Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays CMDR's!

Yesterdays 2nd Convoy of The Happy Holiday Haul was another big day for us as we hauled an incredible 125K tons of Beryllium in 12 hours! In addition, we've also upped our fundraising total to $725 as we now attempt to hit the magic number of $1000.

There's still 12 days left in the Holiday Haul and a 3rd and final Convoy next Sunday. When you take into consideration the lack of any real support from FDEV or any of the Community at large, what we've managed to do not just for the Holiday Haul, but everything in the past year (14 repaired stations and counting) is nothing short of remarkable.

Operation IDA continues to do what we do in spite of the odds and we owe it all to the small group of like minded individuals such as yourselves!

Thank you again CMDR's and The OP-IDA Coordinator staff sincerely wishes you all an exceptional holiday season!

The Galaxy is in turmoil as The Thargoids have ramped up their attacks on humanity but...

WE'RE STILL HAULING!

5 more stations BURN including Cavalieri in Electra in The Pleiades, a station that we previously repaired & yet...

WE'RE STILL HAULING!

We Will Repair Damaged Stations No Matter What! We Won't Stop! The Whole Universe Could Be On Fire & We Will Still Haul & Repair!

It's All We Do! It's All We Know! We're Like The Terminator!

That being said,

The 3rd and final week of The Happy Holidays Haul™ starts today! Now more then ever the need for what we do is of CRITICAL IMPORTANCE!

Come join us & help make a real difference for humanity as we continue our focus (one station at a time!) on repairing Asami Orbital.

This Sunday also marks our 3rd & final CONVOY of the Holiday Haul. Our repair efforts during the entire Haul have been incredible with amazing participation from CMDR's & our Convoys? Even MORE so with live streaming, Operation IDA swag giveaways & a ton of people joining us on our discord coms for a lively chat.

In addition we've SURPASSED our fundraising goal of $500 and now sit at $775 which is so KRAITFULLY appreciated... BUT... we're now looking to raise $1000 & we have one week to do it! Please donate a shekel or two & help us make our new goal!

Direct Relief is a fantastic international aid based organization & during OP-IDA's Holiday Haul, you have an opportunity to affect the lives of people both REAL & NOT REAL!

The Operation IDA Coordination Team would like to thank everyone for their support past & present, whether you've hauled/are hauling for us, donated to our charity, given us some love with live streams, news updates & the like, everything is so important as again, our ranks are not deep.

Thanks to you we are able to continue doing what some say is the impossible... and yet,

WE'RE STILL HAULING!!

So please join us & help in our efforts in repairing stations, donate to our charity, have FUN! Make new Friends & above all, FLY CRAZY CMDR's!!

Yesterdays final OP-IDA Holiday Haul Convoy smashed all records for most commodities hauled in a single day with our 24 hour total having been announced several hours ago at 230,000 tons!

Our haulers put in a truly inspirational effort!

During yesterdays Convoy on our Livestream presented by CMDR Light027, We gave out 9 Paint Packs, a ton of OP-IDA Stickers and a few other special items of OP-IDA swag.
The energy was frenetic, the OP-IDA Coms were packed with CMDRS enjoying the voice chat & we even pushed our fundraising total to $900!

Thanks to everyone who came out today & hauled for us & continues to haul!

Your efforts, energy & great humour is appreciated and an amazing display to behold.

To illustrate the participation & staggering numbers, here's a graphic of the system traffic yesterday:

Thank you again CMDR's!

We would also like to give a special thank you to the half dozen or so members of The Winged Hussars who came out and hauled with us. The Hussars repaired Obsidian Orbital & it was amazing having them join us for our Convoy. o7

Asami Orbital will be online Thursday & The Holiday Haul™ is still ongoing until Friday the 4th!

Keep up the great work CMDRS! o7

Nearly 1/4 million tons delivered in 24hrs! That's mental! :eek::cool:
Btw, I can't believe the Cutter was the most common ship in that period! Lol, nice!

Congrats all :)

Earlier today, OP-IDA & it's allies delivered the last load of Polymers needed to officially finish repairs on Asami Orbital.

Look for the station to be online this Thursday Morning! We are now focusing repairs on Cleaver Prospect in Pleiades Sector HR-W d1-57.

We're also closing in on our $1000 fundraising goal & now sit at $925 with 3 days remaining in The Holiday Haul!

Thank you Alec for helping us hit our goal!

Tomorrow marks the final day of The Holiday Haul & during it's 3 week duration, we've managed to hit every objective we set out to do & so much more.

For that we are so very grateful to everyone who participated & gave their time & energies into helping us do what we do as well as generously donating financial gifts towards a very worthy organization.

It was glorious to see.

The lone caveat is this morning we woke to three new Thargoid infestations in the Pleiades.

In our Home.

Celaeno, one of OP-IDA's two controlled sister systems & Artemis Lodge, a station there that we repaired, is under threat of possible Incursion as well as the Atlas system which is home to Cyllene Orbital, a powerhouse refinery 12k ls out from its star which we also repaired & that is also under threat of possible Incursion, as is The Pleione system (Stargazer, The Squirrels nest).

Regardless, We're STILL Hauling....

But there's no time to rest as once again, we find ourselves fighting for our home... in The Pleiades.
Any assistance from able bodied CMDR's would be appreciated.

The 3 systems that were infested were listed yes.

Celaeno is one of our two controlled sister systems. Pleiades Sector HR-W d1-41 which houses Malthus terminal is the other & our primary home bases. Pleiades Sector HR-W d1-41 is not infested (hence why it wasn't mentioned by name) and as of today, neither is Celaeno!

Thank you all CMDR's who spent all day and night and into the morning in Celaeno to end the Infestation!

We're now in Atlas doing the same. #ForThePleiades!

Again Today marks the End of Happy The Holiday Haul which was incredibly successful surpassing all goals by a mile.

Thanks again to everyone involved and we wish you all the best as we continue to repair & fight for humanity in 3305.

**We'll leave the GoFundMe page up for a week until closing it in case anyone wants to get a last minute donation in.

Ah ok, so 1 system was Op IDAs ;), good to hear it's safe now.
In your previous post it just seemed like you said Atlas was an Op IDA system, never mind :).

But I see you mean you're protecting Atlas, to prevent the station being damaged again! [up]
I'll join you, but I've got to sort out my Python's powerplant 1st, after fitting 3 guardian gauss weaps, it isn't up to it!
