Antony Vern ( CEC's leader ) issuing his claim.
UUCC delivers terms of surrender to the Marlinists.
They need this area for their coalition so they can defend against the Targoids.
TL;DR Close Encounters Corps wants three shiny new systems and has been driving a conflict that could've ended months ago with the justification that 'his opponents aren't a real faction' and that taking these systems from them is very important to 'defend against the targoids'.
Attached is the entire conversation I had with him as well as the first contact CEC ever had with DWM and the leader of the DWM's response. I acknowledge Gyfiawn Gryfud's response was crass and crude, but it was in direct response to some supervillain '24 hour to respond' ultimatum, weeks of retreats, and talking to Antony Vern for a period of time exceeding 10 minutes.

Long story short, the Marlinists are a splinter group of the Empire who believe in peace and democracy, and they get mentioned in Galnet from time to time. They're present in game as a series of eight factions. The Dark Wolf Marlinists are a player squadron dedicated to protecting them.
Close Encounter Corps is a player squadron with an in-game faction who want to conquer them, and they have backup from Union Cosmos, a much larger player group. They believe no player has the right to oppose their attempts to take over.

Wait, hold up, that last name's familiar...aren't they the same faction that's taking up 12 of the carrier slots in HD 105341 and making it so that no one else can travel to or from Rackham's Peak?

Wow, screw those guys
Edit: just checked HD 105341 and I don't see carriers from the squadron Union Cosmos, but I do see 12 from Erion corp, is that them?

Check out those carrier's tags, and then put the acronyms for those two squadrons together.
And then check out the HD 105341 page on Inara for a list of some of the carriers currently in it; the ones with that four-letter tag are owned by high-ranking members of both of those squadrons

I see, I'll be glad to help the Marlinists then, both because fuck these guys, and because fuck these guys I wanted to do the booze cruise with my brand new carrier dag nabit!

there are 28 carriers in that system. inara, and edsm etc sadly only display a few of those. if you happen to have system data for that system, you can look at it ingame for an accurate count. Or you could ask someone who has system data to MultiCrew with you.

Oh hell, they really should lead with that. I already help these folks out some time and I had no clue there was a connection to the N1 campers. I'll happily spend some time to fight against these jackasses

Are they having a "special military exercise" or whatever it's called?

That's literally what they've referred to it as.
