Legion of xXDEATHXx Titan Downed
June 23rd, 2009confirmed.
The contested space represents an important logistics node for [XIX] and a thorough defence had been planned: [XIX] fleeted five titans, set up a cyno jammer and requested reinforcement from Red Alliance [RA] capsuleers. While it is alleged that they also called for support from Against ALL Authorities, none was provided, with their killboard showing forces engaged elsewhere.
At the beginning of the clash, Atlas first priority was to incapacitate the cyno jammer in order to bring a capital fleet inside 1V-LI2.
Following Atlas’ attack [XIX]‘s capsuleers scrambled to defend the jammer with all means available. Bobby Atlas recalls the battle: “Titans were [showing up] about 5-10 minutes apart and firing doomsdays solo… [they weren't] coordinated effectively, allowing us to down the jammer with minimal losses”.
As soon as the jammer went down, Atlas jumped his capital fleet inside 1V-LI2 while XIX’s titans took cover, but a spy was already lurking inside the Red Alliance fleet.
Dah’kanid of Atlas explains that when [XIX] and Red Alliance joined the fleet, a spy within the [RA] fleet realized he had information giving away the position of GAYVER7′s Avatar.
Atlas’ Fleet Commander tells us: “[Our spy] takes a squad commander position and invites our [heavy interdictors] … [we] land, tackle and aggro the Titan … our entire fleet warps on him”.
The Avatar was destroyed in few minutes of intense fire.
The war in Detorid is not over. While Atlas’ CEO claims he is satisfied with their current progress and momentum, [XIX] and allies will likely continue to put up a vigorous fight.
The Interstellar Correspondents attempted to contact representatives from XIX but none were avilable prior to publication. Our reporters will continue to monitor the situation and bring you updates as they arise.

Atlas And Allies Continue Advance Into Red Alliance Space
Insmother, 5C-RPA – Red Alliance’s [RA] sovereign space has come under fire on several fronts. Capsuleers from Atlas, Veritas Immortalis, Cult of War, Aggression and Sc0rched Earth are now pushing inside southern Insmother while Ethereal Dawn and Intreprid Crossing are applying pressure from the north and the west. The 5C-RPA system in Insmother has already fallen under Atlas control, while fighting in Etherium Reach appears to be localized around RV-GA8, TP-RTO and surrounding systems.
BAPP of Red Alliance explained “We have from 500 [to] 800 enemies in our systems in three different regions reinforcing our [starbases] every night … [the] war will end in maybe two weeks if our enemies [keep pushing like this]“.
Czech Lion of Ethereal Dawn, believs Red Alliance may possibly retreat from Insmother and Scalding Pass to better reinforce their strongholds in Etherium Reach. “The R-6 constellation is ironically the best defended in RA space [at the moment] as they launched about 60+ large towers [there]. In order to do that, they stripped many towers in Insmother and Scalding Pass… This is a multifront war. Even if we cannot make progress in [Etherium Reach], our actions [will] help others to take more space from the south or west”.
Despite the difficult situation, morale among Red Alliance pilots seems to be high. BAPP explained that capsuleers have already moved their valuable assets to safety and are enjoying combat. DeTox MinRohim of The Initiative Alliance expressed the opinion that Red Alliance pilots were fielding a strong defence. “They spent the weekend jumping around like crazy between the three fronts … [starbases were] put in reinforced, [repaired], saved…”
The political and tactical situations in Insmother are intricate, but Atlas capsuleers remain confident of a successful outcome for their campaign. When asked what such an outcome might be, however, Perman of Atlas was laconic: “[Our] final target is classified.”
The Interstellar Correspondents will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as the situation changes.
