After many weeks of fighting, retreating time and time again before a wave of invaders from the Southern Coalition, 9-F0B2 has been lost to Atlas Alliance along with the station Comitia Centuriata. Fidelas Constans alliance and Sentinels Reprieve has pulled back to Amarr space for the time being while we plan our next strategy to keep fighting the southern coalition and the enemies of NRDS Providence.Providence has been put into a loose lock down during the peak activity times of the S.C.. while members of the SC begin taking all the systems they need for a jump bridge network connecting SC alliances to empire space through providence to supplement their supply lines. During all this time CVA lead defense forces are avoiding large scale conflict with the enemy.
Following the capture d-g providence defence forces were unsuccessfull in preventing the capture of market hub 9-uy, as well as all exit systems from providence with the lone exception of kbp-7 where providence defence forces and the -7- Navy were successful in preventing the systems capture.
According to reports from the Interstellar Correspondents Karn Mithralia of U'K stated after the seige that while other systems were taken with minimal resistance from providence defense forces, in 9-f “ATLAS moved on it with their allies, mostly with input for UK, AAA and SYS-K... I believe it finally fell... Fidelas Constans [FCON] put up a very stalwart defence supported by CVA. They deserve a warrior’s respect for the way they fought against overwhelming odds.”
While the CVA and their leader Aralis believes that a Fabian type, attrition style defense could tire the enemy before they take all of providence, I do not believe this is the case. CVA leadership is obviously burying their heads in the proverbial sand. Given the resources of the SC and their motivations it is unlikely that they will stop till they have accomplished their goals, namely accessing supplemental connections and supply routes between their core systems and empire space, as well as removing what they have come to see as an existential threat on their borders.
FCon on the other hand is now liberated. Free from our obligations of sov, we can focus like a laser on our enemy, without restraint and without hesitation.
"To those who have made it their mission to destroy NRDS Providence, and Holders, we will never forgive, and never forget."
-Lupus Aurelius, FCon Senior Consul
