All Destroyers

Noting the unusual effects that can be obtained when incorporating Triglavian subroutines and traces of Abyssal materials into nanocoatings, a commercial product that replicates the look of the plasma firestorms that rage in certain Abyssal Deadspace pockets was developed.

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.

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.

The rays of Luminaire's light shining varicolored through the ancient forests of Gallente Prime at the sun's zenith are evoked by this nanocoating symbolically celebrating the extent of the Gallente Federation's spread across the stars.

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.

Commissioned in YC121 by CONCORD's own Kjersidur Elladall of the Directive Enforcement Department, these commemorative SKINs serve as a reminder and a badge of honour for those daring Capsuleers who risked all to say "I was there" when the Triglavian Collective breached the boundaries of Abyssal Deadspace and invaded the systems of New Eden. In that year across the Empire-owned systems of the cluster, Conduits from Abyssal Deadspace appeared and carried the forces of the Collective into the comparatively rich and utopian star systems that CONCORD and the DED are sworn to protect. CONCORD will never forget - nor fail to honour - the brave pilots who dedicated their time, their resources and their clones in the fight against the Triglavian menace.

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.

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.

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

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

This nanocoating celebrates the Minmatar Liberation Games, with a pattern suggesting the arc of Pator's sunlight over the blue seas of the planet Matar. The symbolism evokes the unity of the tribes as one people born under the sun of Pator on life-giving Matar. The Liberation Games are a celebration of Minmatar freedom, memorial of the past, and reminder that defense of the Seven Tribes is the duty of all.

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

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

"After four years of harmonious and profitable business across the four empires of New Eden, the Upwell Consortium is pleased to announce the formation of a new capsule construction, pilot adaptation and advanced training operation. It is the hope of the Upwell Consortium that Harmonious Ascension Industries will become a leading force in the provision of support and services to capsuleers. To celebrate this event, the Upwell Consortium has authorized the issuing of a commemorative nanocoating for pilots in the first wave of new capsuleers outfitted by Harmonious Ascension." – Upwell Consortium Press Release, YC121.11.14

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".

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 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.

Used by elite corporate executives and celebrity brand ambassadors of Semiotique Superluminal, this exclusive nanocoating was designed to mark the launch of the Semiotique Sports brand by one of the biggest players in New Eden's communications and media landscape. Semiotique Superluminal is one of New Eden's largest FTL communications corporations, owned by the reclusive and eccentric trillionaire Lous Chavol, founder of the Scope and an immensely powerful figure in the Gallente Federation's corporate world. From its beginnings as one of the more successful FTL communications companies during the last expansion phase of the Gallente Federation, Semiotique has become a megacorporation that may even rival the titanic Quafe Company for its reach. In recent decades, Semiotique Superluminal has expanded its activities into all manner of technology, media, and entertainment interests. The holocasting and virtuality industries are a major growth area for the corporation, and under its Semiotique Sports brand it has ambitious plans to expand into popular high-tech sports such as Gravball, Mind Clash, spaceship racing, and even the controversial but incredibly lucrative combat sports field.

The concept of 'Zakura Shumyu' encapsulates an idealized existential humility of the citizenry of the Caldari State in the presence of something greater, symbolized by the wind passing through Zakura cherry blossoms. Zakura Hansei refers to the large family of ornamental cherry trees that feature heavily in Caldari State parks and executive aboriculture. The Zakura cherry trees and their blossoms have become a part of Caldari symbolism dating back to the formation of the first corporations on Caldari Prime. Cherry trees are found on the home worlds of the four major empires where growing conditions and land permits. Popular as an ornamental tree for the mass flowering of cherry blossoms that break out as warm seasons begin, there are many varieties found across New Eden. Cherry trees of the Zakura Hansei family became popular with the Caldari, particularly as the hardier varieties were able to fluorish in the more temperate regions of the notoriously cold Caldari Prime. In the Caldari State, the large and splendid Zakura Bazei variety is often a feature of corporate parks and executive class gardens. The Caldari gave the name 'Zakura' to these blossoming trees and these varieties are known by that name as far afield as the ornamental arboretums of the Amarr Empire. In a historical irony, this family of cherry trees is actually native to Gallente Prime, and the cherry was not known on Caldari Prime until it was introduced some time after first contact with the Gallente.

