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.

"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.

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.

This nanocoating is designed to evoke the strangeness and wonder of the paradoxical spacetime environments, and the effects within them, discovered in early YC124. This version of the nanocoating has been augmented with symbolism derived from certain data and artefacts acquired in the paradoxical space. What these symbols may mean remains an outstanding conundrum. The nanocoating is an example of one created by a specialist expert system oriented towards creative work. Recent data from the peculiar warp paradoxes located in New Eden was used by the expert system to create this design. It is rumored that the expert system has subsequently had to be forcibly terminated and destroyed by order of CONCORD.

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.

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

This nanocoating was designed by Isidor en Murat – the enfant terrible of the Gallente assemblage movement known as the "Constructional Neoplanists" – and has been stated by him to be a "meditation on the ultraviolence inherent in the vortex of conflict created by the elevation of human actors to superhuman levels of agency approaching the will of solipsistic deities." The critics respond: "Profound truth resonating forth like ripples in a reflecting pool." – Templeton Kurillion, Caille Modern Art Review "Competent in execution, childish in its philosophy." – Shira de la Porix, Mies Arts & Literature Supplement "Unutterably bad." – Gorsin Ollivar, Intaki Star Press "Garbage." – Senator Wilton Thrumbarl, Senate Subcommittee on Public Arts "Cool supercap SKIN." – Kris Forsalyn, Space Mercs & Pilots Gazette

The Capsuleers are considered an elite group across New Eden and this gilded nanocoating marks that status on Capsuleer Day XV. The YC120 celebrations are the 15th anniversary of the dawn of the Capsuleer Age and the opening up of New Eden's frontiers by immortal clone space pilots. Capsuleer Day XV is a moment for celebration of "The Elite" across New Eden.

The DED's Reserve Frontier Safeguard service, commonly known as the RFS or "Safeguarders", has its origins in a lowsec/nullsec frontier patrol operated using reservists from the member states of CONCORD. The RFS originally provided a security patrol presence in lowsec systems with planetary colonies and other orbital settlements. Since the expansion of CONCORD's mandate and permanent DED fleet capacity in YC105, the RFS has evolved into an organization focused on providing disaster relief to colonies across lowsec space. The ships of the Frontier Safeguard carry specialized personnel and equipment prepared to deal with all manner of environmental hazards. The RFS will respond to emergencies involving such challenges as super cyclones, tsunamis, continental wildfires, global duststorms, and seismic and volcanic events. Their specialized shuttles and dropsuited Safeguarders will unhesitatingly deploy from orbit into some of the most dangerous and remote environmental disaster zones in New Eden. Still funded by the CONCORD Assembly and staffed by reservists from the member empires, the Safeguarders are a welcome sight for any remote settlement desperately in need of their aid.

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.

Auroras, or polar lights, are a universal concept and shared experience among the peoples of New Eden. The heavily-populated terrestrial home planets are particularly noted for stories and myths involving these striking, dancing lights in the sky. To the Amarr, the aurora are linked to ancient religious stories and are sometimes known as "Sefrim Banners", alluding to the angelic figures considered messengers from God. A tradition of the appearance of these lights heralding divine approval for the armies of Amarr during the Reclaiming of Athra is well attested. For the Caldari, the polar lights are the enigmatic "Flame Wind", a mysterious force in the animistic mythology of Caldari Prime's pre-industrial era. On the cold Caldari home world, the appearance of the aurora was associated with unusual weather and sudden migrations of animals. The various nations of Gallente Prime had their ancient legends about polar lights but knew the aurora to be an interaction of atmosphere, magnetic fields and stellar winds from the time of the "Airship Wars". Viewing aurora on airship trips to the polar regions of Gallente Prime is a popular tourist activity on the planet. The Minmatar have a somewhat mixed viewpoint on aurora with some believing that such lights were seen during the storms that wracked Matar during the "Day of Darkness" that heralded the Amarr invasion. Most think this notion mixes up the fragmentary tales of what happened in those times and the traditional view of the polar lights, at least for tribes such as the Brutor and Sebiestor, is that they represent a "standing place gathering" or moot of tribal spirits. At the time of the Yoiul Festival, the aurora lights of the worlds of New Eden are one reminder of the shared history of the people of the cluster and have becomes a symbol to some of their universal connections with one another.

