At 6:30 AM this morning, the TEST Alliance /r/bravenewbies flair was found face down in a puddle in a back alley of the YZ-LQL station. After being rushed to a nearby hospital, it was pronounced dead on arrival at 6:59 local time.

Dreddit CEO DurrHurrDurr has declared a corporate day of mourning as a wave of anti-BRAVE unrest and protests swept through Wicked Creek.

We’re rustled. We’re super-mega rustled. - Dreddit CEO DurrHurrDurr

This evening, Mr. HurrDurr then announced that Dreddit is forming a new, hyper-elite sperg force to avenge the murdered flair.

For too long, New Eden has had only two Legions. Pandemic Legion works with supercapitals and pilot skill as an art. Black Legion with tech three cruisers and superb fleet commanders. This new elite force, ordained Autist Legion, crushes its enemies through the sheer, unrivaled power of autism. We will avenge the unprovoked, barbaric murder of our bravenewbies flair.

Rumors abound that the Spooky Ghost of Deklein himself, Sa Matra, is departing from Fidelas Constantbad space at this very moment to haunt the stars of F-88PJ. Upon learning of Sir Matra’s movement, Dreddit economic Hebrew Yolo Swagtron advised all members of Test Alliance to invest in Vexor Navy Issues, Ishtars, and Gilas in the Fountain region in anticipation of a coming drastic spike in demand for those hulls.
