PANDORA CAMPAIGN : Virtus Crusade Combat Roam | Ref 48

Ad Majorem Virtus Gloriam

The Virtus Crusade has declared a state of absolute hostility across the cluster. Operating under the uncompromising doctrine of "No blue. No mercy," the Virtus Crusade Combat Roam is a direct mandate to project power and eliminate capsuleers across the most volatile, war torn regions of New Eden. This campaign runs from 4 June YC128 to 4 July YC128, calling upon pilots to demonstrate the might of the alliance by leaving a trail of wreckage in their wake.

The Wartorn Theaters

The combat roam targets regions deeply scarred by ongoing factional and pirate warfare, including Essence, Verge Vendor, The Citadel, Placid, The Black Rise, Metropolis, Heimatar, Devoid, and The Bleak Lands. The strategic landscape of these territories has been heavily destabilized by recent events, such as the April YC128 announcement by CONCORD and AIR regarding the establishment of the new Exordium region, which has shifted political and military attention across the cluster.

In these chaotic zones, several major conflicts are currently active, providing ample targets for the Virtus Crusade:

• Vivanier Suppression is active, with Gallente Federation Militia forces attempting to drive Guristas Pirates out of sovereign space.
• Vard Defense is active as Amarr Empire loyalists attempt to hold the line against tribal aggression.
• the latest log notes that the operational tempo in the Heimatar warzone remains relentless as militia forces sustain offensive plexing efforts against the entrenched Amarr bulwark.
• Capture Kourmonen is active; the latest log notes that Amarr militia forces have sustained intense frontline pressure, securing twenty-one critical FW complexes within the system.

A Legacy of Bloodshed

The current bloodshed follows a brutal string of recent military conclusions that have left these regions littered with wreckage and vulnerable targets:

• Advantage Auga concluded on 4 May YC128; outcome: militia forces saturated the system with offensive advantages, securing the system in absolute success.
• Advantage Vard concluded on 24 May YC128; outcome: tactical operators flooded the Heimatar gateway, executing targeted field objectives to build overwhelming advantage.
• Angel Complex Capture in Siseide concluded on 27 April YC128; outcome: the campaign ended in complete failure for the militia as the Angel Cartel achieved their objectives and secured the Anvil of Hed.
• The Siege of Olfeim concluded on 16 April YC128; outcome: the intense incursion transformed the typically quiet pockets of the Olfeim system into a blazing battleground.

With the cluster still reeling from these massive territorial shifts, the Virtus Crusade Combat Roam seeks to capitalize on the chaos. Pilots are instructed to show no mercy, engaging all targets of opportunity and leaving a trail of destruction in the name of the Virtus Crusade.
