CO2 had a serious hate-boner going on for us, and we were skeptical about the trustworthiness of TEST, who had abandoned us in the very region we were moving to 2 years earlier. We had a rough relationship with Legacy to begin with. In reality we had decided to moved down South, with TEST and CO2 as members of Legacy Coalition. On February 10th a Move OP was announced with no destination. With PL still nearby and constantly harassing us though, this was short lived. We took Cloud Ring with ease, and holed up in the system of 9-4RP2, with one of the best ratting pocket systems in Eve, XZH-4X next door. The writing was on the wall though, and we needed to get away from PL, so on January 13th 2017, the invasion of Cloud Ring was announced. We failed to destroy the first one, but during the OP for the second one we managed to hold back the entirety of PL's supercapital/titan forces while a few HAW dreads destroyed the structure. They anchored an astrahus in our staging system, which we successfully destroyed. Our resident Rooks and Kings member, Neutral Shock, also planned and successfully executed a Pipebomb on a 120 man Pandemic Horde hurricane fleet during this time period.Įventually, Pandemic Legion (and especially Doomchinchilla) decided to start a proxy war against Brave because of an old grudge Doom had with Cagali. We developed our Capital force, and things began looking up as time went on. So we created an "armada system." Basically every day all ratting and mining would be confined to one system, in an attempt to keep our ADMs up and allow for easy defense. Our location meant that while there was no shortage of fleets to fight, money making was incredibly difficult. Our staging at the time was DO6H-Q (which we lovingly called DOG-HQ). We owned a single constellation and lived in the middle of a super-highway surrounded by neutrals. On August 17th, the call was sent out that we were moving to Fade, which our friends Beyond Frontier had taken control of during WWB and handed over to the rest the alliance.įade was a time of heavy PvP. We led a final stand against the Fortizar in early August, which led to our over-100-man tempest fleet getting absolutely massacred, and morale plunged. This action sort of marked the beginning of the end of our time in Querious, as an increased enemy capital presence effectively shut down our ability to make money. (At the time my stupid newbro self made a panicked post on the forums about it here: ). We also had an incredibly good ratting pocket (U-H), and for the most part life was good.Īround early-mid July, an alliance known as Broski North (the complete and utter definition of cancer) anchored a Fortizar in nearby 9CG under the name _PL/NC Staging Area_. We were among the leading members of the Querious Fight Club, a newer coalition whose goal was to remain neutral to eachother but come together and defend eachother when needed. Our staging structure was a little astrahus until we finally placed our first Fortizar without issue. We were based out of the system of I1Y-IU, and at the time we had just under a dozen systems under our control. When I joined Brave in March of 2016 we had recently moved to Querious.