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 Imperial Inquisitorial Police (IIP) are one of the key law enforcement divisions of the Amarr Ministry of Internal Order, focused primarily on maintaining law and order in direct holdings of the Imperial Throne, and any territories not coming under the direct jurisdiction of the six Royal Houses and their own police guards. Inevitably, given the complex, endlessly-shifting politics and webs of relationships between the Throne, Royal Houses, and their various vassals, there are any number of situations where the Ministry of Internal Order has some valid interest or mandate to intervene. Outright situations of unrest or flagrant criminality are often dealt with by the Ministry's feared Order Paladins, a paramilitary force given to act first and ask questions later. When investigation or a somewhat lighter touch is required the Imperial Inquisitorial Police are usually sent in. Given the delicacy of many situations involving space stations and space industrial colonies, the IIP are the preferred option in such locations, with special investigation units travelling extensively throughout the Amarr Empire.

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

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.

"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.

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 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 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.

"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

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 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.

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.

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.

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 rays of Luminaire's light shining varicolored through the ancient forests of Gallente Prime at the sun's zenith are evoked by this nanocoating symbolically celebrating the extent of the Gallente Federation's spread across the stars.

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.

Used on corporate transports and service vessels of Semiotique Superluminal's fleet, this special nanocoating was designed to mark the launch of the Semiotique Sports brand by one of the biggest players in New Eden's communications and media landscape. Semiotique Superluminal is one of New Eden's largest FTL communications corporations, owned by the reclusive and eccentric trillionaire Lous Chavol, founder of the Scope and an immensely powerful figure in the Gallente Federation's corporate world. From its beginnings as one of the more successful FTL communications companies during the last expansion phase of the Gallente Federation, Semiotique has become a megacorporation that may even rival the titanic Quafe Company for its reach. In recent decades, Semiotique Superluminal has expanded its activities into all manner of technology, media, and entertainment interests. The holocasting and virtuality industries are a major growth area for the corporation, and under its Semiotique Sports brand it has ambitious plans to expand into popular high-tech sports such as Gravball, Mind Clash, spaceship racing, and even the controversial but incredibly lucrative combat sports field.

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)

Noting the unusual effects that can be obtained when incorporating Triglavian subroutines and traces of Abyssal materials into nanocoatings, a commercial product that replicates the look of the plasma firestorms that rage in certain Abyssal Deadspace pockets was developed.

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

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

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

"After four years of harmonious and profitable business across the four empires of New Eden, the Upwell Consortium is pleased to announce the formation of a new capsule construction, pilot adaptation and advanced training operation. It is the hope of the Upwell Consortium that Harmonious Ascension Industries will become a leading force in the provision of support and services to capsuleers. To celebrate this event, the Upwell Consortium has authorized the issuing of a commemorative nanocoating for pilots in the first wave of new capsuleers outfitted by Harmonious Ascension." – Upwell Consortium Press Release, YC121.11.14

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.

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 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. The Caldari State Police found its niche in the interstellar nature of the Caldari State and is often used by the many smaller corporations and multistellar businesses that require a law enforcement agency that can operate across megacorporate territorial lines. The bulk of the State Police's income is derived from such policing and security work, but it retains Chief Executive Panel funding and the "Big 8" oversight that comes with it. Occasionally, the megacorporations may call in the State Police to resolve some matter they wish to keep at arms length. Actual disputes between megacorps remain the almost exclusive preserve of the CBT and its Audit Tribunes.

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

Commissioned in YC121 by CONCORD's own Kjersidur Elladall of the Directive Enforcement Department, these commemorative SKINs serve as a reminder and a badge of honour for those daring Capsuleers who risked all to say "I was there" when the Triglavian Collective breached the boundaries of Abyssal Deadspace and invaded the systems of New Eden. In that year across the Empire-owned systems of the cluster, Conduits from Abyssal Deadspace appeared and carried the forces of the Collective into the comparatively rich and utopian star systems that CONCORD and the DED are sworn to protect. CONCORD will never forget - nor fail to honour - the brave pilots who dedicated their time, their resources and their clones in the fight against the Triglavian menace.

