KORSIKI, THE FORGE — Early End of war sees students return to classThe Crimson Federation, a mercenary alliance, has officially retraced the war against EVE University after 5 days of sporadic fighting. The war started off cool and saw very little action for the majority of the war. Students and teachers alike agreed that the war failed to deliver. Fortunately, this gave many uni students the change to practice fleet command without the pressure of major combat. “[Fleet Command] is more nerve wracking and exciting than I thought” remarked Michael Honcho, one of the students to command his first fleet.Ironically in the end, after the retraction, the war was most intense with one battle almost going capital. The incident occurred when six members of the Eve University Low Sec Apprenticeship (LSA), were engaged by a Thanatos Carrier and an Abbadon Battleship. Fleet Admiral Silentbrick, moved to mobilize a University Capital whilst Director of Operations Dee Carson, raced 25 jumps with Uni fleet comprised of 30 mixed ships to reinforce the position. The Crimson Federation responded by switching to smaller ships while bringing in further Capital reinforcements. The original enemy carrier pilot was destroyed in an Ishtar with no further fighting occurring as the uni forces withdrew.The Retraction itself came while Crimson Federation forces were scattered. Unable to contend against a far larger Eve University fleet, they retracted. No shots were fired during that time.Following the end-of-war grace period, the Korsiki School of Applied Knowledge was the usual scene of well-organized chaos with a surprising lack of fatal collisions being cause for celebratory cheer. Students were seen piloting nearly everything that would have previously been a liability during the war, from haulers to barges, shuttles to faction ships. Everything was uncovered, unlocked, and undocked. SAK Hangar Control was nearly overwhelmed, but found time to send us the following. “Go away, we’re busy!”With the war over for the forseeable future, recruiting is once again open and pilots can join in Korsiki II, School of Applied Knowledge or any starter system.

KORSIKI, THE FORGE — Haiduken War Comes to a CloseStudents and teachers of Eve University celebrated the end of a 9 day war from Haiduken (.HAI.) Corporation. The war was retracted on the 10th of October and ends over a week of victories. Despite initial losses from inattentive players and a few over zealous students, Eve University quickly adapted, fighting back and pushing to bring the casualties on both sides to equal levels, while inflicting far higher financial losses on it’s enemy.Despite disruptions to missioning, mining, classes and speeches, University members are happy with the outcome of the war. “I think it’s safe to say that both sides have enjoyed the engagement.” states Kelduum Revaan, the Ivy Leagues Director of Diplomacy.Many student gained valuable PvP experience, such as Seifer Al’Masy, Aquadictus and Mackers UK, a former Factional Pilot who led EU operations for the first time. “Clear communications calms the pilot. Calm pilots means they can concentrate more on flying their ships rather than being left behind and being killed. They ‘wont’ be left behind, as they clearly know where they should be going” mentioned Mackers in a public report after the action. For others, it was their first taste of PvP and considered a success.Haiduken Corporation used Interceptors and Battleships with the aide of outside help in the form of logistics to great effect throughout the war effort. Eve University used their numbers to field superior tackling and electronic warfare ability. Despite the differing combat styles, both sides fought with healthy respect and appreciation for their enemies.The war was marked by several notable events. The Dark Horses declared war and were quickly caught in the crossfire with four losses and no kills, withdrawing soon after. Mackers UK again led an EU fleet on a suicidal charge that resulted in the loss of around 20 Ivy League ships. Not all was serious business however. An EU fleet reportedly took to mining Veldspar in enemy territory and yet another found themselves in Haajinen, crippled with laughter, clearly enjoying the last pulsating moments of the war. Morale was at an all time high.The war retraction came while Aphser, leading the destruction of a Scimitar logistics ship and guarded by six enemy battleships in Korsiki, resulting in the withdrawal of the war declaration. The last operation was a resounding success with zero losses under Aphsers steadfast command.During the dwindling hours of the war retraction, Fleet Admiral Silentbrick, led an Eve University expedition into BWF-ZZ, a former Big Blue territory in Null space. The fleet was wiped out however, a good time was had by all; except perhaps for a Unista pilot by the name of EYEDOLL, who had the misfortune of being the only Battleship pilot in the Fleet Operation.As the grace period came to a close outside a station in Poinen, Unista Pilots gathered for a pow-wow session, forming a conga line of ships which included KillerofMen, MobyDick and Orenishii of .HAI., with mutual respects being paid in local communication channels.– CazzahEUNN Reporter

Korsiki, Eve University Campus — Eve is a game that is unique in that it greatly rewards real life skills as much as in game skills. Important skills needed in Eve also include critical thinking, organization and people management. In the interest of developing such skills, Eve University is sponsoring an upcoming Event called The Shipwrights Competition.Over 130million ISK in prizes have been offered for competitors to build a ship and race it on a specially made racetrack that is currently under construction near Planet II in the Forge region of Korsiki .Students, young and old, have been requested to step up and practise their organization skills. By pulling together a team, they will have to tackle the construction of a racing ship and then take on the task of racing it during the competition. Such real life logistics skills are critical for future careers in business corporations, alliance logistics, fleet command, and corporation management alike and the competition will serve well to all of those who participate.Competitors not only walk away with prizes, they also emerge showing people that they too can be a valuable asset to any corporation. They will have proven the real life skills desperately needed and sought after by all corporations in New Eden.– Kody Apollo, Events Manager

Korsiki, The Forge — Eve University is pleased to announce the receipt of significant ship contributions from two students who are leaving the Uni to found their own venture.Former student Snasty, now CEO of ‘The Hippies’, provided the Uni hangars with more than 100 ship hulls as a parting gift. Including frigates, cruisers, haulers & destroyers, the donation will provide exactly the kind of leg up to new players that Eve University is known for. “It came to me in a dream, really. I saw a way that I could continue to show my support for Eve University and the Uni mission even though it is time for me to move on,” said Snasty.Not to be left on the sideline, former student Filth, Snasty’s wingman, protege and wake up service, has also provided Eve University with his own parting gift: a rigged, fully T2 fitted Drake! Filth commented, “Man, it’s like, all about the tank, man! I mean, have you seen the freakin’ tank on these babies? It’s so totally awesome! I had to get a new paint job to fly with The Hippies anyway, man. Gunmetal blue is so out! Paisley is where it’s at, man!”Eve University Director of Operations, Dee Carson acknowledged the generosity of the gifts. “Filth and Snasty may be their names, but their actions are among the cleanest in an oft times dirty world. All of us at Eve University thank them for their kindness. Their gifts will be used to continue to provide the resources that new students need to be successful. Our former students continue to be most supportive of Eve University and our mission and we are always touched by their gifts. As soon as that Drake gets aired out, you can bet that Kody Apollo will be devising a stellar event with that marvelous ship as the prize!”
