The 13 March Oblivion-CDM Trench Incident was a military engagement between BlockBuster019, Citizens of Orovika and Radiance, and the Cortesia Del Mar Military.
Summary of Events
BlockBuster019, part of the pirate nation Oblivion, attacked IvorySteam's Heavy Freighter in trench using a 1k Gunship.
This prompted the CDM military to deploy to Trench to attack BlockBuster019, but the relief party of Yodabird19 and Equilla failed to group up on BlockBuster019, allowing him to kill Equilla before Yodabird19 was able to join the fight, at which point he was able to win the 1k 1v1 against Yodabird19. While the CDM response team regrouped, Blockbuster019 again focused on sinking the Heavy Freighter, which he was able to do before the response team arrived.
The Cortesian response force consisting of 2 more 1ks, Kingsheep3 of Orovika in a 2k Gunship, and ItsAlreadyGold in a 12k Destroyer caught BlockBuster019 in Trench, attempting to sink him in retribution for the loss of the freighter.
BlockBuster019 was able to isolate then sink YodaBird19, then engaged the 12k Destroyer to try and score the kill.
The 12k had been caught by multiple aliens, and requested for Equiila to attempt to relieve it of the 1k, but Equiila was unsuccessful and his 1k was sunk, allowing BlockBuster019 to focus the 12k, resulting in a quick sink with the assistance of Alien ships.
Kingsheep3, who had attempted to retreat, was caught at the gate by BlockBuster019, but the fight was abandoned after BlockBuster019 realized his ship's back shield had been destroyed.
Legacy