The concept of 'Zakura Shumyu' encapsulates an idealized existential humility of the citizenry of the Caldari State in the presence of something greater, symbolized by the wind passing through Zakura cherry blossoms. Zakura Hansei refers to the large family of ornamental cherry trees that feature heavily in Caldari State parks and executive aboriculture. The Zakura cherry trees and their blossoms have become a part of Caldari symbolism dating back to the formation of the first corporations on Caldari Prime. Cherry trees are found on the home worlds of the four major empires where growing conditions and land permits. Popular as an ornamental tree for the mass flowering of cherry blossoms that break out as warm seasons begin, there are many varieties found across New Eden. Cherry trees of the Zakura Hansei family became popular with the Caldari, particularly as the hardier varieties were able to fluorish in the more temperate regions of the notoriously cold Caldari Prime. In the Caldari State, the large and splendid Zakura Bazei variety is often a feature of corporate parks and executive class gardens. The Caldari gave the name 'Zakura' to these blossoming trees and these varieties are known by that name as far afield as the ornamental arboretums of the Amarr Empire. In a historical irony, this family of cherry trees is actually native to Gallente Prime, and the cherry was not known on Caldari Prime until it was introduced some time after first contact with the Gallente.

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

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.

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 Grand Tiegjon Resort & Casino in Vellaine has been the prime venue for Interstellar Mind Clash Championships for many years and will host the 99th Worlds Championships in October YC121. The event is being heavily promoted by the Grand Tiegjon as an "All-Stars Casino Clash" with the likes of Zirud "Black Dragon" Mikkela, Parvir "Flame Dancer" an-Zoar, Nadia "Silver Bear" Tanaka, and Joelyn "Blue Tiger" Donalokos vying for the coveted Worlds Champion title. The Echelon Entertainment Station in Vellaine has long been a magnet for Mind Clash fans due to the presence of the prestigious Grand Tiegjon Resort at the heart of the station's large leisure district. Even when major championships are not being hosted, there is an active Mind Clash circuit and numerous conventions and exhibition matches are often being held there. Capsuleers are a significant demographic among the most dedicated Mind Clash fans, finding the complex, mentally-demanding neuro-holographic game endlessly entertaining. Naturally, for Echelon Entertainment, the attendance of large numbers of capsuleers at the Worlds Championships is always welcome due to their huge spending power.

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.

New Eden is littered with ancient mysteries dating from an age long before the renaissance of space travel, industry and warfare that has brought into being the four empires of the core systems. Many believe the EVE Gate itself to be the ruined remains of an old, forgotten crossing point to a place where the human species originated. Others consider it a trapdoor to unimaginable dangers or, at the very least, a warning of the terrible risks of meddling with sleeping secrets and hidden horrors that lie beyond the thresholds of space and time. The Sleepers, Drifters, Triglavians, and even the departed, perhaps dead, Jove are testament to the dangers of delving into the mysteries of deep time. Even though the civilizations of New Eden commonly see crossroads as an ancient mythological symbol of opportunity twinned with danger, as befits a place between the worlds, the promise of vast rewards for taking a leap beyond the liminal crossings of New Eden are ever alluring to capsuleers.

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.

In certain very ancient Minmatar legends, mostly retained in fragmentary form by the Krusual, there appears a fearsome creature known as the "Gildclaw". This monster is always represented as highly intelligent, extremely avaricious and armed with huge black claws that are gilded with shining gold, even while they drip with the bright red blood of its victims. The beast is said to live in the deepest and blackest realms of Minmatar mythology, for which one name that has been passed down through the ages is "Niflhel". The Niflhel Gildclaw may in reality represent memories of an extinct creature resembling a large cave bear that once lived in the mineral rich mountains of the Tronhadar Valley region of Matar. Perhaps ancient Minmatar miners encountered and fought with such a beast while retrieving gold and other glittering prizes from the depths of the endless cave systems of those perilous mountains. Whatever the case, the Niflhel Gildclaw legend is an appropriate analogy with the denizens of Abyssal Deadspace who make it very dangerous indeed to seek riches in the depths of that strange and dark space.

