On December 8th, 2018 at 16:00 Initiative invaded Rage with more than 600 pilots, 4 days later the Fort Knocks Keepstar was destroyed, its wreck pillaged. Now, a few days after the demise of Fort Knocks, the system is nearly burned to the ground with only a few structures left to destroy.  This was a full eviction of Hard Knocks. This event sent their ally Lazerhawks packing. Three Keepstars in their system are currently being unanchored. Has wormhole life changed forever?

Here to tell us about this invasion is the FC for The Initiative and the crew that seeded the wormhole, creating the conditions for the eviction of Hard Knocks.

On December 12, 2018 at 03:00 EVE time, in the Rage system; wormhole space, The Initiative finished their assault on Fort Knocks’ by destroying it. This marks the end of the first Keepstar Ever Built in New Eden.  It was constructed days after the blueprints for the citadel was released.

The Blinding explosion releases all the station containers enclosed in the giant space station. Over 2700 containers were looted by The Invaders, totaling over 2 trillion ISK (estimated).

You can hear about the Fort Knock’s deployment in May 2016 of Talking In Stations episode: “Saranen System and Fort Knocks Keepstar.” The builder was Muhadin, a former Black Legion / Hard Knocks member.

Today we dive into the weird world of Abyssal space, guided by game developer, CCP Rise. We talk about the space, some of the design principals that went into it and the new ships and rewards. We also get slight hints on what CCP is up to, especially when it comes to a booster for skill injectors. We also review Initiatives attack on Hard Knocks – Fort Knocks. Best of all Elise Randolph joins the ranks of TIS regulars. We’ll see more of him! You might notice some sounds and music in the background – sound good? Let us know.

On December 10, 2018 at 02:00 EVE time, The Initiative continued their invasion of Hard Knocks’ home in Rage system. With Fort Knocks reinforced, the defending wormhole dwellers received support from other wormhole groups. Lazerhawks and other groups broke into Rage system and awaited opportunities to unlock the “doors” to the solar system from the inside. Ninety minutes before the armor timer was up, a significant attempt to break in over 100 additional wormhole pilots failed, and many of them destroyed in the effort. Pandemic Horde ships were among the wrecks. Would enemies of The Initiative help Hard Knocks defeat Init and avoid eviction?

HK did not contest the armor timer. Init Ravens pummeled the Fort Knocks while HK looked on. Next, the final timer; witch comes out Wednesday at 02:00. It all comes down to that hour – that fight.
