Starting now, NMG. will do a full reset except for the following groups:

Ones we own
Advocated Destruction
SI Radio
Warped Aggression
and Imperial Order (gg guys) who we will reset soon but not right now.

tl;dr NMG. Is leaving Providence, but as a nice **** you to the neighbors who've sold us down the river for a weaker alliance they could more easily control, CVA will be replacing us in our pocket. The sov transfer should be concluded shortly. Our neighbors wanted to play Big Boy 0.0 so bad; have fun ^^

After holding my tongue so long, god damn this is going to feel nice to write. I make this post both for that reason and so no one misconstrues our motives or stance in any way.

About a month ago when Pandemic Legion hit the scene, certain alliances broke the traditions of the previous three major sov warfare incidents and decided not to join in the defense of the region. Some of them even helped PL both overtly and covertly. This was a calculated political act to isolate their Provi political rival DK. When -A- came under attack directly and was essentially removed as a player, open civil war in Providence was assured. \\

Long story short, DK lost. But not before nearly both sides had daily chats and weekly meetings of useless pontification, constant reorganization, obvious political grandstanding, and what I can only describe as ineffectual and petty childishness. Daisho/SODA/DACO began their rather ham fisted and obvious attempts to isolate anyone who stood with -A- or with DK. The smaller Catch alliances caught the brunt of it initially.

Imperial Order held its ground against Kadeshi while we were away. They showed a lot of heart. And in fact, so did BDEAL for a time though they distanced themselves from everything rather quickly. When NMG. came home, I'm proud to say we stomped Kadeshi and its allies for almost 3 days non stop. To the point our competitor Mercenary Coalition got involved, for reasons which I can only speculate on (contract, taking out the competition, favors called in by M Corp) and all of which are very flattering ;)

CVA's entry into the conflict shooting everyone meant our EU TZ was outnumbered, and lack of Provi ally support left our USTZ unable to make strong progress. And then we got the information that after all the talk and transparent political maneuvering, some of our neighbors had set Kadeshi and friends blue. They were perfectly willing to standby and watch, much like they had with DK against PL. Of course CVA's involvement made that a little difficult, but it became clear from intel that we were getting cut out and even if CVA was defeated, we'd get officially backstabbed when it was over.

Heh well sorry to break their train of thought, but that's not how this story is going to end. NMG. has come out very well financially during the course of our stay in Providence and unlike the actual 0.0 alliances who live there, ours was always first and foremost a financial interest in living in 0.0 We've come out way ahead and after having to deal with the near constant whining and repeated false starts of post-AAA Provi, I dont think any of us will really miss the neighborhood. While I would have loved to have sold the stations, but failing that I will use our last act as residents of the region to do what my corp loves to do for a living: make people's lives hell.

CVA is an enemy who at least has earned a measure of respect. If someone is to take our space, I'd rather it be them. And so I am giving Aralis a nice head start in what I truly hope is a campaign which sees the old Providence restored.
