====About====

The fifth Delve War took place in the summer of 2012. Goons were the ones who named the war and it came from their counting of Delve wars. According to the goon timeline the previous Delve Wars were:

 * Delve War I. Taking place in early 2008, where goon got halfway into Delve, fighting [[culture:history:band_of_brothers|Band of Brothers]], before the offensive fizzling.

 * Delve War II. The fall of Band of Brothers.

 * Delve War III. Goons fight [[culture:it_alliance|IT Alliance]], forgets to pay their sov bills and lose all their sov as a result in February 2010.

 * Delve War IV. Took place in 2011, Mr Vee went south and did his freeport project, things got hot and goons turned around and went home.

Delve War V was against [[culture:history:southern_coalition|Southern Coalition]], where [[culture:history:honey_badger_coalition|Honey Badger Coalition]] and [[culture:clusterfuck_coalition|the CFC]] went to war to evict SoCo. It was a steamroll, where SoCo lost their space in [[eve:region:delve|Delve]], [[eve:region:querious|Querious]] and [[eve:region:period_basis|Period Basis]].

Delve and Period Basis were held by [[culture:nulli_secunda|Nulli Secunda]] and Vera Cruz, with [[culture:red_alliance|Red Alliance]] (RA), set up in Querious. TEST, basing out of [[eve:region:fountain|Fountain]], restaged to NPC Delve with [[culture:pandemic_legion|Pandemic Legion]] (PL) and started to attack Nulli-held space. As HBC were winning the fights, their opponents made a deal with [[culture:against_all_authorities|Against All Authorities]] (-A-) who lived in nearby [[eve:region:catch|Catch]].
 This made -A-, [[culture:red_overlord|Red Overlord]], [[culture:raiden|Raiden.]] and the rest of SoCo to join the war. Quickly thereafter the CFC declared themselves as allies of the HBC and invaded Delve.