Hunters using arrows to catch their prey is a common enough theme in the history and legends of New Eden. A quiver of arrows ready for use is echoed in the stylized patterning of this nanocoating. The hunt for prey no longer involves arrows but the thrill of the chase remains as primal an emotion as it was for the hunters of ancient tales.

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.

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.

In YC105, they awoke again and for the first time. They fought to make their mark amongst the stars, and not even death could keep them from their destiny. Capsuleers of New Eden, come together and honor their legacy, their legend. Join us in lighting up the skies for twenty years of awakenings, and all the awakenings still to come. - Anonymous Announcement of Capsuleer Awakening YC125

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.

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.

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.

Extraction and processing of radioactive materials for use in industry can be difficult and hazardous work at best, with many standard mining techniques often treating such materials as waste byproducts that are better disposed of in space. Always on the look out for ways to increase the profitability of their mining and materials harvesting operations, ORE has established a specialist Radioactives Reclamation unit, equipped with dedicated harvesting and transport ships, to exploit dangerous and difficult to work radioactive materials. The heavy-industrial ships and transport vessels of ORE's Radioactives Reclamation unit are recognisable for their holographic warning markings and vivid "radioactive green" highlights on a more standard blue and grey livery.

Outer Ring Excavations is not afraid to explore hostile territory in search of valuable asteroids and other harvestable resource fields. In order to break through to potential resources in dangerous systems, ORE will send specialist pioneer fleets that are unusually heavily-armed and supported by combat vessels. One of the most effective such groups in ORE's organization is Pioneer Group 4C-B7X VIII Alpha, famous throughout ORE as the original "Rockbreaker Pioneers".

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

State Military Stockpile resource harvesting operations are considered a high priority and often commanded by a Captain of Engineers. The State Military Stockpile was created by order of the Caldari State's Chief Executive Panel to seek out and develop militarily important resources within Caldari space. The Caldari Navy and the security forces of the "Big Eight" megacorporations are all able to draw from the deep reserves that are being built up by State Military Stockpile mining operations.

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. (Sontogi Oskkaltiovone – loosely translated: rules-based corporate war of takeovers)

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.

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.

Hunters using arrows to catch their prey is a common enough theme in the history and legends of New Eden. A quiver of arrows ready for use is echoed in the stylized patterning of this nanocoating. The hunt for prey no longer involves arrows but the thrill of the chase remains as primal an emotion as it was for the hunters of ancient tales.

State "eba ketsi" banners and a unique honor pattern mark the heroic sacrifice of the Kairiola. Every Caldari child learns the story of Admiral Yakiya Tovil-Toba and the Kairiola, the fighter carrier he commanded during the First Caldari-Gallente War. Viewed as a war of independence by the Caldari, the war established the Caldari State as a power in its own right but was long, bloody, and noted for many sacrifices and heroic acts by Caldari patriots. At the climax of the first stage of the war, as the Caldari people attempted to breakout of the siege of Caldari Prime, Admiral Tovil-Toba mounted a campaign of misdirection and distraction with a rag-tag fleet led by the Kairiola. When the heavily damaged carrier was the only remaining ship, Tovil-Toba ordered it into a death dive towards the Gallente homeworld. This act resulted in massive damage and sowed confusion among Gallente forces allowing millions of Caldari to escape. To this day, Admiral Yakiya Tovil-Toba is considered the paramount national hero of the Caldari State, and he and the crew of the Kairiola are revered for their sacrifice.

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.

