'''[[Pendulum_War|Pendulum War]]'''

On September 28, 2006, [[Band_of_brothers|Band of Brothers (BoB)]] declared war on [[Ascendant_Frontier_(Player_alliance)|Ascendant Frontier (ASCN)]]. The area of conflict was three southern regions: [[Period Basis (Region)|Period Basis]], [[Paragon Soul (Region)|Paragon Soul]], and [[Feythabolis (Region)|Feythabolis]].

'''Result''': decisive [[Band_of_brothers|BoB]] victory.

[[SirMolle]], leader of [[Band_of_brothers|BoB]], named this campaign "The Pendulum" in his announcement[http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=401712] to [[CAOD]].


"The reasons for selecting [[Ascn|ASCN]] as the target were stated and restated, and will be once more. [[Ascn|ASCN]] were the biggest and most likely to offer the best challenge, while keeping us occupied the longest. In theory, the unstoppable force versus the unmovable object. D2 almost had it, but morphed itself into a defensive alliance. The choice came down to fighting [[Ascn|ASCN]] or mini-[[Ascn|ASCN]]. All opposing claims were either misinformed, or fictional." --''Sir Molle, [[Evolution (Player corporation)|Evolution]] Corp''


Even though initial reports were calling for an 8-12 month long war, neither side was willing to drag this conflict out for longer than needed. Both sides poured billions of [[ISK|ISK]] into the war in the hopes of completely wiping out the opposing side. In the end, it took [[Bob|BoB]] less then 12 weeks to achieve victory in all three regions. [[Ascendant_Frontier_(Player_alliance)|ASCN]] suffered heavy losses, including the first player owned [[Titan]] loss. The estimated cost of the war is over 1.7 trillion [[ISK]] between the two alliances. The defeat suffered by [[Ascendant_Frontier_(Player_alliance)|ASCN]] eventually led to it's dismemberment. In 2007, [[Ascendant_Frontier_(Player_alliance)|ASCN]] officially broke up and has not reformed since.


"...it took four weeks to break [[Ascn|ASCN]]'s will to fight, three weeks to conquer Paragon Soul, and four weeks to conquer Feythabolis. War quickly degraded to [[POS|POS]] bashing and ganks as [[Bob|BoB]] went head to head with [[Strontium_Clathrates|Strontium Clathrates]], but a few memorable battles were had." --''Sir Molle, [[Evolution (Plyaer Corporation)|Evolution]] Corp''
