Event Quotes

SHADOW STRIKE -BEFORE EVENT
“ 2/1/16 This is Bishop, speaking on behalf of VEGA Security. The Blood Amber has given me a vision, and I know now what I must do. The tolerance and understanding I extended to you in the past will not be repeated. Instead, I will cast a shadow over this entire sector. ”   — Bishop
SHADOW STRIKE -BEFORE EVENT
“ 2/2/16 Even after decryption, Bishop's messages don't make any sense. We still haven't received word from Iron Star since the last attack. I let myself be convinced that we could defeat VSec, but I should have trusted my instincts. Remember this lesson well: never underestimate VEGA. ”   — Burr
SHADOW STRIKE -DURING EVENT
“ 2/4/16 I'm receiving reports of VEGA attacks all over the sector. Its as if VEGA is able to move their forces completely undetected. In the face of such a threat, I suggest we prepare our fleets for combat. ”   — Sybil
SHADOW STRIKE -DURING EVENT
“ 2/6/16 This is Bishop, speaking on behalf of VEGA Security. Under article 47 of the VEGA Federation charter, I hereby declare a state of emergency. All miners are ordered to submit their combat arms for liquidation. The will of the Amber must be satisfied. ”   — Bishop

Trivia

• This event was first announced through the Facebook Page, rather than through the CMs.
• This event reused the event fleets from Evacuation, Emergence and Arms Race.
• This event did not have any base attacks, making getting all the prizes a massive grind.
• This event was also one of the hardest considering that the ships had a lot of armor and shielding and were very hard to take down.
