Auxo/Bundschuh/Platform vs LSF & Liberty Navy

Overview:

Date: 18:00 UTC - Saturday, August 31st

Location: Vespucci

· Technocracy of Auxo
· Liberty Security Force
· Liberty Navy
· Bundschuh/The Platform

Premise:

(This event is following a series of diplomatic talks over the last few months, which have taken place both in-game and here on the forums. There will be several parts to this, taking place in other areas to stir up some activity in various regions)

In an effort to both strengthen their diplomatic foothold within Rheinland, and bolster their own forces with rising tensions on the home front, The Technocracy and The Platform launch a joint operation to relocate two assets from the Independent Worlds into the Omegas, utilizing the corridor in Omega-55. The size of the vessels is likely to draw attention, and rightly so - the sensor network left over to watch traffic in the area is tripped, and a response is inbound to intercept.

The Platform and Auxo scramble escort ships to dissuade pursuit. The Elbe and Osiris take cover in the Guerrero Asteroid Cloud. Should the escorts fail, information about the operation is spread regionally, and their movement will be delayed.

Participants:

Indies are welcome to sign up. Other regional factions can also reach out if they'd like to get involved. This is iirc my first event post, so feedback is appreciated. Depending on interest I'd be happy to up the number of people involved.

Rheinland, Hamburg
Escort Event

OVERVIEW

With the bulk of New Berlin's garrison in disarray following a daring raid by The Wild, Hamburg's vast expanses were left opened for the Unioners to exploit. Amongst these Unioners lay, until now, a dormant cell of Thralls -- 'brainwashed' individuals working for a Greater Goal and operating under the thumb of an Infiltrator, Hodur. Intending to make full use of the mess they'd created in New Berlin, Hodur sets in motion a larger plan to put commerce between Rheinland and Liberty to sword, but also to start the gears towards an eventual false flag attack by covert Thralls.

On the other side, in Cologne, Krefeld is abuzz with activity; patrols coming in to refuel, others moving out. Moored, at the station, is a Ragnar-class transport, piloted by one such notable Thrall: Hugo Straussler. Under the pretext of establishing a listening post in the Kielfield to acquire valuable data for the Unioner raiders, he readies himself and his crew to make way for Hamburg with the transport to put the foundation for this station.

However, The Wild also has to gain from such a mission -- should the transport deliver the goods to the particle cloud within the Kielfeld and assemble the platform for this installation, the Unioners and their 'masters' shall gaze towards Liberty, towards Hudson, for their next moves.

Dates:

24th August, 1730 UTC Server Time.

Details:

A Unioner freighter will head out, from Krefeld Base, to Erkling's Lair in Hamburg at 1730 hours; should it arrive successfully and hold out for a total of 10 minutes, the mission will be counted as a success;
Due to the nature of the mission, Unioner escorts -- of up to gunboat class -- will use masked transponders. This allows for Rheinland Wild Unioners and Civilians to join the fray.
The Rheinland Police, Military and Intelligence patrols will acquire a sensor reading on the convoy as they make way into Hamburg; that will their chance to strike, but due to Hamburg's vastness, they will get one chance only.

Rules:

For the Wild/Unioner side: Rheinland Wild IDed ships of Unioner or Civilian origin may freely join in, but only and only if they mount human gear exclusively. Do everything possible to save the freighter -- there is but one chance;
For the Lawful side: Gather at Alster or at Planet Hamburg. Once the convoy is in Hamburg, a message will be sent announcing its arrival and thus give you the ability to begin interception;
The large grouping of ships with masked IFFs won't be missed by neither The Order, nor by the Bundschuh; Pilots that participate in the event may acquire scan data on the freighter. This will come into play at a later date.

This event is the second in a chain of player-decided events around Rheinland Wild and its moves around the region. Join the Wild Discord server if you want to make your very own vote count in this story.

Rheinland, New Berlin
Combat Event

OVERVIEW

The Buro's strike on Valhalla Shipyard opened Pandora's Box. Omega-58's anomalies, now realigned, have released unimaginable horrors beyond comprehension, with The Wild Hunt having great success in the Omicron Theta system, going as far as forcing The Order into deploying its own assets in the region, and near Omegas, where a bloody conflict has begun between Hessian patrols and supply ships and The Wild Hunt's raiders. Now, however, came the time to strike at Rheinland's heart itself with before-unmatched power and strength.

Chancellor Niemann may indeed be long gone, but his memory and deeds live on and are proudly carried by the Northern Fleet remnants. There shall yet be salvation for Rheinland...

