EvE Forum link It is several weeks now since the last Sansha attack struck. Antem being the most recent to have some 900,000 citizens abducted. An intelligence map detailing the Sansha strikes can be found here.
The Minmatar Republic has defended strongly against raids, seeing several of the earlier incursions swiftly repelled. T.R.I.A.D and our agency members were largely involved in assembling the defensive forces during these raids, alongside many brave Matari pilots of other organisations. This was recognised by Silonneri Balginia, commanding officer of the Republic Fleet, following the joint defence of Teonusude, who sent the following message to myself:
---------
From: Silonneri Balginia

To: DeT Resprox,
I've seen you on the field, brother, and we have seen the way your kind rally our people. The Republic owes you a great debt.
Stay true, stay defiant.---------
Further attacks continued the next day as attacks culminated in the discovery that CONCORD officer Sutola Endoma was secretly aiding the Sansha in their attacks. Republic Fleet commander Silonneri Balginia destroyed Sutola's ship in a bid to search the wreckage for evidence but capsuleers intervened. After destroying the CONCORD officer, Silonneri's fleet issue Tempest came under fire from capsuleers. Despite the best efforts of logistics pilots struggling to keep Silonneri's ship alive, it was soon destroyed.
Following this, T.R.I.A.D contact with Silonneri was lost with the Republic Fleet commander now feared dead.
As the dust settles and the Republic deals with the fallout from these incursions, T.R.I.A.D shall be moving on the offensive against the Sansha threat.
We ask members to provide us with intelligence regarding Sansha loyalist corporation movements in order to plan our attack alongside agency members and the citizens of the Republic. We await Republic Fleet response to join the offensive be it from Silonneri, should she be alive, or from upper command within the Republic Fleet.
