The Obsidian Front - Reborn is an EVE Online alliance.
The Obsidian Front, once shackled in chains and darkness within the Amarr Obsidian Mine facilities, has emerged as a formidable alliance in the universe of New Eden. This alliance was born from the ashes of oppression, where its members were forced into the harrowing depths of the mines, their spirits unbroken despite the grueling labor and harsh conditions enforced by their Amarr captors. The tale of their liberation is one of resilience, strategy, and unyielding determination.
Bound by a common thirst for freedom and justice, the members of The Obsidian Front orchestrated a daring escape that would become a legendary saga whispered across the cosmos. Utilizing stolen communications equipment and secretly constructed weaponry, they exploited the mine's security vulnerabilities, which they had meticulously mapped out over years of captivity. In a coordinated uprising, they overpowered their overseers, seized control of the facility, and fled into the expanse of space, leaving the dark tunnels that had been their prison behind.
Alliance Description
Now, as free souls among the stars, The Obsidian Front has pledged itself to the Minmatar liberation force, fighting not just for their own freedom, but for the emancipation of all those still suffering under the yoke of slavery. Their fleet, forged from repurposed vessels and augmented with advanced technologies acquired through alliances, raids, and the ingenuity of their engineers, strikes fear into the hearts of their former oppressors.
The Obsidian Front's flag, bearing the emblem of a phoenix rising from obsidian flames, symbolizes their rise from oppression and their indomitable will to forge a new future. As they navigate the complex political and military landscape of New Eden, they remain committed to undermining Amarr influence, liberating enslaved populations, and supporting Minmatar sovereignty. Their journey from the depths of despair to the forefront of the liberation struggle is a testament to the enduring spirit of freedom and the unbreakable bonds forged in the fires of adversity.
Dudreda Pocket AKA Fribrodi Constellation of Metropolis Region
The Dudreda pocket is our home. It is the establishing a Training and Recruitment Hub for The Obsidian Front would involve making this location a central area for onboarding, educating, and preparing new recruits to become valuable alliance members. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how this could work:
Recruitment Outpost in Dudreda:
- Mission: Set up a dedicated recruitment station or outpost where new pilots can easily access resources, information, and initial orientation.
- Activities: Host “Welcome Ops” where new recruits participate in fleet mining, patrols, or PvE activities to introduce them to the region’s layout and alliance protocols.
PvP Training Grounds:
- Mission: Use designated systems within the Dudreda pocket for PvP training exercises, providing new pilots with combat skills to defend the pocket and engage in alliance-wide operations.
- Activities: Organize weekly skirmish drills, PvP scenario simulations, and mock fleet battles to hone combat skills in a controlled, alliance-protected area.
Fleet Operations Training:
- Mission: Equip new members with fleet operation skills, focusing on fleet etiquette, command structure, and effective positioning in both small gang and large fleet setups.
- Activities: Coordinate regular fleet ops where new pilots practice roles like tackler, logistics support, and damage dealing under the supervision of veteran pilots to prepare them for live combat scenarios.
Ship Fitting and Resource Gathering Instruction:
- Mission: Guide new members in selecting and fitting ships tailored to their role and alliance needs, and teach efficient resource-gathering techniques to sustain their activities in the Dudreda pocket.
- Activities: Host fitting workshops, mining ops, and PI (planetary interaction) training sessions, enabling recruits to become self-sufficient in gathering materials and managing personal finances.
Resource and Knowledge Repository:
- Mission: Develop a centralized collection of guides, fittings, video tutorials, and alliance doctrines specific to the Dudreda pocket’s unique resources and threats.
- Activities: Curate an alliance library or data cache where new members can access material on local mechanics, defense protocols, and resource distribution to enhance their readiness and alliance knowledge.
Mentorship Program:
- Mission: Pair each new recruit with an experienced alliance mentor who provides hands-on guidance and support as they transition into full alliance participation.
- Activities: Implement a “buddy system” where seasoned pilots shadow new members on missions or mining ops, offering advice and answering questions on Dudreda-specific challenges and alliance culture.
Establishing the Dudreda pocket as the hub for training and recruitment allows new members to learn within a supportive environment that’s strategically valuable to The Obsidian Front. By focusing on Dudreda, the alliance can ensure a steady stream of trained, motivated pilots ready to uphold and advance the alliance’s influence and security.
Territorial Offense and Security
For the Territorial Offense and Security corp in The Obsidian Front, a monthly one-week deployment for faction warfare is a fantastic strategy to keep the alliance skilled in PvP and contribute actively to the alliance’s regional control efforts. Here’s a breakdown of how to make this deployment effective, while aligning it with the alliance's larger goals:
1. Monthly Deployment Planning and Coordination:
- Mission: Organize a one-week offensive and defensive operation focused on faction warfare in a target system.
- Activities: Designate a deployment leader each month who coordinates targets, logistics, and fleet movements. Send out alerts, objectives, and strategic goals for all members joining the deployment to keep everyone informed.
2. Industrial Corps Support for Deployment:
- Mission: Ensure all pilots are fully equipped by placing essential ships and equipment on alliance contracts within the target system before the deployment begins.
- Activities: A few days before the deployment, industrialists can transport fitted combat ships, ammunition, and modules to a staging station within the target system. They’ll handle supply logistics so combat pilots can deploy quickly and stay focused on the front lines.
3. Faction Warfare Objectives and Rewards:
- Mission: Secure and hold key faction warfare objectives in the target system, thereby increasing influence and weakening hostile factions.
- Activities: Organize fleets to capture complexes, reinforce structures, and defend control points against enemy factions. Allocate rewards or bonuses based on participation and contributions, offering loyalty points, kill count bonuses, or recognition to incentivize involvement.
4. Patrols and Reconnaissance:
- Mission: Maintain a vigilant presence by conducting daily patrols around the liberated system to deter potential threats and scout for enemy activity.
- Activities: Establish a rotating patrol schedule during the deployment week to ensure coverage around the clock. Recon teams can scout nearby systems to detect enemy fleets, allowing allied forces to anticipate and counteract incursions effectively.
5. Rapid Response and Neutralization Protocols:
- Mission: Be ready to mobilize and neutralize any hostile entities detected within the deployment area.
- Activities: Set up rapid response fleets tasked with responding to distress calls or identified threats. Maintain communication channels specifically for fast alerts so all nearby pilots can join defensive or offensive responses swiftly.
6. Debrief and Feedback for Continuous Improvement:
- Mission: After each deployment, gather feedback and analyze performance to optimize future faction warfare operations.
- Activities: Host a debrief session where participants can share insights, highlight successes, and suggest improvements. Use these discussions to refine tactics, address logistical needs, and enhance the efficiency of future deployments.
7. Engagement with Alliance and Local Community:
- Mission: Involve the alliance as a whole and encourage neutral or friendly corporations to participate in or support the deployment week.
- Activities: Publicize the deployment’s objectives and invite allied or neutral corporations to join, bolstering numbers and creating a sense of unity in defense of the liberated space. Share updates, successes, and stories of the deployment to inspire broader engagement and pride.
This monthly deployment not only secures and enhances The Obsidian Front’s liberated space but also builds a formidable fighting force, strengthens alliance morale, and deepens members' commitment to the alliance’s overarching goals. By integrating industrial support, faction warfare strategy, and community engagement, these deployments can create lasting influence in the contested region.
