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!”

This special report is brought to you by EVE University alumnus and Gallente Militia member Mos Superum, and in no way reflects the political views of EVE University or the Ivy League alliance.Tama, The Citadel — Earlier today, a ragtag band of Eve University alumni looked over their classroom textbooks, threw out Eve Essential Blobbing, 4th Edition, re-read Vaal’s ECM Anthology, 2nd Edition, and sent 6 pilots into combat with 3:1 odds against the Caldari militia.At approximately 03:45, a Caldari militia force of approximately 20 ships, including two Armageddons, camped in the lone station in Tama, home to the Central Research Nexus corporation (C-R-N).C-R-N is a Gallente militia corporation founded by alumnus Ezekiel Sulastin. In recent weeks, C-R-N has become home to several alumni, including Master Akira, Sabre A, Ricchar Drogo, Ulasim, Aiee, Cyleus Taestar, and this reporter, Mos Superum.Faced with overwhelming odds, a 6-man C-R-N gang of cruiser and frigate-sized ships debated docking at the station and waiting out the Caldari militiamen. The debate lasted 30 seconds.Taking the lead in coordinating a counterattack, alumnus Ricchar Drogo instructed all battleship-rated pilots to dock, change ships and undock. C-R-N’s lone ECM boat, a Falcon piloted by alumnus Cyleus Taestar, was instructed to focus on the ‘geddons on the station. On Ricchar’s orders, C-R-N pilots undocked two Dominixes, an Abbadon, and a Brutix, adding to an Arazu (this reporter), Falcon, and lone Nemesis stealth bomber.Combat commenced, with focused fire on the support ships and ECM assigned to the Caldari Armageddons. In less than 15 minutes, 10 Caldari militia ships, including the battleships and a Rapier, were destroyed, and the remaining Caldari militia retreated to nearby Nourvukaiken and the safety of Caldari-controlled space.Over the course of the next hour, C-R-N engaged and destroyed 4 more Caldari militia ships. A hapless, criminally flagged Vagabond also fell prey to C-R-N forces as alumnus Ulasim webbed and tackled the larger ship in a Taranis. The sole C-R-N loss was the Brutix class battlecruiser, piloted by Quintano.C-R-N expects continued aggression from Caldari forces, and predicts a significant increase pirate activity in the Tama system.– Mos Superum, EUNN Embedded Reporter

Many years ago, Morning Maniac, the CEO of Eve University started his corporation as a place to help teach new players about Eve. It has grown significantly over the years to what it became today. Its foundations are firmly entrenched in the idea of teaching new players. The road was not always so smooth with Eve University being involved in forays into 0.0 and various wars. There is much grandeur in New Eden, and with a corporation the size and strength of Eve University it is easy to forget where its foundations are and chase after that grandeur. In late 2005, Eve University helped found the alliance Big Blue, which lasted almost a year before disbanding. While it started out well the rigors of defending 0.0 space proved detrimental for Eve University. The teachers spent a great deal of their time fighting without having time to spend with the students, while the new players often were not ready for the rigors of constant warfare. What was learnt was that it is very easy for a corporation to lose its original purpose, getting distracted to pursue other goals that aren’t aligned with the very foundations it rests on. To this day Eve University does its best to hold to its neutrality and stay focused on the task of teaching. This is difficult for the members because there are many restrictions involved in staying neutral. It also means that ambitious projects cannot be undertaken without the danger of shifting Eve University away from its foundations. For this reason Eve University for many has been simply a way stop for people on their path to the wider galaxy. Although there are many others that still call it home. — Anonymous, EUNN

KORSIKI, THE FORGE — The newly formed news station, EUNN, has officially opened its doors today. The EUNN, or the ‘Eve University News Network’ is the official news agency of the popular school from which it gets its name. Their mission is simple: What happens in the Uni, they report, and they vow to keep all of their stories truthful and unbiased, a claim many news agencies make, but few succeed (we here at CaldariNet are in the latter category, of course).The opening ceremony was a site to behold. The 10 founding newscasters, to be listed at the end of this article, flanked Kelduum Revaan as he cut the crimson ribbon in front of the door – with a gilded las-cutter no less – and as the ribbon was cut, thunderous applause from the assembled crowd rang out. Following the ceremony, a banquet was held for anyone who cared to attend. Students mingled with teachers and outsiders, while the big brass of the University served food.EUNN’s newscenter is a state-of-the-art masterpiece, with the finest in broadcasting technology available. The talented crew is made up of tech-savvy members of Eve University. “Without them,” says Lord Wulfengheist, a reporter, “We’d be sunk.”The Reporters have been named as (in alphabetical order) Asuri Kinnes, Aurea Sibylla, Cazzah, Kody Apollo, Lord Wulfengheist, Melissa Dawn, Mos Superum, Peter Strasser, Theon Aidelius and last but not least, Turhan Bey.We have also been informed that members of the University also can submit stories to the EUNN reporters via the IVY GalNet communication forums, and look forward to hearing stores from our new competitor soon.– Syndicated From CaldariNet
