CONCORD Biosecurity Responders are available to be dispatched on emergency call to any space stations, orbital infrastructure or other space-industrial locations in response to disease and pathogen outbreaks of all kinds. The challenges of maintaining biosecurity against infectious pathogens and other disease vectors in space-based infrastructure are multiplied by the cosmopolition and highly-interconnected nature of New Eden's space industry and trade networks. This long-recognised problem was for many decades dealt with by the empires, nations and corporations of New Eden in a rather piecemeal fashion, with disputes over jurisdiction and differing standards commonly arising. Following the Kyonoke Crisis of YC119, and the passage of the interstellar "Hope for All Act", CONCORD established Biosecurity Response Teams, and began to build up its capacity and expertise in the fields of epidemiology and disease management. To that end, CONCORD reached out to partners such as the University of Caille's Department of Epidemiology, Hedion University's School of Medicine, the Sisters of EVE, and the Society of Conscious Thought. Biosecurity Responders are a vital link in any effort to isolate and analyze infectious pathogens spreading through New Eden's space infrastructure, and crucially to prevent spread to planetary populations. Research to develop effective biosecurity methods, treatments and pathogen controls rely on the field research and data provided by the Biosecurity Reponse Teams.

The Capsuleers are considered an elite group across New Eden and this vibrant nanocoating marks that status on Capsuleer Day XX. The YC125 celebrations are the 20th anniversary of the dawn of the Capsuleer Age and the opening up of New Eden's frontiers by immortal clone space pilots. Capsuleer Day XX is a moment for celebration of "The Elite" across New Eden.

"As Holy Amarr marks the end of the third year of the reign of Her Most Sublime and Imperial Majesty Catiz I, First Apostle of the True Faith and Sovereign Defender of the Imperial Rite, the Theology Council's Supreme Sobor of Theology affirms the divine inspiration of the Empress's Pax e Kilizhi Do and promulgates it to all who shelter within the embrace of Holy Amarr and the Imperial Rite." – Theology Council notice of the publication of the Pax e Kilizhi Do, or "Peace of the Two Swords", on the third anniversary of Empress Catiz I's coronation. This nanocoating celebrates both the third anniversary of the coronation of Empress Catiz I and the publication of the theological work setting out the doctrine of the Peace of the Two Swords in a new addition to Amarr Scripture titled Pax e Kilizhi Do. The work articulates the vision of Empress Catiz I for the Amarr Empire's future and her invocation of the ancient doctrine that the ruler of the Empire wields the sword of spiritual authority alongside a sword of temporal power.

The jubilee of an Amarr ruler's coronation is a high holiday in the Imperial Calendar and is celebrated across the Amarr Empire. The ancient tradition of flying banners of purple and gold to show loyalty to the Imperial Throne is echoed in these nanocoatings that bear the coronation crest of Empress Catiz I.

The Amarr Empire has been exploiting lava planets for the rich resources to be had from the constant churn of magma for ages past. The vast territories controlled by the Amarr contain hundreds of such planets and the expertise of their planetary extraction engineers in the field of lava planet mining is well known across New Eden. Empress Catiz I's own family, House Tash-Murkon, has considerable interests in the mining industries and is noted for its extensive harvesting of resources from the many lava planets it directly controls through its regional fief. The "Lavacore Imperial" nanocoating is testament to the flaming riches of the Amarr Empire's lava planets and the vast wealth that the Empress herself has derived from such worlds.

"Faith is an oasis from which we must draw in order to live. Like an oasis, faith is a gift from the Lord that must be shared with all. Like an oasis, faith must be used with measure and not wasted. Like an oasis, faith should be at the center of a garden. For it is only in the garden of a just and truthful society, watered by well measured faith, that we may cultivate the spirit of the people." – The Scriptures, Seventh Letter of St. Junip of Aerui

Among their people, the practice of identifying and deifying savants has been part of Sani Sabik life for over a thousand years, but has in more recent times taken a back seat as the Blood Raiders in particular have widened their pursuits to the acquisition, inspection, and manipulation of blood, with this becoming their core focus. The only remaining echoes of the lauding of savants are in the near worship of Omir Sarikusa and in the unstated but general belief among the Sani Sabik that each and every one of them is a savant of New Eden, having all in one way or another been the beneficiaries of the blood rituals.

Zydrine Burn is a potent liquor that is loosely related to the more refined Zydrine Wine, both of these green-hued drinks being produced using rice leaves, a certain portion of the grains, and whatever additives are appropriate to the style of drink. While Zydrine Wine can be an extraordinarily delicate and subtle drink, with the finest generally held to be brewed from the rice plants of Intaki Prime, its more powerful cousin is a somewhat pungent and vividly green brew. Rumors suggest that some versions of Zydrine Burn use as ingredients effluent from Quafe production, liquefied fedo scent glands, or even the notorious protein delicacies in powdered form. Whatever the case, a market for this harshly memorable liquor has sprung up among space workers of all kinds, and few space station bars lack a bottle or two of the stuff. Among planetary populations the brew has a more notorious reputation, popularly considered the tipple of underclasses, criminals, and ruthless capsuleer pirates.

