The Insurgency story.
First of all plz forgive my shocking spelling and punctuation. Its been a while since I was at school.
It all started in Fountain with celestial apocalypse, we were there fighting xelas and sometimes BOB, the xelas fight was going great and we controlled the middle part of fountain no problem, we even took the xelas outpost in pnqy for a while, which was fun, this was done with the help of ASCN.
Fountain was getting a little boring, as we had no industry, all we done was fight, when this dried up we didnĘt really know what to do, even though fountain is a massivly rich region, I want it back.
Anyways our friends from Outbreak joined us, BOB sent a couple of its corps out to us for fun PVP, who said BOB arnt sporting?. Anyways this was good, with BOB switching the corps. Although the PVP was nice we knew that if we continued this celes apoc would fall behind, everyone was getting these cool Supercaps, BOB had titans camping our station, we wanted these toys, also the tourney was close, and we decided to do that, so we voted on a name, and INSRG was born.
The tourney wasnĘt so good, lots of stress, we thought hey lets try the north again, we had friends in Morsus Mihi and RZR, and maybe we could go up there and carve out a little space. I recruited on EVE-O for corp members and also tried a little for good corps to join the Alliance.
Untill we recruited more corps it was mainly celes apoc, we went up roaming and had some nice fights with phalanx, we thought hmmm, maybe this is what we need, we relocated to HPA, then to avoid 9-2, we went to PF-Q, this was to be our home.
Now its hard to say who joined first as the last 6months have been crazy, but im sure it was corps like starlancers, corp1, muchos love to C4W3, hes been a superb guy to have around for INSRG as have many.
Our figths were becoming fun, more and more ppl wanted to join celes apoc, probably our long history of PVP, some more joined the alliance too, corps like phantom, hobos, etc, before we knew it we had a chance to maybe take space, we eyed the cons of 304, this was a rich region of branch controlled by CPU and GSA, we attacked it with everything we had, this was when NNC was born.
NNC were Rare, GSA, CPU, STEALLA, Phoenix, sometimes phalanx, and to the end ME, some others brought token groups I forget the names.
The struggle for 304 was around AH, this system was the key to the cons, the fight around there were epic to say the least, 100s and 100s of ships destroyed in each attack, This is where INSRG learned how to co-oridinate alliance wise. We stood alone the way we wanted it.
Eventually the fighting ended, CPU struck a deal to keep the outpost in 1ix and in turn moved out of 304, this was the same for GSA.

This was by no means the end, from then on 304 was constantly attacked, INSRG had no time to regroup and months of combat was hurting our wallets, this needed to end, an attack plan was wrote up, this was to be against the 2 of the larger NNC alliances, STELLA and PHAL.
While planning this TRI sent down a number of its corps to base from P-V, 2 jumps from our home, this was purely for PVP and kept the lads on there toes. A number of good fights were had and TRI eventually left.
The weakness to the enemy systems were Z-K, this was a choke point where you must travel through, this was also a great defence too as when our gangs travelled in they would cut us off, the battle for Z-K was planned and we were ready to go.
The very night of the planned siege of Z-K, we had a surprise, Outbreak and evoke jumped in its supercaps and freighters to our home system of PF-Q. Oh superb, were they hired by NNC/, we decided to go ahead with the attacks on Z-K. our entire alliance moved in and sieged, as expected NNC put up a superb fight, they knew lose ZK, lose the war. Up to 400 ppl were in this system at some points and thinking that Outbreak and Evoke were about to jump supercaps on us all the time didnĘt help.
This siege lasted a week, NNC were fought back, INSRG had sov 1, the battle of Z-K was over, at this point A LOT of pressure was put on us by morsus mihi, and to a degree RZR, both were still blue. They allowed NNC to base attacks into our home systems from BKG and LXW, something I never liked, now they were asking for more and more, things we couldnĘt give.
Speed was now the key, we must eliminate STELLA, and take the QCWA outpost, an op was drawn up, and I put my war face on, arghhhhhhhhh.
INSRG field 85 capitals and a massive BS fleet. We jumped in and the sun was blotted.the siege lasted 3 days, no NNC defended QCWA and I was taken by surprise and INSRG was ready for a long fight, we had taken our first outpost, huzzah.
Now the stronger alliances of the north were taking a little more interest in INSRG. Morsus Mihi quite rightly removed us from blue although INSRG and MM didnĘt wish for a pos warfare,, intel was a massive attack against INSRG planned for a Sunday a few weeks back.
This came in the form of a MM cap fleet consisting of 5 Titans and 10 mothership, very impressive MM. alongwith the usually NNC fleet.
A gang was formed and we put our heads together to see if we could take this, we couldnĘt at that time, maybe if we had an organised op, but the 5 doomsdays would have been nasty. That and the lag was horrid..
As the night wore on it became obvious that this was a show of strength and a warning, this did make me wonder if we could complete our objectives. We could hide from the titans or we could just do what INSRG does, and jump in half arsed and just get on with it.

