| 0s | New Eden. |
|---|---|
| 2s | From landmarks steeped in history to solar systems made infamous |
| 5s | by high stakes endeavors and savage conflict, |
| 8s | locations scarred by war are abundant there. |
| 16s | Among these, a system on the south-eastern fringes of known space stands out. |
| 22s | The system of C-J6MT. |
| 26s | The site of some of New Eden’s most notorious sieges and violent battles |
| 30s | C-J6 has seen so much conflict |
| 33s | that it has become a core part of capsuleer history. |
| 41s | As more capsuleers than ever set out to find space to call their own, |
| 45s | and the full influence of empyreans gripped New Eden, |
| 52s | the siege of C-J6MT was to become a defining moment. |
| 57s | It was at this time that RED Alliance, previously dominant in Insmother |
| 63s | and to whom the region served as their first stronghold, |
| 67s | was being put to the sword by a coalition led by Lotka Volterra. |
| 74s | They had become intent not simply on domination, but on annihilation. |
| 80s | Weakened in part by isolationism and hubris and riven by desertions |
| 84s | after what had been a calamitous defense of their homeland, |
| 90s | all that remained of the besieged RED Alliance was a hardcore few. |
| 97s | Determined to put up a fight. |
| 102s | Determined to make a last stand. |
| 106s | Refusing to lay down and die – despite being hopelessly outnumbered. |
| 114s | Although the system would soon be lost |
| 118s | at a huge cost to the victors, |
| 122s | the remnants of RED Alliance quickly instigated a guerrilla war throughout Insmother. |
| 131s | They sought to reduce the economic infrastructure of their usurpers, |
| 136s | while rebuilding their own fleet and resources. |
| 141s | Inevitably, they did so, |
| 144s | while evolving their tactics and deepening their combat experience in the process. |
| 156s | And so it was, that with the help of allies, including Tau Ceti Federation |
| 161s | and a rapidly ascendant Goonswarm, |
| 164s | RED Alliance was at last able to reclaim lost systems and rebuild. |
| 172s | Over the years since, the frontlines in and around Insmother |
| 177s | have continued to ebb and flow with destruction, |
| 181s | as systems are lost to invaders and invariably retaken, including C-J6 itself. |
| 189s | It seems, however, that whenever a threat looms large, |
| 196s | C-J6 becomes a rallying point for defenders to turn back the tide. |
| 199s | For the many thousands of capsuleers who have fought for a place in New Eden to call home, |
| 205s | the siege of C-J6 represents a moment in time when their role in New Eden was truly defined, |
| 210s | by the blood they spilled and the wingmen who bled with them. |
| 214s | This was a time of great tactical evolution. |
| 219s | It was a time of unprecedented unrest. |
| 223s | A time when loyalty and discipline could be levied as firepower. |
| 228s | And a time when acts of great skill inspired others toward their own acts of heroism or abandon. |
| 236s | Those who feel the greatest affinity with C-J6 will always come back for it. |
| 242s | This is the legacy of C-J6. |