Designed by Angel Cartel engineers, and released as a tribute to the leader of the Dominations' notorious "Blaze" hit and run squadron who was lost in battle in late YC119, this nanocoating was made available in very limited numbers for only six hulls. Known only as "Blaze", a name earned from both the trail of burning wreckage usually left in his wake and his appearance with a golden red beard, his squadron became his namesake after hundreds of daring raids against Republic Fleet assets. Today, they wear his colors in honor of his legacy as one of the Angel Cartel’s most successful and notorious pirates. "Gone, but never forgotten. His name lives on in all of you. Hoist his colors, and decimate anything that stands in your way." Trald Vukenda – CEO, Dominations.

The Arkombine is a splinter group of disillusioned clone soldiers. Betrayed by the nations they swore to serve they now seek independence and the means to undo what has been done to them. Their ranks are comprised of clone soldiers from all four of the major empires. With the rise of the Deathless Circle and new cloning technology holding out the hope of healing the deepest psychological scars of the old warclones, and catapulting them to new heights, the Arkombine have gathered many old soldiers of the first and second generations of mercenary clones to their ranks. The Arkombine Arisen nanocoating is a dramatic and proud statement of the determination of all warclones to survive, prosper, and rise beyond the persecution and conflict inflicted on them by the imperialist ambitions and militarist adventurism of New Eden's empires and factions.

The Ghost's Hex pattern of nanocoating originated as a livery for the Ghost 1300 range of economy personal atmospheric flyers made by the Hex Aerodynamix corporation, a subsidiary of the Roden Shipyards industrial conglomerate. Following the success of the company's Angel's Hex promotional campaign, the Ghost's Hex nanocoating was also made available in a spaceship format for certain popular capsuleer vessels.

Polar lights are a common sight on many planets across New Eden, varying according to atmospheric conditions, planetary magnetic fields, and the stellar wind of the local star. Many cultures consider these dramatic displays in the skies of their planets to be awe-inspiring and dramatic, and they are the source of much myth and art. In some cases, extreme aurora activity can be a portent of impending disaster, and increased or even extreme stellar activity can indeed wreak havoc on inhabited planets. Even so, the Luminae Polaris nanocoating celebrates the more attractive and inspiring side of these dramatic phenomena.

Achur spiritualism takes many forms, and influences many aspects of their culture, but aside from the monastic orders of Achura (Saisio III), it rarely approaches the level of organized religion. The Stargazers are an example of a particular form of popular Achur spiritualism that eschews supernatural revelation in favor of a philosophy that aims to understand the world through observation and contemplation of the stars. Using visionary interpretations based on a kind of "as above, so below" thinking, the Stargazers emphasize awareness of the surrounding universe and understanding of the living world beyond the self. Some seasons are traditionally considered more propitious than others for viewing certain types of stars. The season that falls early in the YC year, which can shift around relative to the standard calendar, is called the "Season of Red Stargazing" and is considered the proper time for viewing red-colored stars. This season is also one of many festivals, although the Red Stargazing festival is particularly popular.

Mind Clash fans across New Eden were stunned by the upset victory of Kiyria "Redclaw Sable" Okaada at the 100th Worlds Championships in October YC122. Held under heavy security, the event at the Grand Teigjon Resort & Casino in Vellaine saw many of the "Greats" of the Mind Clash world compete. Even so, relative newcomer Okaada saw off the powerful field, capping her first time win of the Caldari State Championships with the Worlds crown. To celebrate the meteoric rise of the new phenomenon, Kiyria Okaada's management commissioned a commemorative nanocoating aimed at the capsuleer market. With capsuleers a significant demographic among the most dedicated Mind Clash fans, the Redclaw Sable nanocoating is expected to be popular with aficionados of the complex, mentally-demanding neuro-holographic sport.

Only the most elite pilots of the capsuleer alliances earn a spot in the Independent Gaming Commission's Alliance Tournament, or other top-level spaceship combat events organized or sponsored by the IGC. Those capsuleers who score match victories or other notable achievements can be seen sporting the "Triumphant Elite" nanocoating, specially commissioned by the IGC to celebrate some of the most skilled spaceship combat pilots in New Eden.

The vast low-lying deltas and marshy plains of Luminaire's Western Morthane region have a long and dark history in folklore and in the ancient warring states period of the Gallente home world's past. Inhabitants on the periphery of the Great Morthani Wastes have many legends of spirits of light and flame seen wandering the swamps and several of these are feared as devils and demonic beings. The Western Morthani natives called the most-feared of these spirits the "Boitata", and believed it to be a fiery serpent with a penchant for consuming the eyes of the dead and perhaps even the sinful living. Garouni settlers on the far western edge of the Great Wastes called this legendary demon "Malagrin" and also noted the tendency for livestock drowned in the marshes to attract these eery lights. Military disaster is also a feature of the history of the Great Morthani Wastes. In its epic campaign to overthrow the ancient slaveholder Empire of Morthane, the Garoun Empire made several attempts to bypass the blistering deserts of Southern Morthane by marching armies through the western swamps. The legions of Garoun failed to penetrate the grim marshlands at every try, giving up on the route after an entire army, wracked by disease and starvation was destroyed by Morthani raiders at the south-eastern edge of the great wastes. Some tales are told of lights dancing on the corpses of the lost soldiers of Garoun and this has become part of the Malagrin and Boitata legends on either side of the vast swamps.

Military experts have studied rogue drones extensively in an effort to learn useful techniques from these inscrutable, collective intelligences. Many observer units have attempted close-range study using a combination nanocoating and holoprojection method of imitating rogue drones, so as to achieve a kind of camouflage effect. The success rate of such attempts has not been released publicly but is thought to somewhat low. Oddly enough, the rather unusual look that can be achieved using the attempted camouflage method has caught the eye of some spaceship captains. The nanocoating and holography patterns may have limited utility as practical camouflage but its aesthetic properties has a certain appeal and can be seen being flaunted by some pilots plying the spacelanes of New Eden.

