Amarr

By September 3rd at 5:00 EVE Time and following a disastrous weekend for the Amarr, nine Amarrian systems had been flipped by the combined efforts of Gallente farmers and Minmatar…

The Post-”Burn Huola” warzone has been largely inactive and crusaders would often complain that the only fights they received came from local pirate groups and other neutral entities rather than…

This summer has seen numerous tremors in the Amarr militia. Personalities have left, new forces have entered, and now a major alliance is closing a chapter on its time in the Amarr-Minmatar warzone. The WINMATAR. alliance, largely led by the Biohazard. [-BIO-] corporation, has drawn ire as well as respect all across the warzone.

Curatores Veritatis Alliance (CVA) has officially entered the Amarr-Minmatar Factional Warfare zone. A long-standing 0.0 institution, CVA actually has roots in the Amarr militia and their return is a welcome…

Reinforced POSes dot moons across the system of Huola. The once-busy system has largely returned to its pre-campaign state, dominated by Minmatar with a smattering of Amarrian soloists and crusader die-hards. The “Burn Huola” campaign seems to have fizzled out, into a lengthening list of failed attempts of seizing the system.

Even as the battles rage on across New Eden, there are certain moments upon which all pilots can take a moment to find a measure of sorrow. One of those moments is when a well-known pilot decides to leave EVE. Even after all of the smack talk and propaganda built up over the years, the departure of a legendary ally to some and a hated enemy to others is nonetheless a historical occasion. On July 21, 2014, Flyinghotpocket of Team Amarrica’s Amarrian Vengeance [AVNG] revealed that he would be leaving EVE Online.

The weekend has seen Amarrian spirits waning as the Minmatar, supported by various opportunistic pirates and Gallente pilots far from home, easily repelled plexing fleet after plexing fleet. There were rumors among Amarrian militia of pulling out of Huola, a sentiment seemingly shared by the vast majority of Minmatar pilots and Huola residents in the local channel, taunting their crusader counterparts on the low contested percentage or the system’s stability.

The Huola Campaign is a broad, unwieldy creature that ebbs and flows like the tide. Depending on the time zone, one side has an advantage over the other side, with too many fights occurring that can be recorded or captured on video. In discussing the campaign at a macro level, pilots fighting in the trenches and the public at large sometimes fail to catch true jewels of the conflict, swept as they are into an endless sea of blood, tears, and sweat. One such jewel is a cruiser battle that commenced at 00:50 EVE Time on July 10, in a medium complex that has long since de-spawned.

At 20:00 hours on July 6, Aslon Seridith of WINMATAR. Biohazard addressed the entirety of WINMATAR at an alliance meeting. The topics of the address were typical: determining individual corporation goals, strengthening activity levels, and general housekeeping. However, one topic of discussion immediately received everyone’s attention: Burn Huola.