Triglavian ships use a nanocoating technology on their external surfaces that is sufficiently similar to that used with the ships of other races to allow adaptation of commercial nanocoatings for use with them. Some configurations of the nanocoatings produce striking effects due to the interaction between the surface coating and the unusual design elements of Triglavian vessels. One of these configurations takes a small amount of the excess radiation from the singularity energy systems of Triglavian ships and produces an electrical discharge on the surface of the ship. While eye-catching and unusual, this effect has a negligible impact on the performance characteristics of the ship.

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. However, most think this notion misreads the fragmentary tales of what happened in those times. 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.

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.

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.

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 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 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)

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.

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

The 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

One of the original frigate squadrons established during the war, the 37th is notable as a capsuleer unit within the Caldari Navy. Octopus Squadron's "Red Flight" later became famous as a missile strike unit using Kestrel-class frigates. In recent years, the Octopus Red Flight has been upgraded to a flight of missile cruisers and, together with the rest of the 37th, is a frontline unit of the Caldari Navy.

The Caldari State was relatively late in developing the Jackdaw, its entry into the class of tactical multi-role destroyers based on Sleeper technology. Rumors have swirled for years that a secret project, allegedly called "The Kirjuufuishuan Experiment", attempted to marry quantum electrodynamic principles with the Sleeper-derived tech, only to end in disaster and the mysterious disappearance of a prototype Jackdaw with all hands. Whatever the truth of the matter, the "Quantum Potential" combination nanocoating and modification is the product of the more radical, underground scene in the Caldari subculture of customizing spaceships. The arcing electrical adaptation of the tactical nanolattice surfaces is sure to draw attention to the pilot of a Jackdaw furnished with this nanocoating.

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

The 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.

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 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.

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.

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

Entertainment corporations across New Eden have been quick to rush out new holoreel productions focusing on the Triglavians and Abyssal Deadspace. Be it Echelon Entertainment's patriotic "Abyssal Intruders", the Leisure Group's lurid "Triglavian Tryst", or the wildly popular "Hadean Horrors" from Impetus. Using the special effects from "Hadean Horrors" as a template, a nanocoating and holographic package for the capsuleer market was developed for those pilots who have adopted Triglavian ship designs. This monstrous design lends a somewhat alien menace to ships it is applied to, enhancing the intimidating and aggressive look of Triglavian vessels.

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

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.

Developed to celebrate the efforts of capsuleers striking into the depths of Abyssal Deadspace, when this high visibility nanocoating catches a stray beam of light it makes an impressive showing, even in the netherworld of the Triglavian Collective.

This special commemorative nanocoating celebrates the historic Siege of C-J6MT, a major battle from the early years of capsuleer empire-building and territorial warfare. In May YC108, the Siege of C-J6MT began as the beleaguered forces of Red Alliance formed to defend their last stronghold against their deadly foes in the "Coalition of the South". Although outnumbered, the Red Alliance pilots were determined to sell themselves dearly and based their tactics around their core defensive starbase and packs of hit-and-run Tempest-class battleships. When Coalition forces mounted their assault, the starbase and Tempest squadrons wreaked havoc on the attackers. So high was the butcher's bill racked up by the Red Alliance starbase it was given the nickname "The Meatgrinder" by the defenders. Ultimately, the Siege of C-J6MT was won by Red Alliance and proved a turning point in the conflict with the Coalition of the South.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

"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

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. However, most think this notion misreads the fragmentary tales of what happened in those times. 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.

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).

Released as a tribute to a renowned Imperial Armaments weapons designer who was lost in battle during live field testing in mid YC120, this nanocoating was produced in limited numbers for just eight hulls that have drawn influence (either directly or more controversially) from his highly successful design work over the years. The fade from deep black to vibrant yellow pays homage to the color produced by Standard frequency crystals, which are used in weapons testing to form a baseline damage profile for prototype energy turrets. The nanocoating is also adorned with a crest of crimson roses, the symbol of the Imperial house to which he belonged. Among the hulls that this nanocoating was commissioned for is the Punisher, the staple anti-frigate and fighter patrol platform of the Imperial Navy, which is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of a light turret-based weapons platform ever designed. “To serve your craft with such skill and tenacity is worthy of the deepest reverence. To pour your very heart and soul into your work is truly divine.” Kefsooda Arkih, - CEO, Imperial Armaments.

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

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.

