Cistuvaert, Verge Vendor. Einherjar Alliance [THOR-] has closed its doors following the mutual withdrawal of the two remaining executive corporations: TalCorp Enterprises [LTCE] and Forging Industries [FORG].

Einherjar had previously been active in Tash-Murkon and Domain in Empire space and Providence and Great Wildlands in null sec. Operating a strictly Not Red Don’t Shoot policy (NRDS), the alliance had engaged in general anti-pirate operations including support of Curatores Veritatis [CVA] activities within Providence region.

TalCorp Enterprises CEO, Lord Talamar, explained: “The two [remaining] founding corps of Einherjar had different ideas in the end in terms of how to run things in the alliance, so we decided to go our separate ways. Forg has already started their new alliance (Silent Infinity) and we will be starting ours within the next two weeks.”

A dispute over ship replacement seems to have been a bone of contention. Lord Talamar told us: “Forg is a self described capitalist corporation whose goal is to make a profit through ship building. There was disagreement over the formalized Einherjar navy which was run mainly by TalCorp fleet commanders. Basically, many Forg members didn’t seem to like the idea of a formalized navy for military activities and several were against the More >

BZ-BCK, The Kalevala Expanse – Earlier today R.A.G.E Alliance claimed Sovereignty in 8 Systems of the Kalevala Expanse after heavy fighting, owning now almost the whole 2Q-8WA constellation.

R.A.G.E alliance is part of the Northern Coalition (together with Morsus Mihi, RAZOR, Majesta Empire and more). The NC began an invasion of The Kalevala Expanse in the western Drone regions a few days ago. The current long-term owners of the Drone regions (Legion of xXDeathXx, Red Alliance and others) and their ally White Noise set up heavy resistance.

The invasion rolls from northern Geminate, currently held by R.A.G.E, and focused the past days on establishing a bridgehead to The Kalevala Expanse by capturing the entry system UDVW-O. Massive battles raged for hours in that system. Both sides took heavy losses, more than 1000 ships destroyed, before Legion of xXDeathXx retreated. Shorter supply routes of the NC for reshipping destroyed ships (just one jump) played a vital strategical role.

Yesterday the battles continued, this time primarily in BZ-BCK. At first the defenders had the upper hand, a wing of a dozen skillful White Noise bombers wiped out almost 100 hostile battleships. But with NC reinforcements and heavy fighting, Legion of xXDeathXx’s Territorial Control Unit got More >

Earlier this month a Kronos-class marauder owned by mission runner Willbur was destroyed by capsuleer pirates in the Irjunen solar system. The loss is estimated at about 19.7 Billion ISK.

Willbur, a member of IMpAct Corporation, was assaulted by ten members of ‘The Inf1dels’. The pirate fleet was comprised of eight Raven’s, one Tempest, and one Armageddon.

Some of the more expensive modules that were lost in the attack included; Chelm’s Modified Cap Recharger, (8,000.00 M ISK), Selynne’s Modified Cap Recharger (3,050.00 M ISK), Brokara’s Modified Cap Recharger (1,800.00 M ISK), Chelm’s Modified Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane (2,800.00 M ISK), Centus X-Type Large Armor Repairer (1,350.00 M ISK) and two Corpum A-Type Energized Adaptive Nano Membranes (1,200.00 M ISK).

Willbur was in seemingly good spirits after the loss, describing The Inf1dels attack as a “good shot”, and expressing his surprise after the attack; “I didn’t know that it was possible to [kill] a sturdy battleship inside the empire. [New Eden] will always surprise me. And that’s what makes [it] exciting.”

Last month, the capsuleer owned Khanid Publishing House Ltd. released their Book of Prayer and Devotions for the Reclaimer, a compilation of prayers and holy scriptures designed for loyalist Amarr capsuleers. The Book is available to every capsuleer free of charge. It is 30 pages long and includes words of faith, prayers for battle troops and officers, benedictions and sermons.

The book was written by Odelya d’Hanguest of the 1st Praetorian Guard; “The first goal [is] to humbly offer a small spiritual guide for the faithful… behind the fighting crusader there are doctors, scientists, engineers and resource harvesters, instructors, officials and employees from offices, proud representatives of every area of our intellectual life that even in the midst of war produces miracles of Amarrian genius and contributes to the Reclaiming. It is for all of them.”

The book was well received by many in the Amarr capsuleer community who praise the level of detail and the ’righteousness’ the Book of Prayer and Devotion for the Reclaimer offers.

Not everyone received the publication of the book positively. Some Minmatar capsuleers feel offended by this ’book of faith’ and fear it will promote injustice. “It makes direct reference to the event known amongst my people More >
