Max Singularity
It's the morning after the biggest battle I have ever been apart of. Our corporation once again heeded the call for aid from our allies Electus Matari. I have been learning a lot from our friends, so when the ping came through, I welcomed it eagerly. This time it wasn't a military objective though, it was an opportunity to hit back at a very large and obnoxious thorn in the side of the cluster. That thorn would be none other than Snuffed Out. An announcement on Galnet was made by a famous capsuleer named Max Singularity, dubbed The Space Pope by the wider capsuleer community, stating that Snuffed Out was holding his structure to ransom. Located in the Basgerin system, it is a cul-de-sac low-security system and home to several Sixth Empire freeports that many use due to its central proximity in the cluster.

There were many factions flying different banners in the system last night, a few groups we even had set to red. All were as far as we knew, here to defend the structure. As the structure repair timer came online local spiked marking the arrival of the aggressors. To no one's surprise, they had brought capital ships and titans. Maybe expecting the defenders to field a larger fleet or as a show of force I don't know, but it was clear they were going to complete their objective. As much as I and many of our allies would have liked to see it survive, our goal in this fight was to take down as many Snuffed Out members and war targets as possible. Much like the fight before in Ardar, it still amazes me how the FCs like Captain Elkin manages to process all the information. In the end, we did manage to destroy a handful of ships only losing a few ourselves, but the outcome was what we expected.

Time will tell if Snuffed Out, riding on this high will attempt to attack more of the structures in the system. But it is my hope that more will come to lend aid to the defense of those than can not.

YC123.04.15 - A Month Gone By

//PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY  CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE  YC123.04.15 A whole month without an entry, wow? My biggest worry when I started this was that I would forget to take notes of my thoughts and feelings. I guess that was true? Is it possible that I am starting to lose touch with my own emotions like Charles mentioned all those months ago. Sure, I still get the shakes in combat, but they are not from panicking or worrying, they are from euphoria. That excitement of testing my skills against another. Like gladiators from the storybooks, striking at each other, blocking, parrying back and forth, vying for that killing blow. Maybe this is something all capsuleers experience, and maybe what leads them to that god complex I've seen? Regardless of that, a fair amount has happened lately which could have also contributed to the reason why. My work with the FIO in Eugales is still ongoing. I managed to sit down for our first meeting with Laura . I was accompanied by Jarlath ,...

YC122.10.29 - Crimson Harvest

  //PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE YC122.10.29   I have woken up to see reports flooding in via Galnet of Blood Raider fleets making their annual raids of high and lowsec space. It marks the start of what they call Crimson Harvest and it will be my first time actually seeing it. The older classmates at the University would tell scare stories of Amarrian cults that would capture you because you were a clone, believing that your blood was sacred to them. They would string you upside down and drain you like cattle and bath in your blood. They wouldn't kill you straight away no, you would be kept alive to ensure every last drop was squeezed out of you. You would suffer a very long and painful death until you were recloned. They would somethings finish the story with a crescendo of evil laughter, which seems cheesy now I think about it. But as bad as this was, they were some truths to it. Aura look up Blood Raiders. [NEOCOM LOOKUP – PIRATE ORGA...

YC122.10.27 - Silas Vitalia

 //PERSONAL LOG //ENTRY BY CLEMENTINE LAFLEUR //DATE YC122.10.27    Silas Vitalia It's the morning after my first OP with Nadire SecurityConsultants . I didn't know what to expect, but Edward (aka Mantel) our FC reassured me that it was going to be a straightforward exercise. We were to form up in Tanoo ready to attack an Astrahus class citadel owned by an individual named Silas Vitalia. I had been told she had upset quite a few people, enough to warrant the destruction of her base. Our CEO Charles said that we had been contracted to carry out the destruction of it and that as far as he knew, it was going to be just us. To our surprise members of various other corporations under the banner of Khimi Harar [CONCORD c/s – LUMEN ] had positioned themselves in the system. They were tagged as red on my overview by our corporation (for obvious reasons). But today, we were to release our collective arsenal at the common enemy.   Being fresh out of training and stil...
