The start of the third and final installment in the year-long Triglavian Invasion expansion, is now live! As seismic events occur and continue to unfold over the coming weeks and months, Capsuleers will have important decisions to make as they choose between defending the Empires of New Eden or siding with the mysterious Triglavian Collective. These choices will have a direct impact on how the story develops, and will have lasting consequences in New Eden, ensuring that life in the cluster will never be the same again!

The 17th birthday of EVE Online will be marked by daily Capsuleer Day Celebration login rewards! Running from 5 May to 19 May, rewards will include SKINs, apparel, Skill Points, Filaments and Boosters, with Omega Clone State Capsuleers receiving all the Alpha rewards, plus bigger and better Omega gifts too.

You must log in on 10 out of 14 days during the event to receive all items, and Capsuleers who upgrade to Omega during the event can retroactively claim all the Omega rewards they missed before the end.

To commemorate the anniversary of the birth of Capsuleers in New Eden and earn goodwill with the independent pilots of the cluster, CONCORD, the Empires and Upwell are preparing a series of gifts for Capsuleers. However, a large-scale attack from the Triglavian Collective against their joint production and research facilities threatens to disrupt the celebration! CONCORD is requesting that Capsuleers seek out these besieged facilities in order to drive away the Triglavian forces and claim extra gifts.

There will be Capsuleer Day Clash event sites available from 7 May to 20 May throughout New Eden, restricted to allow Battlecruisers only, with more advanced sites all over Lowsec, Nullsec and wormhole space. Rewards will include new SKINs, limited time cerebral accelerators, limited time standings boosters and special limited time 10 pilot Needlejack Filaments!

A new feature has come to EVE Portal, the official EVE Online companion app. Exclusively for players in Omega Clone state, the Jita PLEX Market will enable you to trade PLEX anytime and anywhere, directly from your mobile device via the EVE Portal app.

Alton Haveri reports as Capsuleer aid prevents a number of Triglavian assault forces from destroying EDENCOM production facilities and stealing technology.

In a change of tactical approach, CONCORD and the four Empires have set up EDENCOM, led by Provost Marshal Kasiha Valkanir, to provide a unified command for fortification and defense across New Eden.

The Triglavians seem to be amassing an invasion fleet at a dedicated staging area, with a number of unknown structures of mysterious purpose on site. Kasiha Valkanir assures that new weapons are being developed and built, and the Arataka Research Consortium report on potential invasion targets.

Coming 26 May, further improvements to the gameplay mechanics of structures will be introduced in the Forsaken Fortress update as part of the Eclipse Quadrant.

Since the introduction of structures with the Citadel expansion, thousands of structures have been built in New Eden. Many of these structures have been used for a variety of purposes by players, with some structures acting as Headquarters, key strategical beachheads, or even as logistical warehouses. For some of these structure deployments, their use may have dwindled over time to the point where they are no longer maintained by their owners. As a result, these forsaken fortresses proliferate in space as ambitions, conflict, and entrepreneurs rise and fall in New Eden. Cleaning up your sovereign space by removing these abandoned structures can be a frustrating experience, a topic that has been brought up by the community and CSM alike.
