Pochven Campaign Medal - The Empires Strike Back
Medal Text:
Awarded to Pilots who participated in some contributory fashion to advance the Khimi Harar's objectives Pochven Campaign against Stribog Clade and their allies, kybernauts and kybernaut sympathizers.
"We remember Niarja."
"We remember Raravoss."
"We remember Harva"
"We remember Tunudan"
"We remember Kuharah"
"We remember the worlds taken and stolen into the darkness, from the Light."
- Lunarisse Aspenstar, Directrix of Khimi Harar
Reginald Sakakibara Statement On Commencement of Campaign:
In less than 24 hours, LUMEN will be asked to embark upon a great crusade for which we have been poised these many months. Many of you have participated in last summer’s Trigvasions, where the enemies of humanity stole systems from all of the Big Four, including the Empire.
It is time for us to live up to the flame on our shoulders. Khimi Harar is the “Light in the Darkness” and we will be entering one of the darkest places in EVE Online (Pochven, and seriously it’s very dim because the stars are all reddish purple). We aim to hold responsible the Kybernaut organizations that stole the systems in the first place by giving them a taste of what it means to have their new homes destroyed.
Every structure in Pochven is a monument that cannot be restored for no new structures can be anchored. Every Refinery, Citadel and Engineering Complex is one less for the Kybernauts to use to build their wealth on ill-gotten gains.
They believe that no light can pierce their realm of darkness. They believe that their edgelord allies in Dock Workers will ride to their aid and save them from our holy reckoning.
But together, united in purpose and with the resolve of the Reclaiming, we shall prove them wrong. Our rising star FC Axiss will serve as point person for the needs of this campaign. We will be fielding our standard battleship doctrines but that does not mean that other roles such as ECM, Interdictors, Interceptors, and light tackle Assault Frigates will not have their place on the field of Proving.
Every pilot will matter. The gears of our industry must meet the demand for munitions, haulers will need to bring those munitions to the front.
It will be a difficult campaign. We may get fatigued. But let us focus on ultimate victory—evict the Kybernauts from their stolen realm and force them to ground!
In the same way we pushed Ushra’Khan out of Tanoo. In the same way we broke WER4. Ours is the light and we are its fury!
Lunarisse Aspenstar's Comments, mid-campaign:
Further, we started our Pochven Campaign on May 18th. Participation has been excellent.
it is not over, and we need participation to continue.
Three items of note for those who may not have been on comms.
First, statement at the outset by one of our Holders and Senior FC's, Lord Sakikabara. As this is consistent with our policy and purpose for this campaign, i republish here:
[See above!]
Second, a prayer at the outset of the campaign by Friar Theodosius Savnar:
"Grant us, God, the gift of humility so that we are deserving of Your grace. We offer ourselves, our sorrows, our sufferings as a gift to You to save souls from heresy."
"Behold the faithful warriors gathered here to glorify you."
"Fill them with valor, so they can march forth and lead Your army to cleanse the Empire from the apostates that worship Zorya Triglav and her false icons."
"Guide and protect these warriors so they carry out Your will and fulfill Scripture: punish the sinners and drown them in their own blood."
"But if it be Your will that some who go thither lose their own lives in space or on land during the war, let their sins be forgiven at once, so their souls may ascend to you purified."
"God, let it be said of our enemies as it is written in Scripture:"
" The Lord loosed upon them his fierce anger/All of his fury and rage./He dispatched against them a band of Avenging Angels"
"By Your Light and Will, we shall praise you now and forever."
"Amen."
I repeat these, because there have been misapprehensions on the Summit and the IGS as to our purpose.
Our purpose is we remember and act on our memory to try to protect the Empire, as a Shield, so that this atrocity never happens again.
"We remember Niarja."
"We remember Raravoss."
"We remember Harva"
"We remember Tunudan"
"We remember Kuharah"
"We remember the worlds taken and stolen into the darkness, from the Light."
As for how we've been doing?
Yes it's been a slog, but we've performed well in a variety of situations in both EU and USA TZ.
I thank everyone who has helped, in whatever capacity time, ability, and skills permit.
Here is a campaign report for the curious:

Concluding Remarks in Twilight of Campaign by Lord Sakakibara
While EDENCOM Voltron is still closely monitoring the situation in Pochven, it has become abundantly apparent to previously unaffiliated alliances that free hull timers are a great source of content. Pochven now burns on an almost daily basis. Roughly 6 weeks ago, we began our campaign into Pochven. From our first allied defense of Smokey to the First Battle of Wirashoda, through our Operations Firefly, through our continued support of EDENCOM Voltron to generate timer after timer after timer, the largest of the Kybernaut organizations (Stribog Clade) and their closest "Blue Triangle" allies finally collapsed. We fought outnumbered and against an enemy we thought was wealthier and more motivated than we were. But in the end, the spark we ignited by showing our commitment to the Empress' mandate to EDENCOM proved far more resilient. We whelped a few times, learned to bubble in a compressed timeframe, and gained a proficiency in Pochven travel and region-specific mechanics that baffled evacuating kybernauts and those kybernauts who desperately tried to respond to our assault fleets.
Now, the rest of New Eden descends into Pochven to squeeze out the remaining structures that the "Blue Triangle" themselves have put into low-powered states. While they have not issued a formal surrender—and indeed, spat in the face of our diplomatic overtures—this is the kind of absolute victory that nullblocs dream of being able to achieve in their wars for sovereignty. But let it not be forgotten that it was our tenacity and perseverance that led to this moment, when bigger alliances were engaged elsewhere, it was our participation in EDENCOM Voltron that pushed the shield timers until Dreadbomb and Rekking Crew bit into the armor timers and dealt decisive blows unto the kybernauts. It was our willingness to cast ship after ship into the conflagration that destroyed the Stribog Azbel. Where the rest of New Eden waited, we—with EDENCOM Voltron—were the ones who took action.

Lady Zeresh's Remarks, Campaign End:
It has been nearly two months (really? feels longer) since Stribog's initial assault on Electus Matari's astrahus in Skarkon, delivering the first blow in the following conflict with their vow to evict Electus Matari from the constellation.
In response, RP Voltron assembled and served as the spark which set the forest of Pochven ablaze. Multiple defense timers. Far more shield, armor, and hull bash timers. Some of these with massive third partying, making for some absolutely ludicrous subcap PVP encounters.
Stribog has been burnt out of their homes. Their suicide pact allies, similarly following suit. Their cozy space hell empire is rubble. Their glorious triangle PVP ops reduced to little more than highsec ganking... And yet, Smokey still stands.
fleetcom.space/campaign/RwvLaA3x8hPaxuexH
With our targets eliminated, allies secured, and enemy disgraced: We mark this campaign a resounding SUCCESS. All of you who participated are awesome. Those of you who helped coordinate and quartermaster are amazing. Expect medals. There will always be medals.
For those interested in further Pochven shenanigans: stay tuned. [redacted!]
For the rest of us: Take a load off, and catch up on what you enjoy.
And remember: Though we may not receive the headlines in the news or become guest speakers on TiS, that's okay. After all: We're just the Other Folks™️. :lumen:
