Haajinen War Chronicles: Complete Series

I thought it'd be best to create a post that contains all four entries in one spot.

Part 1: The Quiet Retreat
Part 2: Collateral Damage
Part 3: Spy Games
Part 4: The Deep Strike

Overall the war was fairly interesting. We learned a lot about EVE and how to fly. Ultimately, though, the war wasn't on our terms and therefore conflicted with how we like to play. But, that's EVE sometimes. I had other parts of this story envisioned, but ultimately I became busy with work and we largely hung out in station waiting for the war to end.

Enjoy the fiction! Comments welcome, as always.

This is the final entry in the series. Part 1 can be read here. Part 2 can be read here. Part 3 can be read here

The mercenary operates alone. He flies incredibly expensive ships and engages in warfare constantly. Such activities are incredibly costly – wars always are – and we realized that the ISK to fund such a style of operation had to come from a source other than the wars.

This is Part 3 of a series. Part 1 is here, with Part 2 here


Throughout the day our fleet and the mercenary played cat and mouse games. No more engagements took place because neither side ever had the advantage they sought. We did, however, begin to notice some peculiar behavior that added yet another twist to the conflict.

Haajinen War Chronicles: Collateral Damage

This is Part 2 of a series. Part 1 can be read here. 

Using locator agents we were able to pin down our assailant in the system of Uemisaisen. Resolved to not fall prey to his strategy we formed a fleet and presented ourselves in full force. The Genetisystems fleet knew it could not stand up to the mercenary’s skills and firepower individually or even in small squadrons. We also knew we didn’t want to be remotely subtle about our intentions to defend ourselves.

Haajinen War Chronicles: The Quiet Retreat

New Eden is a galaxy filled with opportunity typically reserved for those who seek it. It’s a portion of space that will often leave you alone if you remain hidden, but eventually conflict will find you. And so it was for Genetisystems on the morning of September 11 when a declaration of war was sent to every member’s personal mailbox.
