OVERVIEW

---

Sitting in the distant system of Sigma-17, shrouded by the Kunashir Cloud, the valuable Planet Kurile continues to produce the fabled food-culture organisms. Three years ago, the Gas Miner's Guild wrested control of the planet from Samura, and in doing so have committed themselves to the world; A mistake they are soon to realize. The Corsairs have held an interest in the organisms found on the planet, the resources found there could greatly counteract the enduring hunger shared by their people. High Elder Montoya has decreed that the Barcelona moves on Kurile. The raiders are to be finally let loose on the blue pearl. The Elders command it.

On the other side of Sirius, the Outcasts grow ever increasingly frustrated. Reports have started coming in that Cryer Pharmaceuticals' new product Stabiline, while initially disregarded as fictional propaganda to try and dissuade Cardamine addicts, had actually proven to work to a degree. The very existence of this product is a bane to the Outcasts plan for revenge upon the houses and a great slight to their honor. Determined to cut this problem off at the root, the Outcasts have sent several strike wings to destroy Atka Station in the Sigma-17 system; the base where this dreaded product was first produced.

In an ominous twist of fate, both descendants of House Hispania find themselves in an unexpected reunion, and there can be only one result: bloodshed.

A PVP kill will count as 1 point, and cargo deliveries vary by the distance of the route: Maltese cargo is worth 1 point per 15,000 cargo, Corsair Cargo worth 1 point per 23,000 cargo, and Cryer cargo is worth one point per 32,000

Intentionally suiciding/denying kills within the system may have grave repercussions. Self-kills and teamkills will be tracked. You have been warned.

The event outcome will affect future balance of power.
