BREAKING NEWS: Minmatar-Thukker Fleet Reappears in Yulai � Stargates Shut Down

Yulai � Eyewitnesses in the Yulai System are reporting that a mysterious Minmatar-Thukker armada "at least twice the size" of the one which threatened CONCORD Bureau Station earlier has reentered the system and is once again converging on the station as if preparing to attack. CONCORD has shut down all stargates leading into Yulai and has ordered a general fleet mobilization. This is a breaking news story that we will continue to update as information becomes available.

A follow up to the fleet that apprared a few weeks ago then disapeared ? o_O

Eyewitness reports from inside Yulai

Yulai - Reports are filtering in to various news networks from startled eyewitnesses on-scene, who are now seemingly trapped inside the system of Yulai.

"This is [censored] crazy," said Raimi Eschin, a Gallentean trader in a live transmission moments ago. "I just tried to leave the system and�nothing. Tried another gate and�they�re all [censored] offline. I headed back to dock, thinking it was a simple malfunction and�Minmatar ships, everywhere. I�ve never seen a fleet like that. I�ve no idea where to go or what is going on, I�m just glad we�re issued cloaking devices, I�m going safe." It is unclear at this time if any shots have been fired.

CONCORD BUREAU STATION UNDER ATTACK

Yulai � *** This is a breaking news story *** The Minmatar-Thukker armada has opened fire on CONCORD Bureau Station and on the Directive Enforcement Division ships defending it. The station is reportedly taking heavy damage from dozens of dreadnoughts as smaller escorts engage CONCORD warships directly. Eyewitnesses were reporting "massive" casualties on both sides before their transmissions were jammed at the source. This is a breaking news story that we will continue to update as more information becomes available.

It's about time. Concord had this comign for years.

Major CONCORD network outage reported; Yulai connections reopen

Yulai - It seems that CONCORD's cluster-wide data network is suffering a severe and unprecedented outage. In the last few minutes multiple core services have degraded or dropped offline across the EVE cluster. This appears to be linked to events in Yulai; communications with that system have been re-established, and independent pilots are reporting in again.

We have been unable to contact or identify any vessels known to have been in the vicinity of the station prior to the attack. Reports suggest that multiple smaller engagements have broken out across the system as panicked pilots turn on local law enforcement vessels. It appears that at this time CONCORD is not deploying additional vessels into the system
Oh dear oh dear oh dear. No Conrod. Shame :)
Scope data recorder salvaged, images recovered

Yulai - An independent pilot has located the wreck of The Scope's on-site media shuttle and recovered the data recorder from the wreckage. While the video feed seems to be corrupt, the camera logs are largely intact and we are streaming data from them now.

Images assembled from the data show the horrific battle unfolding with the CONCORD fleet massing on the Minmatar-Thukker invaders attempting to repulse their savage attack on the CONCORD Bureau station. Suddenly a huge cynosural field opens up in system and the view is filled by the enormous bulk of what can only be a Ragnarok-class Titan.

As the joint Minmatar forces began streaming towards Ragnarok, including lifepods from the capital-class vessels, CONCORD realigns their firepower and begins hammering at the Ragnaroks immesurable bulk. Moments later the area around the Titan flares with thousand of incandescent missiles spreading over the battlefield. The feed abruptly terminates at this point.
Yes, Minmatar just hotdropped a Titan onto ConCORD and DD'D them.
That's so much epic awesomewinsauce that I think SHC will explode :)

BREAKING NEWS: CONCORD BUREAU STATION DESTROYED � CONCORD DISABLED

Yulai � *** This is a breaking news story *** Scope News has confirmed that CONCORD Bureau Station in Yulai has been destroyed, and that all rapid-reaction defense capabilities of the police agency have been disabled. A general warning has been broadcast throughout Empire space that CONCORD will be unable to assist in the defense of any unprovoked attacks. This is a breaking news story that we will continue to update as more information becomes available.

So what does all that mean? Is this an event or player driven?


The servers are down for 24 hours to release the atest expansion. The largest part being Factional Warfare.

Eg you can individually or as part of a corp, join either the amarr, caldari, Gallente, or minmatar and shoot your two "traditional enemies" all over the map.

REPORT: SECOND MINMATAR-THUKKER ARMADA INVADES AMARR EMPIRE

KOR-AZOR PRIME � Heavy fighting is underway in numerous locations throughout the Kor-Azor Region as a second titan-backed Minmatar-Thukker armada invaded the Amarr Empire. Multiple surface landings have been reported on planet Eclipticum, and Kor-Azor Family Bureau Headquarters Station has been stormed by elite mechanized troops. Kor-Azor�s independent security forces are defending against the onslaught on both land and in space, but the Minmatar-Thukker forces are overwhelming them with sheer numbers.

Although the attack marks the first time in history that a foreign power has invaded sovereign Amarr territory, Imperial Navy warships have not yet moved to intercept them.

Oh Hai guyz. we haf 2 titanz

REPORT: THIRD MINMATAR-THUKKER FLEET DETECTED IN DOMAIN REGION; FIERCE FIGHTING REPORTED OVER SARUM PRIME

SARUM PRIME � In what eyewitnesses are describing as an "epic, violent clash between empires", the Imperial Navy has just engaged a third Minmatar-Thukker fleet over the third planet of the Sarum Prime system, 'Mekhios'. Multiple worlds within the Amarr Empire, in particular the Kor-Azor Region, have been attacked with orbital bombardments just prior to the surface landings of hundreds of thousands of Minmatar troops, who despite their uniform ethnicity cannot be confirmed to be Republic infantrymen.

The invaders are believed to be using Insorum in their bombardments, saturating ground targets with airborne variants of the Vitoc-neutralizing agent before commencing their assaults.

It is unclear why the Imperial Navy has chosen Sarum Prime to makes its stand, where it appears the bulk of the Empire�s warships are either onsite or en-route to the battle.

REPORT: �MASS MURDERS� REPORTED AT MINMATAR REPUBLIC GOVERNMENT FACILITIES

ILLUIN � Scope News has just obtained confirmation of the mass-murder of hundreds of municipal and regional government officials and throughout the Minmatar Republic. The assassins, believed to be aligned with the same Minmatar-Thukker strike force invading the Amarr Empire, are allegedly leaving evidence of the victim�s complicity with Amarrian intelligence services with each corpse. This "purge", as the attackers have allegedly described, was clearly timed to coincide with the invasion. Police detectives have remarked that the Minmatar-Thukker operation was "flawless", leaving "no opportunity for police forces to react."

The Republic Fleet still denies any involvement with the attackers, but has ordered all combat vessels to amass near the borders as a "precaution against any Amarrian counterstrike."
Colaborators will be shot on sight.

I Had tons of fun last night. Went to Yulai, saw the wreck of a system, took some screenshots, got bored, tehn flew over to Luminaire. Thre was a massive Caldary navy fleet (destroyable) surrounding a Caldari Navy Titan (Not Destroyable).
So spent a while blowing up NPC's, creating wrecks flagged to me.
Then
Blew up people who looted them.

hehe.

So, just curious, what NPC corps are those that count for pvp now? In all the time I have been playing Eve, I stayed in the Minmatar Military School. I keep wondering whether I have been drafted into the war now and can be shot up, or whether I am still save in my little pve world. :)

Does anybody know?
