Last night, a small scale operation conducted by Caldari Navy Special Forces led to the capture of Bleak Scarab, a terrorist with known connections to the Guristas pirates. During the past years Bleak Scarab, whose real name is Yaila Heeth, has gained access to classified information, while working undercover as a Caldari Navy Courier. The information she has gathered was supposedly to be used in acts of terrorism on assets of the Caldari State. Her arrest was made possible by an anonymous informant [...]
Today CBT made a public thank you to all those pilots named by Perkone that took part in bringing the criminals who caused such havoc to justice. A spokesperson said, "We had no idea what Mr Brinor was up to, all we knew was that items had gone missing, presumed stolen. But when he left that day on a supposed business trip, we knew there had to be something not quite right. "We deny any claims that we were ever apart of this sick plot. How Mr Brinor managed to use our corporation name in the way that [...]
In a public statement, mere hours after news of the official Gallente Federation stance on the theft of the Molyneux, the Fountain Alliance has offered their support to the Federation Navy in any attempts to recover it. "Fountain Alliance welcomes the Federation into its space, and will do all that it can to aid the process of returning the Molyneux to its rightful owners. We hope those who have aided Serpentis corporation will be treated as they deserve in Federation territory from this point [...]
Since last Friday's shocking Serpentis strike against a Gallente cargo transport convoy, an incident that saw one of the Federation's six titans disappear into the hands of the criminal organization, numerous questions have been raised in the media as to President Foiritan's apparent unwillingness to send troops outside the jurisdiction of CONCORD to chase after the stolen vessel. The Office of the President has denied that any spurious motives lay behind the decision not to send the Navy into the [...]
This just in: As reported by Federation Navy High Command in the last hour, the culprits of this morning’s coordinated strike upon Gallente assets in the Alperaute system have been identified as Salvador Sarpati, CEO and founder of the Serpentis organization, and several high-level commanders and operatives in his personal army. Also confirmed was the capture of one Gallente Soltueur titan, the Molyneux, by the Serpentis forces. The Molyneux is the first Gallente titan in history ever to be seized by [...]
After last night’s statement from Perkone, CBT have been quick off the mark with a backlash of remarks. In a public statement CBT were unwilling to accept the findings of Perkone and the supposed evidence from their contact Kyogen Steiner, demanding that something be done to investigate the proof of their findings. As of yet no hard proof of any kind has come to light and CBT do not feel that words are enough of an argument. CBT have asked that a direct apology be given from Perkone and that this [...]
This just in: a Federation cargo transport passing through the Alperaute system was three hours ago intercepted by what is believed to have been a Serpentis strike force of unknown size and make-up. Preliminary reports indicate losses on the Gallente side were significant: in addition to dozens of frigates and a number of cruisers and battleships, the Federation is said to have lost control of one of its six Soulteur titans into the hands of the Serpentis. Federation officials have at this point [...]
In a statement today by Frantian Brinor, Perkone's Warehouse Logistics and Factory Manager for Uemon, it was brought to the attention of The Scope that the mysterious attackers who have been plaguing the lower regions of The Forge may very well be pilots from CBT (Caldari Business Tribunal). After further scrutiny of the information given to Mr. Brinor by Kyogen Steiner earlier this evening in Uemon, Perkone has decided that an official statement had to be made on the matter, highlighting CBT’s [...]
This just in: several major interstellar news agencies have in the past twenty-four hours run breaking news on a new development in the Insorzapine bisulfate investigation being undertaken by the CEP Business Bureau. According to a report apparently leaked by a top-level Bureau aide, the Insorzapine variant carried by renegade scientist Ullia Hnolku and his wife is in fact a drug capable of wholly reversing the effects of Vitoc on the human body, breaking the chain of cellular addiction which keeps [...]
In an unusual turn of events, Caldari corporation infighting erupted into a bloody public spectacle as Terra Infinitus' flagship was attacked and destroyed in front of shocked onlookers in the New Caldari system. The ship and is escorts had previously come under attack in the Jan system, and it appears the battleship was attempting to escape several ambushes. Unconfirmed reports indicate that several pilots lost ships as the fleet defended itself. Surprisingly, automated CONCORD defences failed to [...]
Yesterday a large group of pilots were rallied by CONCORD to help in the capture of the terrorist Mercurion Red.

Last night in the systems of Nonni and Jita, a large scale contraband purchase happened for the second time in less than a week. During a one hour window, when CONCORD and the local police patrols were at a minimum, two freelance traders, Kerio Ekoena and Leiara Xjenion announced their presence and began a frenzied collection of the illegal goods they required. In this case it was drugs and DNA samples. Jashira Ne´rgha, the representative for Galactic Trading and Logistics was also present. This [...]
