Goonfleet vs. Band of Brothers

Some numbers on the conflict.

Besides not being able to get information on three Pet Alliances, keep in mind KFC numbers are biased by the fact that many have not logged on or been in any kind of conflict in the last four days. Mostly this is to show the impact AAA could have if they got off their hands (which they haven't).

GoonSwarm is now mocking AAA's absence from the fight as a "loss of control over a Pet" by KenZoku. This is not literally true as AAA was never a rent-paying, Sovereignty-less Pet. They have also replaced the normal Alliance Icon for for KenZoku with a picture of Son Goku from Dragonball Z on their killboard.

And yes, the KFC fleet is still blockaded into that station. No relief assault to kick the jailers away for the 10-15 minutes it would take to get everyone out has been attempted.

Active KFC resistance has essentially dropped to a few roving gangs of several dozen heavy Cruisers looking for stragglers and targets of opportunity.

Meanwhile, a group of fast Frigates and heavy Cruisers from Minor Threat has entered Delve. This Alliance is one of the three that raced through Delve in Frigates over the weekend and were Doomsday Deviced for their impertinence. They are hunting GoonSwarm ships who are off ratting. They wait until a ship has taken damage from an NPC and then pounce it. GoonSwarm has lost at least two Raven class battleships to these attacks.

Monday night a Pandemic Legion reconnaissance ship in Querious detected a Cynosurial-field opening and another Titan (an Erebus piloted by a character named Fire Hawk) coming in-system. A Pandemic Legion fleet formed up on one of their own Titans to Cyno-bridge to the location if it could be captured. The scout and a Heavy Interdictor warped to the location the Titan had entered, spotted it, and opened its own Cyno-field. The Titan immediately started to log off upon opening of the new Field and vanished a mere 4 km short of maximum tackling/aggro range for the Interdictor. PL took out their frustrations by vandalizing more KenZoku towers.

GoonSwarm is estimating that they are now destroying three Towers per hour, with approximately 400 total left in all of Delve (not counting Querious or Period Basis).

Sovereignty is calculated by most Towers in a given system rather than total though, with Large towers trumping any number of mediums and mediums trumping any number of smalls. A given alliance can also only anchor five towers per day. The current standings in several systems for Large towers as reported by Pandemic Legion (taken from a board post) are:

• W-4 Constellation (ex-sov 4 mega const)
  • QY6 (46 Moons): 25 GF vs. 20 RKZ
  • PUIG (21 Moons): 11 GF vs. 10 RKZ | 1 RKZ in RF
  • 0-H (23 Moons): 12 GF vs. 9 RKZ
  • SVM (72 Moons): 22 GF vs. 11 RKZ | 3 RKZ in RF
  • F-T (34 Moons): 19 GF vs. 15 RKZ
  • J-L (108 Moons): 7 GF vs. 43 RKZ
• 1-A Constellation (ex-sov 4)
  • Y5C (68 moons): 32 PL, 3 GF vs 30 RKZ | 6 RKZ in RF
  • 5-6Q (16 moons): 9 PL vs 7 RKZ
  • 7-UTB (80 moons): 5 PL vs. 23 RKZ | 18 RKZ in RF
• E-O Constellation (ex-sov4)
  • 8WA-Z6 (65 moons): 20 TCF vs. 24 RKZ | 9 RKZ in RF
  • MO-GZ5 (10 moons): 7 RAWR vs. 0 RKZ
  • 5BTK-M (12 moons): 3 RZR vs. 0 RKZ
  • Y-OMTZ (61 moons): 15 RZR vs. 6 RKZ
• NON-SOV 4 Consts:
  • NOL (50 moons): 5 PL vs. 8 RKZ | 8 RKZ in RF
  • C3N (51 moons): 10 GF vs. 7 RKZ
  • C6Y (33 moons): 5 GF vs. 6 RKZ, 7 STRIP

While Against ALL Authorities has not taken a major part in the Delve fighting, they have made best use of their invasion of former Goon-space. In the current Sovereignty Map, AAA/Red.Overlord has apparently cut off direct access through jump gates between the southern two portions of United Legion territory. If they manage to take the last piece of Southeastern Tenerifis (which they are currently doing) they will have trisected United Legion territory, leaving them no friendly paths to travel between their holdings.
