Damn - I'd love for us to be there and grab an outpost

You need to be in an alliance to claim an outpost.

More pretty pics/graphs and details of what Bob has lost: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/alliance/Band_of_Brothers/changes
Something along the lines of 34 outposts now up for grabs with a construction cost of around 544 billion isk (based on 16b/outpost)

Wish we could get our hands on one of them

I actually feel like a large peice of what made eve, eve has been diminished by this occuring.  For good or Bad, BoB where the majority of players "big bad", they had an affect on the landscape of this game like no other - baring RA and their resurgence after LV nearly wiped them from the face of EVE.

Still certainly interesting what has gone on!

The North should have imploded then  

If this causes wars like no other then I want a part of it, if it doesnt and just causes a shifting of big groups controlled regions, then meh.

This is like that bit in starwars where they blow up the first Death Star ... you think the rebel alliance have won .. but there's still a war to go ...

[Mangala]

Yup - RKK, BNC (well lol maybe!) and the other former BoB corps still have people to fight and territory to reclaim (should they wish to try). Eve just got more interesting is the big point I have I suppose.

It made it to Shacknews:

C&P for those who cant get that site or whatever:

In what may be the most significant case of in-game espionage in history, one of the largest guild of players in CCP's spaceship MMO EVE Online, Band of Brothers (BoB), was entirely disbanded today when a BoB director defected to the SomethingAwful-derived Goonfleet.

In a story that only EVE Online could spawn, Goonfleet Intelligence Agency (GSA) leader The Mittani and his league of spies managed to "encourage" a Band of Brothers director to turn coat, transferring trillions of BoB's in-game ISK currency to the Goons before nullifying BoB's control over all of its territory.

"A director with full access to BoB alliance controls defected to Goonfleet and The Mittani was happy to accept his conditions," writes Shacknews tipster Frylock, who noted that while BoB can reform, the name "Band of Brothers" is now permanently owned by Goonfleet.
Shacknews readers may remember The Mittani from our 2007 article series on his expansive, fascinating spy network. At the time, Band of Brothers was already the Goons' larger, more powerful arch-rivals. Now the Goons, long the underdogs in their fight for universal dominance, are gloating over a massive victory. Meanwhile, The Mittani himself was the first to deliver the news to EVE Online's official forum.

"Today we destroyed BoB," said The Mittani. "Thanks for the free capfleet towers and isk."

The Mittani added that the defection also produced a copy of the Band of Brothers director forum, which Goonfleet plans to publish in full.

"Tonight was one of the most historic and epic nights in EVE history," added Frylock. "The universe will no longer be the same."

Band of Brothers was the primary target in The Great War, in which many of EVE's larger corporations formed a coalition in order to oust BoB from its territory. After a long and bloody struggle, BoB eventually retained much of its space, with Goonsfleet being the last member of the coalition to eventually withdraw.
