Tensions have been running high in the system of Floseswin, as a controversial treaty amongst Capsuleer forces has seemingly spiraled away from their Original intention. In a move that saw system ownership in the Amarr-Minmatar war zone swap between the two fighting militia forces, Lord Sarum saw fit to begin implementing the new Imperial Edict of Pax e Kilizhi Do by proclaiming a new reclaiming effort in the systems that fall under his domain. The first Planet to be singled out for has been Floseswin IV.
The announcement has caused great concern within the cluster, dividing Amarr capsuleer forces between those seeking greater clarity in the legality of the proclamation and those who openly support it. This further compounds the civil war that the Amarr Militia forces are currently engaging in, a direct result of the aforementioned “Faction Warfare treaty” between signatories and non-signatories. The reaction on the Minmatar side of the conflict on the other hand has more unified in comparison. While Republic authorities have yet to release a formal statement, several officials have expressed deep hostility to the announcements.
Minmatar capusleers were quick to react to the news, setting up a defensive cordon around the planet while evacuation efforts have begun. Several mobile depots were placed in in orbit of the planet on the 19th of this month broadcasting Evacuation locations around the planet, and 42 hours after a large number of personnel have been confirmed to have converge on these coordinates. In surprising twist to this story, these armed personnel appear to be the same group that was identified to be involved in the Aviar IV raid, led by Capsuleer Cain Aloga.
Cain Aloga fled back to the republic in the aftermath of his actions, and rumors suggested that he was engaged in Null sec operations with Matari aligned groups. When reached for comment, Mr. Aloga had this to say:
“The Amarr have stooped to terrorizing innocent civilians, openly flouting Concord interstellar law. While I am prepared to fight off the terrorist forces from the planet, all efforts must be made to protect innocent civilians from the horrors and brutality of their ‘reclaiming’. Evacuation efforts are being undertaken and security personnel have been deployed to maintaining an orderly evacuation from the planet, with safe conduct to Republic space or any other requested location guaranteed. Additional private security forces are in place to ensure successful evacuation operations.”
Mr. Aloga refused to comment on the total number that have been deployed, but eyewitness accounts places each evacuation center with a few hundred, and many more have been spotted patrolling nearby areas.
