Newbie void villains, the Triglavians, have been vaguely menacing players for almost a year, but they’re about to arrive in force, starting a war with regular space that players can join on either side. The outcome of all this will depend on players, and according to CCP, it’ll have lasting consequences on the game’s playable space.

Fleets will appear throughout known space, even including parts of the generally “safe” (a relative term in Eve) high space, and gradually ramp up their aggression as the weeks wear on. Both EDENCOM and the pythagorean invaders will erect mega-structures and deploy colossal new ships. Players will even be able to join in on the Triglavians' side, changing the outcome of the whole storyline. It’s a fight that will, according to CCP’s creative director Bergur Finnbogason, “deliver a universe-changing event with a series of activities and player-driven decisions that will span the summer and change the landscape of EVE forever!”
According to Eve’ssite, “Systems with an ongoing invasion will see increased harvesting rates and extra sources of resources. The Triglavian presence means that usually ‘safe’ high-security spaces may become extremely dangerous, but also create lucrative opportunities”.
It’s been a rough year for a lot us, and I can think of worse ways to get away for a while than joining a big ol' spacenerd war for a few weeks. Eve remains free to play, although subscribers will raise character skills faster and have a lot more options. All that stuff you had in your hangar back in the day is probably still around, you know. Maybe it’s time, eh?
