Eve Uni Agrees To End It

[i]KORSIKI, THE FORGE ALDRAT, METROPOLIS[/i] – July 21st – an announcement was posted informing students and staff that Eve University would be moving the location of the main headquarters from Korsiki, in The Forge Region, to Aldrat, which is located in Metropolis.Korsiki has long been the home of Eve University, one of the most feared anti-merc organizations in the entire Eve galaxy. For years, Eve Uni has helped to guarantee the safety of miners and mission-runners living in The Forge region by antagonizing merc corporations and drawing their fire away from defenseless training organizations such as Seppuku Warriors. “It has been proven time and time again, when mercs are forced to live in constant fear of our dreadnaught fleets, they stay in their stations and POS bubbles.” commented one of the Eve Uni fleet commanders.Eve Uni spies, who have wormed their way into various merc organizations in The Forge region, report that many of the merc pilots are nearly out of Mountain Dew and Hot Pockets. Depressed by the lack snack food, and pale from too much time spent indoors, a few of the merc pilots have been demanding that their leadership loosen wartime rules and give them permission to take one of the last remaining Jump Freighters to Jita to buy moar snacks. Sadly, and much to the dismay of the merc pilots, the leadership has informed them that until the war ends, all merc pilots are to abide by normal Wartime SOP rules which means they remain on lockdown until further notice.When informed of the internal turmoil that Eve University is causing among the large mercenary corporations in the area, Kelduum felt compelled to issue a statement saying, “Eve University would like to offer a sincere apology to the Merc community. It was never our intention to cause so much strife and heartache with our constant griefplay tactics”To view the full article, click the “Read more” link

First Strike

[i]IDLE EMPIRE[/i] – to some, it is a feared pirate organisation, terrorising the honest folk of low security space. To the students prepping their ships in the School of Applied Knowledge hangar, it is another obstacle between them and peace. Many are only beginning their careers as capsuleers, yet most know what to expect – another routine game of cat and mouse.Or so they think. A sharp eyed Uni pilot, on his maiden voyage in a covert ops blares through the communications channel – an enemy Jump Freighter is slowboating in Obanen.Uni Student McFighterCloud, leading in his Raven, hastily forms a strike force of 28 ships. The fleet is moving in less than five minutes. Uni veterans are wary – such a target is almost certainly bait.Yet no trap materialises, and the Uni fleet intecepts the ship in Kaaputenen, unleashing their firepower on the defenceless ship. As the ship nears destruction, a single word is broadcast across system.”Ransom?”The answer is not given in words.The cargo of the freighter would soon follow the same fate, as the small, mobile fleet was not prepared for the rich spoils – starbase components, skillbooks, and raw materials. valued by Uni killboards . In a few minutes, there was no proof the ship ever existed, and the triumphant unistas, returning back to SAK for a round of warbeer, were credited with the first documented Jump Freighter loss of IDLE, valued at around 5.6 billion ISK.~~ Loutsos~~CazzahEUNN Reporters

Brawls Continue in the SAK Parking Lot

[i]KORSIKI, THE FORGE – [/i] – No sooner had the good students of Eve University laced their brand-new white trainers of peace than the unsightly scuffs of war descended and soiled them for all to see. Having become bloated and, frankly, uncomfortable chomping through the gelatin-heavy Gummi Bears with their bland yet chewy tactics, the men and women of Eve University were looking forward to some well deserved R&R, or at least what passes for it in New Eden. Rather, a series of wardecs ensued that proceeded to not so much raise the hackles of students and staff, but their eyebrows instead.Click the Read more link to view the full article

Eve Uni Nibbles at Gummi Bears

After a bruising tripartite war against the Seppuku Warriors, RAYPE, Inc., and Sharks With Frickin’ Laser Beams, most E-UNI pilots simply wondered who would be next to wardec the Uni, assuming that next war would come soon. Few were surprised to see a new declaration 3 days after the cessation of previous hostilities, but nobody anticipated the declarant.A new corporation, Adventures of the Gummi Bears (AOGB), was quick to bribe CONCORD to ignore the Yulai Convention. Based in the nullsec system 37S-KO, AOGB lists but 7 members on the corporate roster, fueling speculation inside the Uni as to both the severity of the threat and the reasons for the declaration. Many assumed the declaration was intended to “grief” the University, while others have asserted that some prime mover is funding the continual declarations of war fro behind the scenes. Hypotheses abound, but evidence is scarce.Click the “Read more” link to continue.
