Largest Space Battle in History July 30th, 2013

For the past two months, two massive groups of EVE pilots, the coalition CFC and the alliance Test Alliance Please Ignore (shortened to TEST), have been waging war over the Fountain region. These two gigantic war machines were both coveting the valuable moons in the region after the changes to moon mineral distribution in Odyssey, our latest expansion to EVE Online. TEST had previously taken the region from IT Alliance in 2011 and had been comfortably holding it ever since. However, in the past week, the war had turned against TEST, and the CFC was beginning to make steady progress.

6VDT-H in Fountain was the traditional home system for TEST in the region. While not strategically important at the time (TEST had moved to Karan), it was where the alliance had previously staged itself when Fountain was invaded. Recently, the CFC damaged the station enough to activate its shield reinforcement timer, which gives the station invulnerability for a limited amount of time before having to be repaired. When this happened, TEST decided to drop everything to rush to its defense, deciding to make it their symbolic last stand. If the station timer was lost, it would likely mark the end of any resistance in Fountain from TEST, and decide the outcome of the entire campaign.

Years ago a battle like this would have crashed the game and broken the node.
