A new week and a new entry. Holy crap what a week it has been as well, the alliance -A-C has fallen as fast a whores' knickers on pay day and -A- has been kicked from pillar to post. Our corporation is in disarray with members scattered all over New Eden after heavy fighting in GE-8JV and HED-GP.
The directors have made a decision to relocate they wont say where though which I guess is a good thing as you never know who will sell you out. Some of us are staying back in Y-JKJ8 to look after things there, but we are seeing a lot of enemy traffic now in small fast cloaking ships sometimes stealth bombers and the odd time a blockade runner. We have managed to stop a few of them but resources are now running low inside our POS, not sure how much longer we can hold on for reinforcements if they come at all. Been given a few offers to turn coats and fly the colours of the enemy alliances that are taking the region, but I have given my views on that. Would rather put a rocket up their collective arses and kick them out of our space.

Got a disturbing mail from my contact in Empire space. Her corp has been given a declaration of war, this means our projects have stopped. She has no fighting experience so I have told her to stay put in the station and take time out. I hope those bastards are not trying to get to me through her, if that's the case then it will be enough to bring me back to Empire to kick their arses. I ran some background checks on the enemy corp that is targeting her corp and the information shows they only hit soft targets and miners. Oxygen thieves the lot of them. But with the bad news comes some good which is always nice to read.

My contact has told me they have been invited to join an alliance which will give them access to high end technology and materials. They just got to smooth over the details of the partnership and sign contracts then its as good as done. With the troubles in nul sec for my corp and her troubles in Empire space I doubt I will be seeing her anytime soon.

Well the shit has hit the fan. White Noise, Pandemic Legion and Circle of Two have invaded our alliance space. So far HED-GP, GE-8JPV has been hit hard two of our main stations that sees a lot of trade and traffic has been besieged now for nearly a week. All systems between have seen heavy fighting, some of the alliances corps have fled the area and returning to Empire to save what they can. I say they are cowards living off the backs of -A-. Terra Hawks though have decided to stay till the end which means we will throw everything we can into the fight till the end, the only way they are ever going to get us out is via a crowbar.
The IT alliance hit HED-GP hard but then turned round and helped us last night in the CTA not sure what that was about to be honest. I would of wanted to smack them as well for doing what they did. But then that's why I am no diplomat. Been a long time since I seen a fleet assemble of that size to go and defend GE-8JVP station and system. Over 300 pilots turned up to lay down their lives and lives of their crews to liberate GE Collective. I lost two Hurricane's battlecruiser class warships, most of the crew hands made it out in escape pods but some got caught in neutron bomb blasts from the enemy. Their names will not be forgotten.

I have also noted that with some of the corps leaving -A-C space they are leaving large pockets of systems undefended and sometimes stations. Circle of Two are now moving into these systems and claiming them for their own including the station in FR-B1H. This can only mean more traffic through our home system and trouble for the coming weeks as they go on roams looking for easy kills. I say easy kills in truth they look for helpless miners and industrial ships to kill and pirate off. One group of cowards leave FR-B1H and another group of cowards move in. I swear there will be a reckoning once the fighting settles down in Catch.

My main concern is that I said this would happen two weeks ago at the last corp meeting and no one listened to me. Sometimes I wonder if this foresight of future events is a curse or a blessing, one thing worries me more than anything else. If GE falls the alliance will crumble, call it instinct or a gut feeling either way its how I see the station as a keystone to our operations. May the Elders watch over us all.

Woke to the news of one of our allied alliances crumbling to enemy fire in the north of Catch region. Atlas Alliance is no more. The standings were reset and now if the remnants of the old alliance shows up we have been cleared to shoot on sight. The Northern Coalition have started to push hard, the through fair in our own system is seeing more and more enemies passing through. Or those that do manage to escape from our wrath that is.

In light of all this the Initiative Mercenaries tried to take the system WD-VTV which sits next door to SV5-8N. This is too close for comfort, their little insurrection didn't last very long as a allied fleet gathered together and kicked them out. As for future events that may happen this may of been a diversion or a sign of things to come on how the North plans to fight this campaign. At the present my assumptions are just speculations as to what may happen. All I do know is that the system were we are is a viable target, although none of my corp mates feel the same way. They look at tactics a different way than me though, but the ancient art of warfare hasn't changed over the ages of humanity.

Well it looks like one of my investments in my contact is starting to pay off. She sent me a vid mail telling me of the Jaguar and Hound blueprints she has researched. And has asked me for permission to go ahead with the Vargur Project and the Loki Project. She is apparently going to fund the building of the ships which is nice to hear, and I will buy the fittings for them no doubt I will also have to find a competent crew also. Must say I am proud of the lass she has done well since I found her. I wonder if I can coax her to move out here with me, the company would be nice. Better than sitting in the bar with 20 or so blokes all stinking of pod goo drinking vodka all night like it is at the moment. Of course when she has completed the building of the ships I will have to visit and test fly them. Also gives me an excuse to see her as well.

The decision to take down the moon miners was made today in the last meeting we all had. I am worried about what the unions will do to us when the find out that we just layed off over 500 employees from our station admin and factory production lines. The others are more worried about profit margins and how much fuel its been a waste of. Bloody Caldari again looking at facts and figures not at the lives and people behind them. I just hope I can go and talk to some of the union heads and cool them down, maybe if I dip into my own personal funds and buy them all tickets back to Empire may go some way to helping their problems now in this unclear economic climate. Ha who would of thought it me a politician? After all the fighting I have seen, my past as a slave to the Ammar and mercenary work I have done. Maybe with age comes a certain wisdom or maybe I am getting soft in my old age. Was a time I would of let them off station in shuttles then blew them out of the sky. Saves the hassle of law suits latter on, my old co-pilot Martigan would be laughing at me now, by the Ancestors I miss him. Its been near on 5 years since he passed away of old age in Hek with his family. I guess that's the price of immortality as a capsuleer. We never grow old and can never die due to the clone technology. Makes me wonder if we also loose our own humanity with each death we experience, I still walk with my crew and make sure I know their names and faces. Its one way I can live with what I have become and know that each time we go out not only is our corp at risk but also the lives of My crew. Its My job to get them home safely, and if I don't its them who pay the ultimate price.
