Many of the residents were already in bed when the attack first began, as the Bragian Order began assaulting the village in the middle of the night. Soon after, [...]

As the Caldari Navy and affiliated forces continue their operations within State space, several well-known pirate and mercenary organizations throughout New Eden have descended in the aftermath of battles seemingly to offer aid and succor to those involved.

THE FORGE - The Caldari Business Tribunal was left in disarray this morning after a landmark case was thrown out mid-session under order of the Caldari Provincial Directorate.

The Guristas arrived in Vellaine roughly around 20:00 under the command of Guristas commander Ohminen Sin, where they made contact with [...]
The sudden mobilization of military assets across the Caldari State has apparently taken megacorp and security officials across the cluster by surprise today. The exact disposition of these forces are unknown, though none appear to be taking any overtly hostile action toward the other empires of New Eden. In roughly over the course of one hour, between 13:00 and 14:00 EST, fleets from the Caldari Navy and State Protectorate massed in numerous Caldari controlled systems while ground troops belonging to [...]
Large scale ground fighting, once restricted mainly to limited engagements in contested territories, has recently spread out from its former battlegrounds into new areas of engagement. Additionally, while such ground battles were typically limited in scope, fighting across New Eden has bloomed into large scale engagements as swarms of new, highly trained and heavily equipped soldiers are filling battlefields. Public knowledge of these engagements has been increasing since early last week, when combat [...]

The study, initiated in secrecy early in the year after reports of increasing mental instability in certain capsuleers, has revealed shocking information that is leading CONCORD to refine security measures for pod pilots who wish to eject from their ships. "The findings are quite explicit in their [...]