The permanently crowded streets of Caille are lit by uncounted kilometers of neon lighting by night. Indeed, some sections of the cultural capital of the Gallente Federation are so deep within the canyon-like avenues of the Caille megalopolis that they are streaked through with neon colours at every hour of the day. This pattern is seen in many Gallente cities but Caille remains the most astonishing example in the Federation. The Caille Neon nanocoating echoes and celebrates the glowing vibrancy of Federation streetlife, providing a striking livery option for pilots of Gallente ships.

The Capsuleers are considered an elite group across New Eden and this gilded nanocoating marks that status on Capsuleer Day XV. The YC120 celebrations are the 15th anniversary of the dawn of the Capsuleer Age and the opening up of New Eden's frontiers by immortal clone space pilots. Capsuleer Day XV is a moment for celebration of "The Elite" across New Eden.

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.

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 designed to evoke the strangeness and wonder of the paradoxical spacetime environments, and the effects within them, discovered in early YC124. This version of the nanocoating has been augmented with symbolism derived from certain data and artefacts acquired in the paradoxical space. What these symbols may mean remains an outstanding conundrum. The nanocoating is an example of one created by a specialist expert system oriented towards creative work. Recent data from the peculiar warp paradoxes located in New Eden was used by the expert system to create this design. It is rumored that the expert system has subsequently had to be forcibly terminated and destroyed by order of CONCORD.

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.

Republic Fleet Ordnance mining and shipping operations are overseen by a technical specialist officer, usually of Spike Lieutenant rank. Republic Fleet Ordnance is responsible for the acquisition of materials crucial to the construction and maintenance of all kinds of equipment used by the fighting forces of the Minmatar Republic. The resource scouts of Republic Fleet Ordnance scour Minmatar space for pockets of useful asteroids and can call upon mining operations to extract any valuable materials they discover.

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.

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.

The Capsuleers are considered an elite group across New Eden and this unique nanocoating marks that status on Capsuleer Day XIX. The YC124 celebrations of Capsuleer Day mark the 19th anniversary of the start of the Capsuleer Age, when cloned capsule-using spaceship pilots were given independent licenses in YC105. Capsuleer Day XIX is a time of celebration for "The Elite" among spaceship pilots, when New Eden looks back on the achievements of capsuleers and wonders what challenges, risks and opportunities the future may hold.

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).

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 special nanocoating mimics a layer of oxidation products on the surface of the ship it is applied to for decorative effect. The allusion to used and repurposed ships from the early days of rebellion and subsequently the Republic's fleets celebrates the early days of Minmatar spaceship design and the considerable combat effectiveness of such craft. For many years past, Minmatar spaceship technology has developed to a high level with modern and powerful ships supplanting older designs, which themselves have been upgraded and improved many times over. Even so, the old slogan "In Rust We Trust" has the power to evoke pride and memories of the glory days of Minmatar guerilla warfare and liberation.

This nanocoating was designed by Isidor en Murat – the enfant terrible of the Gallente assemblage movement known as the "Constructional Neoplanists" – and has been stated by him to be a "meditation on the ultraviolence inherent in the vortex of conflict created by the elevation of human actors to superhuman levels of agency approaching the will of solipsistic deities." The critics respond: "Profound truth resonating forth like ripples in a reflecting pool." – Templeton Kurillion, Caille Modern Art Review "Competent in execution, childish in its philosophy." – Shira de la Porix, Mies Arts & Literature Supplement "Unutterably bad." – Gorsin Ollivar, Intaki Star Press "Garbage." – Senator Wilton Thrumbarl, Senate Subcommittee on Public Arts "Cool supercap SKIN." – Kris Forsalyn, Space Mercs & Pilots Gazette

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.

Formally called the "Kimotoro Tivaktikun Sejikiineten Eskeitan", or Kimotoro Defense Zone Executive Guard, most Caldari know the defense force of the home constellation of the State simply as the Kimotoro Eskeitan. A Caldari Navy unit that answers directly to the Chief Executive Panel, the Kimotoro Eskeitan are often seen performing ceremonial duties in their splendidly caparisoned combat vessels, such as on occasions like the Caldari State Workers Union Day. For all the decoration and pomp of their most visible appearances, the Kimotoro Eskeitan are one of the most elite forces in the Caldari State's military and form an essential component of the defensive arrangements of the Caldari home systems.

