Seyllin - The burned out husk of the planet Seyllin I quickly drew attention as word of the tragedy started to emerge from the system. The first capsulleers on the scene seemed to put personal safety for themselves and their spacecraft secondary as fleets were formed to assist others trying to get quickly to the affected areas. Mkah Mvet, one of the very first -if not the first- on the scene, quickly formed a fleet of 20+ ships to allow them to warp directly to his location. Says, Mkah, "It looked [...]
Following the Elder Invasion over two years ago, thousands of the Ammatar Mandate's former elite defected to the Minmatar Republic. For many of them, the road to reintegration into the Minmatar tribal system has been lined with hardship. Stripped of their former power and coming to a nation that views them with centuries of built-up suspicion and hatred, the Elite have been faced with challenges that many of them have not been able to overcome. "I oversaw an entire planet in the Mandate," said Ramius [...]

The vast majority of market manipulations are conducted with profit as the only motivation. For the past two months, Darkrftr has been waging an economic war on the Intrepid Crossing alliance as an act of revenge; “There is no way we could fight them so I am attacking their market”. Darkrftr has made claims that Intrepid Crossing “stole” 1.4 billion isk (in the form of an investment) to build their outpost in WU9-ZR, Etherium Reach. Shortly after the outpost was built, Darkrftr claims that his [...]
Jita - A week into Mens Reppola's tenure as Ishukone CEO, analysts remain apprehensive about his plans for the company, even as its stock trends upward. While the appointment appears to have calmed investors' worst fears and saved the company from a devastating crash, Reppola's plans to focus on high-end research and development rather than bread-and-butter heavy industry have caused concern that the company could end up spending billions of ISK for potential return that may never come. The bigger [...]
