Pendulum War

On September 28, 2006, Band of Brothers (BoB) declared war on Ascendant Frontier (ASCN). The area of conflict was three southern regions: Period Basis, Paragon Soul, and Feythabolis.

Result: decisive BoB victory.

SirMolle, leader of BoB, named this campaign "The Pendulum" in his announcement[1] to CAOD.

"The reasons for selecting ASCN as the target were stated and restated, and will be once more. ASCN were the biggest and most likely to offer the best challenge, while keeping us occupied the longest. In theory, the unstoppable force versus the unmovable object. D2 almost had it, but morphed itself into a defensive alliance. The choice came down to fighting ASCN or mini-ASCN. All opposing claims were either misinformed, or fictional." --Sir Molle, Evolution Corp

Even though initial reports were calling for an 8-12 month long war, neither side was willing to drag this conflict out for longer than needed. Both sides poured billions of ISK into the war in the hopes of completely wiping out the opposing side. In the end, it took BoB less then 12 weeks to achieve victory in all three regions. ASCN suffered heavy losses, including the first player owned Titan loss. The estimated cost of the war is over 1.7 trillion ISK between the two alliances. The defeat suffered by ASCN eventually led to it's dismemberment. In 2007, ASCN officially broke up and has not reformed since.

"...it took four weeks to break ASCN's will to fight, three weeks to conquer Paragon Soul, and four weeks to conquer Feythabolis. War quickly degraded to POS bashing and ganks as BoB went head to head with Strontium Clathrates, but a few memorable battles were had." --Sir Molle, Evolution Corp