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 interstellar shipping company Starline Majestic is known for reliable transport of cargo and comfortable berths for passengers. The company also has a fondness for eyecatching branding. This is reflected in the striking spaceship livery it uses, a design based on its trademark star and lines logo.

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.

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.

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. (Sontogi Oskkaltiovone – loosely translated: rules-based corporate war of takeovers)

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 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.

The Capsuleers are considered an elite group across New Eden and this gilded nanocoating marks that status on Capsuleer Day XV. The YC120 celebrations are the 15th anniversary of the dawn of the Capsuleer Age and the opening up of New Eden's frontiers by immortal clone space pilots. Capsuleer Day XV is a moment for celebration of "The Elite" across New Eden.

The DED's Reserve Frontier Safeguard service, commonly known as the RFS or "Safeguarders", has its origins in a lowsec/nullsec frontier patrol operated using reservists from the member states of CONCORD. The RFS originally provided a security patrol presence in lowsec systems with planetary colonies and other orbital settlements. Since the expansion of CONCORD's mandate and permanent DED fleet capacity in YC105, the RFS has evolved into an organization focused on providing disaster relief to colonies across lowsec space. The ships of the Frontier Safeguard carry specialized personnel and equipment prepared to deal with all manner of environmental hazards. The RFS will respond to emergencies involving such challenges as super cyclones, tsunamis, continental wildfires, global duststorms, and seismic and volcanic events. Their specialized shuttles and dropsuited Safeguarders will unhesitatingly deploy from orbit into some of the most dangerous and remote environmental disaster zones in New Eden. Still funded by the CONCORD Assembly and staffed by reservists from the member empires, the Safeguarders are a welcome sight for any remote settlement desperately in need of their aid.

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.

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.

Formally called the "Kimotoro Tivaktikun Sejikiineten Eskeitan", or Kimotoro Defense Zone Executive Guard, most Caldari know the defense force of the home constellation of the State simply as the Kimotoro Eskeitan. A Caldari Navy unit that answers directly to the Chief Executive Panel, the Kimotoro Eskeitan are often seen performing ceremonial duties in their splendidly caparisoned combat vessels, such as on occasions like the Caldari State Workers Union Day. For all the decoration and pomp of their most visible appearances, the Kimotoro Eskeitan are one of the most elite forces in the Caldari State's military and form an essential component of the defensive arrangements of the Caldari home systems.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In YC105, they awoke again and for the first time. They fought to make their mark amongst the stars, and not even death could keep them from their destiny. Capsuleers of New Eden, come together and honor their legacy, their legend. Join us in lighting up the skies for twenty years of awakenings, and all the awakenings still to come. - Anonymous Announcement of Capsuleer Awakening YC125

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).

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 special nanocoating mimics a layer of oxidation products on the surface of the ship it is applied to for decorative effect. The allusion to used and repurposed ships from the early days of rebellion and subsequently the Republic's fleets celebrates the early days of Minmatar spaceship design and the considerable combat effectiveness of such craft. For many years past, Minmatar spaceship technology has developed to a high level with modern and powerful ships supplanting older designs, which themselves have been upgraded and improved many times over. Even so, the old slogan "In Rust We Trust" has the power to evoke pride and memories of the glory days of Minmatar guerilla warfare and liberation.

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.