Dates:

11th August, 1700 UTC Server Time.

Details:

The Wild Hunt will launch a fighter-led probing attack into New Berlin from the Dresden direction. Should it be successful, a second one will contain much more (and greater) forces.
Lawfuls, or unlawfuls, must stop them. It is up to the factions present to balance out the odds... or not, leading to either gaining the upper hand.

Rules:

Have fun. If this goes well, I'll expand it further.

This event is meant to be part of a series leading up to a greater presence of The Wild in Rheinland and coincides with the reactivation of new vessels at Kaarst Shipyard. Raids will be posted over this channel with several days notice, with exception being this first one.

With the Jump Gate supplies staged on Erie, the next phase of the YBR operation is slowly coming into play. Due to DSE assets previously focused on the Ontario system and various internal projects, only infrequent caretaker flights have actually passed through Kansas. With Ontario definitively out of commission for further salvaging efforts and the new aura of secrecy about the gate restoration there, internal money-making efforts have moved in a previously unthinkable direction. Decried by shareholders as a "wild rogue chase", the reclamation of resources left behind by the war with the Insurgency is now becoming a more attractive investment opportunity.

In tandem with ongoing efforts to relocate the Bering gate construction site, a new survey operation has been developed to reassess the nature of the Kansas system. While caretaker vessels have confirmed that both the Kansas and Vespucci jump holes are stable, their inability to deviate from a defined path has severely limited additional mapping efforts. With the vagaries of Sirian gravitometric paths and the general lack of hard data about the war, previously employed charts of the system are next to useless for future construction plans.

Never afraid of making use of local interest, DSE shareholders have voted to expand the contract to certain non-Libertonian elements who may have an interest in providing survey data. Security contracts and insurance premiums have already taken a toll on allocated budget numbers, as possible hostile elements within Kansas are yet to be definitively outlined. George Rolf has made an internal announcement to all DSE employees that "We ain't going in there blind, and turning on the lights will cost us time and money. I expect that all employees continue in their duties, while makin' use of the available contracts to get this thing done before we start buildin' the gate. It's time we fully mapped this quadlin' country."

Operation Ostfront
New Berlin
Convoy heist

Hessians | Coalition || Rheinland Military | Rheinland Police | MND | Imperial Shipping || Wild(*)

Context:

Following the recent joint project between the Hessian Front and SCRA, efforts are now underway to secure the necessary materials for its development. To this end, collaborators from Bonn Station have provided detailed information on shipments leaving The Ring for Alster Shipyard. The Hessians now try to launch multiple raiding parties and intercept some of these convoys in order to redirect the transports and their contents to Vogtland.

Dates:

1st operation: Sunday, 28 July , 18:00 server time
2nd operation: Sunday, 04 August , 18:00 server time

Details:

Execution:
» The Convoy and its escorts will take the lanes from Planet New Berlin to the Hamburg Jump Gate.
» The Hessian Raid party will intercept and cut the lanes to the gate halfway there, at which point the transports will transmit a system wide mayday.
» A Military patrol wing is dispatched from Battleship Bayern to assist the convoy, which will be intercepted on their way there by a second group of Hessian ambushers.
» The Transports are FORBIDDEN to shoot or be shot at. They will follow and obey whichever party is in charge of them.

Outcomes:
» If all the hessian raiders are put out of action, the transports are going to continue their route and dock to Alster in lawful victory.
» If all the escorts are put out of action, the transports will follow the remaining raiders en-route to Vogtland. If they reach destination it will be considered a Hessian victory.
» Once a side at the Intercept point is destroyed, either the military reinforcements or Hessian ambushers are going to join the Lane Cut fight or intercept the other party's transports to their destination.

New York System, Liberty Space, 834 A.S.

Militants + Allies
VS
Liberty Navy + Allies

Overview

Event Date: Sunday, 30th of June, 18:00 server time
Location: New York System, Sectors A4:C4
Event Type: Combat Event, Player Versus Player

Participating factions:

REDFOR
- Zoner Militants
- Insurgency Remnants
- Technocracy
BLUFOR
- Liberty Navy
- Liberty Police
- Liberty Security Force
- Ageira Innovations

Situation

After long weeks of surveillance and intelligence gathering by undercover agents, the Zoner Militants under the Pennsylvania Liberation Front's flag orchestrate a bold assault on the prestigious Detroit Munitions headquarters. The station holds in its warehouse an enormous quantity of state-of-the-art light and medium arms, which the resistance is keen on acquiring by forceful means. Exploiting a gap in patrol routes, the battle group managed to sneak close enough for a surprise attack.

