2025 Faction Warfare Blood Brawl AAR + BR

2025 Faction Warfare Blood Brawl

This year is the third year in which the groups of New Edens Factional Warfare Community have thrown down for a glorious and bloody brawl. This year was the Amarr's turn to play host and the fighting took place in the system of Auga on the Acceleration Gate of a Large Advanced Faction Warfare complex.  The rule set for this year was Navy/Faction Cruisers with T1 Logistics. The only exception to this rule was for BC's to apply links. With the Rules picked and the location set everyone moved ships into position. The minmatar flew a Scythe Fleet Issue fleet lead by the great Casper Sullivan. The Gallente flew a Vexor Navy Issue fleet lead by No'vac. The Caldari flew a nimble Osprey Navy Issue fleet lead by the team of Abby Aurilen and Corvus Onzo. The Angel Cartel, lead by Switch4, fielded a fleet of Cynabals. The hosts this year, the PROUD AMARR, ran a fleet of Augorur Navy Issues lead by the great Vortex the Monger.



As fleets formed everyone's numbers began to swell, everyone formed \~90 man fleets and as the clock ticked down the call was made for everyone to undock. Auga's local quickly swelled to over 500 people and tidi started to take effect. Everyone landed and quickly took survey of the field, taking little time to greet each other formally shots quickly were made kicking things off. The " Seriously Suspicious " alliance showed up on grid in a fleet of Loki's to interject and put a damper on things for everyone. SUDDENLY BLOOD RAIDERS!!!! The Blood Raiders, a non Fwar faction, showed up in a fleet of Ashimmu and started toying with everyone they could, including sucking the cap dry from the sacrificial HAW Dread fielded by the Amarr.  The Caldari and Gallentte quickly were pushed off grid to reship while Amarr, Minmatar, and the Angels stuck on grid in a mexican standoff. Suddently Balls Deep showed up to ruin the party in a fleet of Alligators and started hitting from range to also attempt to ruin the fun with some success. Caldari and Gallente returned from reshipping and blows started trading all accross the grid once again. It was about this time that The Initiative alliance showed up the 8th? 9th? party in a fleet of Prophecy Navies forcing everyone to turn their guns on them. With success pushing Init off the remaining Minmatar and Amarr forces warped off to lick wounds, reship, and return to the fight. Everyone landed and instantly started shooting the reshipped Init Proph Navies who had successfully finished off the HAW Dread in the downtime. It was at this time a SECOND Init fleet fielding Harbinger Navies lands on grid. Gallente had run out of ships at this point so Minmatar Fleet Alliance sends a HAW Nag in to help contest Init. Fighting continues for another 15-20 minutes before grid begins to dwindle. As the guns start to fall silent everyone returns home. GF's flood local and Amarr Victor is called.



Good fights to all parties and I want to thank the logistics teams of everyone involved for making sure everyone had ships in position. I want to thank the FW Parliament team for putting this event together and making sure everyone was represented to the best of their ability. I want to also close out by saying great job and thank you to all of the FC's involved, without them an event like this wouldn't be possible. Great job to everyone, Fly safe, Amarr Victor, and I can't wait for next year.

With as many parties involved as their were this BR is pretty hard to deconstruct and accurately portray. Tristan is hard at work producing a video covering our side of the event, look out for it here https://www.youtube.com/@tristandacuhna, he will also likely make a post here to share the video as well. o7
