The Ruins of Genesis - A once holy land

Malka Badi'a·

What is it that places the spark of courage in the heart of a hero? What great strength seperates the normal citizens from those with a glorious destiny? It is the courage to enter into the unknown with your head held high and your sword drawn, a goal in your heart and the will to see it through even if it means your life.

Six pilots of Suffoco Noctis entered the Genesis region of Amarrian space with that courage after their previous assault on the Placid region. With a few ships and even fewer supplies we began to settle in with the intention of rebuilding and reforming our strength after such a massive display of firepower. Of course, such dreams of peace and quiet are just that in our line of work... dreams. None the less after a brutal first engagement with the local antipirates we were invited to join the unofficial alliance in the hope of removing a few "threats" from the Genesis region. This granted us enough breathing room to mine, build, and refine our tactics even further so that when the time came we could execute a level of murder never before seen by the majority of Genesis locals. With our ships rebuilt and our spirits raised high, it was time to reform Genesis into a stronger region by removing the weaker corporations and individuals. A large goal, yes, but something that defines the very intent and goal of NOCTS. Having one of our pilots fall into a clone-stasis period of recovery for upcoming months we were short a pilot but remained as deadly as ever.

Genesis never saw it coming. The entrance of NOCTS into a system always led to the death of multiple pod-pilots and the claiming of cargoholds. Screams and anger filled the communication channels throughout the two weeks of our artwork and as our victims increased their level of tactics we adapted quickly to counter new manuvers. The complete destruction of multiple corporations occured along with large amounts of financial damage to the greater Amarr loyalist corporations, with individual pilots, preforming scouting missions to see the great relics of history found within the Genesis region, being quickly eliminated and sent back onto their path home. After two weeks of destruction, chaos, and bloodshed the total amount of destroyed ships reached 111 with an estimated 2.8 billion ISK worth of module and ship damage. The estimated module return from our victims reached over 450 million ISK, safely within our hangers. Below you can find the list of recorded ship losses from our many victims:

The ruins of Genesis have allowed the smarter pilots to prosper and the stronger corporations to stand firm. Those that have survived retain my respect for their adaptability in the face of danger or learning the skills needed to push us away. I can give no other word but 'worthy' for those that can stand alongside the blood and murderer while keeping a logistical head on their shoulders, and respectfully request that you keep Genesis that way in the future. It is a sacred place to many and those who can not defend her do not deserve her beauty or resources. Again I am proud of all members of Suffoco noctis, for while we remain a very small corporation that does not dampen our works of art. Let it be know that we are not so quick to kill and succeed because of any one pilot, but because of the friendship and loyalty within NOCTS. The sharing of a similar goal and the will to see the toughest situations through together makes them heroes in my eyes, and I can only hope that other corporations remember the same when they see their own members. A corporation that embraces kindness and teaching amoungst each other, learning how to trust the actions of each pilot, will glow as brightly as the stars themselves.

However, you really know how to write a story. Great read, very nice.

Read your replies Malka. You were not rude, but I was'nt gingerly to you anyway.

You guys inflicted some serious damage, but its still "Apocalypse" ;)

That kill in specific was by Suuji's hand, so he can fill you in further. Apparently he was pretty upset in local, simply taken aback that someone wouldn't ransom a Hulk.
