Vangel Won in Poker Tournament



Jita, The Forge - The Vangel Tournament at EOH Poker concluded on 07.08.113 with winner Maurospanthiras receiving an Amarrian Vangel cruiser valued at approximately 30 Billion ISK.

The Vangel is a limited edition cruiser produced exclusively as a prize for Alliance Tournament IX. While such rarities are seldom fielded in combat, the Vangel is described by one combat pilot, Shiroi Okami, as combining "the strengths of a Sacrilege and a Curse with the weaknesses of neither."

Runner-up Askgar Elzoop received a 12 month Pilot's Licence Extension (PLEX). The third place winner received 6 months in PLEX, while 4th place was awarded a Blood Raider Bhaalgorn battleship.

Tournament organizer Selene D'Celeste said that the event had gone smoothly and was very successful. EOH Poker currently holds over 9,000 capsuleer accounts and has tracked over 105 trillion ISK in wagers since its conception in year 109.

Maurospanthiras said he was excited for a chance to win a legendary ship. Having won it, he said he plans to keep the Vangel rather than sell it on for the 30 Billion ISK pricetag, but laughingly said "I can't fly Amarr for the life of me."

Runner-up Askgar Ezloop said he only signed up with EOH a week before the tournament began and so was amazed to discover that he had received a seat in the match. "I've never seen more than 1 billion ISK... so to suddenly have 12 PLEX, it'll change my... life."

EOH Poker has concluded a special 30-seat tournament to celebrate 30,000 registrations, awarding a 30 Billion ISK Vangel cruiser to the winner, Maurosanthiras, along with Pilot's Licence Extensions and Blood Raider ships for the remaining competitors.

Capsuleer Cloned by Sansha’s Nation



Rasile - A week ago, another Sansha wormhole appeared in the Rasile system where capsuleers battled and defeated a Sansha Revenant piloted by Slave Tedra01, a name also recognised as an Interstellar Correspondent reporter.

Tedra Engaged In the week prior, ISD Tedra Kerrigan gained access to a private facility in the Stain region. There, she was allowed an exclusive one-on-one interview with Sansha Kuvakei to discuss the increased Sansha activity within New Eden. There is now evidence suggesting that before her return, she was cloned and her memory wiped.

Upon hearing the news of the battle against her Sansha clone, ISD Tedra Kerrigan was shocked. She entered Rasile and gave visual confirmation of her own clone. It was at this time she received an anonymous letter containing the unaltered transcript of her interview with Sansha Kuvakei.

During the battle, Slave Tedra01's devoted cries "for Nation", were met equally by capsuleer's calls "for freedom". This abduction seems to be yet another case of civilians and capsuleers being drawn, unwillingly or unknowingly, into Sansha's ranks.

T.R.I.A.D Celebrates Capsuleer Reaching 10.00 Standing



Molden Heath - Teonusude Republic Independent Agency Division [T.R.I.A.D] has announced that a capsuleer has reached the highest agency standing available.

Axl Borlara has been crowned the first capsuleer in the agency's history to achieve the highest standing possible of 10.00, an achievement which T.R.I.A.D founder DeT Resprox, was very pleased to announce: "To reach 10.00 is an incredible achievement in itself and shows Axl Borlara's dedication to the cause. Axl is now the proud owner of the first ever issued 'T.R.I.A.D Elite' medal which is only awarded to those who have reached 10.00 agency standing."

Axl described his feelings towards receiving the highest standing and what he did to achieve it: "I am somewhat surprised to say the least, but very proud of the achievement... The majority has been supply missions via the T.R.I.A.D market. The agency has its own fully functioning market. Capsuleers can sell items to the agency, gaining agency standing and loyalty points as well as the obvious ISK."

When asked about capsuleer participation within T.R.I.A.D, DeT Resprox stated that "some campaigns can have up to 30 capsuleers involved. These campaigns can last several hours, days or even weeks depending on the objectives. In the past month, 137 missions have been taken up".

With such activity within the agency, it is surely only a matter of time before we see more capsuleers awarded the "T.R.I.A.D Elite" medal.

Sansha’s Nation Attacks Trade Routes



New Caldari, The Forge - Sansha's Nation forces have been assaulting trade routes throughout New Eden, disrupting both market hubs hubs and popular shipping routes.

Over the past two weeks, Sansha's Nation forces have attacked multiple solar systems including Kador Prime, New Caldari and Altrinur. It is their newfound interest in trade routes, however, that is causing concern among capsuleers.

Capsuleer Ace Echo, who was present during the New Caldari attack, said "This recent rash of attacks seems to be part of Kuvakei's plan to disrupt and destroy capsuleer resistance directly. Attacking the economic base of the galaxy is a sure way to grab attention and to do damage to the core of New Eden." He went on to speak specifically about the New Caldari incursion. "This assault, close to a gate into Jita, was successful in taking out many neutral trading ships that were unsuspecting of the dangers at the gate." He believed that a Nation attack in Jita itself would prove too difficult for a Nation force, however, drawing swift and powerful defence.

Capsuleer Grideris, a combat pilot with an anti-sansha stance, also expressed a belief that Sansha's Nation is focusing its attacks on trade routes. "I believe they are doing this to try and break our ability to fight them. If Sansha's Nation were able to effectively cut these trade hubs from the rest of New Eden, it would cripple us."

Capsuleer Hector von Hammerstorm, a self-declared Nation sympathizer, expressed a different view to Ace Echo and Grideris. "I don't think it's a full-out attack; rather, they are attacking those gates to remind capsuleers 'We know your trades routes, and we can do something about it, if we wish.'"

Vaerah Vahrokha, a trade specalist, provided an analysis of the actions of Sansha's Nation from an economic perspective. "Sansha's Nation attacks on trade routes are an attempt at cornering the markets and thus the progress of the affected regions. Whether this is just to disrupt and defeat defences or to convince the populations to accept Sansha's one-way deal is not known."

Vaerah offered advice for those caught up in Sansha's Nation attacks on trade hubs and shipping lanes. "Capsuleers may rake benefits from the situation. They may join the defendants as well-paid soldiers or may form a network of smuggling agile and fleet-defended ships to breach Sansha's Nation blockades and be rewarded by the local populations."
