Coalition Domis kick BL Ishtar fleet out of TEG

TEG-SD, 15 March 2015

After destroying 2 enemy SBU's in 7BX-6F and 6VDT-H, coalition pilots quickly reformed in TEG. FC Calwell had the fleet reship into Dominixes as a Black Legion fleet of Ishtars arrived in off station. In what is becoming a familiar scenario, coalition Domis undocked, dropped sentries and chewed through the enemy as they tried to kite out of range.

Many brave interdictor pilots sacrificed themselves once again to bubble the enemy and prevent their escape. Those who did escape went to 87XQ-0 and the fleet followed and caught more in that system. Fleet then returned to TEG and looted the field of a large number of sentry drones that will come in handy in the next few weeks.

Dominix pilots wanted

The Dominix class battleship has been around for a long time. But this is not your grandfather's Dominix. All components from propulsion systems to sensors to weapons platforms have been completely upgraded to enable the Dominix to survive and thrive in today's most unforgiving combat environments.  Beneath that familiar exterieur beats a 1.74 megaton Swiss watch.

The Dominix is the most drone-centered T1 sub capital ship available. It can carry up to 3 flights of highly-bonused Heavy Attack Drones or Heavy Sentry Drones of which it can field up to 5 at a time. It is only rivaled by the Ishtar class T2 cruiser, carrier class vessels, and of course the T2 Dominix version, the Sin.

The Dominix can also fit hybrid weapons but most Alliance Navies prefer the versatility that fitting  heavy energy neutralizers and drone range augmentation modules gives them.

The Dominix can not only dish out the punishment, it can also take it. Seven armor tanking hardpoints are available which means the Dominix can be fitted with a formidable tank. Just the thing when you are primaried by that fleet of T3 strategic cruisers.

The Gallente Dominix class battleship. It's not your grandfather's Dominix.

Kadeshi Harpies use coalition JB to escape

TEG-SD, 12 March 2015

Coalition Ishtars were scrambled earlier today to intercept a Kadeshi Harpy fleet moving up the Fountain Core pipe. Pilots barely had time to strap in and fire up their engines before FC Hobojoe Dimaloun undocked the fleet to give chase.

Fleet interceptors burned ahead to get intel on the fast-moving Harpies. They reported the enemy fleet in the Minotaur pocket, a dead end. Coalition forces set up bubbles and deployed drones on the 57-KJB gate in A-HZYL and waited. The enemy Harpies arrived 50 km off the gate on the other side and also bubbled. After 10 minutes of the Mexican stand-off FC Hobojoe ordered interdictors and fast tackle in to catch what they could and the fleet then followed.

Our brave interdictor pilots sacrificed themselves willingly to bubble the enemy allowing coalition Ishtars to destroy 7 Harpies, 2 Scythes and the enemy FC’s Svipul, whereupon the enemy fleet fled deeper into the Minotaur pocket.

The Harpies were next located in the dead-end system of R-BGSU. There was no escape for them. The fleet burned to V6-NY1 but scouts reported that the enemy was no longer present in R-B or OL3-78. At first it was thought that the enemy had exited via a wormhole, but Arkale Dark had been spotted at the jump bridge in 9DQW-W and now the Harpy fleet was reported in J-R. The enemy had escaped via Fatal Ascension’s password-protected 9DQ jump bridge. The security of the jump bridge had obviously been compromised.

FC ordered fleet to follow but the Harpies were long gone. A significant number of pilots could not take the bridge without incurring incapacitating jump fatigue and had been left behind in Minotaur. All that was left for FC was to rendez-vous with them at Z30S-A. The coalition leaves no man behind. This was done and fleet then returned to base.

Hunt for Rokh Oktober

'Rokh just jumped into A-1...hello anyone around?'  With these words of Challu began the Hunt for Rokh Oktober.

One by one Blasties replied on comms. TY was making a sandwich or something. Challu got his Sabre blown up trying to tackle the Rokh alone in YZ. 'At least we know he has blasters.'

Challu followed the Rokh into A-H on his alt in a bomber with only a point. Meanwhile several cruisers tried to catch up. Challu pointed the Rokh but it MJD'ed off and warped.

With help one jump out Challu decided to go for him again in YZS5 to slow him down at least, and I believe Almos also caught up and scrammed him. He aggressed and then the rest of us arrived and Rokh Oktober was sunk.

Black Legion brings War to TEG doorstep

TEG-SD, 10 March 2015

Pings went out for Dominix pilots late tonight as a 90-man Black Legion fleet of Augoror Navy Issues with Oneiros logistics support approached TEG staging system. The situation looked grim for the coalition after 15 minutes as LAWN FC Li Blackhawk reported only 26 Dominixes were assembled. Logistics and boosting ships were also in short supply despite some hectic bat phoning and corp pinging.

The enemy fleet led by Elo Knight landed on TEG undock. ‘Alright,’ announced FC, ‘we might just have enough. We’ll see how it goes. Everyone undock.’  With these inspiring words ringing in their ears, our fearless Dominix pilots emerged into the Storm of Augorors.

Station was bubbled. FC ordered Bouncer sentries deployed and broadcasted targets. As well as following these targets our skilled pilots were ordered to distribute tracking disruption and energy neutralizers to all enemy ships which they did very effectively.

However, enemy ships did not go down easily, many receiving timely repairs from their logistics wing. FC was obliged to switch quickly between targets in order to take them down. However this process was hindered by long lock times for the enemy cruisers. The enemy kited out, FC ordered optimal range scripts for the TD’s.

Now enemy Stealth bombers made their appearance and destroyed a large part of the fleet’s drones. FC ordered the fleet to deagress and approach station. Those without Bouncers docked up to resupply and undocked. Then as the enemy fleet reapproached, the fight began again. FC ordered tracking scripts for the omnidirectional links. Now as the targets were being broadcasted earlier, the fleet began to chew through the enemy before they could react. One after another the enemy fell. And soon they were warping out in disarray, leaving TEG undock strewn with enemy wrecks. GF’s were exchanged and FC praised his valiant pilots for their skill and discipline in a hard fight.

Once again coalition Dominix class battleships stand undefeated.