Calling forth the power and wisdom of heavenly creatures from Jin-Mei mythology, this nanocoating is a symbolic celebration of the awesome capabilities and reach of the capsuleer pilots of New Eden.

The federal Gallente Police Directorate traces its roots back to the original planet-wide police service of the Gallente Union on Luminaire. The Gallente Union Police & Public Safety Service (GUPPSS) was intended to operate as an "all union service", with its officers recruited and trained by the federal government of the Gallente Union. While retaining basic membership of the GUPPSS, and with some serving as federal police, most officers served in distinct units under the political oversight of member states. The concept broke down as the Gallente Union expanded throughout space and evolved into the modern day Gallente Federation. As outlying systems, planets and colonies chose to wholly organize their own police forces, the "Guppies" were increasingly seen as an anachronism by the heavily-populated and powerful member states of Luminaire. Ultimately, the homeworld states followed the example of the sovereign polities of the Gallente Federation and set up entirely independent police forces. The Gallente Union Police & Publice Safety Service became the Gallente Police Directorate, and found a new lease of life as a police force operating across Federation space with jurisdiction over federal domains. Detractors of this service still refer to it by the old nickname of "Guppies".

The Glittering Dream nightclub is one of the most famous venues situated on Caille's astounding Crystal Boulevard, noted for the exclusivity of its clientele as much as for an architecture that triples down on the synthetic diamond setting of the boulevard it sits on. A major tourist attraction, the sparkling slabs of the Crystal Boulevard obscure a deep, dark purpose as beneath it lies the continuity of government and military command bunker complex for the planet of Gallente Prime. Similarly, the towering triple helix spire of the Glittering Dream nightclub, fashioned without and within from expensive crystalline carbonides, appears to be just a high-class nightclub. Here though is where the political, military, business and even criminal elite of Luminaire meet to discuss their most secret affairs in assurance of privacy and confidentiality.

Inner Zone Shipping has increased its internal security forces in the wake of the instability and increased threats to space travel posed by pirate activity, Drifter attacks and the Triglavian invasion. The Inner Zone Vanguard clear shipping routes of likely threats and provide a rapid response should IZS transports be attacked.

This nanocoating is a prestige livery designed for the elite attendees of the Guardian's Gala and is a companion piece to the 'Amaranthine Divide' facial augmentation. A mantle of amaranthine desire adorns the flanks of any ship using this romantically charged nanocoating from the Guardian Angels.

The Angel's Hex pattern of nanocoating originated as a livery for the Angel 4700 range of luxury personal atmospheric flyers made by the Hex Aerodynamix corporation, a subsidiary of the Roden Shipyards industrial conglomerate. In a promotional campaign, relying on the large followings of capsuleers among baseliner populations, the nanocoating was made available in a spaceship format for certain popular capsuleer vessels.

The substance nicknamed 'Deathglow' can be obtained by refining a rare mineral obtained from asteroids that have been altered by the strange gravitational and electromagnetic effects of certain deadspace pockets lying in the zones between 'shallow', stable deadspace and the truly twisted depths of abyssal deadspace. The Deathglow Hunters are notorious criminals and partake of frenzied rituals using the substance. Recent intelligence suggests the Deathglow gangs are largely affiliated with the Blood Raider Covenant, a development that may indicate a desire on the part of the Blood Raiders to expand their operations into the drugs and boosters trade.

In chaos, opportunity. In death, profit. Take what's yours, burn the rest. Capsuleer pirates are among the most feared predators of New Eden’s space lanes, posing a deadly threat to almost any non-capsuleer traffic and a serious problem for all but the most experienced loyalist and law-abiding capsuleers. Capsuleers, the so-called “Empyreans”, are considered a disruptive element by many but the outlaws among them can reach levels of notoriety that are usually the preserve of major corporation or alliance leaders.

Traditional imagery of the petals of a blossom long associated with love and desire adorn the flanks of any ship using this romantically charged nanocoating from the Guardian Angels. Whether those choosing to display this tribute to the Eros Blossom are celebrating a love held close or are seeking another to receive their devotion is left to the observer to decide.

Noting the success of holoreels starring actors using Impetus's Glamourex neural booster, the Nugoeihuvi Corporation sought to develop a similar product, albeit one placing greater emphasis on boosting base sex appeal rather than a more subtle charismatic charm. The Heartsurge project was farmed out to one of the giant NOH megacorp's many subsidiaries, Bakkomolu Productions, which in turn contracted with a neurotweaker lab based in the Mivora constellation, on the edges of the Forge region. Progress on the development of Heartsurge was so promising that Bakkomolu commissioned the nanodesigner Jovaa Seriazic to produce a series of promotional ship nanocoatings. When Bakkomolu Productions was dissolved following a legal dispute with NOH's corporate rival Wiyrkomi, Nugoeihuvi may have hoped to generate a return from the new Heartsurge booster. Unfortunately, the neurotweaker lab had disappeared leaving behind only a scattering of circumstantial evidence that it was an Angel Cartel front all along. This theory was later confirmed when Heartsurge began to be used by producers of black market holoreel titles linked to the infamous Cartel. For his part, with Bakkomolu's dissolution creating a breach of contract, Jovaa Seriazic made some profit on his nanodesign work by selling the license for the nanocoatings to the Serpentis Corporation.

