One of my alts has formed a new corporation for the purposes of Wormhole-space exploitation. He's currently sitting in our chosen system while the funds are being raised for the POS and fittings.

Every day or two I scan down the new wormhole exits and go looking. On this day, I found a Class 2 wormhole which was well populated - two towers - and that wormhole itself had an additional exit to a high security location in Amarr space. This wasn't very unusual, but I also noticed industrial ship traffic through this wormhole.

Seeing the potential for some quick pew, I sent out the word to Suddenly Ninjas. Only two people - Llyan and Emizeko Chai - were willing to make the 20+ jumps from Dodixie down to deep Amarr space. Llyan was bringing a Broadsword heavy interdictor for the locking on the inside of the wormhole.

We stage ourselves inside the wormhole, and after a few minutes, a Badger Mark II pops in and quickly dies. Apparently lacking in communication among their corporation, the CEO pops in 4 minutes later, also in a Badger Mark II and dies as quickly.

We open the cargo on this one and HOLY SHIT WTF FACTION TOWER? The Shadow Control Tower (Large) dropped by the Badger is worth at least 900M on contracts. None of us have the cargo space, so Llyan makes a mad dash to the nearest industrial he can buy. We're expecting a fleet of guys from their POS to descent on us, but nothing ever happens. The tower gets scooped and put on contracts. There's a cool 300M for each of us.

I had to go deal with real-life at this point, but Llyan, Zeke and some others managed to beat the snot out of the same corp a few times:

Check out that last one, the Harbringer. Shield and armor tanking? Someone needs to turn their pilot license in to CONCORD.

Lesson of this story: When moving a billion ISK of equipment into wspace, guard both exits with a decent fleet. Lacking that, I hope to see more of these fellows again!
