OMAHD Conflict Ends After Failing to Deliver

The end of the recent war with One Man & His Drake [OMAHD] saw the usual frenzied activity from the Eve University student body. However, unlike most wars which end in revelry and borderline (and not so borderline) debauchery, this one was more like an Old West land rush. Students were scarce in the Pink Hat Bar & Grill while the docking bays saw unprecedented activity. The mad dash into space began exactly as the Declaration Timer expired, resulting in a pile-up at the School of Applied Knowledge undock point resembling Jita 4-4 during a fire sale. We went to investigate this anomaly and were shocked by what we found.“Everybody just wants to get out and get back to business” said Dee Carson, Eve University Director. His comments came as he was organizing a mining operation to coincide with the end of the war. Students were equally focused. We saw tens of industrials with flight plans filed for trade hubs leave the station as fast as the ports could eject them. Combat ships fitted for battle with various pirate factions streamed past in a seemingly unending procession. One freshman who refused to allow his name to be used for fear of retaliation by his corpmates had this to say: “Normally we just want to let off steam, ya know?” “But this war’s been so boring that I’m actually sick of warbeer.” “You’re not gonna print that are you?”Faculty and students alike all seemed to agree that this war did not deliver.We dug deeper to try to find the reason behind this dissatisfaction and were rewarded with an interview with the normally tight-lipped Uni-Intel branch. “The war target spent all but one hour and forty-two minutes of the war off-line.” “He didn’t just stay docked… he off-lined his clone.” “On the final day of the war his clone was active for exactly ninety seconds.” We attempted to get more details from the operative, but further questions about operations received a curt answer. “Check the killboard.” — Peter Strasser, EUNN

E-UNI Rampage Ends in Doomsday Demonstration

HED-GP, CATCH — On Sunday the 26th of August, an Eve University fleet led by Silentbrick engaged Against ALL Authorities (AAA) in 0.0 space, before falling to a Titan’s doomsday device.The battle occurred as part of a University “Rampage”, in which a fleet ranging from green rookies to hardened veterans assemble fleet to wreak havoc and strike fear into the hearts of nullsec pilots everywhere.Beginning in Korsiki, the fleet traveled 27 jumps to the HED-GP star system in Catch, where a Mobile Warp Disruptor (known as a “bubble”) was deployed. The University then dug in and waited while a fleet belonging to AAA assembled to attack. During it’s gatecamp, the Uni fleet destroyed several rookie ship scouts, a recon and interdictor vessels.The situation quickly shifted when a Titan class Ragnarok warped into the area and unleashed it’s doomsday weapon, the Gjallarhorn, and majority of the University forces were destroyed in the blast, along with number of hostile vessels. As the remaining Uni ships retreated, the rest of the AAA fleet warped into the area to finish off the survivors, however four University battleships managed to escape back through the gate, among them Aphrodite Whiterose’s Apocalypse, a scarred veteran that has survived many wars.The reaction was mixed within the uni. Some, especially the veterans were disappointed by the abrupt and “unsporting” end to the battle. Others were just excited to have seen a Titan and doomsday in action, especially the newer players. Even older players were awed by such a rare sight, such as Peter Strasser, “‘T’was most epic! Have never had a doomsday used on me before…”, while others simply described it as very “laggy”.Despite the unfortunate loss of some expensive implants by one student, the trip was declared a success by IVY Diplomat Kelduum Revaan who stated “We gave many students their first taste of 0.0 warfare, while AAA assisted us in demonstrating the potential lethality of the Titan class vessels.”– Cazzah, EUNN

OMAHD Disappoints E-UNI Students

The third day of the OMAHD conflict saw a peculiar development with an odd one sided ‘encounter’. The war target decided to show himself just as a scheduled E-UNI class was under way in Korsiki, yet no reports of obvious attempts at engaging the class has been received. In the words of a student:”It was kind of odd. He has declared war on a teaching institution and still it seems the idea of a class was lost on him. Most of the time we were completely stationary at one of the standard jump coordinates in Korsiki, but he didn’t want to come anywhere near us. Either that or he just couldn’t find us…”Words of disappointment about missing out on an opportunity to meet the WT has been heard from students and teachers alike, and a suggestion to provide the WT with a copy of the E-UNI class schedule has supposedly been firmly quenched. One unnamed faculty member explains:”That would be cruel.”– Theon Aidelius, EUNN