The YC120 celebrations are the 15th anniversary of the dawn of the Capsuleer Age and the opening up of New Eden's frontiers by immortal clone space pilots. Capsuleer Day XV is a moment for celebration of "The Elite" across 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 DED's Reserve Frontier Safeguard service, commonly known as the RFS or "Safeguarders", has its origins in a lowsec/nullsec frontier patrol operated using reservists from the member states of CONCORD. The RFS originally provided a security patrol presence in lowsec systems with planetary colonies and other orbital settlements. Since the expansion of CONCORD's mandate and permanent DED fleet capacity in YC105, the RFS has evolved into an organization focused on providing disaster relief to colonies across lowsec space. The ships of the Frontier Safeguard carry specialized personnel and equipment prepared to deal with all manner of environmental hazards. The RFS will respond to emergencies involving such challenges as super cyclones, tsunamis, continental wildfires, global duststorms, and seismic and volcanic events. Their specialized shuttles and dropsuited Safeguarders will unhesitatingly deploy from orbit into some of the most dangerous and remote environmental disaster zones in New Eden. Still funded by the CONCORD Assembly and staffed by reservists from the member empires, the Safeguarders are a welcome sight for any remote settlement desperately in need of their aid.

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.

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.

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.

The permanently crowded streets of Caille are lit by uncounted kilometers of neon lighting by night. Indeed, some sections of the cultural capital of the Gallente Federation are so deep within the canyon-like avenues of the Caille megalopolis that they are streaked through with neon colours at every hour of the day. This pattern is seen in many Gallente cities but Caille remains the most astonishing example in the Federation. The Caille Neon nanocoating echoes and celebrates the glowing vibrancy of Federation streetlife, providing a striking livery option for pilots of Gallente ships.

The Capsuleers are considered an elite group across New Eden and this unique nanocoating marks that status on Capsuleer Day XIX. The YC124 celebrations of Capsuleer Day mark the 19th anniversary of the start of the Capsuleer Age, when cloned capsule-using spaceship pilots were given independent licenses in YC105. Capsuleer Day XIX is a time of celebration for "The Elite" among spaceship pilots, when New Eden looks back on the achievements of capsuleers and wonders what challenges, risks and opportunities the future may hold.

King Doule dos Rouvenor III of the Garoun Empire is considered by many Gallente to be one of the essential figures in the historical developments that led to the eventual emergence of a democratic world state on Gallente Prime. The ideals of the individualistic philosophy that Doule dos Rouvenor III championed during his 36-year rule of the Garoun Empire survived that nation's collapse over a century after his death. Those early notions of personal and political freedom flowed out of the Age of Rouvenor and informed the development of a democratic federal union on Gallente Prime that was to become an interstellar empire in the shape of the Gallente Federation. Doule dos Rouvenor III's bequest of an individualistic philosophy emphasizing personal freedom is celebrated by a unique nanocoating that recalls the ancient heraldic colors of the House of dos Rouvenor. King Doule dos Rouvenor, Third of His Name, is specially marked on this nanocoating with the bold regnal number 'III', while banners bearing the emblem of the Gallente Federation complete this epic celebration of a Gallente hero.

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.

CreoDron's "Green Demons" Drone Display Team are famous across the Gallente Federation for their displays of ship-and-drone formation flying, drone combat in mock battles, and their legendary CreoDron customized and automated fighter wing spectaculars. With its members drawn from the CreoDron R&D division's top test pilots, the specialized skills and advanced technology available to this elite display team are beyond anything available to even veteran capsuleers. Even so, those pilots wishing to emulate the Green Demons can attempt do so while displaying the team's famous colors by applying this nanocoating to a drone-capable ship.

This nanocoating is designed to evoke the strangeness and wonder of the paradoxical spacetime environments, and the effects within them, discovered in early YC124. This version of the nanocoating has been augmented with symbolism derived from certain data and artefacts acquired in the paradoxical space. What these symbols may mean remains an outstanding conundrum. The nanocoating is an example of one created by a specialist expert system oriented towards creative work. Recent data from the peculiar warp paradoxes located in New Eden was used by the expert system to create this design. It is rumored that the expert system has subsequently had to be forcibly terminated and destroyed by order of CONCORD.

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 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.