The blazing orange-gold dawn of Luminaire over the mountains of Gallente Prime shines from this nanocoating celebrating the birth of the Gallente Federation on its ancient home planet.

The Association for Interdisciplinary Research is an independent organization focused heavily on research and development of new technologies across multiple industries. The company has subdivisions that cover everything from combat-oriented technology, industrial and economic endeavors, and exploration-focused pursuits. AIR Laboratories, a subdivision of AIR, is responsible for oversight and management of the AIR Capsuleer Training Program.

Eager to support and promote the efforts of capsuleers hunting Triglavian structures and vessels, EDENCOM commissioned the design of a unique nanocoating for use on ships piloted by capsuleers aggressively taking the fight to the enemy. The "Eden's Hunters" nanocoating displays clearly the allegiance of capsuleer seek, destroy and salvage teams to the cause of the New Eden Common Defense Initiative. Funds from the sale of this nanocoating will go directly to the New Eden Defense Fund, aiding the struggle against the invaders.

Alongside their humanitarian and scientific pursuits, the Sisters of EVE are involved in many diplomatic and cultural endeavors aimed at promoting friendship between the disparate peoples of the cluster. The SOE's Friendship League is an organization dedicated to advancing good relations between all societies independently of the political and diplomatic maneuvering of the empires and factions of New Eden. Members of the SOE Friendship League are trained to observe high standards of discretion and impartiality in their work, despite the difficulties often posed by diametrically opposed political, economic, and cultural interests across the empires and worlds of the cluster. The Friendship League is occasionally accused of being a front for less altruistic SOE operations but nothing has ever come to light to definitively tarnish its reputation.

The Triglavian Collective has not been universally opposed by all in New Eden, with subversive elements across New Eden finding something attractive, even uplifting in Zorya Triglav's message of "proving and joining the flow". The radicals of the Internal Triglavian Revolutionary Organization, also known as "Intriguerre", claim that the Triglavian invasion represents "a dynamic moment of challenge and opportunity for posthumanity". Intriguerre's propagandists have released a ship nanocoating displaying allegiance to the Collective under the name "Kybernaut Clade", in reference to the Triglavian term for capsuleers.

The Sisters of EVE's research and exploration efforts have garnered the organization a sinister reputation in the eyes of capsuleers, and conspiracy theorists, but its Food Relief charity arm has provided succor to billions across New Eden. Donations to Food Relief and other humanitarian projects are collected from all over the cluster and the annual "One Eden" fundraising drive is an important means of boosting the SOE's donation income. To many people in New Eden, the charitable works of the Sisters are their most notable.

The annual Yoiul Festival celebrates the closing of one year and the start of another in New Eden's universal calendar, as adopted by all the empires 121 years ago at the Yoiul Conference. CONCORD has long sponsored and celebrated the Yoiul Festival and over time it has been adopted and marked as a holiday across the four empires. It is particularly significant for those who make their living in space, whether aboard a spaceship or the many space installations of New Eden.

During the Yoiul Festival, many across New Eden celebrate the ending of one year and look forward to the new. The festival has become a major holiday in the interstellar community with space travellers and workers everywhere enjoying a celebration of peace and friendship across New Eden. Anticipation of the Yoiul Festival has become as enjoyable to some as the many days of festivities, and it has become popular to set up holo displays counting down the time to the height of the celebrations. During the end of year week itself, these shine a beacon representing the star around which the Yoiul Conference took place.

From a strong field, replete with many veteran players, the Mind Clash 101st Worlds Championships was won by Roj "Copper Lightning" Tarnagan in October YC123. The Gallente Prime Champion and multiple winner of the Federation Cup triumphed over the 99th Worlds Champion, Nadia "Silver Bear" Tanaka, in a final that was closely followed by audiences across New Eden, though especially keenly in the Federation and State. A nanocoating marking the victory of Roj Tarnagan was swiftly commissioned for sale to an eager market of Mind Clash fans, as has become common practice in recent years. With capsuleers a significant demographic among the most dedicated Mind Clash followers, the Copper Lightning nanocoating is expected to be popular among fans of this complex, mentally-demanding neuro-holographic sport.

Achur spiritualism takes many forms, and influences many aspects of their culture, but aside from the monastic orders of Achura (Saisio III), it rarely approaches the level of organized religion. The Stargazers are an example of a particular form of popular Achur spiritualism that eschews supernatural revelation in favor of a philosophy that aims to understand the world through observation and contemplation of the stars. Using visionary interpretations based on a kind of "as above, so below" thinking, the Stargazers emphasize awareness of the surrounding universe and understanding of the living world beyond the self. Some seasons are traditionally considered more propitious than others for viewing certain types of stars. The season that falls early in the YC year, which can shift around relative to the standard calendar, is called the "Season of Red Stargazing" and is considered the proper time for viewing red-colored stars. This season is also one of many festivals, although the Red Stargazing festival is particularly popular.

For too long have you been allowed to live in fear. For too long have you thought, "If the Nation comes, we will run, and we will hide, and we will be safe." Let it be known that there is no such thing as "safe." There is only deliverance, or annihilation. – recording recovered from station wreckage. Speaker identified as former True Citizen, Cornelius Sedek, now leader of the Vimoksha Chorus.

