DevilDogUSMC is planning a second venture through New Eden in which he hopes to visit more than five hundred systems in less than two days. Having already successfully completed a circumnavigation, DevilDogUSMC pointed out the reasons he believed it may have been a little disappointing: "Last time there was no challenge. I was flying in the shadows and I did it! I survived but... Nobody got to be apart of such an amazing trip." This time around, he plans to involve as many capsuleers as possible by [...]
3-CE1R - The recent Sansha's Nation attacks took a dramatic turn yesterday after a probe launched by capsuleer Mouse Nell recovered the first images from the other side of the wormhole used by Nation vessels.

Romi, Kador - On 112.05.20, a wormhole generated by Sansha's invasion vessels collapsed. Many capsuleers believe it was destabilized by their use of focused gravimetric waves. According to some reports, the alleged breakthrough was made by capsuleers participating in "Operation Bad Moon".

Darkoro's claim was seemingly confirmed when Slave Ation09 [...]

According to Selene, a daily average of 200-300 capsuleers direct their neocom browsers to EOH's site and [...]
9UY4-H, Providence. A few weeks ago an eight-man corporation known as Trzciciele Kawy planted Sovereignty Blockade Units (SBUs) at all the stargates in the system of 9UY4-H in Providence. The system is currently the home of Chribba, one of New Eden's most beloved capsuleers.

Security in and around the station where the rogue Amarrian pilot was captured earlier this week has been shifted up to unprecedented levels in recent days. For the residents of Misaba, a system on the very fringes of Amarr space the change is abrupt and shocking. Inside the station, an entire medical isolation section has been quarantined with guards being given shoot-to-kill orders for any civilians who approach. Externally it’s a whole different picture. Navy security all the way from Amarr to the [...]

A chilling holoreel of Omir Sarikusa, self-declared Blood Cardinal and leader of the Sani Sabik sect, more commonly known as the Blood Raider Covenant, was discovered yesterday during a DED attack on an undisclosed Blood Raider facility.

Among the reasons given for the drop were significant capital losses in systems along the Republic border due to the ongoing conflict, as well as tightening of credit markets in both the State and the Empire that prevented the company from easily absorbing those losses. However, additional stress has been placed on the company [...]

The fourteen orbit-breacher vessels distributing the aerosol were swiftly shot down by regional detachments of the Mabnen Air Force, but the damage had already [...]
The Glamour Syndicate has launched it’s first annual Ms. EVE election nearly three weeks ago, sadly this beauty contest has already ended ugly. The last few days the election has been tainted by rumors of corruption, tempers flying high and envious women who cannot bear to see others in the spotlight. What started as a way of highlighting the importance of beauty and giving credit where credit was due, it seems to have ended in a cheap catfight, sadly without any mud even. The idea of Kaleigh Doyle [...]
