ALDRAT, METROPOLIS – Classes were suddenly disrupted on the 14th of July as Black Water Mercenaries declared war against Ivy League, marking the first war for many students. Excitement faded further as enemy war targets failed to show.

Not one to waste a war, Uni leadership took the time to plan a field trip against old enemies – Adventures of the Gummi Bears [AOGB], war targets of a previous war. The Gummi Bears had been discovered with a sizable industrial presence in wormhole space – 17 Player Owned Structures (POSes) – large, shielded towers that protected industrial modules, ships and equipment within the protective bubble.

The result? A stunningly successful and educational operation that resulted in 9.5 billion ISK in damages and the destruction of all Gummi POSes. Continue reading →

A Uni fleet completing a jump during the Dragonslayer op

ALDRAT, METROPOLIS – July 10/11th – An Eve University fleet of 163 students returned victorious from “Dragonslayer VI” an anti-capital low sec op, which began in the late hours of the tenth of July, having destroyed an Amarr Archon class carrier.

EUNN Reporter Zer0 Lantern tells the story:

It was happening again, the regular silence becoming an almost predictable affair – I myself was going over my ship this last week, checking and re-checking. I prepared a spare ship, just in case. Another ‘Dragon Slayer’ operation was going to
happen tonight, this time the pressure was on – the even numbered Dragon Slayer Ops were rumoured to be cursed with failure.

Many Unistas having missed out on epic adventures of past glory showed up in numbers this time, most obvious in the final line-up – the fleet was numbered over 163 pilots. All armed to the teeth and hungry for some dragons. Continue reading →

A Recruitment Officer prepares to call some more interviews in the lobby of the Eve Uni Public Channel

ALDRAT, METROPOLIS – Unrefined students continue to spill into Aldrat after a massive applicant explosion occurred last month, but hope is on the horizon given the announcement of a series of reforms announced to deal with the issue.

The incident recently came to a head when the University Warbots owned by Fleet Admiral Silentbrick finally ran out of ammunition.

With active queue numbers regularly reaching above 50, and the total queue size extending to over 800, Recruitment Manager Darian Reymont announced a set of overhauls aimed at dealing with the queue once and for all.

These reforms centre on a five major changes aimed to allow easier processing of the spill.

1. The creation of Assistant Recruitment Managers to deal with managerial bottlenecks.
2. Increased Recruitment Officer feedback in the form of stat tracking and monthly staff meetings.
3. Increased departmental and morale boosting events.
4. Greater accountability and a mandatory recruitment quota for Recruitment Officers
5. A new rewards and recognition system for the performance of Recruitment Officers

ALDRAT, METROPOLIS An E-UNI fleet of 144 students successfully returned victorious, destroying a Caldari Chimera class carrier after an anti-capital low sec op – “Dragonslayer V” – begun in the late hours of the 3rd of July. Our ever bold Uni management, spearheaded by a Fleet Commander (FC) who wishes to remain anonymous to avoid retaliation, decided to mount a ‘Dragonslayer’ operation to try and remove some of the pirate controlled Carrier class capital vessels that have been menacing legitimate traffic in the low sec Metropolis region. Excitement was building throughout Eve Uni as the op approached, and eager rookies and bored vets alike looked forward to the chance to venture into low sec in force. A sizable fleet was gathered, amid much secrecy, with enough heavy damage dealing ships to deal with even a well defended capital. For many unistas, this would be their first experience with massive fleets “When I finally arrived at the meeting point it was, no, I have no words for it, I was simply struck with awe.” commented student reporter Zer0 Lantern. The Uni fleet aimed for a stealthy approach, garnered surprising little attention as it moved. Indeed, EUNN reporters continue to remain baffled at the ability of a crowd of bloodthirsty rookies to remain silent for more than five minutes. Advance groups moved ahead of the fleet, investigating popular pirate hangouts, which were found to be disappointingly (and surprisingly) free of unsavoury sorts.]]>
