On 2.3, 2.4, and 2.7 YC 123 a combined force of old Edencom Allies in a fleet consisting of both Capitals and Subcapitals faced off with an old nemesis of the Empire, Dock Workers - Triglavian Supporters, Pirates and enemies of the Empire - in a series of battles spreading over three days. Besides being the first series of large scale engagements LUMEN has participated in, these battles constituted, unbeknownst to the Directrix, the first appearance of LUMEN's Bhaalghorn wing, the "Dragons", donated by Lord Reginald Sakakibara.

Bhaalgorns? Bhaalgorns? *she just sighs*

Comments from Reginald Sakakibara:
Overall, while some of our pilots definitely felt the weight of anticipation, I think that LUMEN acquitted itself well. I think it might be beneficial to remind interested pilots to be patient with PNS, since it’s their rodeo, their structures, and (mostly) their ships. That all said, I’m happy that we conducted ourselves pretty professionally—though the bar was set kind of low by the guy who threw the mini-tantrum on comms.
I’m glad that our pilots got exposed to titan bridging, battleship doctrine warfare, and a couple of medium-sized engagements. It also gave a chance for some of our pilots to stretch their legs in Oneiros and utility battleship (Bhaalgorn) flying, which are pretty distinct from what we normally do. (Though I guess you could argue an Oneiros is like a bigger deacon)
I like these fleets because they give us good practice against an actual, competent enemy [] and Naava even said on comms that he would SRP personal ships lost in helping PNS defend their structures. Especially for when highsec wars resemble this kind of fighting.
