The ranks of Red Alliance had swelled too. And it was capable of fielding fleets bigger and better equipped than any in the region. And so the fingers (Lotka Volterra, Knights of the Southern Cross, Chimaera Pact, and Veritas Immortalis) formed a fist: the Coalition of the South. Individually, the alliances that made up the Coalition of the South were no match for the Russians, but as a combined unit they were the dominant force in the southeast of New Eden. Not content to take no for an answer, those alliances came together to remove Red Alliance from the southeast. Let's just be friends.' And they said, 'No. "We tried diplomacy initially to say, 'We're happy leaving you in the East, you can keep your old regions. "They really bore grudges, the Russians," said Lallante, a former fleet commander in the Coalition of the South. "You have to be able to show people that there is a hope." - Death Real world relationships can heavily influence politics in Eve, and in this case the path to a peaceful resolution was being obstructed because some Coalition of the South pilots thought it was funny to mock the Russians for their nationality. The Coalition of the South was comprised of several smaller alliances which each had an "ancestral claim" to the territory Red Alliance conquered (Some very old groups in Eve occasionally claim ancestral rights to certain territories if they were among the first to settle there when the game launched in 2003).īefore they joined forces and became the Coalition of the South, the smaller groups each individually asked Red Alliance for their territory back, but each request was denied by Red Alliance at the height of its power and its hubris. The Russian pilots were all that remained of the former powerhouse Red Alliance, a group whose holdings had once spanned five regions and over 450 star systems, making them the dominant power in the southeast of New Eden. It would prove to be one of the most memorable battlefield moments in Eve Online’s history, and a turning point that would shape the political landscape for years to come. "When you're going up against those kind of odds you'd better have some great fucking idea about how you're going to beat their asses," Death told me in a thick Russian accent. They were outnumbered almost six to one, but they were prepared. As the Coalition dreadnoughts aimed their huge guns at the starbase and fired the opening volley, the Russian fleet commander gave the order to retaliate. Among the massive fleet were 15 state-of-the-art, siege-capable dreadnoughts designed to rip the entrenched Russian position to shreds. Just show the people that there is a little tiny hope that exists."Ī fleet of over 400 "Coalition of the South" ships - the enemies of the Russians - warped in on the position of the 70 defenders. "You have to be able to show people that there is a hope," he later said. Their fleet commander, a Russian-born New Yorker known to his compatriots as "Death" spoke to his friends and fellow pilots, rallying the troops for one last stand. On May 25, 2006, 70 Russian pilots sat tired and bleary-eyed in their battleships near the first moon of the fourth planet in a star system so remote it was known only by the obscure designation "C-J6MT." They had dug in their heels, huddled around their last stronghold - a defensive starbase - and were preparing for the fight of their lives.