Plans were made for taking the phoenix space, the outposts were the real goal, 2 weeks of planning and logistics went into this, my head was hurting by now.. SUNDAY last week was the day.
INSRG managed to form up with a 300 man gang that day, massive amounts of Caps and supercaps, 100s of tech 2 sniper BS, when Kinsy had to upgrade the vent server to over 300 ppl I knew that the war was over. The siege was done in one night.
PHAL then asked for peace. A fair deal was then given to PHAL to remove assets out of Branch as they had fought us with honor.
Respect to our enemies for making INSRG into a SERIOUS fighting force that grows each day.
To the guys who said I would hold celes apoc back by not adapting, your rite, but that made us work harder for INSRG.
Iv missed so much out I imagine, and ppl can fill in the holes, 6 months on constant PVP, constant fleet fights, constant fun, late nights, early mornings.
Yes I am the leader of INSRG, but was merely a face, and a contact. the real work and respect goes out to all the PVPers here who put RL on hold.. Welsh, Butter, saltire, dacovale, C4W3, fedain, ewokpoacher, karazack, oh my so many amazing ppl, ermm shariona for keeping me straight. Kinsy for amazing logistics, cenila, JUGGER. Jimmysav for being at EVERY pos siege, ur the man. All the commanders of INSRG for planning and organisation Cuisinart for the amazing forums Agmar for giving us the supercaps. Iceinferno for being a superb diplomat, franky for being the hauling king. I could go on and on tbh.
I hope you enjoyed the read.

well mr solo, you are a man of honor and from our side much respect to what you have achieved.
we have lost branch and lost our home, we tryed to bring it EVERY time and i guess we did :)
Phoenix Allainz is going to regroup in empire, not sure what the future will bring for us, but most likely we will disband - too many corps left allready several weeks ago. They just couldnt counter the force that was put on them.
For the write up - i con confirm all the happenings and yes it isnt complete - by far not, but the milestones are correct and tbh you cant do a complete writeup for 6 months of insanity. --

Damn good writing. I have personally always liked to meet you in battle. The tendency to jump in first and then later decide whether or not the fight was winnable really earned my respect.
E-Peen or lack of it. Something about pew pew, I think.

the last 6 months in Eve are the most fun I've had in any mmo ever.
The feeling of satisfaction last night and sadness seeing our friends Phal surrender was amazing. I was surprised at just how gutted I was that it was over.
I learnt my pvping with UKC in tenerifis and then in fountain/branch with Fatal. I know what it's like to lose these stations and I'm pretty sure we're going to have to be on our toes to keep hold of them
Much <3 Insrg I suspect our challenges are just begining. :)

I'm going to get my arse kicked for posting here, but I'm going to anyway.
Great write-up darth, sounds like the whole things has been a blast (if at times stressful). We have always been on opposide sides of the fence, even when I was an ebil pie-rat and you were a noble crusader for peace and justice, but you have always been my nemesis of choice.
Funny to see how much Celes has changed over the years, both in membership and aims, but it still 'feels' like the same old corp. That is an impressive thing to have managed, and you deserve to be proud of that.
And Insurgency. Who would have thought that an alliance tourney :fake corp: could have become something so solid? Good stuff.
I know how many people used to joke about Celes being stuck in 2004 (and I guess for some those jokes were based in a bit of jealousy, especially by those involved in POS warfare), but you guys really are bang up to date - for better or worse.
I hope that Eve remains fun for you, your corp, and your alliance, you deserve it.

Finally something on CAOD that was worth reading.
Never argue with idiots, they will just drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience. |

Too many chicken's in your roost. Lets see in 8months to a year's time, seen this Celes cycle over and over each time. Leadership will either go afk or you'll get hit hard by some random alliance and you'll be so soft your bandwagon corps will run off and it will be lil ol celes again. Good to see you carve out some space though.

As you know Darth, I have not always been your or Celes's biggest fan maybe its because you have always been challenging enemies, however I must express my admiration for what you have achieved and the fact that you recognized that there was a need for change.
Congratulations Insurgency and goodluck in the future.
I must say I enjoyed that write up.

EVE is a tough place to be going it alone and trying to build something from scratch. Write ups like this give so many pilots hope and aspirations to what is possible with a good team and high motivation.

Heh, you really don't know the INSRG I do
There is a core of very capabable and very determined corps who drive the alliance forward.
Its been said many times but INSRG for the past 6 months has been eve on hard mode. Any corp who has stuck through it against all odds isn't to be taken lightly
