TLDR: Fl33t comes looking for content, loses circa 60b of ravens and barghests to CFI's on more or less equal numbers.
Fluff: So it's sunday in provi. Therefore it's nice and toasty 100 degrees on the sun and everything is burning as usual.
CVA starts the day with some timers, as usual, and forms TFI's at 17:20 ET, and goes to brawl TRI barghests in G-5 at nice and crispy 190km while content astra was burning in the background (cope b/c we refit from AC's at last minute and got wires crossed). The fight ends with 1 barg worth 1,6b getting shot, and 1 TFI worth 900m and cyno getting shot, and astra worth 1b getting shot (structure prices are healthy btw). After this TRI fleet runs off to lowsec Assah.

CVA follows to lowsec to try to out-range and out-maneuver windrunner tornado's on lowsec moon drills, which goes about as expected, and at this point our cheese stockpiles are expended to cause diabetes on FL33t spais, whom squeak out that they are forming stuff and have like 80 dudes in sosala.
The fightening happens

Once again, timers happen in KBP-7 and Fl33T come for content. Pre-formed (as TRI was poking around earlier and RMC formed for them, but were blue balled) CFI fleet goes for the kill with a brawl at XHQ gate in KBP.
RMC and CVA form CFI's, and FL33T forms barghests and ravens.
The fight starts with barghests getting fed into CFI's as the battlecruisers warp literally on top of barghests while screaming WAAAAAAGH FOR THE EMPRESS on comms and local (or the sanctified CVA variant of thus), causing mass casualty event as bargs failed to hold the incoming dps.
FL33T Lif is dropped to stop the bleed, and followed by a FL33T ravens who got immediately bubble fucked on drop, and lif gets hic pointed. A firewall scorpion navy tries his best and manages to firewall the majority of his own raven's cruise missiles, while CFI's get more or less free shot at ravens and drop them en masse three primaries at a time. Fl33t logi completely collapses as ECM burst and sheer lack of reps cause the formation to break apart to the point where the extraction attempt fails to break the pointing hic's on time for bubbles to cycle, leaving CVA hics alive.
Moreover, FL33T has chosen to experiment with a no-prop mod raven comp, which sort of blows up in null as bubbles are a thing. This does make sense from a lowseccer's point of view though, being a bubble-free zone and all.
In the end effectively the entire FL33T Raven and barg fleet gets deleted off the grid by mostly T2 fit CFI's.
Providence Stands! AMARR VICTOR!
Also thx for fight Fl33t you guys are great.
