What type of effect would a Titan falling on a heavily populated planet have? I mean the test event showed some smoldering wreckage and a massive dust cloud, but would there be any long lasting effects? Could neighboring districts become uninhabitable?

So many questions, we'll just have to wait for the final push to see what happens.

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.

*shines pistols, reloads rifles, tunes spin on HMG, tweaks Swarm tracking* wait. this means I only have a day to test defiance before I lose my whole weekend to dust... WORTH IT!

Throws down Nova Knives, Scrambler Pistol, SMG, AR, HMG, Sniper Rifles, Swarm launcher, Forge Guns, Mass Drivers, Laser Rifles, Couple crates of greandes, a few HAVs, Dropships and LAVs.

Yup my arsenal is ready.

but is your body ready?

but is your body ready?

I would like to note the battles start TODAY in 9 Hours

If I understand correctly a battle of any kind over the weekend counts as event participation.

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 solidarity.

Both Militias are offering mercenaries access to their own variants of the drop suits.

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.

Command also urgently requests any corporation with stellar assets to have them ready to commit on Friday. While Luminaire is the destination point there are some pilots that are restricted from entering empire space. Command believes that both nation's Naval Logistics may provide a means around it to get into the system. This is however not confirmed yet and do not hing your plans on it.

Announcement from command.

Over a hundred years ago the Caldari lost control of their home planet and completely evacuated it.

Five years ago a surprise attack forced the Gallente to surrender the planet that had been colonized by Gallente people since the evacuation.

Probably merc battles only. And if I were the devs, I'd make it so you only get a teams suit if that team wins.

Update: This event will be running on DUST 514 from Thursday, March 21st starting at 18:00 GMT until Monday March 25th 11:00 GMT. Everyone that joins the match (instant battle, mercenary, or corporation) at least once will receive 10 copies of Federal Defence Union and and 10 copies of State Protectorate dropsuits later next week.

It is time for boots to hit the ground, mercs!

Wait, is gallente are fielding two proto weight titans? I new that huge space potato was gallente

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

Actually two of these ships

http://izlin.free.fr/eve/ships/soltueur.jpg

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

That was what I was referring to, does it have a name? 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!

Eve mode engaged: my statement stemmed from not only losing one of their leader's usefulness they also suffer cpu wrak ships for their purpose (excluding the rattlesnake): eve mode disengaged. Also I'm not surprised it wasn't designed by the king himself

Not sure if he did, its ancient pre-stellar history
