RELATED: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic's Future Lies With Destiny 2Īll solar systems in EVE are connected via stargates, typically used to travel from one system to another. To explain its significance, I have to familiarize you with a few concepts: PAPI’s immediate strategic goal is to deploy a Keepstar inside the region to act as a forward operating base for their fleet. Despite being heavily outnumbered, The Imperium are indefatigable and tenacious, enjoying the homefield advantage. “Fortress Delve,” as it has been referred, is a heavily-fortified region consisting of some 97 individual solar systems. After months of territorial gains by PAPI, they have advanced up to the border of Delve. Total war was coming back to EVE, and New Eden was on tenterhooks.Ĭrone: The Keepstar was part of the ongoing war started in July, and became the catalyst for the recent record-breaking battle in the system of FWST-8. This new super-coalition would become known colloquially as “PAPI.” Towards the end of June the leader of TEST, a player named Vily, announced they decided to end their non-invasion pact. Sometime in Q2 2020, rumors began circulating that Legacy Coalition had secured the support of PanFam (their former allies in the MBC) and Winter Coalition to go to war against The Imperium. Meanwhile, TEST would settle into their space and form a new superpower known as Legacy Coalition with several alliances in the vicinity.
In the ensuing years, The Imperium would consolidate its hold on Delve and expand into nearby regions, rebuilding fleets and developing inter-regional infrastructure in the space they controlled, possibly even exceeding their previous strength.

Wars routinely flare up in EVE, and control of different regions change hands regularly. Although they would remain uneasy neighbors, the pact held up. Despite the simmering tensions, the two groups settled on a formal non-invasion pact: Incursions into each other’s territory was permitted for fun and content, but attempts to seize territory would be in violation. TEST was also an integral part of the MBC, which just ousted the The Imperium. Once allies, relations broke down leading to what is known as the Fountain War of 2013.
TEST and the Goonswarm Federation have a long and complex history. In early 2017, TEST Alliance Please Ignore (TEST) relocated to the regions adjacent to Delve, right next to The Imperium. Their old territories in the north were divided amongst the constituents of the Money Badger Coalition (MBC), which dissolved after their goal of displacing the Imperium was achieved. After several months in the wilderness, they re-established themselves in the southwestern Delve region of the map. It’s since evolved into an in-game memorial site at which players can leave remembrances of friends who passed away in real life.Ĭrone: At the conclusion of World War Bee (also known as the ‘Casino War’), a coalition called The Imperium, led by the Goonswarm Federation, had been driven out of their space. The Molea Cemetery was also created by a player as a roleplaying endeavor, a place to inter the bodies of characters left drifting in space after battles. Over 2,000 people showed up, the majority of whom had never heard of Chappy just 24 hours before, to give him the most memorable party they could with hours of explosions and fireworks at the sun in Tunudan. Q: What has it been like to foster a community that creates its own content, such as the battle held for Chappy78's birthday in June and the development of Molea Cemetery?ĭan Crone, Community Developer: Chappy’s Birthday Bash came about due to an outpouring of goodwill from the community for a player with a terminal illness who wanted to spend his last birthday in EVE enjoying a massive brawl. Instead, we are humbled that we are in a position to help people get through these challenging times. However, we do not feel it is appropriate to celebrate a growth of the community due to consequences of a global pandemic. RELATED: Black Desert Online Developer Acquires EVE Online Dev CCP Games
