A number of days ago, Terra EX attempted a coup in the Reidquat system. Unbeknownst to Down to Earth Astronomy's Squadron, there was another Player group in the system as a minor faction. The Code of Pirates had been maintaining a presence in that system for quite some time, and when they found out that another group was pushing in, they contacted DTEA directly. Turns out Reidquat wasn't the intended system, and had been "Invaded" by accident, however noone from Terra EX reached out to the Code to work out a deal, or mention to Code about their BGS.
CMDR Shippymcshipface, the current Captain of The Code, then reached out to Down to Earth Astronomy directly, asking about the incursion by Terra EX into the system. To which he recieved this response:
It didn't look like we were doing anything with the system. It wasn't our targeted system, but we're gonna take it anyway, and we're gonna do it in PG.

Apparently, word is in the Lave Cluster, this isn't the first time this has happened.
Now The Code is primarily a PvP Group. They are pirates through and through and you can usually find them around CG's or High Buy Systems for Void Opals, looking for Juicy Targets with plenty of loot. Naturally The Code as a whole, operate in Open, and do so exclusively. Regardless of PvP or PvE activity. So naturally they were going to fight this war in open, and were surprised when Terra Ex said they were going to operate in PG in order to fight the war.
One would hope that in a PvP BGS war, that the conflict would take place in Open play, so both sides could engage with each other directly. Unfortunately since there is no down side to playing BGS in PG or solo, and it would provide less resistance than Open (Code PvP players vs Code NPCs in Open or PG respectively) Terra EX decided to take the Easier route.
Or so they were led to believe. Terra Ex have significantly more members than The Code.
Over the past 4-5 days, The Code has been fighting the war in open, fighting an invisible enemy. Much like getting into a ring with Mike Tyson and attempting to fight blindfolded.
Not a single sighting of a Terra Ex Player ship in open at all.
The Code went in, knowing the odds they were up against did not look good on paper. A request was sent out to friends and Allies of The Code to come assist in Reidquat. many came and assisted. After 4 days, The Code won the war in Reidquat. 4 days of war with 4 wars won. 0 Losses Reported.
The Code would like to extend a formal GG to Terra Ex, despite not being able to engage them directly, and would like to gently remind people, if you mess with The Code, you WILL walk the plank!
In closing, I posted this as a friendly non hostile message to everyone. I do not wish this to be considered an attack against Terra Ex or DTEA directly, it's all a videogame after all. It's a good example of how flying in PG or Solo, doesn't guarantee success. Even if you don't have to engage the enemy directly.
