Concluded Campaigns

The operational timeline for September YC128 opened with a concentrated anti-pirate suppression effort in the Heimatar region. On 4 September YC128, the Dammalin Suppression Campaign reached its conclusion. Directed by Ferrum Tempus of Dammalin Family Holdings (aligned with DammFam), this pirate plexing operation was executed for the Minmatar Republic. The opposing entity was not specified in the campaign record, but operations were strictly confined to Dammalin.

The intent of the Dammalin directive was to protect the newly established Jetunba Do'bara sanctuary settlement from encroaching criminal rot. The pirate insurgency directly threatened vulnerable refugees, demanding immediate stabilization. Tribal capsuleers executed a relentless suppression push, prioritizing rapid site closures over extended engagements. The outcome was an absolute success: 500 illicit sites were neutralized, driving system suppression from a fragile 0.8% to a definitive 100.0%, achieving Stage 5 containment. Primary operators driving this victory included Sky Lordbozo, Nihriya Kumamato, Greg Nash, Talistka, and Carmen K.

Simultaneously, on 4 September YC128, the Bosboger Suppression Campaign concluded. Also initiated by Ferrum Tempus for the Minmatar Republic, this operation targeted pirate pressure in Bosboger. The opposing entity was not specified in the campaign record. Despite a ferocious initial defense that saw hundreds of insurgency sites locked down, the tactical reality shifted violently. Hostile affiliates pivoted to decentralized, system-wide corruption generation, completely stalling the militia's momentum. The campaign ended in definitive failure as corruption skyrocketed to a maximum threshold of 100.0%, breaking the Republic's containment hold. Dominant figures in this grueling defense included DALUX MAYO, Zomp2, Foo022, phreak42x, and Sampo Kiuru.

Following the fall of the Anvil, the Alakgur Suppression Campaign concluded on 8 September YC128. Directed by Ferrum Tempus for the Minmatar Republic, this operation sought to defend a vital research facility in Alakgur against unspecified opposition. The response from independent capsuleers was explosive. Despite a vicious and sustained corruption push that temporarily elevated local corruption to 76.61%, militia forces systematically dismantled the pirate infrastructure, executing 404 total insurgency site closures. The campaign ended in a definitive success, locking suppression at Stage 5. Leading contributors included Nihriya Kumamato, AD Adams, Carmen K, Zomp2, and Foo022.

Directorate Note: The Heimatar anti-pirate theater demonstrates the volatility of insurgency mechanics. While the Republic successfully secured Dammalin and Alakgur through overwhelming counter-plexing velocity, the total collapse of Bosboger highlights a critical vulnerability to decentralized corruption tactics. The cartel's ability to pivot away from direct confrontation and saturate a system with illicit sites suggests that static defensive postures are insufficient; the militia must maintain highly mobile, high-volume suppression fleets to prevent future footholds.

Transitioning to the faction warfare front, Operation: Dal Liberation concluded on 10 September YC128. Authorized by Aliviana Alament of Virtus Crusade (aligned with Brave Collective), this offensive was executed for the Minmatar Republic. The opposing entity was not specified in the campaign record, though the theater was the highly contested system of Dal.

The intent was to shatter the Amarrian defensive bulwark known as the Sanguine Gate and return the system to tribal control. The operation began with a cold, calculated ferocity, yielding over a hundred completed FW plex events in a matter of days. However, the tactical reality shifted into a grinding war of attrition. The rising tide of Amarrian timer disruptions successfully denied the Republic the critical threshold required for full warzone control. Despite 359 faction warfare site captures, the offensive collapsed, ending in operational failure. Primary operators included Bariacs, stantonwarrior Skord, Ernlen Omanid, Kyashira Illidari, and Kiki Of Merri.

On 11 September YC128, Operation: Defend Kamela concluded. Also directed by Aliviana Alament for the Minmatar Republic, this defensive plexing campaign was waged directly against the Amarr Empire in Kamela. The Republic militia engaged in a grueling, high-stakes campaign to hold the "Bastion of the Bleak." Despite a staggering early defensive effort that saw 406 complexes secured, the sheer volume and persistence of Amarrian counter-plexing eventually shattered the frontline. The campaign ended in failure as the defensive baseline broke and the system fell to imperial forces. Dominant figures in the trenches included Kernewek Elongur, Solar Shard, Enderas Tsero, Dalinar Alba, and Ninlarra.

Following these setbacks, the exit through the gift shop campaign concluded on 15 September YC128. Created by Chigi della Rovere of G. FREE MEALS FLY CANAL, this operation was executed for the Minmatar Republic in Lamaa against unspecified opposition.

The objective was to break the heavily contested choke point of Lamaa to force open a backdoor route to Starkman Prime. The Republic vanguard systematically dismantled imperial warzone control through sheer mechanical endurance. The campaign concluded with a staggering 290 successful site captures, completely overwhelming the enemy's capacity to maintain warzone control. Imperial counter-plexing was effectively suffocated, resulting in a decisive tactical success. Key protagonists included Chigi della Rovere, ODAI2026, Ian Maecos, Kyto Hakomairos, and Orion Sa-Solo.

Directorate Note: The faction warfare front remains a theater of extreme attrition. The Republic's inability to secure Dal and Kamela despite massive offensive output indicates a highly organized, deeply entrenched Amarrian counter-plexing apparatus. However, the decisive victory in Lamaa demonstrates that when tribal forces concentrate their timer control and suffocate defensive responses, they can successfully fracture imperial supply routes. The warzone is currently defined by who can sustain the longest uninterrupted capture streaks.