This nanocoating was designed by Isidor en Murat – the enfant terrible of the Gallente assemblage movement known as the "Constructional Neoplanists" – and has been stated by him to be a "meditation on the ultraviolence inherent in the vortex of conflict created by the elevation of human actors to superhuman levels of agency approaching the will of solipsistic deities." The critics respond: "Profound truth resonating forth like ripples in a reflecting pool." – Templeton Kurillion, Caille Modern Art Review "Competent in execution, childish in its philosophy." – Shira de la Porix, Mies Arts & Literature Supplement "Unutterably bad." – Gorsin Ollivar, Intaki Star Press "Garbage." – Senator Wilton Thrumbarl, Senate Subcommittee on Public Arts "Cool supercap SKIN." – Kris Forsalyn, Space Mercs & Pilots Gazette

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.

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 vast reach of the Scope Network's news channels and holonet programs is supported by a large news-gathering operation that supplements its staff reporters with an extensive array of freelance correspondents and partnered news organizations. In a convenient arrangement, the Scope operates a news syndication service that allows its partners' news services to benefit from the huge resources of the Scope and its many correspondents.

Federal Strategic Materiel exploration and mining operations are usually commanded by a Defender Lieutenant specializing in engineering or logistics. The Federal Strategic Materiel corporation was founded by executive order of President Jacus Roden and is tasked with finding and extracting resources vital to the Federal armed forces throughout Gallente space. The mining operations sent out to harvest resources from sites discovered by the Federal Strategic Materiel corporation have become a common sight in the Federation.

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.

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 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.

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 interstellar shipping company Starline Majestic is known for reliable transport of cargo and comfortable berths for passengers. The company also has a fondness for eyecatching branding. This is reflected in the striking spaceship livery it uses, a design based on its trademark star and lines logo.

The Caldari State Police is one of the few law enforcement organizations that conducts operations across Caldari territory, working alongside Caldari Customs and the Business Tribunal Audit & Investigation Branch, known as the "Audit Tribunes". Originating as the planetary police force of Caldari Prime, during the period of Caldari membership of the Federation, the Caldari Police Guards played a key role in evacuating millions during the Caldari-Gallente War. This guaranteed the continued existence of the agency as the Caldari State Police, even in the new Caldari order of a fully corporate state.

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. (Sontogi Oskkaltiovone – loosely translated: rules-based corporate war of takeovers)

"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.

"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

Imperial War Reserves mining operations are usually organized around combined naval and logistical units typically commanded by a Cardinal Lieutenant. The Imperial War Reserves were established as a joint effort to build up and maintain a vast reserve of strategically vital materials by the Amarr Ministry of Assessment and the Ministry of War. The corporation is charged with surveying the Amarr Empire for resources and organizing their exploitation by mining operations.

The Capsuleers are considered an elite group across New Eden and this gilded nanocoating marks that status on Capsuleer Day XV. The YC120 celebrations are the 15th anniversary of the dawn of the Capsuleer Age and the opening up of New Eden's frontiers by immortal clone space pilots. Capsuleer Day XV is a moment for celebration of "The Elite" across New Eden.

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).

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.

This nanocoating is designed to evoke the strangeness and wonder of the paradoxical spacetime environments, and the effects within them, discovered in early YC124. This version of the nanocoating has been augmented with symbolism derived from certain data and artefacts acquired in the paradoxical space. What these symbols may mean remains an outstanding conundrum. The nanocoating is an example of one created by a specialist expert system oriented towards creative work. Recent data from the peculiar warp paradoxes located in New Eden was used by the expert system to create this design. It is rumored that the expert system has subsequently had to be forcibly terminated and destroyed by order of CONCORD.

The clans of the Krusual Tribe, such as the martial Shakim Clan, have a proud history of defiance and maintaining their traditions in the face of the Amarr Empire's invasion of the Minmatar homeworld. From their mountain strongholds the Krusual were the one tribe that successfully resisted the worst of the occupation's ravages. The Shakim Warlords, in particular, were not only fierce defenders of their mountainous domains but also feared among Amarr occupation troops as merciless leaders of raids against the invaders.

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.

