A week has passed since the Takamatsu Trading Exchange began collecting garbage from the systems neighboring Jita, Sobaseki, and Kisogo. What began as a simple job to haul the garbage of the Caldari navy has turned into something larger, as anyone can tell if they dock at the Caldari navy Assembly Plant orbiting Jita IV. "This is absolutely awful," complained one officer. "When you come into a station that's owned by the Navy, you expect crisp, clean service." The officer was referring to the rotting, [...]
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.

As tensions between the Khanid Kingdom and CONCORD rise, we are left wondering how the Amarrian people are taking this. One source within the Amarr Navy, one that wishes to remain anonymous, claims that tensions between individuals that believe in CONCORD's leaked memorandum and those that don't are the direct result of the lack of information forthcoming on Emperor Doriam II's assassination. The source, a fairly well-off officer, claims that certain factions within the Navy are less then happy with [...]

Sarikusa continued, “This shows yet again the false ways of the Empire. They’re obviously losing control. Fearing upheaval at the lack of news on the matter, the Council decided to broadcast this [...]
LONETREK. Despite recent news about a major leap forward in the ongoing investigation, current downward market trends are “not due to [Amarrian Emperor Doriam II] assassination itself, but to CONCORD’s inefficiency at showing results”, says SuVee CFO. “CONCORD announcing ‘major leaps’ while producing no concrete results and thus preventing [the Amarrian acting regent] Chamberlain Karsoth taking actions concerning the selection of the next Emperor is become a nightmare for the markets”, claims a memo [...]
NEW CALDARI. The State "will regard the assassination of Doriam II as an Amarrian internal affair until proven otherwise", said CEP official earlier this morning.

JITA – THE FORGE. After what was a week of low-keyed grumbling about “increased commodity prices” and “logistic nightmares” from the pod pilot community, the bustling Niyabainen – Jita – Sobaseki hub at the heart of the Caldari state seems busier than ever. “Can’t help but expect that next time the CEP decides such a major logistic revamping we get informed in advance”, said Oikanen Hilo, ship manufacturer at Kisogo “yet it does seem some of the changes may have a positive impact on business. Although [...]