COUNTERPOINT, the Front's supreme command group, dispatched several Q-ships, gunboats and an assortment of fast movers to complete the mission. There are two attack groups: BEAR, comprising of a heavy assault group led by cruisers, will breach the warehouse's wall and force cargo ejection. The other group, WOLVERINE, is an interceptor group tasked with keeping Liberty's reinforcements from reaching Detroit Munitions. Another logistics squadron, BEAVER, consists of Whale transports equipped with powerful tractor beams. They're behind the assault force and in a safe distance.

Detroit Munitions Headquarters sounded the alarm after detecting several unknown large ships approaching from a unexpected vector. The Navy responded by sending flight wings led by cruisers towards the station's perimeter in case of an attack.

Area of Operations

AO1 "HQ": BEAR vs Perimeter Control
AO2 "Lanes": WOLVERINE vs Manhattan Defense Squadron

BEAR begins 10k South of Detroit Munitions.
Navy's Perimeter Control begins 10k North of Detroit Munitions.

WOLVERINE begins inside the Detroit Debris field, near the lanes.
Navy's Defense Squadron begins outside planet Manhattan.

Execution

There will be two concurrent clashes. One at Detroit Munitions, another at the lane between Manhattan and Detroit Munitions.

In Area of Operations 1 (HQ), A team must destroy the opposing team completely. The victorious team must then stand their ground and wait for the conclusion of the other clash.

In Area of Operations 2 (Lane), A team must destroy the opposing team completely. The victorious team must then join their side at Detroit Munitions Headquarters, and help destroy the remaining enemies.

Teams assigned to Area of Operations 1 are not allowed to break from their AO to help the team at the other AO.

The event ends after a side is completely destroyed.

Rules and Regulations

Obey the directives and objectives in EXECUTION.
No Cloaking.
No Restocking, includes using docking modules.
No team stacking. Help everyone have a fair and fun event by accounting for individual player skill, if possible.
Don't stall the event.

clavus clavo pellitur
combat community event
california system

overview

start date: June 14
start time: 18:30 UTC

type: combat, group fight, snubs only
status: concluded

sides: Task Force Prometheus, Liberty Navy
location: California system, E3

background

With a project to restore some of its former military power well underway, Task Force Prometheus would sooner or later have to strike at the Liberty forces to obtain the data they needed.
While some operations take a more subtle approach, the usual lethal force raid remains one of the most effective and fastest ways to get what you need.

With this in mind, Task Force Prometheus mounts a daring attack on a Liberty convoy that transports vital equipment and parts for repairs and maintenance of their military craft at Ontario system.

It falls to the convoy's escorts and vigilant Navy pilots in the California system to thwart the offence of these seemingly new yet vaguely familiar enemies.

event scenario

I. "Bison" Class C5 Liberty Transport will carry full cargo of engine components (inrp "Defender" components) from New York system with three escort fighters. After getting halfway to Ontario jump gate from Planet Mojave, the convoy will be caught in an ambush.

II. TFP forces will have R1 "Draugr" Edge Worlds Freighter standing by. "Draugr" will open fire on the engines of the "Bison" and inrp disable it, rendering it helpless. "Draugr" will then fly to the stopped "Bison" transport and deploy military squad to seize the ship. Both freighter and transport will stay still near each other. They will NOT take part in the battle. Escort fighters will enter 3v3 fight with TFP fighters.

III. As soon as the Freighter comes near, the Transport will send an alarm signal to Liberty forces at Planet Los Angeles. At his point they are clear to proceed to the ambush site. At the same time, TFP forces at the Ontario jump hole will move in to reinforce their fellow legionnaires. As soon as both reinforcements arrive, they are clear to engage, making it a 6v6 fight.

IV. Liberty forces' task is to destroy all TFP fighters to be able to help their people aboard the "Bison".

V. TFP forces' task is to destroy all LN fighters to be able to safely escort captured "Bison" with the components to their turf.

epilogue

The victory was not easy.

What should have been a quick and decisive strike turned into a protracted battle. Liberty's forces fiercely resisted their attackers, causing the Prometheans to bleed with every step towards their goal, both in space and during boarding.

At certain moments, it almost seemed that success would slip through the fingers of the daring raiders, making them just another line in the report of the vigilant military. And yet they continued to advance, not allowing the formation to break. Ideals and causes clashed, leaving little room for words and doubts.

Ultimately, the surprise attack on the convoy was successful. Having won, the battered Prometheans wrote yet another page in their history. A celebration, rest and repairs awaited them at home.