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 unique nanocoating marks that status on Capsuleer Day XIX. The YC124 celebrations of Capsuleer Day mark the 19th anniversary of the start of the Capsuleer Age, when cloned capsule-using spaceship pilots were given independent licenses in YC105. Capsuleer Day XIX is a time of celebration for "The Elite" among spaceship pilots, when New Eden looks back on the achievements of capsuleers and wonders what challenges, risks and opportunities the future may hold.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

"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

The interstellar shipping company Starline Majestic is known for reliable transport of cargo and comfortable berths for passengers. The company also has a fondness for eyecatching branding. This is reflected in the striking spaceship livery it uses, a design based on its trademark star and lines logo.

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.

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.

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.

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. (Sontogi Oskkaltiovone – loosely translated: rules-based corporate war of takeovers)

The YC123 celebrations of Capsuleer Day mark the 18th anniversary of the start of the Capsuleer Age, when cloned capsule-using spaceship pilots were given independent licenses in YC105. Capsuleer Day XVIII is a time of celebration for "The Elite" among spaceship pilots, when New Eden looks back on the achievements of capsuleers and wonders what challenges, risks and opportunities the future may hold.

The Capsuleers are considered an elite group across New Eden and this unique nanocoating marks that status on Capsuleer Day XIX. The YC124 celebrations of Capsuleer Day mark the 19th anniversary of the start of the Capsuleer Age, when cloned capsule-using spaceship pilots were given independent licenses in YC105. Capsuleer Day XIX is a time of celebration for "The Elite" among spaceship pilots, when New Eden looks back on the achievements of capsuleers and wonders what challenges, risks and opportunities the future may hold.

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.

To mark the successful development, construction and firing of the Upwell Consortium's new moon drilling technology, ORE fleets dedicated to mining asteroids produced by blasting moon chunks apart adopted a special new livery. The striking design shows off the association of any ship bearing it with the awesome power of the moon drill beam and blast technology.

Extraction and processing of radioactive materials for use in industry can be difficult and hazardous work at best, with many standard mining techniques often treating such materials as waste byproducts that are better disposed of in space. Always on the look out for ways to increase the profitability of their mining and materials harvesting operations, ORE has established a specialist Radioactives Reclamation unit, equipped with dedicated harvesting and transport ships, to exploit dangerous and difficult to work radioactive materials. The heavy-industrial ships and transport vessels of ORE's Radioactives Reclamation unit are recognisable for their holographic warning markings and vivid "radioactive green" highlights on a more standard blue and grey livery.

Outer Ring Excavations is not afraid to explore hostile territory in search of valuable asteroids and other harvestable resource fields. In order to break through to potential resources in dangerous systems, ORE will send specialist pioneer fleets that are unusually heavily-armed and supported by combat vessels. One of the most effective such groups in ORE's organization is Pioneer Group 4C-B7X VIII Alpha, famous throughout ORE as the original "Rockbreaker Pioneers".

ORE's highly successful Rorqual mining operation support capital ship has played a significant role in the exploitation of mineral asteroids across New Eden for over a decade. The "Sovereign Claim" nanocoating is a suitably glittering celebration of this wealth-creating ship design in YC120, as the vessel continues its central role in ORE's lineup of mining operations vessels.

The permanently crowded streets of Caille are lit by uncounted kilometers of neon lighting by night. Indeed, some sections of the cultural capital of the Gallente Federation are so deep within the canyon-like avenues of the Caille megalopolis that they are streaked through with neon colours at every hour of the day. This pattern is seen in many Gallente cities but Caille remains the most astonishing example in the Federation. The Caille Neon nanocoating echoes and celebrates the glowing vibrancy of Federation streetlife, providing a striking livery option for pilots of Gallente ships.