While Eman Autrech and Mentas Blaque launched their election campaigns with only the minimal of hitches, current president Souro Foiritan was left sitting in the dust looking like a fool. Foiritan has never been known to be the most prepared or meticulous of men, but even his blasé reputation can’t save him some blushes now. While the thoroughly trained delegates of Autrech and Blaque are busy stoking the campaign fires of their respective masters, Foiritan’s supporters have nothing but pitiful embers [...]
After a series of meetings over the last week, CONCORD's Inner Circle this morning passed new legislation prohibiting empire corporation agents from passing on Tech II construction components to capsule pilots engaged in freelance work for them. The primary reason for the legislation, according to Inner Circle Head Irhes Angireh, is "the need for the empires to divert their resources towards their own ends. Both CONCORD and the four empires have paid tremendous amounts of money and resources to the [...]
Late last night, a freelance trader named Kerio Ekoena was spotted in the Nonni system, buying slaves, drugs, firearms and a whole host of other illegal goods, showing that the rumour mill can occasionally hold the unvarnished truth. Working for a third party corporation, he is suspected to have spent millions obtaining the contraband items they require. Who he is fronting for is still the object of wide speculation. Astonishingly though, it is believed that a trader by the name of Jashira Ne´rgha of [...]
Last night a riot is rumoured to have occurred in a slave holding facility somewhere within the Taru system. It’s believed the facility where the alleged riot occured is owned by Korramasha Mawhi, a small time slave trader with no record of illegal activities. Solid evidence has been hard to come by, but four ships in Korramasha’s possession, including two Zealots and two Sacrileges were seen being piloted by four Matari personel heading towards Minmatar space. These ships were intercepted and [...]
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 [...]
Earlier this week, word started to trickle through the criminal underground in the Lonetrek region, that an as yet unnamed Gallente corporation is making preparations to buy large amounts of contraband goods for what is rumoured to be a drastic new research project. Many of the universes worst drugs, as well as slaves are thought to be on the list of desired contraband. When and were the items will be purchased, and for how much is something that the rumours have as yet failed to deliver. Concord has [...]
Recent news reports have been flooding in from various anonymous sources of attacks at the fringes of Caldari space. For the past few months these mysterious attacks have been on the rise and they do not appear to be letting up. Each of the attacks appears to contain a small tightly nit fleet of eight or so Caldari ships, enlisted in an oddly named corporation. Every attempt at communication with any of these vessels is met with garbled and seemingly random noise. Early attempts at decrypting the [...]
Earlier today Caldari Navy did a raid in Dantumi, leading the capture of the terrorist named Black Scarab. Miss Yaila Heeth, aka Black Scarab, had for several years been working disguised as a Caldari Navy courier, using her clearance to gain access to information and designs to be used against the Caldari Empire in acts of terrorism. She has earlier been under suspicions for espionage and a tip from an unknown source led to her capture while setting charges that would have disrupted gate travel out [...]
Late last night, one of the leading authorities in regenerative genetics, Professor Mkauna Nkumi, was found dead in his research facilities in Ferira system. 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. Logs also indicate that the professors clone, which was kept in a special facility adjacent to [...]
Perkone Corporation, one of the few remaining Caldari corporations founded during the Industrial Age on Caldari Prime, announced today a dramatic increase in their sales of munitions and arms over the past few months, reversing all of their past trends of surplus materials and unsold stock. Since the war with the Federation, Perkone has struggled, barely managing to produce their lines of "solid, high quality equipment." Could today’s revelation breathe new life into this corporation, until now just a [...]
In a statement earlier this morning, Concord announced that they have called off the official search for Hol Hignotta, the pilot responsible for the unprovoked and fatal attack on an Opus Luxury Yacht in the Yulai system. The active search period of three weeks has passed and as they have found absolutely no leads hinting at his whereabouts, the search has been called off. Even mercenaries have been unable to track down the elusive terrorist. The lack of clues pointing to his location is breeding an [...]

The three candidates for the Federation presidency are set to find their ideal emissaries to run their all-important election campaign. Each candidate has formulated his own way of finding those pilot corporations most suitable and to their liking. The corporations that work most diligently will have the honor of nominating one of their own to become an emissary for their chosen candidate. As even further incentive they will also become proud owners of a Navy issue Dominix battleship. Delegates for [...]
