AAR FOR SKARKON EVACUATION
We began to form in Gelfiven at 19:00 NEST where we formed a fleet of roughly 60 pilots with a focus on armored battlecruisers and the appropriate logistics cruisers. Between ourselves and our allies, Republic loyal capsuleers showed up in force. There was also a good number of international capsuleers working through the EDENCOM Defense Initiative and the Arataka Research Consortium who came out to support our operation. We completed our pre-flight preparations and departed towards Skarkon at 19:45, escorting the Fenrir-class freighter On The Way Home to our destination.
The freighter took a pit stop in the system of Ennur while we went into Skarkon to clear the inbound gate. After we engaged the first Triglavian Werpost defense fleet, ships from the Seykal, Krullefor, and RSS arrived on the scene. There was initially some confusion and friendly fire with so many different forces on grid, causing us to jump back into Ennur and regroup before jumping back into Skarkon and clearing the rest of the Triglavians on the gate. After the gate was cleared, we brought On The Way Home into the system and docked it in the Electus Matari Astrahus, Invaders Must Die.
With the freighter now in system, we proceeded to clear the station and the orbits of Planet II and Planet V of any Triglavian forces. Once finished we brought the freighter to the station to begin loading up the first group of refugees. While we were loading people from the station onto the freighter, the Seykal Bounty Hunter, Sesli Ashok, asked us to take several large groups of refugees into our care, turning them over to us in Invaders Must Die. After Sesli’s people were transferred into our care, we finished our evacuation operations on planets II and V before bringing the freighter back to our Astrahus to load Sesli’s refugees and depart the system. After clearing a few small waves of Triglavians on our citadel we left the system and our trip back was uneventful.
I would like to thank all of our allies and all of the various other capsuleers who assisted us today. We did what we could for the people of Skarkon.