"There is no hunting like the hunting of pods, and those who have hunted pods long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter." – Ohminen Sin (disputed attribution) The Guristas pride themselves on maintaining the most skilled frigate pilots in any of the pirate organizations of New Eden and their most elite pilots are said to take particular pleasure in the art of catching fleeing capsules.

Rumors of pirate groups infiltrating Abyssal Deadspace have grown in volume since the way to those strange regions of space was opened to New Eden's pilots. One persistent tale has the Guristas pirates raiding down from New Eden to fight extensive battles against Triglavian fleets deep in the very heart of the abyss. Whether the tales of vast clashes in the dark depths of Abyssal Deadspace are true or impossible exaggerations of the kind often heard in the dives frequented by piratical scum remains to be seen.

In chaos, opportunity. In death, profit. Take what's yours, burn the rest. Capsuleer pirates are among the most feared predators of New Eden’s space lanes, posing a deadly threat to almost any non-capsuleer traffic and a serious problem for all but the most experienced loyalist and law-abiding capsuleers. Capsuleers, the so-called “Empyreans”, are considered a disruptive element by many but the outlaws among them can reach levels of notoriety that are usually the preserve of major corporation or alliance leaders.

The GalNet StreamCast Unit is a special program of the GalNet Association, the grouping of interstellar organizations, corporations and empire representatives that oversees the standards and protocols of the interstellar GalNet. GalNet StreamCast Unit operates ships or sponsors independent pilots to provide public access audio-visual and holographic data for use in GalNet programming. GalNet StreamCast Unit channels also host a variety of independent program-makers and work to give access and support to those citizens of New Eden wishing to broadcast using the streaming protocols of the interstellar GalNet.

One of the Guristas Pirates most notorious and brash combat pilots, Lucash Helmatt has carved out a spot for himself as a key leader of Guristas raids on the forces of law and order. Helmatt's personal wing of raiders, the Harriers, is feared far-and-wide across the systems bordering the Guristas territories in nullsec. In his typical style, Lucash had all Helmatt's Harriers ships painted in bright and disruptive yellow and black with an eye to intimidation and maintaining his personal notoriety. The Harriers are also notable for harboring a large number of combat pilots originating from other pirate and crime organizations across New Eden. Helmatt himself has a long and brutal career in the Angel Cartel before defecting to the Guristas, and he has built the Harriers out of a ragtag band of cut-throats and wolfs-heads no less ruthless, violent and rapacious.

Darouen Rileau is a fantastically rich Gallente mining magnate popularly known as 'Diamond King' for his well-known interests in precious stone mining – even though he made his trillions in the hyper-lucrative rare-earth extraction industry. Rileau's wealth and deep connections with the Gallente Federation's military-industrial complex allowed him to make his son Luecin's wish to become the Gallente ambassador to the Caldari State come true. Ambassador Luecin Rileau made for a surprisingly competent occupant of a notoriously tricky diplomatic billet but he had one vice above all others: gambling. Some even said that Luecin sought the posting to the State because of his taste for games of chance. Ambassador Rileau frequented the famous Grand Tiegjon Casino in Vellaine on a regular basis and developed a liking for Pettokori, a popular electro-board game. It was during a Pettorkori session that Guristas leaders Fatal and the Rabbit struck. Engineering a situation that allowed them to kidnap the hapless Luecin, the pirate lords spirited the Diamond King's son away and put him up for a ransom in diamonds truly worthy of a king. Darouen Rileau was no doubt vexed by his son's foolishness but the ransom was paid in the end and the notoriety and fame of the Guristas leaders increased to legendary heights.

Luecin Rileau was the Gallente Federation's ambassador to the Caldari State and a surprisingly competent occupant of a notoriously tricky diplomatic billet for a playboy son of a trillionaire mining magnate. Luecin's father, Darouen Rileau, has long been known as 'Diamond King' for his interests in precious stone mining – even though Rileau made most of his fortune in the hyper-lucrative rare-earth extraction industry.

Polar lights are a common sight on many planets across New Eden, varying according to atmospheric conditions, planetary magnetic fields, and the stellar wind of the local star. Many cultures consider these dramatic displays in the skies of their planets to be awe-inspiring and dramatic, and they are the source of much myth and art. In some cases, extreme aurora activity can be a portent of impending disaster, and increased or even extreme stellar activity can indeed wreak havoc on inhabited planets. Even so, the Luminae Polaris nanocoating celebrates the more attractive and inspiring side of these dramatic phenomena.

Mind Clash fans across New Eden were stunned by the upset victory of Kiyria "Redclaw Sable" Okaada at the 100th Worlds Championships in October YC122. Held under heavy security, the event at the Grand Teigjon Resort & Casino in Vellaine saw many of the "Greats" of the Mind Clash world compete. Even so, relative newcomer Okaada saw off the powerful field, capping her first time win of the Caldari State Championships with the Worlds crown. To celebrate the meteoric rise of the new phenomenon, Kiyria Okaada's management commissioned a commemorative nanocoating aimed at the capsuleer market. With capsuleers a significant demographic among the most dedicated Mind Clash fans, the Redclaw Sable nanocoating is expected to be popular with aficionados of the complex, mentally-demanding neuro-holographic sport.

The Vampire's Hex pattern of nanocoating originated as a livery for the Vampire 6900 range of militarized personal atmospheric flyers made by the Hex Aerodynamix corporation, a subsidiary of the Roden Shipyards industrial conglomerate. Following the success of the company's Angel's Hex promotional campaign, the Vampire's Hex nanocoating was also made available in a spaceship format for certain popular capsuleer vessels.