King Doule dos Rouvenor III of the Garoun Empire is considered by many Gallente to be one of the essential figures in the historical developments that led to the eventual emergence of a democratic world state on Gallente Prime. The ideals of the individualistic philosophy that Doule dos Rouvenor III championed during his 36-year rule of the Garoun Empire survived that nation's collapse over a century after his death. Those early notions of personal and political freedom flowed out of the Age of Rouvenor and informed the development of a democratic federal union on Gallente Prime that was to become an interstellar empire in the shape of the Gallente Federation. Doule dos Rouvenor III's bequest of an individualistic philosophy emphasizing personal freedom is celebrated by a unique nanocoating that recalls the ancient heraldic colors of the House of dos Rouvenor. King Doule dos Rouvenor, Third of His Name, is specially marked on this nanocoating with the bold regnal number 'III', while banners bearing the emblem of the Gallente Federation complete this epic celebration of a Gallente hero.

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.

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.

CreoDron's "Green Demons" Drone Display Team are famous across the Gallente Federation for their displays of ship-and-drone formation flying, drone combat in mock battles, and their legendary CreoDron customized and automated fighter wing spectaculars. With its members drawn from the CreoDron R&D division's top test pilots, the specialized skills and advanced technology available to this elite display team are beyond anything available to even veteran capsuleers. Even so, those pilots wishing to emulate the Green Demons can attempt do so while displaying the team's famous colors by applying this nanocoating to a drone-capable ship.

Hunters using arrows to catch their prey is a common enough theme in the history and legends of New Eden. A quiver of arrows ready for use is echoed in the stylized patterning of this nanocoating. The hunt for prey no longer involves arrows but the thrill of the chase remains as primal an emotion as it was for the hunters of ancient tales.

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.

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 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.

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.

Mark the 15th anniversary of the dawn of the Capsuleer Age with the Capsuleer Day XV nanocoating. Since YC105, the world of New Eden has been transformed by the growth of the Capsuleer space pilot community. In YC120, the Capsuleers are at the forefront of space colonization and the exploration of new frontiers, making Capsuleer Day XV a moment for celebrations across New Eden.

Formally called the "Kimotoro Tivaktikun Sejikiineten Eskeitan", or Kimotoro Defense Zone Executive Guard, most Caldari know the defense force of the home constellation of the State simply as the Kimotoro Eskeitan. A Caldari Navy unit that answers directly to the Chief Executive Panel, the Kimotoro Eskeitan are often seen performing ceremonial duties in their splendidly caparisoned combat vessels, such as on occasions like the Caldari State Workers Union Day. For all the decoration and pomp of their most visible appearances, the Kimotoro Eskeitan are one of the most elite forces in the Caldari State's military and form an essential component of the defensive arrangements of the Caldari home systems.

This nanocoating was designed by Isidor en Murat – the enfant terrible of the Gallente assemblage movement known as the "Constructional Neoplanists" – and has been stated by him to be a "meditation on the ultraviolence inherent in the vortex of conflict created by the elevation of human actors to superhuman levels of agency approaching the will of solipsistic deities." The critics respond: "Profound truth resonating forth like ripples in a reflecting pool." – Templeton Kurillion, Caille Modern Art Review "Competent in execution, childish in its philosophy." – Shira de la Porix, Mies Arts & Literature Supplement "Unutterably bad." – Gorsin Ollivar, Intaki Star Press "Garbage." – Senator Wilton Thrumbarl, Senate Subcommittee on Public Arts "Cool supercap SKIN." – Kris Forsalyn, Space Mercs & Pilots Gazette

The strangely fiery black heart of the Triglavian Collective's ships is echoed in the dark steel hull and red highlights of this nanocoating for the ship designs of the Abyssal civilization.

Experiments with Triglavian ship technology have included focus on the various metamaterials used in their construction. Taking advantage of the similarity of Triglavian hull coatings to the nanocoatings used with New Eden ship technology, a number of tests have been carried out aimed at achieving stealth effects in Abyssal Deadspace environments. One attempt at achieving a disruptive, stealth camouflage effect involved using exotic metamaterials to achieve a similarity to the exotic particle fields that can be found in certain abyssal environments. While the resultant nanocoating pattern is very striking, it is of very limited use as camouflage, with detection systems being quite capable of picking out ships using it even against the background of heavy exotic particle storms.
