DARKNESS. ally Dangerous Voltage (DV) has lost the system of 8F-TK3 to ‘Elite Space-Coaltion’ members, Confederation of xXPIZZAXx, EON Alliance and Vox Populi.
In the hours shortly after Downtime on the 27th of May, DARKNESS. (DARK) allies, Dangerous Voltage (DV) formed a Loki Fleet against Vox Populi (VOX) for the final station timer of 8F-TK3. According to wheniaminspace, FC for PIZZA and EON’s Ishtar Fleet, Vox Populi engaged DV first in the system of UEXO-Z. PIZZA was awaiting DARK. to form, and were camping their staging system.
Upon receiving some information that DARK was forming, the PIZZA Ishtar Fleet bridged to 8F-TK3 to aid VOX in bashing the station. Meanwhile, DV regrouped with the recently formed DARKNESS and The Kadeshi (THOR) Legion/Loki fleet that was in-route to contest the station timer.
Due to the late form-up of the DARK./THOR/DV T3 Fleet, PIZZA and VOX were able to set up the perfect trap, with PIZZA Ishtars at range and VOX Proteii sitting directly on top of the 9O-8W1 gate in 8F-TK3, the only route DARK. had to enter the system. Upon DARKNESS.’s ingress, VOX lit a cyno and jumped two triage Archons into the system while PIZZA Praetor II’s descended upon the DARKNESS. Legions like a storm from the heavens. According to wheniaminspace, “They (T3’s) were dying as soon as the drones touched them.”
After the vast majority of DARK./THOR forces were destroyed, PIZZA dropped a Moros and two Phoenix-class dreadnoughts onto the strategic objectives and finished grinding them. Sovereignty in the system fell at 13:49 as the Dangerous Voltage TCU was destroyed, marking this both a strategic and moral victory for PIZZA and VOX.
With the loss of 8F-TK3, Dangerous Voltage no longer owns any sovereignty in this region, and PIZZA plans to hand the entire constellation of LSC-4P over to Vox Populi.
