Dead-End Beatdown

One of our Officers got passed word of a possible small-scale capital fight that was to go down in a dead-end low sec system occupied by some new friends.  We flash formed up in armor BC's, BS's, and T3's, got in position, and stood by to assist.

Initially, the plan was to bait out a Russian Vindi from station and coax a carrier + dread drop, which we'd counter drop.  After the Russians didn't want to play, we engaged an Easily Excited Proteus who was in fact, cyno bait.  After we sent in more of our sub-cap fleet on top of the Proteus, they dropped 3x Thanny's, Phoenix, and Archon.  We retreated to station to prepare a counter drop while our Archon pilot hero tanked the shit out them.  We warped in another Archon + Moros and the rest of our sub-caps,

and the rest is history

EDIT: Video

It's safe to say they weren't expecting a counter drop, they pulled out, and we caught some of their shinies.
