The 2nd Annual Op-Ida Holiday/Hauliday Haul™ is coming next month and will begin Dec 14th and continue through Jan 5th.

Commemorating the attacks on humanity and star ports which began on Dec 14th 3303 in the Pleiades which also marks the beginning of the 2nd Thargoid / Human war and the foundation of Operation Ida, the Holiday Haul is a few weeks filled with various fun Elite activities.

We're coming up on 2 years as a group comprised of so many who have been working so relentlessly & diligently, determined to repair the enormous amount of damaged stations in the aftermath of the Thargoid attacks. So we plan to make this a big one with weekend convoys, a variety of events (including Thargoid base visits), streaming and prizes as well as raising money for a worthy cause.

This year in honor of our fallen comrade CMDR Ra'kaan who lost his fight with cancer a few short months ago, we'll be raising money for The Cancer Research Institute, an excellent organization involved in all things cancer related. Our goal this year is $1000.

We'll be kicking off the Hauliday Haul™ on Dec 14th with a One & Done Event where we once again attempt to repair a yet to be disclosed damaged station in 24 Hours.

If you haven't took part in one of our 24 hour repair events its worth experiencing, for our last one we had so many people that we had Space Traffic Control volunteers on station to keep the traffic flowing as well as a great atmosphere in chat that led us managing to finish off 2 stations in 24 hours!

Our intent again this year during the haul is to bring further awareness to the community about what we do and what's involved as well as celebrate our history & have fun. We're also looking forward to meeting new CMDRs and potentially welcoming them to our Amazing Traveling Circus of Hauling Mania.