Permaband's debut performance of "Warp to the Dance Floor" was at the YC118 gathering of capsuleers at the Grand Tiegjon Casino in Villaine. The number was a storming success and became a crowd-pleaser beyond capsuleer audience and in dance clubs across New Eden. Pioneers of the "Thukk Rokk" musical subculture, the members of Permaband have been touring far and wide across New Eden for decades. With its roots in the nomadic Thukker Tribe serving it well on tour, the band has become something of an institution on the capsuleer music scene, playing to the spaceship pilot elite at their exclusive gatherings around the world of New Eden.

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 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.

Command vessels of the Kimotoro Eskeitan carry Caldari State officers with broad authority to take command of any forces operating within the Kimotoro Defense Zone. This emergency authority has been delegated directly to Kimotoro Eskeitan commanders by the Chief Executive Panel, ensuring that all corporate security forces and militia units will obey the orders of the defense zone guards. 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.

Capsuleers were given independent licenses 16 years ago and the YC121 celebrations mark this latest anniversary of the dawn of the Capsuleer Age and the opening up of New Eden's frontiers by immortal space pilots. Capsuleer Day XVI is a moment of celebration for "The Elite" pilots who are all capsuleers across New Eden.

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.

Display your attendance at the SoCT's annual capsuleer gathering with this celebratory nanocoating. In the 15th anniversary year of the dawn of the Capsuleer Age, the SoCT chose to host the gathering at its new diplomatic facility, across the bay from Concord City, on the surface of Yulai III. The Society of Conscious Thought encourages graduates of its elite education programs to network with one another and has established many cohorts of former students throughout New Eden. As the SoCT takes a somewhat tutelary view of capsuleers as a class, the Society also encourages movers and shakers among the capsuleers to network with one another for the advancement of humanity in New Eden.

In the early era of spaceship combat, various forms of optical camouflage and confusion were experimented with in order to gain even the slightest tactical edge. It was rapidly concluded that such gambits made little to no difference, particularly with the sophistication and number of electromagnetic and gravimetric sensors involved. Despite the improbability of any significant effect, Genolution's capsuleer performance researchers are investigating the psychological factors that may come into play with the use of such a "dazzle" camouflage scheme. The patterns they are researching are supposedly even older than the early days of spaceships, with a lineage stretching back to ancient naval warship combat. It is not clear the scheme was particularly effective even in those days.

The Society of Conscious Thought was among several groups that took a keen interest in the discovery of trace amounts of chromodynamic tricarboxyls in ice and vapor clouds associated with the formation of the so-called "ice dwarf" planets in certain star systems. The SoCT's investigators were apparently keen to understand the processes by which the valuable material could be extracted and refined in useful quantities from the wisps of icy vapor cloaking the icy dwarf planets. As with much SoCT technology and associated equipment, the icecloud nanocoating was released into the hands of capsuleers, perhaps if only to see what they would do with it.

This special issue nanocoating commemorates a famed kitz of the Society of Conscious Thought known for producing daring explorers and formidable warriors. As is often the way of the SoCT kitzes, the ancient Tercio Rojo kitz evolved in directions away from warfare and exploration, eventually shifting to a new name along with its new focus on other areas of education and training. The traditions of the kitz live on in various splinter kitzes and those few older institutions that took in Tercio Rojo explorers and philosopher warriors wishing to continue along their chosen path.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Noting the unusual effects that can be obtained when incorporating Triglavian subroutines and traces of Abyssal materials into nanocoatings, a commercial product that replicates the look of the plasma firestorms that rage in certain Abyssal Deadspace pockets was developed.

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.

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.

This nanocoating celebrates the Minmatar Liberation Games, with a pattern suggesting the arc of Pator's sunlight over the blue seas of the planet Matar. The symbolism evokes the unity of the tribes as one people born under the sun of Pator on life-giving Matar. The Liberation Games are a celebration of Minmatar freedom, memorial of the past, and reminder that defense of the Seven Tribes is the duty of all.

