Operation Galahad is in it's final hours. HHoD drop ships are making jumps past Terra to Terra Firma, Capolla, Helen, Fletcher or wherever the front might be once we arrive in Davion space.
I'd like to take my hat of and salute all the Davion Loyalist pilots who came over to fight the good fight against Jade falcon for our Fed-Comm Brothers in arms and the Lyran Pilots who fought with us.
Between HHoD, C4, 22nd Argyle Lancers, Aces Wild and ARMD we put up over 15,000 fights and won the majority. We re-took several planets (if only for a few days/hours) and defended a rare few. Overall we weren't enough to stem the green tide - but without our concerted effort to put up a fight, faction play might have stalled dead where it was and simply become a ghost town. We've had dozens and dozens of pilots each play hundreds of faction play games to keep this game mode alive over a scant six weeks.
I'd like to thank LoDD, KCom, 22AL, -MS- & C4 for letting me drop with you whilst we where Steiner, it was a lot of fun. Further I'd like to thank every Merc unit that went Steiner during the operation to try to even out the fight, every Steiner unit that up'd their game to try and even out the fight - and point a fat middle finger at every pilot who jumped on the already stacked jade falcon side. I saw populations get to 14% vs 15% for an almost even fight before collapsing again to 12% vs 16%.
Finally, I'd like to thank 420, JFGG, RCJF, -MS-, KCom, EVIL & 228 for some epic fights, though I'm sure to keep seeing a lot of you again soon.
Cheers,
Muz
*Edit*
I almost forgot, I'd also like to thank Russ and PGI. When the Idea of honoring our "Fed-Comm" alliance and fighting Jade falcon from Steiner space struck several Davion loyalist units as being both in line with lore and good for the game, a deputation of Davion loyalist unit leaders asked for and received an audience with PGI who granted our request - placing us immediatly into Steiner loyalty. A few weeks later they announced the faction warfare round table discussions. More constructive discourse between PGI and players about faction warfare can only be a good thing and I thank them for both granting our request and taking a more open approach.
