New Dawn for ROSS

Nearly 1 year ago, Amarrian forces leased a contract to Pandemic Legion to assault and destroy a militia Starbase in the Auga Star System that they had failed to destroy many times before.  The starbase was own by ROSS and enjoyed by many pilots who needed a tactical safe in the Auga Star System.

Since the destruction of the stabase, commanders have been waiting for their moment of retribution.  Late last week they had their chance when a massive fleet assembled on a large stabase owned by Pandemic Legion's puppet corporation 'Pandemic Region'.  Pandemic Region is a plantary customs office denial corporation supported by Pandemic Legions pilot feeder corporation and founders of Pandemic Legion, 'SniggWaffe'.

The Pandemic starbase was destroyed along with every Pandemic 100% tax customs office in the system.  The customs offices were replaced with legitimate offices.

The operation is a resounding success and ROSS pilots celebrated the opportunity to participate.

Just a few days later ROSS was emmitted into the Electus Matari alliance.  The relationship between the corporation and the alliance has its history in the early days of the struggle for freedom from Amarrian slavery when ROSS emerged as one of the Minmatar Militia's top combat organisations.

Communications between the two organisations were very positive.  ROSS has expressed considerable respect for the alliance and pledged its unwavering support for its goals.

ROSS fleet commanders are working hard to reinforce their combat role and train new commanders. 

In seperate interviews, members of the corporation expressed pride of their past achievements and look forward  to flying with Electus Matari members.  It is a new chapter in ROSS' long standing history in which every ROSS member can continue to be proud.


As the war between the Black Rebel Rifter Club (BRRC) and the Royal Order of Security Specialists (ROSS) comes to an end, BRRC CEO Miura Bull is being hunted.  He remains elusive as he uses insta-warps and tacticals to evade the onslaught of ROSS and allied pilots bearing down on him.

According to local subspace frequency chatter there was a friendly salute to ROSS members and an acknowledgement of our previous ROSS publication, "What makes a good fight?", which references  Miura Bull's blog on that topic.

"...good read and gf for that engagement," said Miura Bull.  He went on to explain that in the fog of battle his corporations "gf" was overlooked and he gave a belated "gf" in local.

Since the battle other BRRC members have referenced engagements with hardened ROSS combat pilots.  One such blog states:

"GFs were exchanged after each combat and while Bengal Bob had friends available, they graciously stood by as he destroyed my ships single handedly.  I thought that showed some class." - Jack Dancer blog

Battles continued to rage when ROSS members formed a dragnet over 3 systems to catch Jankk Vaale (BRRC) even in his Reaper.  His previous movements were noted and he was finally snagged in Hror Solar System trying to evade capture.  His capsule tried a daring escape but was also snagged.  Prior to the destruction of his capsule ROSS CEO Amun Khonsu had a friendly exchange as ROSS members involved in the dragnet demanded that he allow them on the killmail.  He was then put down and his frozen corpse returned to him in good faith.

The BRRC has a group of real "stand up" pilots for a pirate corporation and has considerable potential as their pilots grow more experienced in combat.   Though the end of the war is here, we at ROSS look forward to seeing them in space.  

Our hats off to all of the BRRC pilots and its CEO Miura Bull!  Thanks for the fun and the laughs!

Many of the BRRC pilots blog their experiences.  To view CEO Miura Bull's blog, visit: Brutor Bullfighter
"What makes a good fight?" Black Rebel Rifter Club (BRRC) CEO, Miura Bull, asks and attempts to address in his recent blog.

In the blog he states, 

"Generally speaking this could be a difficult question to answer, everybody has posted up the obligatory gfgf in local after a battle, each and every one of you has a different opinion on what is a good fight. When posting up the gf in local we don't always mean it in its true form, but to myself and many others it is the obligatory gentlemen's nod, the handshake after the fight. For example every single time I run into one of those annoying as hell insta-locking camps, if I have the chance before I am podded, I will offer up a gf in local."

Yet, when the Royal Order of Security Specialists (ROSS) engages him in battle, they receive anything but a 'gf' in local.  ROSS corporate culture is one of extraordinary courtesy after the most arduous battles in both victory and defeat.  One is hard pressed not to find it common among ROSS fleets to throw out a 'gf'' in local and we respect those adversaries who do the same.  Yet, after the numerous recent engagements ROSS members are still waiting for that 'gf' in local from Miura Bull.

Since a 'gf' in local doesn't seem to be his forté as he would like people to believe, perhaps his strategy is one of true 'gentry'.  He continues in his blog, 

"Speaking on a personal level, a good fight for me is when the odds are stacked against me and I am outnumbered in the manner that I will get a good fight but not so much that I'm blobbed into oblivion."

However, this is not what seemed to take place in the Auner Star System two days ago when ROSS pilots warped into a mission plex in search of a suspected Amarr wartarget frigate, which was located and destroyed.  Miura Bull and his band of rag tag griefers, seven in total, warped in on top of the 2 ROSS pilots and immediately engaged.  Amun Khonsu and Bengal Bob, quickly sprung into action to repel the attack against the 3.5 to 1 odds.  Miura Bull was the first to go down and quickly reshipped to an anti-frigate destroyer class vessel to return to the fight as Amun Khonsu and Bengal Bob,with their frigate class vessels, skillfully wiped out the blobfest.  Miura Bull was left on his own in his thrasher among the debris and subsequently put down.

By the battles end ROSS was down one Jaguar while BRRC had lost nearly its entire fleet, 3 Rifters, 1 Sentinel, 1 Thrasher and 1 Jaguar.  One BRRC wolf fled the scene in utter fear after it was nearly destroyed. ROSS is still waiting its 'gf' in local.  All of the BRRC involved in the failed gank logged off of the game without the 'obligatory gentlement's nod' spoken of by their CEO.

The questions remain, "When will we get the fair fight that they speak about in their blog?", "How long must we wait for that 'gentlemen's nod' in local from Muira Bull?" Even a better question, "When will they organise and bring that 'fair' fight?"  Perhaps, ROSS will be waiting a long time as the BRRC CEO leaves his corpmates to die at the hands of ROSS members while he roams far away in Heild.

So, what is a good fight according to Miura Bull?  Obviously, not what he claims it is.