Reports have been filtering in that the known terrorist organisation "United against Decadence and Impurity" (UDI), has obtained some highly sensitive documents, which if true, means that the Ushra’Kahn alliance has suffered a major security leak. The documents are rumoured to contain not only the identities of a large portion of the members of the Ushra’Kahn, but their most commonly used ships, the setups and what stations their agents inhabit. It goes on to name all of the corporations in the [...]
Concord was shamed last night when it emerged that one of their up and coming officers was illegally supplying the Guristas pirates with highly classified information. The officer, Juul Anttus met his downfall, ironically when one of the people he betrayed decided to do some private detective work. Hyota Vasy, a sub-nanite communication engineer first became a target for the Guristas when, during one of his many research experiments in deep space he stumbled upon a top secret communiqué, detailing the [...]
Minmatar Republic officials this morning lodged a formal complaint with CONCORD, stating that according to security footage and docking transcripts, two Caldari Navy vessels had illegally docked at a Republic Fleet station in Matari-controlled space last night, reportedly in search of missing Caldari pharmacologist Ullia Hnolku. According to article 37a of the Yulai Convention, vessels of national navies are explicitly forbidden from docking at other national navies’ stations if those stations are [...]

The Takamatsu Trading Exchange which has had more than its fair share of negative publicity in recent months, has decided to fling open the creative gates and is holding a competition for all of the budding filmmakers in EVE to create their next promotional reel. Aspiring commercial artists have been given a free reign on how they execute the video, but Takamatsu spokespeople said the entry should be "short, exciting and go with the theme; ‘You can always trust a Takamatsu". Advertising officials, [...]
According to a bi-monthly report submitted by the DED’s Observation and Analysis Subcommittee yesterday, the numbers of illegal deadspace outposts harboring dangerous elements are steadily increasing on the fringes of CONCORD-policed space. The Guristas and Sansha’s Nation are among the criminal organizations known to be building new outposts in various locations along the divide of the outer rim frontier. Centus Sansha, the Nation’s wing of deadspace operatives, have according to the report built the [...]
As expected, Court Chamberlain Dochuta Karsoth released the following statement on the situation revolving around the stolen Cross of the Sacred Throne order. “Since the Empire was founded, we have placed a great deal of emphasis on our traditions and customs. It is these traditions and customs that define the Empire and its many provinces. It seems that ironically enough, some forget this in their passion to support us. "Holder Marin Ankigher alerted me to a problem several days ago. I was hoping [...]
It has been almost a whole year since the Elarel massacre, where over 300 Gallentean dignitaries and entertainment industry personnel were slaughtered. This incident, one of the worst terrorist atrocities in living memory, was the handiwork of the UDI (United against Decadence and Impurity), a group who has claimed responsibility for countless terrorist incidents in Federation space over recent years. Ever since the attack in Elarel, President Foiritan has waged war on their activities, a war which he [...]
Today, Holder Marin Ankigher released a statement via the Amarr Certified News: "It has come to my attention that the Cross of the Sacred Throne Order has been stolen. In return, its thief desires the five hundred Sebiestor slaves I trusted to the CVA. It has also come to my attention that some wish to leave the prized item in this despicable individual’s hands. Let me clear up now and for ever that the value of the medal far exceeds the sentimental attachment to my former slaves that the CVA might [...]
Yulai, Sanctum, Genesis.. Late last night tragedy struck an Opus Luxury Yacht which was performing a tour around the system of Yulai. Without warning or apparent provocation a man who has since been identified as Hol Hignotta opened fire on the yacht which had been christened the Seven Seas. The Seven Seas had been hired by high ranking executives from 3 of the most prominent corporations from the Minmatar Republic. According to officials from the Yulai Search and Rescue team there were 22 dead bodies [...]
A shocking new development in the theft of the Admiral Golan Trevize's prized medal. A pilot called "Budy" claims to have this invaluable trinket in his possession, having opened a sales auction on the GalNet forums. Although it is unsure at this time whether or not the pilot actually holds the medal, awarded to Admiral Trevize by the Emperor himself, this has not stopped him from receiving several high bids already. We will keep you up-to-date when more information comes in.
A startling new development surrounding the 500 Sebiestor slaves awarded to the CVA halted the auction of those slaves as the Cross of the Sacred Throne Order, awarded to Golan Trevize by the Emperor himself, was stolen. The Admiral's Estates are notoriously well guarded. Rivaling the level of security surrounding the Amarr Navy's most prominent generals, Admiral Trevize's estates is guarded by ravenous packs of slavers, trained to hunt and brutalize any individual they do not recognize. Well-trained [...]
