The Battle of Caldari Prime was a month ago, but there was much behind the scenes that still haven't come out. In this new chronicle by CCP Falcon, we look at the planning that built up to Operation Highlander and the final days of the CN Shiigeru.

Well, I have to say I am disappointed in Heth as this story, and he himself, unravels, though I can't decide whether to call it disappointment in his actions or his portrayal. Be that as it may, I thought this was fantastically well written and enjoyed it immensely.
Keep it up Falcon, I agree with the above guys, you really ought to be forced to write more of these :) |

An absolutely fantastic read. Could imagine each and every thing happening right there as I read it. Also this gave me a whole new perspective on Caldari as a people, a much more positive one. Still hate Heth though.
Keep up the good work CCP Falcon. |

It was written is such a way that you could easily follow it.
Very curious in the Show up of ECAID, though... Hrmmm.

They were just checking that the weapons were working alright. They must be very dedicated to their jobs to be there in the middle of a fire fight. I'm sure hitting the titan was just a coincidence. It was rather big, after all. |

It would appear that he may be starting to become a little desperate to assert his authority. Who knows where things will go from here.
Thanks for the kind words guys, they're very much appreciated. I have to admit that putting work out there in front of everyone makes me a little nervous.

Curious that the blapping of CONCORD seemed to get overlooked. But otherwise I'll say for a first Chron I hope it is the first of many Falcon. Excellent work, will be reading again and am looking forward to reading more. Enjoy your gaming.

Overall, very nice. Explaining that DUST soldiers are superior because they are cloned felt weak. It would have been better to explain why that copied brain is better rather than just telling that it's cloned.
- Perhaps clones are superior physically due to purpose-grown battle bodies?
- Their clones can be implanted (thought interfaces, targeting computers, etc.) more cost efficiently, because skills to use those implants are not lost upon death, unlike on mortal soldiers?
- Or that they can be implanted at all, because the clones can be grown around the implants, instead of needing to do difficult brain surgery?
- Or that the soldiers had time to practice the assault several times with live ammunition, because "death is obsolete"?
Of course, it is probably wise to steer clear of trying to explain how skill training works. Stating "you are in a computer game" is pretty bad in an in-character chronicle. Unless the people involved happen to be on a full VR environment.
In my opinion, other than the exposition on clone soldiers which are cloned, the actions scenes were good. The very beginning and the very end were quite excellent. |

Nice work, because of CCP Falcon.
Edit: I did find the part of the story that concerned the ECIAD capsuleers a bit harder to comprehend than the rest of the story. Not just why they were there, but I had trouble visualizing who was who and doing what. Nightmares - A short story by Ch+¬ Biko |

I was deeply saddened by the ending. Mad props to Yanala. This is the kind of quality writing that will pull people to the game just like it did to me. Also, kitten Heth. I was supportive of his ideas, but we're starting to see that he himself is weak and should be demoted according to the very policies he laid out for his people.
Thank you, Falcon. I look forward to your books :)

Thanks for the feedback, and for the kind words.
I didn't dig too deeply into the biological differences between standard troops and DUST mercs because this chronicle wasn't intended to be an infodump or serve as a tech article.
It was intended just as a narrative to show March 22nd from a selection of vastly different viewpoints. CCP Falcon -á || -á EVE Community Team -á || -á EVE Illuminati -á || -á Live Events Organizer

As someone who was pretty riveted through out the event I am a bit confused by this factual inconsistency. I was not in game but I was following events. The first announcement of the engagement was that the Shiigeru destroyed a Concord ship using the Oblivion weapon. During the recharge time of the weapon, Gallente and hostile capsuleer forces jumped in and engaged the Shiigeru. The Cyno interdiction field went up preventing any supporting forces to jump to the Shiigeru's defense.
It seems that a different set of events were detailed here. |

What players can do is not the same as the empires can do. CONCORD keeps a much tighter leash on us. The Empires however have more control over what they do (The Federation controls Cyno jammers in their territory, Navies can use DDD in any sec space)
There are no inconsistencies here. The only thing I saw that would come close is a Creodron Swarm Launcher, and even then it's entirely plausible that does exist but it just isn't available to player DUST Mercs (ECAID being ECAID, they get all the shiny prototype toys). Also, sometimes weapons get Chronicle/Cut-scene power (such as the HMG, but then again it was shooting a thin-skinned transport) http://www.dust514.org - the unofficial forum for everything DUST 514 http://www.dust514base.com - the blog site with everything else DUST 514 you need
