The capture came after a failed coup inside [RA]'s leadership caused a sovereignty loss in several capital constellations around Insmother. Aware of their opponent's difficulties, Atlas and allied forces exploited the confusion by launching a suprise attack deep inside Red Alliance's core [...]
Z-RFE3, Providence - a leadership succession followed by a failed sovereignty transfer to a new alliance caused Providence Holder Aegis Militia [AM] to lose ownership of six systems in Providence and intense fighting in the affected systems with Against All Authorities, Ushra'Khan (commonly known as AAA and U'K respectively) and allied alliances. Former AM executor K5Project explained that after taking over executive roles six months ago and rebuilding AM "back up strong on its feet", the recent [...]
THE FORGE. In a failed attempt to escape CONCORD custody, the well-know Gurista terrorist Bleak Scarab was hunted down and his pod eliminated in Obe earlier this week. According to witnesses, Bleak Scarab was able to break free from the CONCORD interrogation facilities in Tennen. How her escape was possible and how was Ms. Scarab able to seize the Guristas heavy assault cruiser in which she left the system is still not clear. "It is so far obvious that [Ms. Scarab] received outside help", granted Lt. [...]
Pator - A story carried by The Scope news service and relayed by various media outlets throughout the cluster sparked panic today on Pator. The story, which turned out to be fraudulent, gave explicit details about a Sansha fleet on its way to invade the Minmatar homeworld. The local stock market on the planet took a steep dive following the false news story. Some areas saw mass looting in their retail districts, while fires broke out in some residential districts in major metropolitan areas. The [...]
Leremblompes, Essence - In a press conference today, family and friends of Federal Freight employee Querian Galoud have publicly called upon the FIO to release any information concerning Galoud's whereabouts. A senior accounts manager with over 15 years at Federal Freight, Galoud was brought in by FIO agents as a "person of interest" during the Office's investigation following last year's break-in. "The last time I saw Querian, he was being loaded into an unmarked ground-car by the Black Eagles," said [...]
One of the few seemingly universal truths across the world of EVE is that all families are home to their fair share of conflict, with the owning family of the Team Dragon race team being no exception. According to a CONCORD statement issued in conjunction with Team Dragon officials, two high spec racers were stolen from their hangars in the Caldari system last Tuesday. The act was perpetrated by Otoo Ogami, son of the notable race team owner Katsen Ogami with his accomplice friend Hanzonas Kitota. [...]
Amamake, Heimatar - A monthly event has been created that sees capsuleers fight each other for fun in frigates. The event, which is also known as "Frigfry Fridays", will be held on the first friday of each month in the Amamake system. Jude Lloyd, event organiser, explains why he has picked frigates to be the chosen vessel: "I see an under-appreciation for frigates, I love frigate warfare and I knew it was simple enough that people might actually participate." Jude confessed to being pleased after the [...]
Great Wildlands - Foundati0n's [FDN] April 10th disbanding marked the end of an era for many residents of Great Wildlands. Known for its longevity, rare NRDS (not red don't shoot) policy, and many memorable campaigns, [FDN] will not soon be forgotten by many citizens of New Eden. As earlier reported, the alliance came to a close earlier this month when Lord Maldoror removed the majority of [FDN]'s corporations. While the news came as a surprise to most, conditions within the alliance had been [...]
Onward to Glory - On Sunday 20th April we were privileged to be spectators at the third ISGC racing league race of Season V. There were two main differences to this race compared to any other race the league has ever held, the first was that for the first time in league history there were two waypoint cans at most of the waypoints. This caused some confusion amongst the racers at first who are not used to having sequential waypoints right next to each other; this also made each waypoint a lot more [...]
A group of several hundred individuals in a small farming community on Intaki Prime have barricaded themselves in varous buildings throughout the town. The group allegedly possesses large quantities of illegal weapons and explosives, collected over the last few days after group leaders heard of a memorandum indicating local land and resources would be auctioned off to Caldari megacorporations. In a call to the press, Geerim Frein, one of the organizers of the small resistance, said, "We are proud to [...]
Dodixie - Amid slipping poll numbers, presidential contender and retired Rear-Admiral Daren Fasio has announced his withdrawal from the race. Addressing a disappointed but supportive crowd at a press conference this morning, Mr. Fasio took the opportunity to endorse Governor Celes Aguard's candidacy, saying, "though Governor Aguard and I have disagreed on several issues, I feel strongly that she is an able candidate for the presidency. Further, she has the best interests of the Federation at heart, [...]
Protein Delicacies, product of the Sukuuvesta Corporation, has taken the food market by storm in the last few weeks. This delicious, yet nutritious and healthy food has especially made great headways within the Gallente Federation, where it has been hailed as the best thing since self-inflated bread. But rumors the product is not all as it seems have been persistent ever since it first appeared on the market. Some have, for instance, questioned why there is no domestic demand within the Caldari State [...]
