Last week Miners in Tau-23 were forced to leave after Outcast fleet enters Tau. As i was told a Outcast Dreadnought was spotted in the distance near Java station. Soon not only the Dreadnought but a fighter wing appeared on the stations radar. IMG fighters took up positions to defend java. They were already outnumbered when two Blood dragon ships attacked them from behind. They were taking a beating when the outcast ships opened fire. The IMG ships were losing. But a gleam of hope appeared in the distance. A group of freelancers and a Kusari battleship joined the fight soon the Outcast had to retreat to Cali. This is just one of hundreds of attacks that happen every week in Tau-23. Outcast ships are spotted every day in this system. IMG belives the Outcast are building a fleet in Tau-23 because Tau is the only thing standing between them and Kusari space. If Java falls by the hands of the Outcast im afraid Kusari will be in a real world of hurt.
If you have encountered Outcast in Tau-23 please post your story here for Sirius to know. Im Luke Garner with Sirius Action News.
Just another day at the office. And nobody was "forced to leave".
I've been fighting in those godforsaken trenches for years now and if it really was so dramatic, Cali would have "blown up" just as many times as Java. I'm not saying is easy, standing up to a bunch of superhuman drug addicts and dealers isn't easy, but we manage. Anther one of those stalemate cases where nothing short of divine intervention against someone's best efforts and wishes can move things one way or the other.
This attack by the Blood Dragons is actually novelty though. They rarely come over and when they do, it's just business - "asking for donation". Not like them to go flat-out against station defenses. Especially considering we don't even share a border or did anything that could even remotely anger them.
And as per the reasons for Java being under siege like that isn't any Grand Scheme of attacking Kusari as far as I can tell. To be honest, the IMG has enough problems of their own to bother if and when the Outcasts decided to just plain bypass Java on the way to Kyushu. The Maltese are in for this just because Java's a good target. They got enough bravado and numbers to just bully people around. They're essentially cowards because they never knew what it's like to stand their ground against a group that's by default more numerous and never limited in their choice of weapons.
