With a limited jump range there was only so far they could project their power into Delve, and with no safe harbour in the region itself they would find themselves exposed and fighting in the shadow of the Imperium’s own considerable supercapital fleet whenever they deployed. For the time being though PAPI’s supercapitals were held on the borders of Imperium space. In order for PAPI to push into Delve they would need the support of their supercapital fleets - their Titans and Supercarriers. Fighting in the Imperium’s backyard would be a daunting task. Since 2016 the Imperium had been building up their defensive infrastructure: Citadels, Engineering Complexes and Refineries to stage their fleets from, a private jump bridge network to speed their travel around the region and of course accumulating massive stockpiles of ships, modules and ammunition. However, Delve was a heavily fortified region. The next 3 months saw PAPI forces gain ground as the Imperium, reckoning that they couldn’t mount an effective defense of the entirety of their sprawling empire in the face of such overwhelming numbers, ceded outlying regions in a strategic move to concentrate defensive efforts in their home region of Delve.įinally, by 4 October PAPI had arrived on the Imperium’s doorstep. Shortly after, Legacy Coalition along with Pandemic Horde, Pandemic Legion, Northern Coalition, Winter Coalition and many other allies (henceforth referred to as “PAPI”) began their push west towards the Imperium-held regions of Delve, Querious, Period Basis and Fountain. Hostilities in this current war commenced on 5 July 2020 when the non-invasion pact between the Imperium and Legacy Coalition came to an end. Today, we’ll take a closer look at the Fury at FWST-8 itself and provide you with some statistics about what you the players put into creating this record-breaking battle. In it we provided some information about the prelude to this current war, going back to 2016. In October we published an article announcing that two Guinness World records had been awarded to EVE Online in the aftermath of the battle known as Fury at FWST-8.
