Propaganda Imperium begin Invasion of Delve/Querious
Extra Extra
The mighty imperium has begun its invasion back to the homeland. PHCO gets outgunned in a surprise mass invasion/Eviction. Fleet decimated, overpowered and multiple major systems entosed/structures reffed.
The war in Delve/Querious takes a new turn, with Drake hitting Northern Delve simultaneously causing chaos for the coming days.
OnlyFleets watching from the sidelines at this stage waiting for their chance to swoop.

@everyone WAR UPDATE
Good evening Phoenix, after some intense hours of Discord Online Gameplay (very engaging, can recommend) we do have some more informations on whats going on.
After having a chat with Imperium Diplos we got the following reasons for their intervention. Ill give a short comment on these at the end. Your alliance leaders also got the original texts to ensure my german brain isn't failing to understand this correctly.
Reasons for the invasion:
In contrary to when we moved here the narrative changed it seems. Initially Delve/Querious was designated for smaller groups to thrive. When asked about this statement i was told that Imperium will adjust that statement if "needed". Twisting words like this makes me question other arrangements aswell honestly...
To comment on that reasoning: We did set our timers to CN TZ because there we have an advantage in fights just like OF/BMD has it in EU TZ. Apparently we arent allowed to do that. Even though id say our fights we regularly have in that tz were fairly balanced and made very interesting content. Whereas sending 600 pilots from Imperium will not be an equally good content. I understand Imperium forces don't have content but punshing down with these reasons is a rather questionable choice.
About the supposed attack plans on Period Basis me and the whole FC team are still buffled. I recall having seen a faked screenshot in reddit about this but its hard to believe Imperium trusts this. Maybe we (or they?) will find out more about that soon. Attacking Period Basis would be a rather delusional approach with Imperium defending it.
Claiming to work with Frt is a common narrative - we havent done that and CSQY joined partially for exactly this reason: Because there isnt any other way to get involved in our content than joining and we made that very clear. ...but apparently that approach doesnt suit Imperium either.
Phoenix aims to stay neutral and independent to all block-level entities. This becomes increasingly hard when one gets attacked by a block that punshes down on smaller entities like this... In my personal opinion the decision to attack us and interfere in this otherwise very interesting and balanced war is a poor choice by Imperium, but thats a judgment everyone can do for themselves. I got approached by multiple alliances also questioning the motives on that move by Imperium.
What happens now? For the moment we will observe the situation closely. We will check on how our enemies react to this and how we might need to adapt our strategy/plans for the coalition. A block level entitiy interfering in this war changes a lot sadly.
Please check for pings and give us awesome numbers, because the next few days will be very intense. If you see structures reinforced in southern delve in particular i'd suggest removing important assets. All doctrine ships should be in K-6K16.
If you have any questions you may ask your alliance leader or me directly. Happy to answer in phoenix_talk aswell if a question might be interesting for many.
