| - | On July 2nd, both sides prepared for the battle, which could accelerate the war in the case of a PAPI victory, or stall it massively in the case of an Imperium victory. The Goonswarm formed first, being ready after downtime, jumping close to 700 titans in the system. When PAPI formed, a few hours before the timer, M2-WFE Local was already at 5400 players. When order was given to jump in the reinforcements, 6700 people were present in PAPI staging system of T5ZI-S. Due to the load, however, the new titans, that PAPI jumped over the Keepstar, appeared on grid before their pilot could actually see anything. As such, it was a one-sided slaughter. Order was then given for PAPI titans to leave the game, where a strange phenomenon occurred: the "Ghost titans". As the game loads the hull on the grid before the modules, many titans died without actually being there. Out of 159 PAPI titans destroyed, 83 were in fact ghosts, lowering the actual losses of PAPI forces to 76 titans. While a huge blow to their war effort, the titan's numbers are still estimated to be equal. | + | On January 2nd, both sides prepared for the battle, which could accelerate the war in the case of a PAPI victory, or stall it massively in the case of an Imperium victory.
