Line 56:

The Uni leadership kept its plans quiet, but the student body was spoiling for a fight.

When the POS came out of reinforced mode, a large Dynaverse fleet again showed up to attack it. Uni fleets responded, and a battle royal ensued. Dynaverse/SW showed a number of cheap tricks in addition to their superior firepower (parking neutral alts in shuttles in the middle of a drone swarm, for instance). This led to perhaps the lightest moment of the day -- Dierdra Vaal, who had used smart-bombs to clear the enemy drone swarm, running away from Concord at high speed, toward low-sec. Dierdra's security status had dropped instantly from +5 to -6 as the "neutral" shuttles and pods got destroyed.

When the POS came out of reinforced mode on 9 May, 2009, a large Dynaverse fleet again showed up to attack it. Uni fleets responded, and a battle royal ensued. Dynaverse/SW showed a number of cheap tricks in addition to their superior firepower (parking neutral alts in shuttles in the middle of a drone swarm, for instance). This led to perhaps the lightest moment of the day -- Dierdra Vaal, who had used smart-bombs to clear the enemy drone swarm, running away from Concord at high speed, toward low-sec. Dierdra's security status had dropped instantly from +5 to -6 as the "neutral" shuttles and pods got destroyed.

Unfortunately, the POS was destroyed in the end. A replacement POS was donated to the Uni by the members of D6, so the material loss in the end was mitigated -- but the emotional impact on the Uni membership was enormous.