A Daring Escape from R-Section

CALDARI STATE ASYLUM, JUUNIGAISHI – EVE University’s most prolific combat pilot, Sabre A, is reported to have escaped from the Caldari State Asylum in Juunigaishi late last month.For weeks, Caldari authorities have denied the reports. Multiple anonymous sources within the asylum administration, however, have confirmed that the ex-University vice admiral did, in fact, manage to escape his holding cell in R-section as recently as three weeks ago.Details about R-Section are few and far between, and patient lists are strictly classified by Caldari authorities. Rumors hint that R-section is reserved for New Eden’s most violent and mentally unstable pilots and criminals.According to sources, Sabre had spent the better part of a week in R-Section solitary confinement after a murderous mid-July attack upon EVE University students in what some referred to as Sabre reaching “his breaking point.”Dee Carson, EVE University Director of Operations — “I am not commenting on that. I will only say that we appreciated Sabre’s service to the University, and it was an unfortunate incident that landed him in the asylum.”While the details of Sabre’s attack on students are sketchy and remain tightly classified, asylum insiders note that his escape was perhaps the most daring of his latest exploits.The escape reportedly began with the murder of three asylum guards with a makeshift shiv or knife constructed from single-ply institutional toilet paper rolls. After breaking into the asylum hangar control room and killing two more asylum security guards, Sabre vented the entire hangar, killing as many as 10 starship technicians and asylum transport pilots. He reportedly sang a rendition of “Amish Paradise” over the public address system as debris and victims swirled about during the hangar decompression cycle.A Caldari Navy source, who wished to remain nameless, revealed logs from a scout ship on patrol in Juunigaishi at the time of the escape. The scout’s scanner logs indicate a Cerberus heavy assault cruiser entering the asylum hangar shortly after it was vented and resealed. Squawk box scans of the Cerberus appear to have returned a hacked NAGA corporation ship ID code.Sabre is known to have had “trading” ties with NAGA director, Kodell. Officials with the elite manufacturing corporation have denied any involvement in the escape and would not comment further for this story.Central Caldari records of corporation activity indicate that Sabre’s clone DNA was loaded into Central Research Nexus’ (C-R-N) clone database as recently as two weeks ago. C-R-N is a Gallente militia corporation currently engaged in hostile activities with Caldari forces in and around Tama.C-R-N representatives were en route to an undisclosed location in Black Rise and unavailable for comment at press time.Sabre’s current location and intentions toward Caldari authorities and Eve University students and faculty are unknown.– Mos Superum, EUNN

OMAHD Conflict Sees Low Activity

Following the enemy’s loss of one Drake, the second day of the OMAHD conflict saw predictably low activity on the front-line. The single obvious war event of the day came about as the E-UNI Intelligence Department located the WT in the vicinity of Jita. After a brief round of hide-and-seek, the WT found himself in Muvolailen, accompanied by a small fleet of E-UNI war forces.At this point a friendly duel on words ensued in local, as the WT and E-UNI’s head of diplomacy, Mr. Kelduum Revaan, slugged it out on wits and math. The arguments of his numerical superiority put forth by the WT were not entirely clear to EUNN’s man on the ground, and no obvious progress was made toward resolving the dispute between OMAHD and E-UNI.Nor did the WT seem willing to accept the invitation by Mr. Revaan to exit the system through any stargate of the WT’s choosing, and an open invitation to enroll with the University with the purpose of taking classes in ship fitting was also politely declined. Eventually the encounter ended as the WT decided to leave his ship floating in mid-space.– Theon Aidelius, EUNN

Eve University Returns to War

Following a period of peace, Eve University [E-UNI] once again finds itself under siege. Reactions have been typical, and cries of ‘YARRRRR’ and ‘WARBEEER’ have echoed through the halls of this hallowed establishment at the School of Applied Knowledge.However, the cries have been cut short. The reason? The declaration of war comes from a one man corporation, One Man and his Drake [OMAHD], which resulted in some amusement by the students.As the war went live, we received reports that the Uni’s famous, or perhaps infamous intelligence department had given chase through nearly 40 systems ranging from Josameto to Embrolgolan.First blood was been drawn by Trexdirex, flying a Hurricane along with one of the University’s famed fleets which have been described by previous hostiles as “blotting out the overview” and “like being nibbled to death by a horde of rabid cats, all riled up on meth”.More to come, as this conflict continues.– Aurea SIbylla, EUNN

Burning Sun Fades on the Horizon – The Loss of a General

The HMS Horizon was taken out for her final flight today to meet up with the HMS Burning Sun in honour of the loss of General Stargazer, a long standing member of Eve University for the past 4 years. It is with great sadness to report that the General has been inflicted with an illness that has been reported as life threatening, and although a cure is possible, the chances for survival are low. This very untimely and unfortunate loss coincides with a number of other high profile losses within the corporation and has deeply affected all of those involved.The Generals benevolence and kindness is known throughout the University. In one last act of tearful kindness has seen the donation of a number of Carriers to it’s cause; to give selflessly without expectation or compensation. General Stargazer embodies both the spirit and inspiration for which the University was founded and still thrives on to this very day. It is men like these who’s personal struggle for their own life do not even take them away from their own dedication to serving others. It is men like this who make us strong, proud and free to survive in the harsh realities of New Eden. Men like this are rare, often true and seldom glorified in their humbleness. It is men like these who we all look up to with pride and honour. It is men like these, who all other men wish to become. It is men like these who brings great sadness and tears for their loss.It is with these values and many more, that his brother, Super General, saw out the final flight of General Stargazer with Eve University. With an escort fleet comprised of current and ex-E-UNI members, the group travelled to Maila in The Forge, where the General Stargazer swapped to the HMS Burning Sun.The fleet then witnessed the final jump activation of the dreadnaught, as it left for destinations unknown, beyond the edge of charted space.In memorial,– M.