However, such an attack will surely not go unnoticed. Liberty convoys heading to Ontario would undoubtedly receive larger escorts, making further attacks unlikely. And those who have provoked the wrath of House Liberty may soon discover that retribution will not be long in coming.

Registration

Registration is made in Cap PVP discord via ticket system. You must register before the closing of the standings, which occurs at the beginning of Round 1.
The ticket system was introduced because of 4 reasons:

To develop the Cap PVP community for better pvp experience and encouraging dueling culture.
It saves your time because an opponent can have his DMs blocked from non-friends.
There is a transparent scheduling process for an organizer so that any attempt of scam won't go unnoticed.
To save others from your tournament-related chat in #general.

You can find more on how to use the ticket system in the full rules of the Cruiser Tournament
For the purpose of seeding, we use the page on toornament.com (no need to register there)

Scheduling

For each Round both participants of the duel must choose a date and time convenient for them via ticket system. If participants can't come to an agreement, the match will be played at the Default Time, which is Saturday, 19:00 utc.

A Funeral For A Founder
Dublin
RP Event

Background

Ian Carew, the last surviving founding member of the Mollys who has been with us since the Founders Day Revolt, has died.

He passed peacefully in his sleep. His role in establishing Arranmore and his stories of the movement's early days will never be forgotten. Aged 101, he witnessed the end of BMM tyranny when the Crown's viceroys were expelled from Dublin, a dream that so many of his comrades did not live to see. And now he has gone to join them.

Today, we will gather to say goodbye to him. We will gather to mourn the last vestige of our origins. We will gather to honour the legacy of our Founders as a new chapter of Molly history begins.

Event Details

This is an open RP event, beginning near Arranmore at 19:00 UTC, 15th of June 2024.
All Mollys are invited to pay their respects, participate in the funeral procession, and celebrate the Founder's memory. Characters belonging to other factions may attend the funeral or attempt to interfere with it.
The event will end once the funeral ceremony is concluded or interrupted.

Credits to , and for the story.

Corsairs vs Red Hessians, Mollys & Coalition vs Bretonia

Overview:

Date: Sunday, June 2nd 2024 19:00 UTC

Location: Omega-5, Sector E5

· Corsairs
· Red Hessians/Mollys/Coalition
· Bretonia
· Battlezone

Notice

Premise:

Years passing by inevitably bring technological advancements. Several occurred in recent years, including the famous Crecy being retired in favor of the new Agincourt Destroyer. More importantly for the general Sirius public, the Hegemon got refitted to be far more suitable for combat. Test results yielded fantastic defensive as well as offensive capabilities, and the newly improved Hegemon came to market with high expectations. What remains is testing it in true combat against real opponents.

As all factions even slightly involved with mining rush to acquire and put the new Hegemon into action, the market is flooded. Having heard that the ship fields Battlecruiser-level firepower, a group of eager Corsairs has decided to try their hand in direct combat in the Hammen Hole. The Red Alliance, consisting of Red Hessians, Mollys, and the Coalition, has similar plans. They want to try and undermine what they consider a weak attack from the Corsairs, but not without testing a few Hegemons of their own. Bretonia, opportunistically looking to clear both sides out and have their fair share of Hegemon examination, joins the fray.

Participants:

Any ID with ZoI or engagement rights is welcome, though the main factions of the event are preferred. Regardless, players are encouraged to bring Hegemons.

Registered Participants

No registration needed. Rough balancing will be done on the spot. This is meant to be a fun introduction event to test the Hegemon's pvp capabilities, try not to take it too serious.

Regulations:

1. Standard PvP rules apply.

If you're killed, you're out. No returning to the battle again.

2. No running away from the active battlezone.

Once you leave the fight you're forbidden from rejoining. That includes resupplying. Stay 10k within the battlezone.

3. All loadouts allowed.

Everything is fair game.

4. No running to the NPC stations, asteroids or sundiving.

Events are made to be as fair as possible so do not leave the battlezone to hug asteroids or draw the fight into the sun intentionally.

Plan "Birdcage"

"Hijacking"-type Community Event
16th of June, 18:00 UTC

Sugarland Prison is never not in demand for new “employees”, and Liberty’s criminal syndicates are never shy to provide. While being the “luxurious” part of Liberty, California is never devoid of pirate activity, and the holding cells of Concord can only hold that many prisoners. Arranging a transfer via a convoy is a common practice for the LPI, but corruption runs deep in Liberty. An anonymous whistleblower was generous enough to provide the Liberty Rogues with a tip about one of the scheduled convoys, and those are never too shy to employ more cutthroats to their cause.

