Life can get interesting quite quickly in this world. This weekend, corp chatter was full of concern with the arrival of some new neighbors (again) - and they were sporting a Leviathan-class Titan. A little research into their history makes it even more interesting, as we live deep in Gallente LoSec (not borderlands or warzones), and they are a Caldari Faction War corp. With something like 4-5 times our numbers (ignoring the whole Titan thing) they could easily make our life difficult, so our diplomatic team set immediately to negotiate non-aggression standings. This was actually quite simple, as it appears they just want to run a Titan bridge into nullsec and nearby losec systems to hot-drop their enemies. Simple, until the next morning...
We have a couple folks in local who actively participate in Faction War for the Gallente. Putting it nicely, we don't get along too well with them. Shots have been fired, and ships lost on both sides. So when some of the leadership of the large Gallente Faction War corps appear in local and start scouting the system, only a fool doesn't see what's coming soon. Our little pocket of losec is a few jumps out of the warzone, so really it's no surprise that with the ongoing battles and the escalation in hostilities to include capital and super-capital ships that anywhere within jump range of the warzone becomes a staging system. So here we are, a smaller industrial focused corp trapped in our home system between two of the biggest faction war corporations out there. Life is about to get interesting - very interesting...

... and within minutes of posting it seems our hot-dropping friends from the Caldari militia have moved on. Oh well. I guess it won't get interesting after all.
