Welcome to Under New Management, the news segment that brings you the hottest news on E-UNI’s rising stars!
The University saw the appointment of two new managers this week following the successful draining of all valuable resources from their predecessors. Hot scoops after the jump!
ALDRAT, METROPOLIS — In the past week an unprecedented plastic surgery craze has swept New Eden, leaving many onlookers unable to recognize formerly well-known capsuleers. Some reports point to a new Jovian technology capable of resculpting clones. Jovian or not, the technology’s use has skyrocketed among New Eden’s rich and famous, including corporate mavens, royal heirs, and capsuleers.
When reached for comment capsuleers expressed delight with the ability to alter their appearance. Some pilots sported full heads of hair after years of baldness. “I used to wear a black hood to hide my beak-like nose,” said one Amarrian holder. “Thanks to CCP I’m now a finalist on Amarrian Idol.” Other capsuleers have been more circumspect, with one Eve University manager referring to “a terrible and life-altering accident in his pod”.

HEK, METROPOLIS – Many know Hek as a bustling forward-trading system, serving as an integral halfway-house between Jita and Rens. A bustling local economy in itself, one of Hek’s primary claims is to being one of the primary supply sources for Eve University. The recent spate of wars, however, had changed things significantly.
“To be honest we’re caught between a rock and a hard place,” trader Willis Burkin told us as he locked up his wares-hangar in at the Boundless Creation owned Industrial Station orbiting Hek VIII. “We relied heavily on the students and teachers drawing their campus supplies from Hek. But we’ve slowly been throttled by the war.”
Mr. Burkin is referring to the prolonged war that Eve University has been engaged in against The Last Crusade [TLCI], coupled with the newest combatants on the field, Outerrim Jobs [FLAPZ]. Because of the protectionist nature of Eve University policy and the iron hold of the Ivy League Navy in the Aldrat system, the flow of trade traffic has been brought to a standstill. Traders are unable to take their wares into Aldrat, and Aldrat-based traders are no longer reaching to their nearby comrades in Hek for supplies. Continue reading
ALDRAT, METROPOLIS — Eve University announced a new recruitment system today, citing a large increase in popularity and applications over the past year as having overwhelmed the old one.
The new system has been designed to cut back on the amount of bureaucracy and red tape that currently sees a single interview taking upwards of an hour. Decisions about applicants will now be based primarily on the contents of their questionnaire, alongside the usual background checks. Details of the new process can be found on the University wiki.
“The wait times for interviews have grown to completely unacceptable levels,” commented E-UNI Director of Personnel Darian Reymont. “We’ve been struggling with the issue for months but nothing we tried could get the old system to do what it needed to do. In the end we accepted that it simply wasn’t designed to handle the demand we now face and with that in mind, we quickly got to work on a replacement.” Continue reading
PATOR TECH SCHOOL, ALDRAT – Residents and visitors aboard the station were briefly awakened when a short firefight broke out in its near vicinity. Station regulars sighed and shook their heads as stray shots hit the station shields, causing minor tremors to pass through the station.
“We’re bloody used to it now,” said Kelgar McCreedy, as he cleaned a new spirit shot glass. The vibrations passed through the station at roughly 2330 HRS. McCreedy’s establishment, McCreedy’s Tavern, was still catering to patrons at the time, causing minor chaos when drinks were tipped and spilled, causing a brief fight that resulted in Station Security being called in.

The Last Crusade Declares War Against Ivy LeagueFrom: CONCORDSent: 2010.12.28 18:34The Last Crusade has declared war on Ivy League. Within 24 hours fighting can legally occur between those involved.
In what analysts are suggesting may be a bad move, the 11 member corporation named “The Last Crusade” have declared war on Eve University, with its member count in excess of 1300 active members, leaving them outnumbered at more than 100:1.
The Eve University membership were expecting hostilities soon, although it was unclear who from, as a ‘Mining Op’ (better known by E-UNI members as a ‘wardec attractor’) had recently been posted on the calendar – this declaration comes into effect at 18:34 on the 29th, just 2 hours before the mining event had been scheduled to begin.
New students are ready and waiting to engage their new wartargets after the last campaign counted a total of one kill and one loss before the attackers summarily docked up when seeing the typical E-UNI ‘Crowd Tanking’ fleets entering the system, leading to the war being nullified by CONCORD.
As usual, those members who do not plan on participating in this wardec have been cleared to leave E-UNI for the duration, allowing them to continue their typical missions, industry and exploration in relative peace.
It is hoped that The Last Crusade are somewhat more active than the last combatants and will indeed ‘come out to play’, saving the pirates who frequent the losec systems around the E-UNI HQ the usual bored fleets looking for something, anything, to shoot – it is suspected however that this ‘Crusade’ may be one of the attackers last before they succumb to the E-UNI curse.
