Arkombine Military Logistics Messenger Document : 115.03.20.22.05NEGW Dispersion Widest Possible to All Mercenaries and Capsuleers
Subject: New Deployment Orders Effective 3/22/2013 Location: Caldari Prime Surface and Orbit, Luminarie System, Crux Constellation, Essence Region, Local New Eden Cluster Sovereignty: Caldari Contested ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attention all Mercenaries and Pilots.
As you are all aware we have been fighting over Caldari Prime for the last few days. Casualties are mounting on both sides and even non-cloners are doing massive amounts of their own kinds of terrible damage. It was only a matter of time before the Caldari Titan in orbit does something about it.
Concord has issued a travel advisory to the system and are deploying multiple tracking beacons and reinforcing the system's communication network in preparation for what they will hope not to happen. The largest empire naval fight in over a century and urges all civilian craft to avoid the system.
Gallente Navy has expressed the desired for all loyalist capsuleers to be available and at the ready.
Caldari Navy is confident they can discourage any attack but will appreciate any loyalist starship captains' presence to show soldiarity.
Command is working closely with the local units in getting the job done but it will confirm large amounts of hardware is being moved about.
Announcement from command. http://dust514.com/beta/news/2013/03/the-uprising-breaking-news-ground-fighting-erupts-on-caldari-prime/
[Deployment Times] Friday Afternoon UTC - Deployment Time to be updated once command settles naval logistics
Factions Gallente - Federal Defense Force Estimated Forces 3 Fleets including two Proto-titan weight class ships in the composition and all escorts. Possible Several Army, Marine, Mechanized, and Special Forces divisions may be on detachment aboard these craft.
Caldari - State Protectorate 2 Capital Fleets on stand-by compromising of super carriers and carrier task forces. Additional fleets may get pulled to assist. Compliment the Army, Marine, Mechanized, and Special Forces divisions may be on detachment aboard these craft.

Either way I updated the links in the OP, Gal Navy just tried to **** off the Cal Navy by illegally scanning the planet.
Gal Navy basically confirmed that all of our BS on the ground is much worse than the public is aware of. |

1/2 Mile asteroid going at 11 km/s
Max titan speed is 110 meters a second.
Either way expect it to wipe out a mega city. |

Proto-titan weight class ships?
Current modern day titans measuring from 14 kms to 18 kms are standardized mass production variants.
A proto-titan took an entire moon to construct and are immensly massive and very destructive.
The leviathan class is only weighted at a standard titan class ships. Its armaments will be no match against the much larger proto-titan. |

For those of you who don't know your space geography or history.
Gallente Prime and Caldari Prime are both in the same system.
In its formative years Gallente eventually though telescopes found out there where people living on caldari prime. Thus starting their space race to go meet them.
Years later the two planets would form the Gallente Federation and many other inhabited planets found where brought into the fold. As with all members of the federation all members where allowed to retain their own uniqueness. However as the years wore on and the worlds more civilized, the Caldari way was deemed far too agressive for Gallente Ideals. The resulting civil war was among the bloodiest fighting that ended nearly 115 years ago when Admiral Toval Tobal crashed his super carrier into the Gallente Major city, the disaster forced theGgallente to retreat to deal with the massive crisis. All of caldari prime evacuated systems away to a new home planet New Caldari.
With the rise of capsuleer technology and recognition of so much loss during this turmoil of time, the Jove bought all four empires together and had them sign a peace treaty known as the Yulai Convention. The four empires are still at an extremely uneasy peace in attempt to be aggressive as possible without causing a massive disaster that would resulting in a vulnerability between any of the hostile nations. |

So many questions, we'll just have to wait for the final push to see what happens. Depends on the damage to the ship, I would bet. If it lands relatively unharmed (say, propulsion systems get knocked out and nothing else) it would cause some quakes and a massive dust cloud, but not much else (I think). If there's radiation or such...yeah, that could have major impacts. An asteroid the size of foot boot ball field can destroy a small could try, and **** the weather all over the planet. A ship that's 14km long would probably kill everything.
A ship that massive would cause almost no wide spread damage if it hit the planet at 1 m/s. Most asteroids as mentioned are traveling in excess of 11km/s. There are a small handful of ships able to pull that speed off. |

They're far much larger than most titans. You could fit a few Erebus class titans in this one.
The Proto-titan class is rather unusual rare, but it still considered the ultimate weapon in space |

It is time for boots to hit the ground, mercs! I'm not saying every battle will influence the outcome (though with every battle taking place on Caldari Prime I wouldn't rule it out either). I'm just saying all battles this weekend get rewards. Sauce
Well Like I said command is reporting a large amount of equipment being moved ground side and from far as we can tell it is not related to ground fighting.
However the navy will be a very key aspect in keeping the titan busy as the ground mercs will be doing the same with local military while whatever the Gallente is doing gets done. |

You linked it before and I simply referred to it as an Erebus aeon and revenant in one.
Not sure the exact names of the sister ship but the first on the series is the Soltueur, it was named after the Gallente king that united all the tribes on the planet pre-dystopia era. Caldari had copied this class exactly (plans where stolena nd they where desperate) but it was later stolen by the Guristas and eventually put down by combined efforts of a capsuleer fleet. |

Ah, so it's like the nyx and that other famous gallente ruler. Also, why must guristas suffer the most!
Because the caldari aborred the idea of that proto-titan being used against them?
Also the Nyx was designed after his staff head. |

Sorry busy between comms, Gallente had a second fleet on standby.Caldair only had 1 titan in system gallente had two eberus and additional dreadnoughts and carriers on standby. |

The fleet just warped in. ... shield logis with Erebuses? For reference, this is incorrect. The Gallente fleet totaled 40: 4x Nyx-class supercarriers. 11x Thanatos-class carriers. 25x Moros-class dreadnoughts. The Caldari Fleet totaled 20: 1x Leviathan-class titan. 4x Wyvern-class supercarriers. 10x Chimera-class carriers. 5x Phoenix class dreadnoughts. The reasoning for this split was simple - 2:1 odds were a necessity for storyline reasons. The Gallente launched a surprise attack, and the fleet that the State brought in was 1) what was prepared and not already deployed elsewhere at the time 2) in range for direct jump and 3) able to get through the Federal cynojamming network in the small time it was down. There were no "second waves" no "extra ships", just what's listed above. There was also only one titan, the Shiigeru.
Well intel is very hard to get from the ground when large chunks of metal rain is falling. I was pulling my numbers from local chatter and didnt have any orbital support that was reliable. and about a quarter of the way though the battle all but one of my feeds went offline.
