In rapid succession, faster than blasters fire, my mobile filled with calls to arms.
"Mein Fellow Amarricans!
The Minmatar Russian BotFarm (Communist PigDogs) are back in the warzone because the powers that be (the Amarr/Caldari LP Store goods on the market crashed to shit) and they are pushing for Dal and the surrounding area (Lantorn, Amabukkake, Vard, Auga, Etc)." -Xolve
Under the looming threat of losing the system that I helped fight for, I scrambled over to our staging station as soon as I could to defend what was claimed for Amarr. Making my way through Sisiede and into Dal, I could see just how true the pings were. Where once the gates were quiet, there were gatecamps to be dodged and intel to be passed along.
Finally entering Dal, I witnessed first hand the scale of the Minmatar offensive. Dal was more contested than I'd seen it since we had taken it over. Local itself was a battleground for the different colortags. Blue, purple, green, orange and tagless, all mixed up and jockeying for control of the system.
Over the weekend and the following week, our coalition mounted a valiant and bloody defense. Our FCs tirelessly leading their fleets into battle did a fantastic job keeping everyone on task.
Ultimately Dal was lost. Had we been able to maintain a massive presence at all hours, Dal would still be ours. This just means we have something to focus on in the coming months, and I look forward to helping take it back.