CONCORD Biosecurity Responders are available to be dispatched on emergency call to any space stations, orbital infrastructure or other space-industrial locations in response to disease and pathogen outbreaks of all kinds. The challenges of maintaining biosecurity against infectious pathogens and other disease vectors in space-based infrastructure are multiplied by the cosmopolition and highly-interconnected nature of New Eden's space industry and trade networks. This long-recognised problem was for many decades dealt with by the empires, nations and corporations of New Eden in a rather piecemeal fashion, with disputes over jurisdiction and differing standards commonly arising. Following the Kyonoke Crisis of YC119, and the passage of the interstellar "Hope for All Act", CONCORD established Biosecurity Response Teams, and began to build up its capacity and expertise in the fields of epidemiology and disease management. To that end, CONCORD reached out to partners such as the University of Caille's Department of Epidemiology, Hedion University's School of Medicine, the Sisters of EVE, and the Society of Conscious Thought. Biosecurity Responders are a vital link in any effort to isolate and analyze infectious pathogens spreading through New Eden's space infrastructure, and crucially to prevent spread to planetary populations. Research to develop effective biosecurity methods, treatments and pathogen controls rely on the field research and data provided by the Biosecurity Reponse Teams.

Military experts have studied rogue drones extensively in an effort to learn useful techniques from these inscrutable, collective intelligences. Many observer units have attempted close-range study using a combination nanocoating and holoprojection method of imitating rogue drones, so as to achieve a kind of camouflage effect. The success rate of such attempts has not been released publicly but is thought to somewhat low. Oddly enough, the rather unusual look that can be achieved using the attempted camouflage method has caught the eye of some spaceship captains. The nanocoating and holography patterns may have limited utility as practical camouflage but its aesthetic properties has a certain appeal and can be seen being flaunted by some pilots plying the spacelanes of New Eden.

PKN Interstellar's public relations team have included entries into the popular ship nanocoating market in their range of celebratory offerings to mark the Jita 4-4 expansion project. The "Forward 4-4" nanocoating is designed to highlight the vital place of Jita 4-4 at the center of New Eden markets, and its important role in driving forward space industry, trade and capsuleer endeavors of all kinds.

In Caldari animistic mythology, the Ghostbirds are heralds of war sweeping down from the mountains on wings of snow flecked with the blood of those who will fall in battle. The imagery of the Ghostbird is very popular among the Caldari military and has become a special totem for pilots of all kinds of warships.

The Caldari Navy's 37th (Octopus) Squadron has a long and storied history stretching back to the Caldari-Gallente War that led to independence for the Caldari State. Originally a frigate squadron established during the war, the 37th is notable as a capsuleer unit within the Caldari Navy. Octopus Squadron's "Orange Flight" is an outgrowth of the older "Red Flight" after reorganization of this elite capsuleer squadron. The Orange Flight operates advanced missile cruisers in the heavy assault role, providing devastating and flexible long-range firepower to the 37th.

Now owned by the Sukuuvestaa megacorp, the Zento Isideko Combine represents the final fate of an old industrial concern from the early corporate era of Caldari society. Founded in the wave of corporate developments and consolidations of earlier business forms in the decades that followed first contact with the Gallente, Zento Isideko Combine was typical in its aspiration to become an interplanetary conglomerate in an era of enormous cultural and technological upheaval for the Caldari people. Led by their visionary founder Foss Kriistavaa, the Zento Isideko Combine rapidly became a leader in the construction of advanced transportation links across Caldari Prime and eventually realized the founding ambition of becoming an space-industrial powerhouse. Zento Isideko maintained its place in the upper tier of Caldari corporations for nearly 200 years, until the Third Sontogi Oskkaltiovone* of 22714 AD brought it within the sphere of a corporate grouping that would eventually become the Sukuuvestaa Corporation. After various corporate permutations over the centuries, the business is generally known as SuVee ZenIko on the stock markets. Even so, the old Zento Isideko Combine brand and livery is still used to distinguish the support fleets of the transportation construction, maintenance and security operations that the division carries out across the extensive holdings of Sukuuvestaa.

The Capsuleers are considered an elite group across New Eden and this vibrant nanocoating marks that status on Capsuleer Day XX. The YC125 celebrations are the 20th anniversary of the dawn of the Capsuleer Age and the opening up of New Eden's frontiers by immortal clone space pilots. Capsuleer Day XX is a moment for celebration of "The Elite" across New Eden.

The Caldari State Workers Union is the single official workers organization that operates on a pan-state basis and is affiliated to by the workers organizations of all of the "Big 8" megacorps of the Caldari State. The State Workers Union concerns itself primarily with promoting good inter-megacorp relations between workers below the executive level throughout the Caldari State. A major portion of its work involves running vacation trips for working families that wish to experience the variety of Caldari society as expressed in different megacorporations. The highlight of the calendar for many Caldari workers is the Caldari Executive Panel mandated State Workers Union Day, one of the few universally observed public holidays in the State. Promotion of the virtues of honestly earned leisure time is exemplified in a special nanocoating that celebrates Union Day, with the proceeds going to the State Workers Union Orphans Apprenticeship Fund.

