Illinfrik - After many generations of wandering throughout the Great Wildlands in relative isolation, Thukker caravan fleets are becoming an increasingly common sight in Minmatar Republic space. As the caravan of the Vulder clan pulled into docking slips at the Trust Partners Trading Post station this morning, the occasion was marked with little fanfare, indicative of the frequency with which Thukker caravans have begun plying this route. On the whole, the reintegration of the Thukker clans into wider [...]
Pator - The Thukker Tribe announced their intentions to collaborate closely with the Minmatar Republic in any effort made by the tribes to explore wormholes. With several caravan masters expressing interest in exploratory missions, the news of "non-natural signatures" in the wormhole system explored by the CreoDron team has heightened the interest of all the Minmatar tribes. The Thukkers are especially keen in teaming with the other tribes, having recently lost an entire Great Caravan to a solar [...]
Pator - Sanmatar Maleatu Shakor publicly expressed frustration after yet another in a series of delays plagued negotiations with Thukker tribal leaders. For months the Sanmatar's staff has been moving forward in trying to assemble a new Council to represent the seven Minmatar Tribes.

Amongst the problems that the [...]
Pator - In a joint press conference held moments ago on the Minmatar homeworld, Sanmatar Maleatu Shakor and Thukker Chief Einnar Aeboul have announced that the Thukker Tribe is to join the Minmatar Republic, being conferred the status of an independent 'state within a state.' Although the Thukker Tribe will join in political union with the other Minmatar Tribes through the emerging 'Tribal Republic' being forged by Sanmatar Shakor, they will retain full autonomy within their home region of the Great [...]
M-MD3B, Great Wildlands - Among the widely-dispersed Thukker Tribe, reactions to the recently-announced agreement on political union with the Minmatar Republic have been as diverse as the tribe's many caravans. Sporting by far the loosest tribal structure of any Minmatar tribe - an arrangement further complicated by the setup of their Great Caravans - the Thukker approach to politics is very different from that of the Republic, prompting many to fear that political union will lead to a significant [...]
New Caldari - Following the fall of the last Federation stronghold in contestable losec space two weeks ago, Caldari State Executor Tibus Heth issued a nationwide address commending the State Protectorate Militia for their "momentous achievement" and promised to award each pilot with the Distinguished Blade, a national medal of recognition from the Caldari State.

The full transcript follows: --- A young man died in my arms [...]

What made the attack so significant was the fact that the Starbase housed capital shipyards in the process of building a Titan, believed to be a second Avatar-Class vessel intended to supplement their first.

Concord police say that they currently have no leads as to the motive of the attack. However, the sheer brutality and utter rage this murder appears to have been conducted in, is allowing criminal psychologists to narrow down the search considerably.

Many billions of isk were wagered on this year’s final of the Alliance Tournament. Most of those wagers were placed for personal gain, but Seor Engis and his [AURA] Alliance decided to make a difference in the lives of those without such deep pockets. “We were only a few people [in the alliance] actively watching and discussing that evening and none of us felt like making huge bets. Normally I don't bet on things I can't influence, but we agreed the winner should donate the money to charity.” As talk [...]
Intaki, Placid - The Intaki Liberation Front [ILF] are celebrating six months of a so far successful 5-5 trade hub in Intaki, which has seen them so far raise 15 billion ISK in sales of ships and items. Apollonius Verus, ILF Director of Non-Combat Operations, seemed particularly happy that not only can capusleers purchase any type of small or medium tech 1 ship but they can also outfit it with tech 1 or tech 2 gear, "all without having to leave the Intaki system". Maintaining such a trade hub has not [...]
Jita - With CONCORD out of commission the Jita System was struck hard by pirates trying to take advantage of the lack of defence for all traders now leaving the biggest trade hub in EVE. Several ships have been reported destroyed outside all stations. The sentry guns guarding the stations have been reported unable to keep up with all aggression taking place and without CONCORD to protect the traders events are rapidly degenerating the Jita System into a warzone on its own. Convoys are being urged to [...]
Pashanai - In response to heightened terror alerts across the Amarr Empire following the Pashanai attack, Amarr Customs has mobilized to lock down civilian travel on many heavily trafficked transit routes. At checkpoints along the Ammatar-Minmatar border, the sudden density of traffic and limited customs presence has resulted in complete curtailment of trade and transit vessels. Jaikhan Dhomn, a Thukker merchant employed at the Trust Partners Trading Post in Tanoo, was planning to cross the border [...]
