===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. | Soon after the wardec, MD-K attacked the POS in Korsiki.

===POS Ejections=== | |||
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. | At this time, it was apparently common practice for players to log off at the POS, to avoid being camped in at stations.

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

=== | === Significance of the POS Assault === | ||
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. | MD-K's attack was particularly significant, since the Uni had a capital ship array anchored at the POS in Korsiki.

===CCP, with no warning, unanchors all high-sec capital construction arrays (3 Sept 2007)==== | |||
At this time | At this time, CCP unanchored all high-sec capital construction arrays, preventing any more capital ships being constructed in hisec. Their stated reason for doing so was that the advantage given to the owners was unfair. Using a capital ship in hisec for war purposes was eventually made a petitionable action. | ||
