but it was a call to arms of a sort. It was a call to everyone that ever wanted to have industry in the NSC. It was a call to all that wanted to learn about structure defense. It was a call to all that were starved of content at the NSC. Sometimes my magical pixie dust infused content generator goes haywire and this was a call to all those that wanted to have fun.
We formed up in PC9 after Greagan lead an uneventful travel fleet down from Stacmon.
This is what Shadow cartel wanted:
But instead with our massive force of punishers/retributions (who needs command Destoryers anyways) we denied them content and they sat at home and did nothing.

Well the timer expired on the Azbel, and E-UNI won themselves the structure, it has been transferred.
We decided to be the Defenders of the Grandprix runners! So we started to head towards the gate camps that cones have been using for bombing event runners. In 6E- We found the gate camp and I promptly did what I always do in combat and froze. Analiese did what Analiese does best and took over. With that said we managed to delete an Istar even while a carrier was dropped on us.
Ishtar +389.42m
We had a ton of people in fleet and so Analiese did something unexpected when a UNI fleet faces a cyno. We stayed and we fought. Why? because when you are in punishers you can do that, without losing too much isk:
Punisher -2.2m
Punisher -3.22m
Einherji I +2.83m
Einherji I +2.83m
Einherji I +2.83m
Einherji I +2.83m
At this point we started to feel confident, having lost 2 punishers for 4 flights of fighters seems like an ok trade. we were operating under the rules of if Yellow boxes warp away and come back.
Inquisitor -5.68m
Ferox +70.18m
The carrier pilot started to get support at this point and targets were changed to wipe out the Ferox. And more Punishers and Retributions died and some Capsules did too. But the carrier was quickly loosing fighters.
Capsule -0.01m
Punisher -8.24m
Punisher -8.85m
Einherji I +2.83m
Capsule -0.01m
Inquisitor -5.23m
Punisher -8.23m
Einherji I +2.83m
Capsule -0.01m
Retribution +66.08m
Einherji I +2.83m
Capsule -0.01m
Punisher -9.61m
More support came in to help out. and we promptly removed it from the field:
Brutix Navy Issue +340.59m
We were bleeding DPS heavily here and While we took out another fighter wing and had the carrier in half armor, it was obvious that we were not going to hold the field. but we did manage 3 more fighter wings down. keeping count? thats 10 fighter wings, this carrier had to be very low on fighters. At this point Cones did bring in anti frigate tackle support ships and they were going to start to chew through us:
Einherji I +2.83m
Inquisitor -3.93m
Griffin -3.22m
Punisher -9.6m
Confessor -86.28m
Enyo -45.03m
