As the dust settled, New Eden was left to tally a larger battle than had ever been seen before amidst a mountain of shattered titans.
The bloodbath continued until daily downtime the next day, when PAPI forces were issued the command to stay logged out after the servers went offline. The trades on both sides were incredibly even, with each side losing supercapital ships at around the same rate. The fighting lasted approximately 14 hours as each side volleyed Titans and enemy supercapitals off field, one after another. As the first shots were fired by PAPI at the structure, the Imperium broke from tether and returned fire - the resulting fight would be the most destructive in EVE History. The cyno jammer was then hit several more times by a small number of imperium pilots to keep the window open as they brought in additional reinforcements - however the attackers too were bringing in additional ships, as both sides attempted to achieve a numerical (and firepower) advantage.Īt 22:33 GMT the PAPI forces moved into position below the Keepstar and all waited nervously to see if the Imperium forces would break from the safety of the Keepstar tether to engage. PAPI cleared the shield timer without much contest however when it came time for the armor timer, the Imperium supercapital fleet was poised to respond.Ī lone Imperium interceptor pilot is credited with attacking the M2-XFE cyno jammer just prior to the start of the fight, granting the imperium forces a window in which they could bring in capital reinforcements while the cyno jammer repaired. As PAPI forces were continuing to press into the Imperium home region of Delve they began an assault against a seemingly "irrelevant" ( 1, 2) Keepstar in the system of M2-XFE. On December 30th 2020 this tension finally came to a spectacular head in the most destructive battle New Eden had ever seen.
The two sides of the conflict each possessed the largest supercapital forces in New Eden and a large scale confrontation felt inevitable as the battle lines pushed closer, the fighting grew bloodier, and each battle became more critical to each side's success, survival or morale. The largest war in EVE (and video game) history had been raging for months and tensions were building.
