[ATLAS DIR] Goon/PL Intel

Unless something is swiftly resolved‚ we may see another Great War breaking out in the next few days. Word has reached us that Atlas intends to take its growing powerbloc north, past Insmother, to invade and attempt to destroy XIX. While the rest of the combatants in the Great War were beating the shit out of each other on a daily basis, Atlas bided their time and, while they did fight XIX in Tenerifis, was mostly shielded from the costs and exhaustion of the conflict. Оncе RKZ was shattered‚ many of the former Molle-pets simply moved to Atlas's side, either joining their ever-growing alliance or Aggresion, which is an EXE-spinoff based around FoFF, the 'pvp half' of EXE. 

RA, beset by internal issues, has retreated to Curse and may relocate to XIX space to recover. With RA out of the picture for now we must defend XIX against whatever Atlas/Aggression/etc throws at them. 

The primary worry here is a destabilization to the nascent post-Great War balance of power. The coalition was on the verge of disbanding and mutually resetting, and then this extinction-level threat to XIX/RA manifested. Neither the NC, PL or GS is willing to abandon XIX or allow the drone regions to fall into hostile hands. In the allied command channel, Shadoo is screaming and ranting about the impending threat. Imperian is plotting about how to take out the enemy capital groups. Phreeze seems positively giddy. Meanwhile, Vuk is busy showing us pictures of his naked ass. In short, everything is back to the way it was three weeks ago. 

This weekend Atlas will be moving and staging into upper Detorid to prepare for its push. Aggression will be moving to the middle of ED territory in Etherium Reach - meaning that IRC/ED, who are still formally blue to XIX, intend to harbor the attacking force against XIX, and thus won't be blue long. This means that a massive, LV-esque coalition of faggotry is in the making - Atlas, Aggression, ED, IRC forming the core, plus hangers-on in the form of CОW/Scorchеd Earth/Minor Threat‚ and occasional military support from -A-. 

GFFL and the rest of the coalition will be likewise getting ready. Get to WNM. Join the GFFL jabber channel. Begin stockpiling ships, get the XIX jump bridge network bookmarked. Let's do this.

Those who think ATLAS is what they used to be in Stain -- they are not. They've steamrolled while their allies were bleeding in Querious and gathered a lot of momentum and attitute which frankly -- reminds me so vividly of LV during the RA wars. 

This is what you're up against now: 

Atlas Alliance [ATLAS] - Members: 2457 (-1 since last update) (+981 in the last 81 days) Corps: 21 Sov Systems: 78 Stations: 16 

Aggression. [AGGRО] - Mеmbers: 2191 (-2 since last update) (+1598 in the last 81 days) Corps: 27 Sov Systems: 61 Stations: 6 

Sc0rched Earth [BYRN] - Members: 2124 (+2 since last update) (+651 in the last 81 days) Corps: 30 Sov Systems: 56 Stations: 8 

Cult of War [-COW-] - Members: 1069 (+1 since last update) (+914 in the last 76 days) Corps: 18 Sov Systems: 1 Stations: 0 

Minor Threat. [KARMA] - Members: 669 (-1 since last update) (+36 in the last 81 days) Corps: 16 Sov Systems: 4 Stations: 3 

KrautbreaK [KRAUT] - Members: 317 (-1 since last update) (+89 in the last 81 days) Corps: 5 Sov Systems: 0 Stations: 0 

+ likely IRC/ED 

Their primary TZ will be US and they will field up to 200 caps + 200 support in US prime on a questimate‚ Bobby is not counting on a long deployment thou. He's seen 60 goons in GFFL fleet get DDed and doesn't worry.

It looks like they're just there to defend. Will be a shock when they realise we're not actually attacking...

I really like their propaganda machine though‚ it's a testament to their success (seriously).

I blame funk for this.