Stargate technicians are working overtime tonight in Orvolle, after the automated sentry guns failed to stop an attack on a Viator class transport ship. In addition to their failure to engage, logging systems also did not catch the identities of the 6 ships which attacked and destroyed the Viator, although eyewitnesses say that the party consisted of a Helios, a Raven, a Stabber, a Vigil, another unidentified ship and most oddly, an Iteron class V industrial cargo vessel. The failure of these 2 [...]
Officials of the Gallente Federal Administration today insisted that a brewing dispute, between the massive FedMart corporation and a number of Sang Do overlords, in the Lirsautton home-system of the Jin-Mei nation, is entirely a matter for autonomous local authorities. FedMart, the largest retailer in the Federation, has allegedly precipitated social unrest throughout the agricultural heartlands of the Jin-Mei by approaching Jing-Ko caste farmers directly, in order to negotiate for their produce. [...]
Dastryns - The outbreak of illness on a Dastryns station last month continues to baffle medical personnel and is now creating tension between Combined Harvest, the company linked to the Long-limbed roe suspected of causing the illness, and the Federal Defence Union, the Gallente militia organization formed after the Caldari invasion. Placid's proximity to core Gallente Federation holdings and the value of the Intaki homeworld makes it a strategically valuable region, and it is defended vigorously by [...]
Intaki, Placid - A major push by Federal Defence Union forces in the last week has resulted in 13 systems which were originally held by the Gallente Federation returning to its governance, including Intaki Prime. The 13 systems resecured by the Federal Defence Union between 21.02.112 and 27.02.112 were: Essence 08:53 27.02.112 Vifrevaert Verge Vendor 03:49 20.02.112 Jovainnon 18:50 21.02.112 Loes 04:50 22.02.112 Hevrice 00:53 26.02.112 Melmaniel 23:53 26.02.112 Muetralle Placid 18:50 22.02.112 Brarel [...]
Tama - Approximately three days ago, a Federal Defence Union carrier was destroyed in Heydieles. On the evening of the 28th, the FDU returned the favour by destroying SIX State Protectorate carriers in a little over 30 minutes in the Tama system. Two State carriers were sighted smartbombing everything in range at the station in Tama. Some speculate as to whether this was a baiting tactic, as the carriers warped to the Nourvukaiken gate when a Federal fleet moved to engage them. The Federal fleet, [...]
Orvolle - In a speech delivered yesterday from the Orvolle system, Federal Defense Union commander Corbolia Palmezine issued a challenge to the Union's pilots. Palmezine detailed a plan to identify the top capsuleers within the Union, and grant them the authority to organize a team to represent the union in the upcoming Alliance Tournament. Palmezine recognized the immense challenge posed by the Alliance tournament, but fully supported the decision to enter a team sponsored by the Federal Defense [...]
LUMINAIRE: Media attention of the Federation financial sector has grown notably in recent days as pundits begin to make predictions on the content of a report due from the Bank of Luminaire. Speculation has been building in recent months on the health of the Federation's economy and just how sustainable its growth rate truly is. In the past eighteen months the Federation has seen its population swell, fuelled by large numbers of Minmatar immigrants settling within its territories. This, combined with [...]
Renyn, Essence - In a press conference at the headquarters of the Federal Intelligence Office today, a senior spokesman announced the conclusion of several months of investigation into shipping giant Federal Freight. The inquiries, conducted by the Special Department of Internal Investigations, were aimed at establishing direct involvement in the loss of sensitive data by Federal Freight employees, in addition to ascertaining any possible connections to Caldari intelligence organizations. Much to the [...]
Algogille - The Federation Navy press office has issued a statement containing the findings of their investigation into the recent incident involving an Iteron industrial ship under Federation Navy contract. The statement confirms that the Iteron was in the process of 'relocating important military equipment' when it was destroyed.

Intaki - The Federal Navy relief force assigned to re-establish control of the Intaki system was denied access to the Intaki stargate in Agoze earlier today. Representatives of the Intaki System Command reportedly informed Admiral Gouenette, who is commanding the force, that the Navy had no jurisdiction in Intaki, and that their presence was "neither required nor welcomed." After the liberation of Intaki and other systems by Federal Defence Union pilots last week, the Federation Navy rapidly mobilized [...]
In another display of disdain for the Caldari Navy and the State Protectorate militia, Friedrick Psitalon and his Dead Parrot Shoppe comrades led a raid into the Nourvukaiken system on the evening of the sixth. Nourvukaiken has been a major staging area for the State Protectorate with easy access to Tama, an entry point into the contested zones. The stargate to Tama itself has been used repeatedly as an assembly point for State fleet ships. One such assembly was interrupted when Friedrick’s raiders [...]
