Now, most of the time, should we be wardec’d, we just ignore the wardec. They rarely will undock to fight if you bring the fight to them, and even less rarely will they come hunt us. As most of EVE knows, wardeccers just hang out at Jita and the choke points hoping to get easy kills.
This time, however, we discovered the wardeccers had a POS in Korami that was just begging to be exploded.
So of course, we obliged, and of course, we invited some of the Redemption Road NSPI community to join us in the fun! Special thanks to our friends in Phoenix Naval Reserves.
This nicely done video by Druur Monakh (may he rest in peace) is of the fight over the POS.
Notes on the video from Druur:
We got really lucky in this war, because our war deccers made every mistake possible:
– Only 2 people, with no backup
– Apparently no research on us
– Obvious intentions
– Corp member in their POS system by the time the war was declared, making it easy to find
– Small POS with no defenses whatsoever
– Having a research POS in their war-dec corp in the first place.
– No attempt to arm the POS after it was reinforced
– BPOs in the labs!Wonderful opening volley; after that, I tried to take glamour shots of various ships. I didn’t switch back quickly enough to capture the final explosion, sorry Actual time of the takedown is at 4:40 minutes.
And here’s a complete video of the entire fight (hah), by Caldari5
We ended up with 54 people in fleet at a god-awful time of day, and the POS dropped over 3.8 billion isk worth of BPOs… and being a community service oriented corporation like we are, of course we offered to sell the BPOs back to them… 😉

Howdy!
Thanks for wardeccing us!
We have cleared your Gallente Control Tower in Korama, as it was cluttering up our overviews and was an embarrassement to industrialists and mercenaries alike:
Kill: Gallente Control Tower Small
In the process, we cleared out the labs, and the following trash was found:
Catalyst Blueprint
Aurora Ominae Blueprint
Gallente Fuel Block Blueprint
R.A.M.- Ammunition Tech Blueprint
Drake Blueprint
Capital Remote Capacitor Transmitter I Blueprint
Thanatos Blueprint
As we are a community-service alliance, we feel it is only fair to offer you first right of refusal to purchase the above items from us before we offer them to the community at large.
The price for all of the above is four billion isk. Transfer of these assets will be done only through contracts.
Please respond within 48 hours to this offer to return your items for the cost of four billion isk. If you do not respond within 48 hours, these items will be sold to the highest bidder at a charity auction, with the proceeds used to fund our free monthly public NewBro New Player Roams.
In your own words: “u welcome”.
Greygal
They declined to buy their stuff back, despite our generous fair market value, and the sale of the BPOs funded our NewBro roams and a fabulous Sansha Claws roam for well over a year 😉
