Amarr – Today it has been revealed that the outspoken holder, Kerrigan Orsha, who disparaged Jamyl Sarums’s imminent rise to power at a business conference in Sarum Prime was found guilty of heresy. Kerrigan Orsha unleashed a sudden and shocking outburst directed at the gathering soon after the conference began in which he declared that Jamyl Sarum was ‘impure’ and ‘unworthy of the throne to the holy Empire under God’ before almost ranting about her cloned status. This threw the conference into [...]
Sarum Prime – Sharp opinions and hot tempers are reported to have spilled over into the provincial politics of the Sarum domain this morning. The epicentre of this discord is located in the heart of Sarum territory as the locally respected Orsha family was fractured concerning the recent and dramatic re-emergence of Jamyl Sarum, now expectant to the throne of the Amarr Empire. Following Jamyl Sarum’s public surfacing, during the defence of sovereign Amarr Empire territory by the Minmatar Republic, the [...]
The Bleak Lands - With the outbreak of hostilities between the 24th Crusade and the Tribal Liberation Force in the Bleak Lands, the Theology Council has issued a removal of all artifacts with a "significant value to the Empire".

In addition to the millions of goods sold daily in New Eden, somewhat exotic services can also be purchased. One such service for sale is the “Jump Clone Service". Pod pilots use jump clones to facilitate seamless travel between any two stations in New Eden. This is accomplished by activating a remote clone, at the same time as the existing clone is deactivated. This means that as long as there is a dormant clone at the destination, travel between such places as Jita and Rens can be handled in [...]

Now is a moment where we do what should have been done long ago. The tone of the future will be set by our actions today. We will submit no more, to neither despot nor nation. Let [...]
In the two weeks since the passing of the "Emergency Militia War Powers Act" and the formation of the Federal Defence Union, loyal pilots of the Gallente Federation have drawn a bloody stalemate with the Caldari State over the various contested regions throughout Caldari and Gallente border space. Only one system, Odamia in Black Rise has switched hands since the start of the war, and efforts are still ongoing by the FDU to place the system back into Gallente hands. Although current statistics show [...]
Tama - Approximately three days ago, a Federal Defence Union carrier was destroyed in Heydieles. On the evening of the 28th, the FDU returned the favour by destroying SIX State Protectorate carriers in a little over 30 minutes in the Tama system. Two State carriers were sighted smartbombing everything in range at the station in Tama. Some speculate as to whether this was a baiting tactic, as the carriers warped to the Nourvukaiken gate when a Federal fleet moved to engage them. The Federal fleet, [...]

Villore - In the uneasy calm following CONCORD's call for a cessation of hostilities, there are already criticisms being levelled at Gallente President Souro Foiritan.