The Bloody Hands of Matar is a Minmatar terrorist organization responsible for numerous attacks in both the Republic and the Amarr Empire. The group was founded in early YC109, during a period of protest and rioting at the killing of Defiants leader Karishal Muritor by Republic forces acting under the orders of Karin Midular's government. It is believed that the 'Bloody Hands' symbolism was inspired by the use of a bloody fist logo by the Ushra'Khan alliance of capsuleer freedom fighters. The Bloody Hands of Matar turned from protest to terrorism with a campaign of firebombing Amarr and Ammatar interests on Minmatar worlds. The group's violence escalated with a bomb attack on the Egbonbet Republic Parliament station that succeeded in assassinating a visiting Ammatar Mandate ambassador in mid YC109. The terror group pulled off their greatest coup in March YC112, killing thousands in the massive bombing of an Amarr Ministry of War station in Pashanai system. Although hunted by both Republic Security Services and the Amarr Ministry of Internal Order, the Bloody Hands have evaded elimination and officially remain an active threat.

An instrument of liberation, most strikingly known as a weapon to crush the heads of slavers and a tool to break the chains of slaves, the Khumaak is celebrated as the symbol of the Great Rebellion and Minmatar freedom from Amarr domination. The Khumaak (literally "Hand of Maak") is a replica of an ancient Amarrian relic used over 400 years ago by the Minmatar slave Drupar Maak to kill his master, Arkon Ardishapur, on Arzad II. The legend says that Maak was inspired in his struggle for freedom by a vision of Holder Arzad, an Amarr noble who had treated his Starkmanir subjects with dignity. Arzad is said to have told Maak: "The fire in our hearts burns for salvation, redemption, and grace. May the Word of God grant you the courage to save yourself and your people." Maak's killing of the Ardishapur heir sparked a revolt on Arzad II, also known as Starkman Prime. The slaying of Arkon Ardishapur was met with the brutal crushing of the revolt and almost total annihilation of the Starkmanir Tribe by orbital bombardment. The Starkmanir Rebellion preceded the Great Rebellion by over 250 years but its impact is held by historians to have been a major factor in the development of the underground slave movements that would ultimately fight for their freedom in 20 BYC (AD 23216).

The Great Rebellion was the dawn of liberation for the Minmatar tribes that once lived almost entirely under the dominion of the Amarr. When the slave revolt broke out in 20 BYC (AD 23216), it stunned an Amarr Empire already reeling from the shock of their defeat by the Jovian fleet at the Battle of Vak'Atioth. The Minmatar that rose up were quickly able to cut a swathe through the territories surrounding the Matari home worlds, aided by groups of free Minmatar who had long operated as guerilla fighters both planet-side and in space. The Minmatar Republic was founded by four of the great tribes and was invited to join in the foundation of CONCORD in 3 BYC. By the end of YC 111, the Nefantar, Starkmanir and Thukker Tribes had rejoined their Brutor, Krusual, Sebiestor and Vherokior brothers and sisters in the Minmatar's Tribal Republic.

This SKIN will be applied directly to your character's SKIN collection when redeemed, instead of being placed in your inventory. This nanocoating celebrates the Minmatar Liberation Games, with a pattern suggesting the arc of Pator's sunlight over the blue seas of the planet Matar. The symbolism evokes the unity of the tribes as one people born under the sun of Pator on life-giving Matar. The Liberation Games are a celebration of Minmatar freedom, memorial of the past, and reminder that defense of the Seven Tribes is the duty of all.

In the icy climes of the Northern Mikramurka on Matar there are many traditional forms of transport that take advantage of the snow and ice fields to be found there. One of the most celebrated is still found as a traditional sport around the seismically active western interior of that region. The "bladeracer" sled competitions are usually held on the relatively gentle slopes of the dormant shield volcanoes typically found in the area. The climate means that the upper reaches of the volcanoes are covered in snow and ice all year round but the lower areas remain rather fertile and are warmed by vents. The consequent profusion of heathers and mosses give the hills and slopes their characteristic purple coloration during the "warm" season.

Zydrine Burn is a potent liquor that is loosely related to the more refined Zydrine Wine, both of these green-hued drinks being produced using rice leaves, a certain portion of the grains, and whatever additives are appropriate to the style of drink. While Zydrine Wine can be an extraordinarily delicate and subtle drink, with the finest generally held to be brewed from the rice plants of Intaki Prime, its more powerful cousin is a somewhat pungent and vividly green brew. Rumors suggest that some versions of Zydrine Burn use as ingredients effluent from Quafe production, liquefied fedo scent glands, or even the notorious protein delicacies in powdered form. Whatever the case, a market for this harshly memorable liquor has sprung up among space workers of all kinds, and few space station bars lack a bottle or two of the stuff. Among planetary populations the brew has a more notorious reputation, popularly considered the tipple of underclasses, criminals, and ruthless capsuleer pirates.

Intended for use in combat against the Triglavian invaders, EDENCOM's new line of ships was commissioned from the Upwell Consortium to take advantage of Arcing Vorton Projector weapons technology. As the Triglavian Collective is known to be focusing considerable effort on capturing systems with a blue primary star, there has been a concern to reassure the inhabitants of such systems that EDENCOM will defend them. The "Bluestar Defenders" are a unit of ships including Thunderchild, Stormbringer, and Skybreaker vessels with a livery that reflects their special role. EDENCOM's Office of Propaganda has made the unit's colors available as a promotional nanocoating to support the campaign to defend blue star systems from Triglavian invasion.

