unknown reason engaged and left their tackled super carriers die outside the tower. The numbers of the short lived team were around 300, whilst AAA had 150.

Around the battle a R.A.G.E. assault frigate gang warped right into the fight, without any standigns to anyone, and suicided themselves.

The Init. and PL were joined by Circle of Two gang, and together they killed 3 super carriers:

Jhon holmes – Aeon – KM and fittings
Digiblast – Nyx – KM and fittings
GonivoUA – Nyx – KM and fittings

Lag was reported as very heavy, but despite the system was not reinforced by CCP, moving around and targeting worked without trouble. Just guns cycling dind´t as well as fighter bombers, which resulted in lack of DPS to kill all AAA super capitals.

Shadoo (Pandemic Legion) battlereport:

Well, we formed up noticing INIT was gathering stuff in a system within range of us and started tracking their subcap movements with out cynos. They turned back after they identified our cyno char, so we dropped on the otherside of a low sec gate as they were in warp and pew-pew:ed the early decloakers before their reps started to hold and they reapproached the gate. I think we killed 3-4 dudes or something, others jumped out and warped on other side.

After this I heard -A- was in KA6 shooting outpost with subcaps, shortly cynoing in supers… So quick convo to some init dudes to see if they were up for br0s — and they were… so in we went. Ofc, right as we were ready — the station was RFed and SCs warped off… so we were all . But we found them @ a small tower — with a pwd that was known, so we went all .

PL bridged in @ tower, bubbled, started bumping digiblast and as he flew off the tower and INIT br0ski’s arrived — we logged on supers and brought them in.

Lag at this point as expected went nuts, thou 400 on an unreinforced node was SUPRISINGLY good. Manual cycling worked, all mods worked. Unfortunately — Fighter Bombers did not . As such we had hard time putting enough DPS down and naturally at this stage all -A- SCs had logged off.

We killed 3 OKish, 4th one I had to call a nyx on the wrong side of the POS as rest had made it back in — so it was taking less dmg than others. CO2 had at this stage said also “hey, br0ski?” and demonic was all “yeah, br0!” so their caps and supers came in too. But they brought their support in BEFORE supers… so now @ 450+ unreinforced node their titans never loaded until after all SCs had logged…

Ah well, didn’t expect to kill any and for those asking why didn’t everyone just go on their own — the answer is simple. We were all here anyway, looking at the same targets. So we either could shoot the same dude, OR shoot everyone, which while fun — would have meant no supers would have died. So we took the decision to kill supers this time and leave shooting each others until later v0v.

Sister Bliss (The Initiative.) battlereport:

Yeah we (INIT.) had a fleet up and were on our way to have some fun and get a fight with -A- and En Garde when we were spotted by PL and had a small skirmish losing a few ships. We extracted and waited for PL to bugger off and also for -A- to get into KA6 before we made a move in to engage on Stn.

We ended up taking subcaps since we now expected PL to show as well, and with all 3 sides sporting SC’s it might have stung a little, especially not knowing whether PL would side with -A-. Instead we got a convo from PL and temp-napped for the op and we both started reforming supercaps. By this time our SC’s had already reshipped to BS and had portalled forward to Doril >.< but we scrounged the few that were left.

After all the fucking around, -A- had already put the Stn into 2nd timer and had warped their supercaps to a small undefended En Garde POS. Thankfully we had the POS password which we passed to PL and both of us went to cyno in at same time. Our cyno got popped and we had to wait for the backup to come out of ewarp before our fleet could get into system and onto the tower. By this time stuff was being bumped out nicely by PL already and we started killing what we could. Our SC alts who had not already reshipped came in on backup cyno as well. Wasn't really much a fight but was good to get a handful of kills.

Co2 arrived as well but we weren't really sure what was going on with them, we shot at them also, and some suicide RAGE gang which warped in at point blank range in AF's or something.

For what it's worth, we have been neutral to -A- for a while, and relations have been going dowhill for some time. Despite a number of issues and incidents, I wouldn't say there isn't any *hate* from our side towards -A-, but I guess the perspective from -A- might be somewhat more hostile to us now. At the end of the day it's just a game, so ease off on the hate pls

Ps. Props to the PL guys for getting some nice bumps.

Styscout (CO2):

All partys were neuts or at worst red so my GK Inc braiwashing kicked in and i convinced HC to whore some mails.

We dont have any agreements about killing ships with anyone and we were in position with a cyno cause we thought we might be able to drop En Garde when they went to RF an Atlas Station.

Jordan Musgrat (AAA):

I wasn’t there, but I’m guessing the reason our guys started cheering or whatever (lawl) when you guys came in was that the average grunt actually likes init pretty much, this is actually somewhat surprising to me that relationships are apparently bad between us. So did all our FCs, you guys were a very competent bunch and were fun to do joint ops with, but :leadership not knowingwhaddafuck’sgoingon: and all, they didn’t really care for you guys. whatever, all in the past now.

In any case, well done to PL, dead SCs is what you get when you only have 9, and don’t do anything with the 100+ support you do have. Not sure what else could have happened.

Sith8 (AAA):

I call ourselves lucky to get off with 3 SC dead.
Series of fuckups and general sloppiness was just askin for something like this to happen.
Good show PL.
