First the big news: CVA sov has been restored by CCP! Well yesterday evening I was nearly asleep when my attention was drawn to constant x-ing ups in the NC-chat.
I asked what op the x-ing up was for and got intel, that some Morsus Mihi guys scanned a wormhole to Providence low-sec. The NC initiated a fun-roam to the location, where CVA was disbanded due to a hack resulting in a lot of juicy targets. I guess PvP-pilgrims from all over EVE were already on their way to have some fun and through the wormhole we would get a nice shortcut avoiding a lot of boring jumps. I entered my ganky-Rupture and rushed to the WH-system in Tribute. Without further delay the 50 man gang jumped through and burnt to 0.0 space. After engaging some targets including a nighthawk, we were ordered to hold as a 200-man enemy gang was waiting on the other side. After a while, decision was made to burn back just to discover that on one of the other gates another 250 BS gang was preapring for a fight. We got intel, that they were about to engage the other guys we nearly ran into earlier. We were cought between two “titans”. Life’s short: Time to have some fun. And who says the NC blobs? At least not always…
We jumped into the 250 BS gang, target calling started and we tried to get as many ships in front of our roaring guns as we could. But quickly we realized that it wouldn’t make too much sense to stay on the battlefield any longer and warped to the outgoing gate, holding. After a while a single Typhoon entered the scenery and was called primary. While our fleet was biting through his armor and structure, the rest of the enemy fleet jumped on top of us. We were aware of the fact that they would arrive soon, but the Phoon was too juicy not to engage. Still having this nerve-wracking aggro-timer I spammed the jump button. Several adrenaline-pumping seconds past until i finally made my way to the other side.
We burnt to the WH-system where we originally arrived in Providence, just to find a big surprise: The wormhole collapsed. This was the moment when the fleet disbanded as FC wanted to get Stealth Bombers to make another approach. A lot of people in the fleet weren’t able to fly them, so we set target Tribute / Vale individually and went home the long way. The rest flew to a nearby hub to buy SBs and bombs, to engage the Providencials another time.
It took quite a while to get home and by then it was nearly 1:00 ET, which is 2:00 here in Germany. Time to go to bed. But the roam was what it was supposed to be: A whole lot of fun!

Hey Wensley, nice to hear from you. When I saw the x-ing up, FCs told me that I just had max. five minutes until their departure. Got in the Ruppy and burnt like hell. If I missed it I would have missed a big bag full of adrenaline and fun! Fly recklessly, Doc…

Good stuff. My roam must have missed all this action. Were either one of those gangs CVA?

Yepp, maybe your roam was a bit too early. I’m not sure as there was constant action and all happened very quickly. I can just remember Sev3rence guys and Freelancer Coalition.

I wonder who the two gangs were? Were they just fighting for the heck of it?

Well I guess just like the NC, a lot of alliances got attracted by the smell of fresh blood and anarchy in Providence!
The blob we jumped into was Sev3rance. The other guys I can’t remember as we (the common soldiers) never saw them. And I didn’t ask the FC.
