Corporate Forces Trigger Counterattack Against Lady Zi

Two corporations currently under attack by criminal syndicate forces have rallied pilots to protect their space.

In Exphiay – host of the annual, exclusive Exphiay Bankers’ Ball – a spokesperson for Gallant Investment Brokers released a statement to the Federal Times:

“The violence these Fire Lotus Coalition brigands have brought to our systems is outrageous! We have done nothing to warrant such a hostile attack from criminal gangs. Any brave pilots willing to defend our system – for a fee, of course! – should travel here immediately!”

Meanwhile, Sorbago Mastopolos Mining Inc has called for pilots to protect the Sorbago system against the pirate forces attacking them. Mastopolos Mining CEO Gabriella Mastopolos stated to the Imperial Herald:

“Allowing these lawless brutes to assault our convoys and mining vessels with impunity is an affront to the Empire and the civility it stands for. I am calling for all available combat pilots to join my security teams in eradicating Zi’s forces. It seems improper to refer to this villain as a ‘Lady’ at all.”

Pilots willing to join the defence can sign up at Worlidge Hub in Exphiay and Hencke Orbital in Sorbago respectively. Fire Lotus Coalition megaships The Coldwood and Whisper of the Wake have been recruiting pilots for the aggressors since yesterday.
