==Hostilities Begin Anew==
On November 13th, 2008, [[Against ALL Authorities (Player alliance)|-A-]] and their allies began a campaign in [[Feythabolis (Region)|Feythabolis]] against [[Goonswarm (Player alliance)|Goonswarm]], triggering the Second Great War.
On November 25th, 2008, [[Band of Brothers (Player alliance)|BoB]] and [[Executive outcomes (Player alliance)|Executive Outcomes]] announced a formal alliance with -A- for the purpose of the destruction of Goonswarm.

After the [[Greater_BoB_Community_(Player_coalition)|GBC]] joined the battle alongside -A-, the [[Northern_Coalition_(Player_coalition)|Northern Coalition]] began mobilization for a distant southern campaign to assist the besieged RSF.

What ensued was 3 months of grinding attrition warfare of unparalleled magnitude with neither side making significant progress with the GBC putting consistent pressure on the peripheries of RSF territory. Though notably [[Tau Ceti Federation_(Player_alliance)|TCF]] managed to be uprooted from its Wicked Creek holdings by Executive Outcomes forces, overall progress could be measured in constellations against a coalition that spanned several regions.

However, all of this was soon rendered irrelevant in the single most cataclysmic act of espionage in EvE's history.

==[[Haargoth Agamar (Character)|Haargoth Agamar]]==
A character named Harkani joins IGNE, a corp in Goonswarm. A security check within the alliance reveals his past membership of a hostile-associated corp, and so he is about to be booted from the alliance when he drops a bombshell. The player behind Harkani is also Haargoth Agamar, a full director in the BoB corporations [[Black Nova Corp (Player corporation)|Black Nova Corp]] and, more importantly, [[Tin Foil (Player corporation)|Tin Foil]].[http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=991219&page=1]. Disillusioned with the internal politics within BoB and enthused by the contrast he saw within Goonswarm on his alt whilst in IGNE, Haargoth offers to defect to Goonswarm. Goonswarm spymaster, The Mittani, initially plans a 'smash and grab' corp theft with Haargoth, but his imagination runs wild with other creative possibilities. In the end, a far more elaborate plan is devised, focused on the all-out destruction of [[Band of Brothers (Player alliance)|BoB]].[http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/64347]

On Feb. 5th, 2009, using his Tin Foil alt, Haargoth kicks every member corporation from the Band Of Brothers alliance, and once all corps have been removed the alliance itself closes. The name 'Band of Brothers' is immediately snatched up for an alt corporation run by the Goonswarm CEO, [[Contributor name:Darius JOHNSON|Darius JOHNSON]], preventing BoB from recovering their identity. The disbanding causes sovereignty to drop throughout BoB space at the following downtime, removing the Sov3 and Sov4 granted defences set up in Delve, Period Basis and Querious.

The corporations that had made up [[Band of Brothers (Player alliance)|Band of Brothers]] joined [[KenZoku (Player alliance)|KenZoku]] (formerly their alt alliance) and prepared to defend themselves against the approaching onslaught.

==The Assault==
Goonswarm immediately dispatched a fleet to Delve and began shooting the towers placed there and called on their long standing allies in the Northern Coalition and Pandemic Legion for help. Initially the attacks were against infrastructure in the outpost constellations in [[Delve (Region)|Delve]], with [[Querious (Region)|Querious]] also being hit within days. The war spilled over into [[Period Basis (Region)|Period Basis]] in April 2009 with the purging of GBC alliances [[Frontal Impact (Player alliance)|Frontal Impact]], [[Beach Boys (Player alliance)|Beach Boys]] and [[Executive outcomes (Player alliance)|Executive Outcomes]].

==[[Major Fleet Engagements|Major Battles]]==
This is a list of the major battles of the Second Great War.

===[[J-LPX7 (System)|J-LPX7]]===
[[KenZoku (Player alliance)|KenZoku]] gets their main cap fleet trapped. Engages in an extended fight (~5 hours) to defend J-L system from the combined assault.[http://www.eveonline.com/iNgameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=997798] In the aftermath of this engagement, [[Shrike (Character)|Shrike]] of [[KenZoku (Player alliance)|KenZoku]] loses a titan in BWA. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82pOIAyMwLE&feature=fvsr]

===[[9CG6-H (System)|9CG6-H]]===
[[KenZoku (Player alliance)|KenZoku]] and [[Goonswarm (Player alliance)|Goonswarm]] engage in a large cap fleet battle. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1ziJwReA8E] Goonswarm, NC, PL, and KIA [[hotdrop]] a Kenzoku capital fleet that had been attacking Goonswarm towers. Further reinforcements were received by both sides as the battle progressed. GoonSwarm and their allies fielded a total force of over 400 ships, including an estimated 140 capitals (mostly dreadnoughts), while KenZoku and their allies had put roughly 220 vessels on the field by the end of the battle, including 70 dreadnoughts and a small number of carriers. GoonSwarm and allies took 48 losses, 15 of which were dreadnoughts, and killed approximately 67 vessels belonging to KenZoku and their allies, including about 42 dreadnoughts.

===[[49-U6U (System)|49-U6U]]===
[[KenZoku (Player alliance)|KenZoku]] and [[Against ALL Authorities (Player alliance)|-A-]] as well as elements from [[Systematic-Chaos (Player alliance)|Systematic-Chaos]]successfully defend against a [[Goonswarm (Player alliance)|Goonswarm]] invasion. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9REDXTdOK8] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hobccXblimA&feature=related] With over 1,500 ships in the system, communications were severely disrupted. Few shots were able to be fired, so most ships left the battle, however many wrecks remained.[http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=2928]

==Notable Losses==
===[[Titan|Titans]]===
* [[Shrike]] <[[Evolution (Player corporation)|Evolution]]> [EVOL] - [[Avatar]] [[Titan]] Lost: Lossmail - [http://killboard.net/details/304886/]

==Result==
Disband of [[Band of Brothers (Player alliance)|BoB]], reformed as [[KenZoku (Player alliance)|KenZoku]] and disbanded (later reincarnated as [[IT Alliance (Player alliance)|IT]]). [[Goonswarm (Player alliance)|Goonswarm]] holds sovereignty of [[Delve (Region)|Delve]] and [[Querious (Region)|Querious]].
