"We used to call it 'Домашка' when we were referring to it. Noobman also informed New Eden Correspondents that there was over 120 billion ISK worth of loot that was not destroyed when the Keepstar exploded. We planned for multiple scenarios and brought in multiple fleets to reship and fight certain defence fleets." 60 Dreadnoughts, 74 Carriers, 4 Force auxiliaries, 4 Freighters and 1 Rorqual. We had some days we would get zero pilots into the target and some days we would get over 20 capitals in.In total we seeded 143 capitals. About 5-6 weeks ago we told our members to move into the static C6 holes and we would start seeding them into the target. After that we started the process of buying up carriers and dreadnoughts and moved them to some of our C6 Wormholes that had a Static Class 6 wormhole. Months ago we told our members that they needed to train carrier pilots and able to use fighters. I want to say I helped FC this op but the two people that organised everything are Braxus Deniard and J3rz11. Noobman from Hard Knocks who helpfully agreed to be interviewed for this article said that, "The target was not chosen out of malice, it was chosen because the goal was to kill a Keepstar in wormhole space. As a result, the dreadnought fleet survived. The Keepstar started to fire its Standup Arcing Vorton Projector but died before it was ready to fire. A few Dreadnoughts had warped in early and as a result were destroyed. Just before the Keepstar died Hard Knocks and Lazerhawks warped in dreadnoughts at 0 on the citadel, most likely to let their pilots get on the kill. Many of these bombers were eliminated with only a handful of Sabres lost as a result. Several times Stealth bombers had decloaked and launched bombs at the fighters and Citadel in the hopes of being on the final killmail when it was received. Once again Hard Knocks and Lazerhawks set their carriers up in their routine manner. On Saturday 15th, YC119 the final timer for the Keepstar drew closer. The massive citadel was again knocked back into reinforcement and the attackers now found themselves one step closer to their goal, having just one more day before they could destroy it completely. As their combined force seethed around their staging point they set to work destroying the armour of the Keepstar. Repeating their tactic of the day before, Hard Knocks and Lazerhawks warped at range with their carrier fleet and deployed fighters, warping back to their Fortizar for cover. This time the goal for the wormhole's invaders was to destroy the armour of the Citadel. The next day, Friday 14th, YC119, saw the second phase of the assault on the enormous structure. The Keepstar was quickly stripped of its shields and went into a reinforced state. Thanatos carrier fleet belonging to Hard Knocks and Lazarhawks.
Additionally, If the citadel's defenders had shown up the carriers would have been in a position to easily disengage and tether on the Fortizar. This tactic allowed them to stay out of range of the deadly weaponry employed by the Keepstar. These larger ships would warp in at range to the Keepstar and launch their fighters, before heading back to their staging Fortizar nearby. There were roughly 30 carriers, mostly comprised of the Thanatos class with a few Nidhoggurs and Chimeras as well. With the capitals dealing the main damage a group of Machariel battleships hung nearby providing support. A combined force of Hard Knocks Citizens and Lazerhawks descended on the Citadel with a carrier fleet. On Thursday the 13th of July, YC119, the system of J135031, occupied by Inner Hell, saw the first ever wormhole Keepstar come under heavy attack. There were only four known citadels in the depths of wormhole space two belonging to Hard Knocks Citizens, one belonging to Lazerhawks and one belonging to Inner Hell. A Keepstar will cost you around 200 billion ISK and are the only structure large enough to dock Super carriers and Titans. Developed by Upwell Consortium they are extremely powerful but come with a very large price tag. The Keepstar-class citadel is the most sought-after citadel in the whole of New Eden.
