And so it begins... again

About 35 days ago another circle of inter-faction carnage and destruction started.

With the Empire having taken the Federation by surprise - and apparent disarray within Federal ranks, both regarding strategy, war goals and morale - it is pretty safe to say that the outcome of this war has been decided already, although its official end is probably months away.

As always, combat zones have been spread around the whole universe, and not just confined to the Imperial and Federal zones and strongholds in the NZ. We have reports that there have been many instances when the total outcome of the Federal effort has been nil for a number of consecutive days, with the Federation getting their targets wrong and getting lost by popping up in areas near Union sectors, instead of the Pardus Contingents or Imperial cores. Arguably, however, the Union is helping the Empire war effort, and as such, any Union-affiliated pilot is liable to be shot down.

The Empire seems to be more constant(ish) in its attacks, while the Federal gains seem to be ever-changing.

The novelty of this war is definitely an all-out withdrawal of the Federation from the pardus Contingent which resulted in Empire taking it over without a fight so it may be a bit more difficult to assess an overall combat performance. However, the retreat may have been an elaborate scheme to entrap the Red forces in hostile space because there are numerous reports of combat still taking place there.


We will monitor events very closely and report them here, but there is one piece of advice we can share to our younger readers out there: STAY in the cores, at least, until the war is over.
