Defending the King of Veldspar

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
Marcus Aurelius

In this case, the side of the majority is avoiding the ranks of the insane, and smacking them down severely for daring to think they could harass the Veld-God that is Chribba. CONCORD Preservation and Recovery has found themselves under a declaration of war from some of the primary Mercenary powers left remaining in Eve, along with 15-20 smaller corporations...if not more...XII Legion included.

XII Legion Declares War Against CONCORD Preservation and Recovery
From: CONCORD
Sent: 2009.12.30 23:16

XII Legion has declared war on CONCORD Preservation and Recovery.
Within 24 hours fighting can legally occur between those involved.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. We are of the chosen ones, Sent from within New Eden, in the name of Man kind, Power and survival. We will lead the weak through the valley of the darkness. We are truly our brother's keepers and the finder of lost souls. Let it be known to all, to those who attempt to kill and destroy our brothers in arms. We will strike down with great vengeance and furious anger upon you and to those within your corporation And you will recognize and fear our names. New Eden help your soul.


CONCORD Preservation and Recovery has, after being flooded with declarations of war from all across New Eden, retracted their war against Chribba. I doubt, however, that it will stop here. They have crossed the line. Even the most notorious pirates are content to allow Chribba to mine Veld in lowsec, even in his titans, as they slaughter helpless travelers all around him...and yet he remains untouched. Such is the respect that the community has for this person that hundreds, if not thousands of people will drop what they are doing and rush to his defense at a moment's notice. In saving Chribba's POS's in the Irnin system this past day, next to Amarr Prime, the heathens were repulsed, having lost 3 Armageddons, 1 Omen, and 1 Maller. In turn the 'Knights of the Veld' lost 9 Pospreys.

IMM corp, of the Systematic-Chaos alliance, holders of Sov in much of Estoria, have been linked to this effort. One of their members, Prometheus09, clearly implicates himself of involvement with the CONCORD Preservation and Recovery corporation in his blog on December 22 entitled Knocking At The POS. Are we to sit and watch as an alliance chooses to harass the most beloved character in all the game? Zedrik Cayne and the IEEE have taken the step and put in the vote to bypass investigation and wage direct and open warfare upon these heathens.

XII Legion applauds his efforts and gladly supports the IEEE in this endeavor. The question is, how much of the Eve community will follow suite? A coordinated effort must be made in order to effectively harass the empire operations of the 5th largest alliance in the game. The next few weeks will tell where the lines will be drawn
