Yulai - CONCORD asked the organizers of the Alliance Tournament for a list of every alliance entering, the name of their captain, and what organization they are representing. The public refusal of the request has brought CONCORD under fire from several corners.

According to CONCORD representatives, the [...]

The delegate went on to briefly explain the continued rogue drone threat and the sheer potential of a mass incursion from the new [...]

Many feel that the laws of the market rule our universe. Billions of isk exchange hands every day, and certainly not all of it is seen in the empire-sanctioned marketplaces. Grey areas exist between empires, in lawless space, and increasingly in a black market that runs both on escrow bonds and in the space station hangars of pilots. In the world of isk, reputation is everything. Unfortunately, space is so big, and the traders so many that it is neigh impossible to keep track of seedy businessmen and [...]
