Here the Imperium suffered a crushing defeat, the unfinished supercapitals abandoned and their fleets in tatters. Soon afterwards, the fighting came to a head in 2DWM-2, a system in which the Imperium alliance Get Off My Lawn was building supercapitals-Titans and Supercarriers, the backbone of any serious military fleet. Leaving behind their holdings in the south, their 4,400 members moved north to assault Vale of the Silent. The real tipping point came when TEST, rejuvenated and rebuilt, was hired to join the fray. Duels over a few valuable moons in the Hakonen system led to the Battles of Hakonen, costing 1.1 trillion in game currency, or over $20,000, including three Titans. Seeing the success, IWI began to hire more and more alliances to assault Imperium borders both in Fade and in another region, Vale of the Silent.ĭuels over a few valuable moons in the Hakonen system led to the Battles of Hakonen, costing 1.1 trillion in game currency.Īs the new anti-Imperium coalition formed (named The Good Guys by its citizens and the Moneybadger Coalition by its leaders), huge fights began. The assault warranted a wider coalition response, resulting in a few very large fights. The region had been under assault for months, and had not shown many cracks, but the continued pressure caused a loss of over 1,000 members for SpaceMonkey’s Alliance. Psychotic Tendencies was paid 1.2 trillion ISK to do so, according to its leader-around $23,000 real dollar value. IWI, with its massive money reserves, hired two alliances called Pandemic Horde and Psychotic Tendencies to assault SpaceMonkey’s home region of Fade. A member alliance of the Imperium, SpaceMonkey’s Alliance, pissed off IWI by accusing them of real money trading with their ISK, a strictly forbidden practice.
One website did this and made quite a pretty penny doing so: IWantIsk (IWI). Until it was banned (opens in new tab)in the aftermath of this war, gambling with your ISK (money) in EVE wasn't necessarily condoned by the EULA but was generally ignored. The numbers TEST used to have permeated most every corner of the game, a diaspora of sorts. Many members and member corporations (think guilds in other games) left for other alliances or left the game, but the animosity remained. Though it has since rebuilt much of its strength, in the aftermath of that war, TEST collapsed and lost a few additional regions. The losing side in the war was headed by Test Alliance Please Ignore (TEST), a massive Reddit-based alliance. One catch, though-the Kickstarter would be managed by and the book published by The Mittani Media, run by Alexander Gianturco (The Mittani in EVE), leader of the old CFC (now rebranded as the Imperium), the winning side in that war.
At EVE Vegas 2015, the largest EVE event outside of the main convention in Iceland, CCP announced that there would be a Kickstarter campaign to support Jeff Edwards, a sci-fi/military fiction writer, in his endeavor to write a fictionalized account of the Fountain War, in which the iconic Battle of 6VDT-H took place.
