The target: RKK Shipyards in F-TE1T and a fetus Titan.

The Attacking force: 1000+ coalition pilots including around 100 capital ship pilots according to various reports.

The Defending Force: 1000+ alliance forces and the target POS.

The Outcome: After action reports and killboard stats put the losses on the Attacking force sides at around 50 capital ships. Apparently in an effort to limit lag in the system containing the battle CCP limited the number of pilots allowed in to around 700. This seemed to have favored the defenders as they simply dug in. The attackers continued to hurl themselves against the defenders in wave upon wave of capital and support ships. A quote from one of the leaders of the alliance defenders goes as follows:

"Pure insanity. Coalition dreads keep jumping in. Alliance ships are repping POS and killing them like mad. At least 12 Coalition dreads down so far. Coalition Dreads are focusing on the POS.

POS shields holding..."

Sustained Drednaught wave attacks against the POS began to take thier toll on the defenders until the eventual loss of the POS, shipyard, baby Titan and all its trimmings. The same commander as was quoted before reports the news of the shipyard loss...

"POS is down. Cap array is dead.

MANY Coalition dreads down. Chances are every Coalition Cap left here is going to die."


Pyrrhic victory for the Coalition? Perhaps...

Major loss for the Alliance? Perhaps...

A battle for the ages?

DEFINATELY.
