The Dreadnought Basilica and her battlegroup were originally deployed to Tau-29 to counter growing threats against the Maltese economy. Having performed this role dutifully and in light of a declining Gallic presence in the Taus for reasons as yet unknown, the Outcast leadership elected to retool the Basilica and her accompanying warships towards a new purpose - finally spearheading an invasion into Crayter Republic space, dubbed Operation Cathedral. Using controlled engine burns and the weak gravity of Tau 29's distant red dwarf, the Outcast battlegroup slingshotted themselves towards the Baffin jump corridor, in hope of entering the system undetected and uncontested.
Unbeknownst to them, the Crayter carrier Helios and its forces were also on the move, on a course for the Tau-31 system. The Crayter fleet detected the Basilica and vectored the destination of the Outcast ships to Baffin, alerting the Crayterian military and burning hard for the jump hole to form a blockade before the imminent arrival of the Maltese forces. It remains to be seen whether or not Operation Cathedral will be a triumph with the Outcasts having lost the element of surprise, and the Maltese fleet now on a collision course with a foe of equal caliber.

Development Team Addendum:
This is an open ended official story event. As such, we've elected not to include a kill counter or cash reward, as the reward for participation is the opportunity for players to achieve a lasting impact on the storyline. When the dust settles, one of these ships will fall, and while we've considered the consequences of both a Maltese and Crayter victory in this event, it is up to the community to decide which one will be left standing.
In addition, this event is going to serve as a testbed for a rework of POB siege mechanics in which the hull has been increased by a factor of fifty, and the regen rate divided by ten. While we're not interested in handing out the exact math right now, the Basilica and Helios will be using the same stats as a core 5 POB under the new system. The hope is that this will allow sieges to be carried out over the span of days rather than necessitating one massive attack to overcome the base's regen.
This is also not a resupply event. The bases will be fully stocked, please make no attempt to sell additional repair or fuel commodities to either base.
Should neither base be destroyed, the one is most damaged will be considered destroyed for the purpose of the event.

We have decided to form an Event Team, to allow for a more responsive and diverse set of Events. Those people, chosen, will help with the creation and upkeep of Events, playing Characters or merely being Event Opponents, both on the Forums and In-game.
We would like to form a Roster of those willing to help with the odd Event, here and there.
Being part of the Event Team in any given Event means:
- Following the Roles assigned by whoever is managing the Event.
- Using your assigned Ships and Equipment fairly(if your ship is extremely powerful, that requires you holding back).
- Not giving you any advantages for your own Ships and Characters. (Trading items away from your Event Ships is strictly forbidden and we could end up deleting all of your Assets)
- Not participating with your other ships in the Event that you're currently supporting.
- Only using the Event Assets for those Events they are intended for.
People who help out in these Events should have some grasp of Lore and preferably some combat experience.
Name your Thread: Event Team Application: YOURforumNAMEhere
- How long have you been playing on Disco?
- Why would you like to be on the Event Team instead of playing in an Event?
- Is your focus on primarily Combat or other RP interaction? (both are fine and needed).
- Do you agree to follow Admin/Dev guidance in these Events and follow the Rules?
