Following the clearing of Deneb of active Evil Mystics, my sources have led me to believe that [SKV] were about to declare war on us. Before Bojan could suprise our pilots, I have been forced to formally declare war on SKV. We are the bigger guild and it would be a deprecation to us to do otherwise.

ALL SKV pilots in any circumstances whatsoever are now Kill On Site.

[ONE] requires all true Serco to hereby announce sightings of [SKV] deviants on channel 11, plus combatants willing to assist in ridding grey space of these 'dark forces' are welcomed.

Commander of Big Red One.

I'll have the Serco scrap haulers start budgeting for overtime.

There's about to be a major cleanup on isle [ONE].

Haha Lecter, very clever!!

/me sits back an watches the fireworks

No kidding. Don't these guys know that [SKV] is small because they only recruit the best pilots? They may be Itani, but they're an elite force; superior numbers only means that [ONE] is providing a target-rich enviroment.

Pshaw, they die like everyone else when you hammer posis into em! And what better way for ONE pilots to become better than by having exceptional opponents?

So what... before this you guys were buddies? Is it really necessary for a Serco guild to declare war on an Itani one?

Heh, well, one thing's for sure, Ghost, Niki & Bojan will get more practice avoiding gank squads. Good luck, boys!

I'll be over here, drinking...

War it is! We may be few, but I think you'll find we can put up a fair fight. SKV pilots have been authorized to engage ONE pilots without hesitation; superior numbers or otherwise.

SKV is waking up.

Shadow Guardians are but a few brave men and women.
We are strong enough to know our weaknesses and brave enough to face our fears.
We never give up, never surrender.
Prepare to meet your doom.

and please show up Serco?

Excerpt from Corvus News Network coverage of SKV/ONE hostilities:

"In a humiliating defeat of their policies, Skygge Vakter, more commonly known by the acronym SKV, have been openly unable to contain the forces of Big Red One ([ONE]).

CNN has learned that a large contingent of ONE fighters were recently removed from combat operations against SKV forces. A ONE official who asked to remain anonymous stated

'ONE forces were redirected as part of a tactical military redeployment from operations against SKV. Initial threat assessments of SKV's military capabilities were overstated both internally and externally. The remaining contingent of fighters will continue to contain SKV forces as needed, freeing our larger military forces to resume patrol duties and/or engage other military threats as deemed appropriate by ONE CentCom and ONE Council.
This is not to say that ONE has or will ever, ignore the threat posed by Itani forces, and especially those that claim to be peace-seeking. ONE forces are in a tactical and strategic position of dominance that allowed forces to rotate to other deployments. ONE is very much in control of the spacelanes, and no Serco citizen need worry about the ongoing hostilities.'

CNN attempted to contact SKV for comment, but calls were not returned as of the time of this publication."

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... sniff... haha, yeah.

Official SKV statement to CNN.

Since war was declared on us and hostilities started, SKV has successfully eliminated all encountered ONE forces.
Statement from anonymous ONE representative given to CNN indicates that they are indeed trying to find a way to indirectly admit their defeat and pull out of this conflict without official surrender.

Yo, this is KOP... some random number which I can't remember ... and I approve of this thread!!

Btw- who are SKV?

This is good news to hear. ONE will then have no difficulty in protecting their nation as SKV takes a more old fashioned approach to this war. The Itani task force Skygge Vakter is expanding this conflict and returning to old standards.

CNN, you can consider this my official statement:

"From this moment on, ANY pilot who considers himself affiliated with the Serco Dominion will be hailed and shot on sight by SKV pilots who will use ANY MEANS NECESSARY to destroy their target. People have gotten too used to getting friendly 1 on 1 fair fights. If SKV has superior numbers in a given situation, expect us to use them. Pilots claiming allegiance to TGFT or PA will, for the moment, be exempt. Though we may still be below full strength, the gloves are coming off. Get ready for a war."

What about VPR?

Addendum: Viper Serco will not be shot either.

=P

[VPR]'s in grayspace, smitty-poo. [SKV] is in Deneb. Let them stay where the three of them can easily hold off all the Serco nationalist guilds.

If I could GET to Deneb, and if Ellias Stand would let me dock, I would gladly help the Itani cause. But, well, there was this recent thing with the piracy, and the Itani High Council scandal, and the time I accidentally wiped Deep Blue's hard drive, destroying all Itani nation records...

Yeh I think they are still mad at me. Sorry, boys, can't help. :(

I support ya, tho! Keep fightin' the good fight an all that!

No targeting of [VPR], [TGFT], or [PA] Serco?

You're not looking for a war, you're toe-dodging pansies.

It is a slight escalation through. War against most serco scum not just war against SKV.

Will the [ONE] scum do the same?
