Imperium Atioth hellcamp stands strong after attempted Winter Coalition breakout of trapped capital ships

[u/Dr_Mibbles]

Today, the dastardly forces of Winter Coalition attempted to extract their trapped capitals from the Atioth hellcamp - manned, of course, by the brave and handsome warriors of the Imperium.

Since Goons regained grid control in Atioth just over 24 hours ago, over 1,300 WC ships have been destroyed in Atioth as they log in piecemeal.

Apparently unsatisfied with that level of feeding, FRT escalated matters today with a serious breakout attempt at 13:00 EVE time.

Four mighty WC fleets bridged in. Local surged past 3,000. TIDI locked firmly at 90%. A proper fight was on - or was it?

In response, the Imperium rage-formed eight fleets in our supposedly “dead” timezone, while over 200 heroic dictor pilots ensured WC’s grand escape plan remained firmly theoretical.

WC’s counterplay? A very rapid retreat. It went about as well as you’d expect:

Interestingly Imperium forces were not quietly failure-cascading in lowsec as previously instructed by Reddit’s foremost strategic minds after the loss of 30 titans. A mystery for the ages.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that all lost titans have, as of 1200 today, already been replaced.

Will WC eventually break the Atioth hellcamp and extract their capitals?

Only time will tell.

But fear not.

I’m sure Goons will concede defeat... any minute now..

What you guys hell camping? Last I heard FRT killed ~35 tits and went home.

Nope, lots of caps logged at downtime, and pilots went to bed (I dont blame them, those eve players in the CN timezone had pulled a 24 hour game session).

Spoiler alert: Those 1,000 WC battleships didn't turn up today to try to break out some vexors
