While our primary home and industrial backbone is tied to Winter Co space, The Abyssal Requiem frequently deploys alongside the **Phoenix Coalition** for offensive campaigns, strategic objectives, and sustained content.

A "deployment" means we are temporarily moving our combat assets to a forward staging system to project power into hostile regions. When deployed, the expectation is maximum PvP participation.

Just like our home coalition, you cannot participate in Phoenix operations without being fully authenticated on their services.

1. **Register on Auth:** Log into the **[https://phoenix-coalition.com/dashboard/]** with your EVE SSO.

2. **Add All Characters:** Ensure your main character and any alts you are bringing on deployment are registered.

3. **Configure Mumble:** Activate Phoenix Mumble via their Auth Services page. Set up your server connection and ensure **Push-To-Talk** is enabled. (Refer to [[Comms & Services Setup]] if you need a refresher).

Getting safely to a forward staging system is the first major hurdle of any deployment.

* **Move Ops:** Deployments will kick off with official Alliance/Coalition Move Ops. These are heavily escorted fleets designed to move Capital ships and subcapital pilots safely. **Do not miss the Move Op.**

* **Moving Late/Solo:** If you miss the Move Op, do not attempt to gate a slow ship through 30 jumps of hostile space. Use a fast interceptor to move your pod, or use the deployment Jump Freighter service.

* **Shipping Assets:** Phoenix Coalition will designate an official Jump Freighter (JF) route for the deployment. Follow the courier contract instructions carefully. (See [[Moving Assets to Staging]] for general JF rules).

When you arrive at the forward deployment citadel (usually a Fortizar or Keepstar):

1. **Set Your Death Clone:** Immediately dock up and set your Medical/Home Clone to the deployment citadel. If you are podded in a fight, you need to wake up in staging, not 40 jumps away back home.

2. **Jump Clones:** Leave a clean jump clone back in our main home staging so you can jump back to handle market orders or emergency home defense if needed.

3. **Pre-Fit Ships:** Unpackage and fully fit your doctrine ships immediately upon arrival. Do not wait until a ping goes out to realize you are missing rigs.

---

* **Bring the Right Ships:** The FC team will announce which doctrines are required for the deployment. Ensure you bring at least two of the primary main-fleet doctrines and one fast-tackle/interceptor. (Check Doctrines & Fittings).

* **Minimal PvE:** Forward staging systems are designed for war, not krabbing. Do not expect safe ratting or mining pockets during a Phoenix deployment. Your income should be handled by your alts back home or savings.

* **High Tempo:** Expect frequent, high-priority pings. Deployments are resource-intensive for the coalition, and they expect maximum numbers in fleet to achieve the strategic objectives.

When operating with Phoenix Coalition, check your overview and standings.

* **Blue to Phoenix = Blue to ARQM.**

* Follow the exact same blue-standing rules outlined in our [[Blue Standing Etiquette]] guide. Do not shoot blues, do not loot blue wrecks, and report any blue-on-blue incidents immediately.
