==The Long Series of Wars==

=== Murder-Death-Kill ===

=== Murder-Death-Kill (27 Aug 2007) ===

MD-K declared war on IVY, having first taken the trouble to set up a POS in Korsiki under an alt corporation (Vajayjay), in which they could shelter completely safe from attack -- in high-sec, shooting at the 'neutral' POS would be a CONCORD-able act. They also used the tactic of putting neutral alts in among their drones, to prevent smartbombs attacking their drones. Both of these were seen within the Uni as dirty tricks.

=== Background of MD-K ===

MD-K was a ~60-person corp at the time, composed of veteran PvP'ers. They had recently left the Triumvirate alliance, and had at one time advertised as mercenaries. It is not known whether their war with the Uni was hired by a third party.

===~~=Wardec against R&D=~~===

=== Uni wardecs Vajayjay (29 Aug 2007) ===

====Departure of Ivy League ~~R&D~~ from IVY====

Soon after the wardec, the ~~CEO of Ivy League R&D~~ decided as a defensive measure to remove the corp from IVY immediately. Unfortunately, ~~they were the owners of the Korsiki POS, which~~ caused some trouble.

The Uni made a rare wardec, in order to attack the POS in which MD-K was sheltering.

====Departure of Ivy League Research Foundation [2KNOW] from IVY (30/31 Aug 08)====

Soon after the wardec, MD-K attacked the POS in Korsiki. The attack was beaten off, but barely, since the POS was not configured for defense. 2KNOW decided as a defensive measure to remove the corp from IVY immediately; that is, to remove the POS from the wardec. Unfortunately, this caused some trouble.

~~''I'm not clear on what this was supposed to do; more research ahead.''~~

====POS Ejections====

At this time, it was common practice for players to log off at the POS, to avoid being camped in at stations. The departure of the POS owners from IVY meant that Uni members were ejected from the POS on login, with no warning, into the waiting guns of MD-K.

At this time, it was apparently common practice for players to log off at the POS, to avoid being camped in at stations. The departure of the POS owners from IVY meant that some Uni members were ejected from the POS on login, with no warning, into the waiting guns of MD-K. Others bounced off the POS shields to similar effect.

====Wardec against Ivy League Research Foundation (2 Sep 2007)====

MD-K next wardec'd 2KNOW, suggesting strongly that their primary target in this war was the Korsiki POS.

====POS Assault ====

Line 77:

MD-K's attack was particularly significant, since the Uni had a capital ship array anchored at the POS in Korsiki. Game changes had made it impossible to re-anchor such an array in high-sec space, so an irreplaceable asset was under attack -- a rarity in EvE.

====CCP, with no warning, moves all high-sec arrays to low-sec====

====CCP, with no warning, moves all high-sec arrays to low-sec (3 Sept 2007)====

At this time, with no public statement given, CCP unanchored all high-sec capital construction arrays. Their reasons for doing so are still unclear.
