Invaders Pass on the SVM-3K ihub Contest Wilhelm Arcturus This was a weeks of first for the war. The invaders dropped their first Keepstars in Delve. On Monday and Tuesday huge battles broke out that led to the destruction of both structures. After falling down on that, the hostiles changed gears and achieved another first and managed to reinforce an ihub in Delve. They went in and got the ihub in SVM-3K, which is one of the boarder systems with Querious. SVM-3K, not too far from FWST-8 On the other side of the regional gate is 8QT-H4, the current PAPI staging system. Thus is seems like a reasonable first target, being just one gate from where their forces are marshaled. The sov contest for the ihub was set to kick off at 00:55 UTC. The Imperium formed up some forces early, including a Rokh fleet led by Elo Knight, which I joined in with. We actually jumped into 8QT-H4 a little after the 00:00 because an Imperium Fortizar left behind in 8QT was coming out for its armor timer. We were bridged in and docked up, undocking when the time came to try and hold back the attackers. The Rokhs undock A short, sharp fight ensued. Being in their staging system, the numbers were stacked against us from the start. Fight on the Fort The losses went against us according to the battle report, with us losing nearly 14 billion ISK while they suffered a little over 8 billion ISK in losses, though in the shadow of the fights on Monday and Tuesday, that is barely enough to mentioned.

We went through the gate and into SVM-3K, where we spread out to wait the impending attack. They out numbered us sufficiently that it seemed like it would be a hard fight. So we waited on the gate, ready to hold them off as long as we could. And we waited The time came, the sov contest began, and our hackers went out to save the ihub. Meanwhile, nobody came through the gate. As we watched, the contest went quickly… for an entosis run… our way. The contest almost won The invaders decided that they had better things to do on a Saturday night. The ihub was saved and we flew back to 1DQ1-A and stood down.

This was a weeks of first for the war.  The invaders dropped their first Keepstars in Delve.  On Monday and Tuesday huge battles broke out that led to the destruction of both structures.

After falling down on that, the hostiles changed gears and achieved another first and managed to reinforce an ihub in Delve.  They went in and got the ihub in SVM-3K, which is one of the boarder systems with Querious.

SVM-3K, not too far from FWST-8

On the other side of the regional gate is 8QT-H4, the current PAPI staging system.  Thus is seems like a reasonable first target, being just one gate from where their forces are marshaled.

The sov contest for the ihub was set to kick off at 00:55 UTC.  The Imperium formed up some forces early, including a Rokh fleet led by Elo Knight, which I joined in with.  We actually jumped into 8QT-H4 a little after the 00:00 because an Imperium Fortizar left behind in 8QT was coming out for its armor timer.  We were bridged in and docked up, undocking when the time came to try and hold back the attackers.

The Rokhs undock

A short, sharp fight ensued.  Being in their staging system, the numbers were stacked against us from the start.

Fight on the Fort

The losses went against us according to the battle report, with us losing nearly 14 billion ISK while they suffered a little over 8 billion ISK in losses, though in the shadow of the fights on Monday and Tuesday, that is barely enough to mentioned.
