'Lo All
I'm not sure of how much interest this is to you all - but it should give people something to read and try and explain what we rabbit on about when we start talking about the south the north etc.
Firstly it seems Wildly Inappropriate Alliance hav evacced the entire of their space in Geminate and are now choosing to base themselves from Low Sec.
For those of you wondering what the hell this means - a quick breakdown would be
WI are long term allies of an entity known colloquially as NC (Northern Coalition) a coalition of alliances that at times includes Mostly Harmless, Morsus Mihi, Razor, Majesta Empire. The NC are traditionally allies of Goonswarm and have at times fought with and against Pandemic Legion (one of the biggest capital fleet fights of recent months was between PL and NC entities). The NC expands and contracts as needed. In times of peace they may have strategic alliances (i.e. we're not blue but we won't attack your space, we'll roam for shits n giggles pvp) but under times of attack they all form up a bit like nato to defend each other's space.
At present there is a fairly big push on "NC" space by multiple coalitions looking to either take control of valuable mining moons or settle scores of various natures. This has resulted in NC being forced to defend on their territory on three fronts.
Atlas, Cow and Gentlemens Club have assaulted Geminate.
Triumvirate, Initiative, Circle of Two, ROL and evoke have assaulted the Pure Blind region and have been more or less halted in a sov grind there at present.
Drone Region Russians (SOL?) are assaulting the northern end of NC space but I'm hazy as to where they're hitting and how much success they're having.
The key to attacking the North successfully is to remove the alliances on a one by one basis. They are capable of forming up large numbers of pilots and can win by weight of numbers alone when they're stirred up. They're also capable as an entity of fighting under one Commander and can are adept at grinding enemies down and retaking their space.
With the North distracted by Tri and co in Pure Blind Atlas have managed to isolate WI and have pretty much demolished them through weight of numbers and current game mechanics which have at time proven unhelpful to defenders. This means WI have evacced and are replacing assets, whether they return to the North to help other embattled NC entities is unknown at present. There were some unflattering things said about WI on various forums by other NC pilots which cannot have gone down well.
With the majority of WI space more or less conquered Atlas have moved beyond the Geminate region and are now assaulting Majesta Empire towers in Vale of Silent Region. For NC it's probably now a decision to hold PB and try and grind down the will to fight of TRI and co and to try and reverse our success in taking various moons around the region. The hope will be that they can crush our attack in Pure Blind then retake/repair the damage done to Majesta Empire space that Atlas have caused whilst the NC have focussed on us.
Perhaps most interesting in this is that with PL now reportedly returning to their roots (small gang combat, "elite" pvpers not engaging blobs etc) in low sec/ 0.0 piracy and the NC distracted by various entities in the North the path might now be clear for -a- and the IT alliance to pay visit to goonswarm once again. With neither of their allies in a position to offer significant support Molle may finally get some revenge for the disbanding of bob by a goon spy 8 months ago and one of the bitterest conflicts in Eve might finally come to some form of conclusion.
