This episode, Ron and Silver sit down with Sort Dragon, Alliance XO of Dead Coalition and Pandoralica, one of the most prominent fleet commanders in The Initiative. The Initiative made news by formally allying with Dead Coalition against the encroaching movement of Northern Coalition. They discuss current events in the Branch and Tenal regions as well as the narratives generated on various eve media platforms.
Fraternity leader Noraus asses the situation as enemies gather at his walls. TEST and the new, yet unnamed, Russian block are held back by a nonaggression pact that ends in 3 weeks. Meanwhile, a disastrous loss of two titans for Fraternity has turned around instantly as TEST fumbles a withdrawal and leaves behind a Komodo that is killed by Fraternity. First ever. That and more.
The Initiative has moved to Hakonen, the Lonetrek region border to Northern Coalition’s home. The rivals are poised to fight for the next few weeks. We have fleet commanders from both sides.
CODE’s Jason Kusion explains how his group executes hauling ships right under the noses of the high-security space authorities. That and the news of the week; The Initiative deployed to their rivals border, Snuffed Out pummels Minmatar low-security space, and Burn Jita is back – this weekend.

On December 10, 2018 at 02:00 EVE time, The Initiative continued their invasion of Hard Knocks’ home in Rage system. With Fort Knocks reinforced, the defending wormhole dwellers received support from other wormhole groups. Lazerhawks and other groups broke into Rage system and awaited opportunities to unlock the “doors” to the solar system from the inside. Ninety minutes before the armor timer was up, a significant attempt to break in over 100 additional wormhole pilots failed, and many of them destroyed in the effort. Pandemic Horde ships were among the wrecks. Would enemies of The Initiative help Hard Knocks defeat...