On 11 September YC128, the VIRTUS CRUSADE - FACTIONAL WARFARE EXPERT campaign concluded. Directed by Aliviana Alament, this generic combat operation was executed for Virtus Crusade, Virtus Crusade Highsec Chapter, Virtus Crusade Multipass Chapter, and Virtus Crusade Treasury. The opposing entity was not specified, but the theater spanned Devoid, The Bleak Lands, Heimatar, Metropolis, Essence, Verge Vendor, Placid, The Citadel, and Black Rise. The intent was to project overwhelming combat pressure across shifting borders. The objective was achieved with absolute success, claiming 378 hostile hulls and extracting over 130 billion ISK in damages, including massive capital destruction in Kamela and Avenod. Primary operators included Aliviana Alament, Gaebrielle Theodoulos, Jom Jab, Trevelon416, and Tobias Primus.

Concluding concurrently on 11 September YC128 was the VIRTUS CRUSAUDE - BLOOD DEBT CRUSADER (WINTER CO) campaign. Also led by Aliviana Alament for the Virtus Crusade coalition, this combat operation directly targeted Fraternity., Fraternity University, and Fraternity Auxiliary (among others). The theater was not explicitly specified in the campaign record. The vanguard systematically dismantled Winter Coalition assets, evolving tactics from rapid precision strikes to brutal, grid-locking chokeholds. The campaign closed with 223 confirmed kills and 36.24 billion ISK in shattered hostile hulls, resulting in a definitive success. Leading contributors included Trevelon416, Aliviana Alament, Gangleri, Asha Explorati, and Kallumm.

On 12 September YC128, the Virtus Crusade - Defender of BRAVE Space campaign concluded. Directed by Aliviana Alament for the Virtus Crusade coalition, this operation targeted unspecified opposition across Tenerifis and Feythabolis. The mandate was to defend Brave Collective space by dismantling entrenched pirate ecosystems. After weeks of relentless combat pressure, the crusade's vanguards dictated the battlefield momentum, stripping hundreds of hostile hulls from the grid and leaving over 60 billion ISK in enemy wreckage. The operation concluded in absolute success. Dominant figures included Gangleri, Trevelon416, Dana Witherfield, Rake Kandelin, and Asha Soldati.

Directorate Note: The Virtus Crusade's multi-regional combat deployments demonstrate a highly lethal, mobile strike capability. By successfully projecting power against imperial loyalists, Winter Coalition assets, and southern pirate ecosystems simultaneously, they have established themselves as a premier kinetic force. Their willingness to absorb localized attrition to secure high-value capital executions is a hallmark of their operational doctrine.

Late September saw the conclusion of the Violence Is the Answer campaign on 30 September YC128. Created by Afne Ghasha of Aurelion Frame (aligned with The Curatores Veritatis Auxiliary), this generic combat operation was executed for Aurelion Frame against unspecified opposition.

The directive was simple: undock, find the opposition, and apply pressure to build a stronger PvP culture. The campaign evolved into a sprawling theater of war, culminating in catastrophic supercapital engagements in Amamake. Our forces shattered 145 hostile hulls, inflicting a staggering 346.88 billion ISK in economic devastation against 70 recorded losses. The campaign concluded as an undeniable, overwhelming success. Primary operators included Rodeik, Universalis Terraris, Edmotte Peaud Miromme, Don Amarr, and cwalsh412.

Also concluding on 30 September YC128 was Operation: Vard Liberation. Directed by Aliviana Alament for the Minmatar Republic, this offensive targeted the Amarr Empire in Vard. The intent was to strike at the heart of the enemy and liberate the "Burning Bulwark of Heimatar." Tribal militia forces executed a relentless schedule of offensive plexing, hammering the system's capture timers and gradually eroding enemy warzone control. The campaign successfully shattered the Amarrian bulwark. Leading contributors included Werrygg, Festur Beilius, Solar Shard, Dzonzla Iliryan, and Kyashira Illidari.

Finally, the FW Capture and Defend campaign concluded on 30 September YC128. Authorized by Aliviana Alament for DammFam, GunFam, and Ushra'Khan, this operation targeted the Amarr Empire across contested systems. The mandate was to capture and defend faction warfare complexes to break the grip of the Amarr Empire. Tribal forces closed hundreds of capture sites, exerting sustained militia pressure despite heavy counter-plexing resistance. The daily grind of site captures ensured the Republic's will could not be ignored, resulting in a successful stabilization of the frontlines. Dominant figures included DALUX MAYO, Paddington, Zodan Em, Buggs, and Laewateinn.

Directorate Note: The late September closures indicate a massive escalation in both economic warfare and territorial reclamation. The destruction of supercapitals in Amamake by Aurelion Frame operators signifies a critical vulnerability in hostile heavy asset deployment. Concurrently, the liberation of Vard proves that sustained, coordinated timer control can eventually crack even the most entrenched imperial strongholds. The momentum currently favors those willing to undock and commit to the grind.

Mission Activity

Sustained mission activity continues to shape the logistical and tactical landscape, with exactly 66 completed missions recorded during this operational window.

Jetunba Do'bara: The Hearth Reborn

The Jetunba Project is a living, evolving saga within New Eden. It begins with history: in YC107, the Minmatar Republic created Jetunba, a station in Amamake designed to be a sanctuary for freed slaves and a symbol of tribal unity. For a time it thrived, but eventually it declined and faded, remembered more as legend than as a living place. Now, years later, that ember has been rekindled. The tribes and the Ushra’Khan have declared its rebirth: Jetunba Do’bara — Jetunba: Reborn.

Stage: Jetunba Do'Bara

Jetunba Do'Bara is now LIVE.
