February 3303 – A Change of InfluenceInfluence… an interesting thing. We struggled to gain it and maintain it; though with some dedicated effort from all of the Privateers we managed to enter a war with LHS 140 Values Party. The war was a tough fight but we managed to pull off the victory and as such we gained control of Diesel Orbital.
We celebrated our victory as it took us almost a full year of deciding where to call home, grab a foothold and proceed to work at increasing our influence in the system of LHS 215. For the first time in a long time we managed to see our influence spike to near the same levels as the controlling faction, Values Party of LHS 215.
However our victory was short lived. We began to notice our influence dropping, though we were still doing what we could to keep it up. It was a very tough fight to maintain the steady decline of our influence but we were still going down. So we took a closer look at travelers passing through the system, and noticed an increase of commanders. So our conclusion was that they were inadvertently negatively affecting our influence. As such we proceeded to ask them questions like; what’s your purpose in this system?
We soon found out that it was another group who claimed to be for the Federation, they called themselves the Federal Navy Club (FNC). As the Privateers are fellow members of Federation, we asked them to please visit Ross 775 to continue their efforts for the Federation at least until we gain control of LHS 215. Though, apparently this was deemed as being hostile according to the FNC. The FNC wanted to make LHS 215 their home but the was a huge problem with this… They were late. About 10-12 months too late.
