I've been a supporter of Nova Imperium ever since the Battle of Paresa in 3305. I was very interested in the potential lore implications Nova held, and over the years since I've worked with countless players to keep Nova Imperium alive, as requested on GalNet following the purge. We wanted to demonstrate support for the faction in the hopes that the story might continue, and so that we would be ready if it did, to avoid a repeat of the first CG when a small number of supporters were suddenly thrown up against the entire Empire.
At most, if there was to be another competitive CG, I expected another attack from the Empire. Certainly not the Federation, who have won damn near every competitive CG since the game released. And certainly not to win against them.
Yes, we prepared for it ahead of time. That was the founding purpose of our group, and I note that the same option was available to the Federation, who easily could have crushed us if they had. I suspect that a few Federals did, but it was just another Federal CG to them, not out of the ordinary and they always win anyway. It was showtime for us.
And even then, all our preparation did was even the playing field a little. We are not a superpower. We still would have lost had it not been for the countless players who came to our aid, many of them Imperials who had once been trying to destroy us, and even some Feds. Not the allies I once would have expected, but I'm glad we've reached the point where that sort of thing is possible.
So, thank you. Thank you to all the players who read a bit further than the headline on GalNet, and came to support us. With how events have been set up to lead to this, I've got a very good feeling about what will result from this win, and it's a hell of a win, for everyone I think.