Concerned for the security of the Misaba station as well as regarding its total research inadequacy, a detachment of local Amarr forces under the command of Lord Sorn moved what is assumed to be the rogue navy pilot to a new and more secure facility. Yesterday evening Lord Sorn recruited pilots with nothing but the highest standing towards the Empire for a secret and high security escort mission. The pilots, from many corporations including, Imperial Star Guards, Sublime LLC, Imperial dreams, Aeternus [...]
Since Monday’s interception and execution of a Takamatsu Trading Exchange pilot, heated communications have passed between the two notable groups. The Takamatsu, a notable trading group within the Caldari State has taken first blood on open stage, viciously putting down the orders of one Lord Sorn to execute one of their own. "This behaviour is unacceptable in today’s modern environment" said senior assistant Juzo Nidashi, personal aid to the CEO Masaki Takamatsu. "We have begun our own investigation [...]
The Perkone corporation, whose sales have been dwindling of late, found themselves under a sustained attack from border region pilots earlier tonight. The convoy, consisting of 4 Perkone industrial blockade breakers, travelled 15 jumps from secure space to the backwater regions of Caldari space, to a system called Paala. When they got there, their cargo, said to be mining equipment was unloaded and they set a course back to Akora. It was then that their problems started. 6 battleships from the [...]
The mysterious happenings in Misaba burst out of the solar system this evening in a frenzied attempt to cover up a serious security leak from the Zoar and Sons station. Kanjin Odana, a member of the Takamatsu Trading Exchange managed to sneak past the security and quarantine fields in the highly protected station and gather information which the Amarr Navy has simply called "highly sensitive". It was only the quick reactions of officials in the Amarr station, noticing that something was wrong which [...]
Today, Marin Ankigher released a statement via Amarr Certified News. The aged Holder of the Mamet system has decided to release five hundred of the purest bred slaves into the care of the CVA. The Ankigher family is renowned in private slave-trading circles for their breeding programmes. Mr Ankigher stated: “For as long as I can remember, Mamet has been a troubled system. As close to unsafe space as possible, we have had to deal with crime, poverty and the odd outlaw incursion. With the business that [...]
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 [...]
The following report has been submitted by Silvia Frinor, of The Scope. Technical difficulties prohibit her from accessing her news facilities, we hope to solve these issues shortly. In all my years of reporting I have never been privy to such a display of arrogant defiance as I saw last night in the Bereye system. For the past few weeks now I have been following a man called Tinus Janatus, believing there was more to his story then met the eye. Mr Janatus claims to have been framed by the Mercantile [...]
In these days of high speed space warfare, if an organisation is trying to capture someone it is infinitely simpler to locate their clone and stake it out until their natural actions or hired guns make the consciousness animate the body. Physically capturing a pilot is unfeasible and expensive. It is this very reason which has surrounded the operation to capture a rogue Amarr Imperial agent with mystery. Two days ago (Sunday), an Amarr Patrol frigate was seen scouting r3-k7k for pilot installations. [...]
In recent days, word has spread throughout the Caldari corporate community that Zainou Biotech, one of the State's leading biotechnology corporations, has suffered a massive security breach.

The drug, known only as "Insorum," is [...]
The customary legal wrangles, that always surround every major public election in the Federation, are finally coming to an end. Now that the fierce court room scuffles are over, the battle can move into the public arena, where freelance corporation vie for the honor and prestige of getting to select an Emissary from their own ranks. As usual the candidates have tried to gain an advantage over each other by suing and counter-suing each other, hoping to come out cleaner in the ensuing mudslinging. While [...]
Systems with a 0.9 Concord Security rating don’t often see skirmishes. In fact they are considered the second safest classification of space in the Universe. However earlier tonight (Wednesday) there was a well organised and well co-ordinated attack in Renyn. Yesterday was the 10 year commemoration of the death of Gregory Malubrian, a pilot who was killed, without a clone, at the Duripant gate in Renyn. The pilot who is credited with his death is Tinus Janatus. Concord records state that he was killed [...]
Pilots from all over the Caldari state were unexpectedly called to arms earlier this week by security forces from Deep Core Mining Inc. The security forces sent the many pilots they hired out to scout and secure solar systems surrounding the Paara system and more specifically the DCM station, immediately. The pilots were not made aware of what they were looking for, only to report back “suspicious pirate activity”. When they were given the reason for this mission, however, the reason for the lack of [...]
