Catch - Infamous for being one of the bloodiest and most heated regions in all of 0.0 security space and neighbor to Immensea, home to B-R5RB, site of one of the largest battle in New Eden 's history, the citizens of Catch are no strangers to war. For about a year, the HERO coalition has occupied Catch and has suffered constant invasions from every side. Since their occupation of GE-8JV it has become one of the deadliest system in the Cluster with ship deaths numbering in the hundreds on a slow day. [...]
On Wednesday, 27 April, Upwell Consortium released the designs for the Astrahus, Fortizar and Keepstar model Citadels. The first wave of Astrahus-class Citadels have already made a dramatic entrance to the New Eden cluster. The Astrahus Citadel is Upwell's medium-sized model. It is designed to support a small to medium group of pilots in friendly or hostile territory. Before a Citadel is at its full defensive strength, a Citadel must first be anchored then onlined. Anchoring an Astrahus takes 24 hours [...]
The first Capsuleer-assembled Fortizar Citadels have arrived in New Eden, and with them, a whole new round of conflict and controversy. The title of first onlined Fortizar Citadel goes to Hard Knocks Inc. for onlining the Hard Knocks Rental Office on May 5th located in the wormhole with the signature J115405, codenamed "RAGE". The Fortizar is Upwell 's large Citadel. Unlike its medium sized counterpart, the Astrahus, the Fortizar model is capable of housing full Capital-sized vessels and is designed [...]
The first extra-large Keepstar Citadel has been constructed and onlined by Hard Knocks Inc. in low orbit over J115405 (Hard Knocks Inc.'s longtime home system, codenamed RAGE) on May 19, YC 118.

While all citadels are capable of mooring ships, Keepstar citadels are the first structures capable of supporting [...]
By ISD Lunaire Elois Hot on the heels of the invasions of TDSIN and Gambrini's home systems, the political world of Wormhole Space was once more thrown into state of chaos when Lazerhawks CEO Hidden Fremen disbanded the neocom channels 'Join W-Space' and 'Rainbow Knights'. Founded over a year ago by Hidden Fremen, Rainbow Knights served as "an arena for discussion and to help corporations who want to grow and be prominent w-space entities." according to Fremen. The channel was host to several well- [...]
Impass - In the outlying regions of 0.0 capsuleers make a hobby of obtaining and flying the most valuable or 'shiny' ships they can possibly find. Among the vast archives of possible targets these pirates search for, none is more shiny then the Revenant-class Supercarrier, designed by Sansha's Nation to lead major incursions into Empire space. Before now it is believed that only two Capsuleer-piloted Revenants have ever been destroyed, until the recent loss of Ingeneer's Revenant in Impass. Image of a [...]
"It's actually quite difficult to sit here and try to describe all the great things about Sleeper Social Club and Future Corps...best overall group of people I've ever meet in an online community ... or in real life." Jim Womack, formerly of Sleeper Social Club, reflects upon the alliance's history after the announcement from the Alliance Executor, Biterno Sintaph, that the alliance's doors would be closing indefinitely. SSC vs. Lazerhawks "Fall of The Souvlaki" In an alliance announcement that was [...]
Wormhole space continues to offer riches and dangers to capsuleers new and old. It is not uncommon for squabbles over these lucrative pockets to break out, and one such fight seems to be brewing between Hard Knocks Inc. (HK) and No Holes Barred (NOHO). Wormhole space, or w-space, as it is known to many is largely unknown to many capsuleers. However there are large numbers of pilots who flock to the uncharted systems in search of wealth and fortune. Within the secluded systems ruled by ship-affecting [...]
Genesis - Moon mining, the process of extracting the minerals of a nearby moon, is one of the most lucrative and profitable operations an aspiring corporation or alliance can attempt. The minerals extracted from these moons have a great variety of industrial uses and require one to place a tower in a moon 's orbit in order to extract this resource. With so many requirements, moon minerals have become very valuable on the market but none are as valuable as the extremely rare minerals known as "R64s". [...]
Since its release to the public by the Amarr Empire, the Confessor has erupted in popularity with capsuleers throughout the cluster. Fast, hard hitting and highly adaptable, the Confessor is a combat vessel unlike any other. The Confessor, the result of a combined research project between capsuleers and the Amarr Empire, is an extremely adaptable vessel able to switch between three different 'Modes'. While in Propulsion mode, the Confessor receives bonuses to its inertia modifier and maximum velocity [...]
By ISD Caiden S'or and ISD Lunaire Elois Seyllin, Essence - On this fourth anniversary of the catastrophe which befell Seyllin I, ending countless lives on the planet and heralding the advent of seemingly random-appearing wormholes in known-space, the Seyllin Conference wrapped up its 4th annual event last weekend. Since the first conference was held, the goal has been to evaluate what has been learned and share this knowledge with the rest of New Eden. The conference was headed up by newcomer [...]
Conflict between capsuleers in wormhole space is not exactly an infrequent occurrence. The pirates and marauders that inhabit unknown space are dangerous and bloodthirsty individuals who fight and kill friends and foes alike on a daily basis. Many capsuleers are forcibly ejected from Unknown Space if they are unwilling to fight or if their actions prove toxic to the capsuleer community within J-Space. The Dark Space Initiative (TDSIN) is one of the many corps who actively take up arms against other [...]