This time, their ambitions are aimed much higher - a batch of freshly released outlaws will simply not do. When the opportunity to hijack an entire Prison Liner presents itself, the Rogues can't afford to let it slide.

EVENT SCENARIO

Liberty Rogues will set up a blockade on a trade lane in 5E sector. Their task is to do the following:

Code:
1) A destroyer has to hit the deshielded transport with a Pulse turret. This will render the Liner stationary and non-combatant.

2) Rogues need to destroy the Liner’s shield - as in, a piece of equipment itself.

3) A destroyer needs to roleplay the boarding of the Liner and its takeover. The timer for the takeover is 15 minutes. While it is happening, the Destroyer’s shields have to be down and remain stationary near the Liner.

4) The remaining Rogues must defend both the Liner and the Destroyer. The takeover will be instant if all the Liberty Lawfuls are taken out of action.

5) Upon takeover, the Liner becomes a part of the Rogue force and has to be escorted to Buffalo Base.

Convoy will be transferring Prisoners from Battleship Concord to LPI Sugarland. Lawful Reinforcements will gather at Norfolk Shipyard. Lawful forces have to do the following:

Code:
1) Upon being intercepted, the Convoy will send out a system-wide distress signal. The Reinforcements will then be clear to proceed to the event zone.

2) Liberty Lawfuls have to repel the attackers. If successful, that grants them the win condition.

3) If the takeover of the Liner is complete, Liberty Lawfuls must destroy it in order to win.

EVENT RULES

- Standard engagement rules, no respawns, no restocking.
- Only Registered Participants may participate
- Permitted IDs: Liberty Rogues Indies and OFs, Liberty Navy Indies and OFs, LPI and LSF
- Only LPI ID can be a part of the Convoy
- Equipment bans: Gunboat Missiles, Cruiser Missiles, Hellfire Rocket Pods
- Sides will be regulated. If one side lacks the numbers, the other will be asked to reduce their own.
- Convoy Escorts are to be given a fair 2v2. The rest of the Rogues can focus on the Liner’s shield. Once the Lawful reinforcements arrive, it’s a Free For All.
- Rogue Destroyer and Police Liner remain NON-COMBATANT and MAY NOT BE ENGAGED DURING the takeover. The former may only be engaged when all Liberty Rogues are eliminated from the event or once the takeover is complete.

Dublin
Combat Event

Background

Due to increased Corsair raids in the Dublin system the Molly Republic Chancellor had no other choice but to ask the Coalition to provide heavy support in the region. The Coalition High Command heeded the call of their Bretonian comrades and deployed a strike group of CIS|Wolfsgift which later relocated to the Foyle Shipyard. In response, the Corsairs stationed their warships - Martillo del Sur and Noche Eterna in Dublin, in order to prevent any attempts of breaking the blockade.

Corsairs will start near Battecruiser Santander.

Hokkaido - Tohoku
Escort/Combat Event

OVERVIEW

With The Wild making moves across Sirius ahead of a major push from Omega-58, it was only a matter of time before the Hanta Iseijin -- the covert wing of the Kusari Wild -- put plans into motion that would see the Hakodate and infected KOI assets prepare to take their spot in the headlight just as much as the Rheinland Wild. Grandiose plans after grandiose plans, the Iseijin as a whole move forth to see new directives being carried out to their distant vessel in the Omicrons -- the Hakodate, pinnacle of Kusari power yet, in a twist of events, also of Wild infiltration.

The Blood Dragons, though initially caught by surprise by this series of develeopments, could find respite in the fact that, after the recent loss of Wakkanai in Hokkaido, there would be no warning post to alert the convoy of their raid. Nevertheless, with a beating heart and a number of their Order allies rushed as a supportive element, they would have to be both patient and well-informed, as choosing the wrong area to launch their ambush in could prove costly, if not fatal for their future plans in Tohooku.

Dates:

4th May, 1900 UTC Server Time.

Details:

KNF and KOI will escort the IKN Ibaraki from New Tokyo Gate, Hokkaido, to Tekagi's Fortress, Tohoku;
Blood Dragons, with the help of a hastily-assembled Order support team, will attempt to destroy the escorts of the IKN Ibaraki and put a temporary halt to Aoi Iseijin's plans in the Omicrons.

Rules:

If you're killed, you're out. No returning to the battle again;
No running away from the active battlezone;
All loadouts allowed;
Register your ship name to participate;
The Blood Dragon Cruiser Signup has total control over their side; it will be up to them to decide the success or failure of the anti-Wild operation.