Used on corporate transports and service vessels of Semiotique Superluminal's fleet, this special nanocoating was designed to mark the launch of the Semiotique Sports brand by one of the biggest players in New Eden's communications and media landscape. Semiotique Superluminal is one of New Eden's largest FTL communications corporations, owned by the reclusive and eccentric trillionaire Lous Chavol, founder of the Scope and an immensely powerful figure in the Gallente Federation's corporate world. From its beginnings as one of the more successful FTL communications companies during the last expansion phase of the Gallente Federation, Semiotique has become a megacorporation that may even rival the titanic Quafe Company for its reach. In recent decades, Semiotique Superluminal has expanded its activities into all manner of technology, media, and entertainment interests. The holocasting and virtuality industries are a major growth area for the corporation, and under its Semiotique Sports brand it has ambitious plans to expand into popular high-tech sports such as Gravball, Mind Clash, spaceship racing, and even the controversial but incredibly lucrative combat sports field.

Commissioned in YC121 by CONCORD's own Kjersidur Elladall of the Directive Enforcement Department, these commemorative SKINs serve as a reminder and a badge of honour for those daring Capsuleers who risked all to say "I was there" when the Triglavian Collective breached the boundaries of Abyssal Deadspace and invaded the systems of New Eden. In that year across the Empire-owned systems of the cluster, Conduits from Abyssal Deadspace appeared and carried the forces of the Collective into the comparatively rich and utopian star systems that CONCORD and the DED are sworn to protect. CONCORD will never forget - nor fail to honour - the brave pilots who dedicated their time, their resources and their clones in the fight against the Triglavian menace.

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

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. However, most think this notion misreads the fragmentary tales of what happened in those times. 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.

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 Republic Justice Police (RJP) are a uniformed branch of the Republic Justice Department, the law enforcement organization principally focused on fighting against crimes affecting the stability and security of the Republic and all the Tribes, such as terrorism, smuggling, and above all slavery. While other branches of the Republic Justice Department are active in more clandestine activities, such as counter-intelligence and supporting rebel groups in the Amarr Empire, the RJP tends to restrict its activities to internal crimes and co-operation with the various tribal and clan police forces in order to combat Republic-wide criminal networks. Given the complicated nature of jurisdiction and legality in the Tribal Republic of the Minmatar, the Republic Justice Police often encounter difficulties and outright disdain from many clans eager to maintain their rights and jealous of outside interference. Nevertheless, the RJP's units are often to be seen travelling across Republic space as the complexities and exceptions of space colonization and station life often mean that only the Republic's police forces can deal with the problems. Most colonies or stations prefer calling in the RJP rather than the paramilitaries of the Republic Security Services if a Republic presence is required.

"After four years of harmonious and profitable business across the four empires of New Eden, the Upwell Consortium is pleased to announce the formation of a new capsule construction, pilot adaptation and advanced training operation. It is the hope of the Upwell Consortium that Harmonious Ascension Industries will become a leading force in the provision of support and services to capsuleers. To celebrate this event, the Upwell Consortium has authorized the issuing of a commemorative nanocoating for pilots in the first wave of new capsuleers outfitted by Harmonious Ascension." – Upwell Consortium Press Release, YC121.11.14

The rays of Luminaire's light shining varicolored through the ancient forests of Gallente Prime at the sun's zenith are evoked by this nanocoating symbolically celebrating the extent of the Gallente Federation's spread across the stars.

The concept of 'Zakura Shumyu' encapsulates an idealized existential humility of the citizenry of the Caldari State in the presence of something greater, symbolized by the wind passing through Zakura cherry blossoms. Zakura Hansei refers to the large family of ornamental cherry trees that feature heavily in Caldari State parks and executive aboriculture. The Zakura cherry trees and their blossoms have become a part of Caldari symbolism dating back to the formation of the first corporations on Caldari Prime. Cherry trees are found on the home worlds of the four major empires where growing conditions and land permits. Popular as an ornamental tree for the mass flowering of cherry blossoms that break out as warm seasons begin, there are many varieties found across New Eden. Cherry trees of the Zakura Hansei family became popular with the Caldari, particularly as the hardier varieties were able to fluorish in the more temperate regions of the notoriously cold Caldari Prime. In the Caldari State, the large and splendid Zakura Bazei variety is often a feature of corporate parks and executive class gardens. The Caldari gave the name 'Zakura' to these blossoming trees and these varieties are known by that name as far afield as the ornamental arboretums of the Amarr Empire. In a historical irony, this family of cherry trees is actually native to Gallente Prime, and the cherry was not known on Caldari Prime until it was introduced some time after first contact with the Gallente.
