As the ties between the ORE syndicate and Mordus Legion are on an all-time low, the populace of the Pure Blind region wonder about things to come. After only a few days in the region it quickly becomes obvious that the presence of Mordus Legion pilots has decreased. A good thing some might say but not according to the local citizens I have spoken to. Although Mordus Legion is considered a pirate faction by the empires, the people living close to them describe them as honourable, at times unpredictable [...]

Although mere conjecture until recent hours, numerous credible yet confidential sources have confirmed that diplomatic ties between the ORE and the Mordus Legion have deteriorated to a breaking point.

Walkai Terraforming Industries, whose slogan "Building Better Worlds" is prominent in hundreds of their offices across EVE, announced today that they are in the final stages of planning to terraform the planet Iivinen IV, a planet in the Gallente / Caldari border zone.

Most previous projects have been in much more secure space. Mr Koimota carried [...]