This nanocoating was designed to serve as a suitable reward for those pilots displaying skill in open tournaments sponsored by the EDENCOM defensive alliance. The design was approved by Provost Marshal Kasiha Valkanir herself and is intended to "celebrate the noble sacrifices made by the defenders of New Eden." EDENCOM's public communications and propaganda department planned a number of programs to bolster recruitment in the event the Triglavian Invasion campaigns continued for many years. In the event, the success of EDENCOM saved nearly 150 systems from Triglavian attacks, fortifying over 50 in the face of sustained invasion efforts. The formation of Pochven effectively ended the invasion war but EDENCOM found itself facing continued raiding by Triglavian forces. EDENCOM forces also continued efforts to bolster resistance movements within Pochven, supporting a case for continued propaganda and communication efforts.

For the Minmatar people the Great Rebellion was the founding revolutionary event that set them on the path to freedom in their Tribal Republic. The Freedom's Revolution nanocoating celebrates that struggle for freedom, the lives lost and the great gains made by the Minmatar. While Liberation Day is a grand celebration of the day freedom was achieved for billions of Minmatar, it is also a day of remembrance of those Matari who still languish as slaves in the Amarr Empire, Khanid Kingdom, and the lawless reaches of New Eden.

This nanocoating is a prestige livery designed for the elite attendees of the Guardian's Gala and is a companion piece to the 'Amaranthine Divide' facial augmentation. A mantle of amaranthine desire adorns the flanks of any ship using this romantically charged nanocoating from the Guardian Angels.

The Angel's Hex pattern of nanocoating originated as a livery for the Angel 4700 range of luxury personal atmospheric flyers made by the Hex Aerodynamix corporation, a subsidiary of the Roden Shipyards industrial conglomerate. In a promotional campaign, relying on the large followings of capsuleers among baseliner populations, the nanocoating was made available in a spaceship format for certain popular capsuleer vessels.

Eager to support and promote the efforts of capsuleers hunting Triglavian structures and vessels, EDENCOM commissioned the design of a unique nanocoating for use on ships piloted by capsuleers aggressively taking the fight to the enemy. The "Eden's Hunters" nanocoating displays clearly the allegiance of capsuleer seek, destroy and salvage teams to the cause of the New Eden Common Defense Initiative. Funds from the sale of this nanocoating will go directly to the New Eden Defense Fund, aiding the struggle against the invaders.

Noting the success of holoreels starring actors using Impetus's Glamourex neural booster, the Nugoeihuvi Corporation sought to develop a similar product, albeit one placing greater emphasis on boosting base sex appeal rather than a more subtle charismatic charm. The Heartsurge project was farmed out to one of the giant NOH megacorp's many subsidiaries, Bakkomolu Productions, which in turn contracted with a neurotweaker lab based in the Mivora constellation, on the edges of the Forge region. Progress on the development of Heartsurge was so promising that Bakkomolu commissioned the nanodesigner Jovaa Seriazic to produce a series of promotional ship nanocoatings. When Bakkomolu Productions was dissolved following a legal dispute with NOH's corporate rival Wiyrkomi, Nugoeihuvi may have hoped to generate a return from the new Heartsurge booster. Unfortunately, the neurotweaker lab had disappeared leaving behind only a scattering of circumstantial evidence that it was an Angel Cartel front all along. This theory was later confirmed when Heartsurge began to be used by producers of black market holoreel titles linked to the infamous Cartel. For his part, with Bakkomolu's dissolution creating a breach of contract, Jovaa Seriazic made some profit on his nanodesign work by selling the license for the nanocoatings to the Serpentis Corporation.

The Triglavian Collective has not been universally opposed by all in New Eden, with subversive elements across New Eden finding something attractive, even uplifting in Zorya Triglav's message of "proving and joining the flow". The radicals of the Internal Triglavian Revolutionary Organization, also known as "Intriguerre", claim that the Triglavian invasion represents "a dynamic moment of challenge and opportunity for posthumanity". Intriguerre's propagandists have released a ship nanocoating displaying allegiance to the Collective under the name "Kybernaut Clade", in reference to the Triglavian term for capsuleers.

Achur spiritualism takes many forms, and influences many aspects of their culture, but aside from the monastic orders of Achura (Saisio III), it rarely approaches the level of organized religion. The Stargazers are an example of a particular form of popular Achur spiritualism that eschews supernatural revelation in favor of a philosophy that aims to understand the world through observation and contemplation of the stars. Using visionary interpretations based on a kind of "as above, so below" thinking, the Stargazers emphasize awareness of the surrounding universe and understanding of the living world beyond the self. Some seasons are traditionally considered more propitious than others for viewing certain types of stars. The season that falls early in the YC year, which can shift around relative to the standard calendar, is called the "Season of Red Stargazing" and is considered the proper time for viewing red-colored stars. This season is also one of many festivals, although the Red Stargazing festival is particularly popular.

V. Salvador Sarpati sees the Gallente Federation as responsible for the destruction of his father Igil's career and life, and never loses an opportunity to carry out acts of vengeance against the federal authorities. Sarpati's greatest, longest and most well-known campaign of revenge is his flooding of Gallente society with illegal drugs, boosters, and increasingly, black market implants. Sarpati views his trade in illegal drugs and implants as akin to the coils of a snake slowly crushing the Gallente Federation. Others see it more simply as poison from V. Salvador 'The Snake' Sarpati coursing through the veins of a society that struggles to balance freedom with the dangers of cutting-edge, mind-altering technology. The silver of this imprint of the Sarpati's Revenge nanocoating recalls Igil Sarpati in the prime of his life and career, just before he was cut down, as his son Virge believes, by the Gallente Federation.
