In a desperate move to disrupt Minmatar militia operations Core Impulse (CORIM) (an Amarr militia corporation) hired Underworld Excavators Allaince (UE) to declare war on the Royal Order of Security Specialists (ROSS).
The Mercecary alliace comprised of two main corporations, Original Sin and Imperial Tau Syndicate, was paid 1 billion ISK to kill ROSS members on site and prevent them from continuing to engage in their war of freedom from slavery.
Information regarding the hired mercs was leaked in Auga local by Darkside34 (of CORIM) as they initiated the joint operation.
During the joint operation on the first day of the wardec, Underworld Excavators gathered around CORIM's Titan and Titan bridged a 25+ Battleship fleet on Auga's Republic Fleet station, followed by a mixed CORIM fleet, in an effort to camp in their targets and kill anyone who braved undocking. The smacktalk in local from UE was heavy and without reserve. ROSS members continued to watch the World Cup and place wagers on teams while UE smacked and camped for over 3 hours.
Since the initial failed assault on ROSS members, ROSS, with the help of many good friends who offered logistical support, saw opportunity to strike at the heart of the alliance.
The following engagement took place on the Auga stargate in the Kourmonen star system. UE fleet commanders (who also brought neutral fire support inflating their numbers to 10 Battleships total), believed that they were giving chase to a ROSS fleet and attempted an ambush. As they jumped into Kourmonen and engaged the ROSS fleet they found themselves scattered on the gate too far for logi support from their fellow pilots. The ROSS fleet was in position and received logi support from Militia friends as they pounded UE ship one after another. It was later realized that the UE alliance did not fit propulsion on their ships which made them easy prey. UE disengaged and accepted a loss of 3 battleships, 1 interceptor and the pilot's pod.

UE attempted a number of ambushes subsequent to their defeat in Kourmonen, each to their detriment.
The greatest shocker of the war, however, was when CORIM turned on their hired mercs in a battle that took place at the Auga Republic Fleet station. In CORIM's assault UE lost 2 Battleships and 2 Battlecruisers. Amarr battle report can be at the Amarr Militia Killboard.
Due to the feirce fighting ability of ROSS members and those who assisted, Underworld Excavators has since disbanded their alliance and dropped their wardec against ROSS accepting a resounding defeat and losing all profits they made upon the start of the war.
22 UE ships where destroyed in the war totaling 981,805,053 million ISK. The ROSS final battle report can be viewed on the ROSS Killboard.
"Fail mercs who have no business in low sec.", Amun Khonsu exclaimed in Auga local.
"High security station campers", another exclamied.
Whatever they are, they are not high quality mercenaries and the Amarr must feel scammed. That is why they turned on them and killed them in the end.
"It was good fun. Reminds me if the great Kamela Turkey Shoot", one Minmatar soldier stated on condition of anonymity.
