Description
Mind Clash is a very popular sport throughout known space. It is as enthusiastically played in the royal court on Amarr Prime as in the gambling halls of the Caldari. The Clash Masters ? the best players from around the worlds ? are superstars, awed and adored equally among monied Gallente elites and Minmatar street punks.
Competitors use neural implants to control digital characters that are projected as holograms in the form of fantastical creatures, monsters, and other phenomena and fight with opposing characters controlled by another puppet-master. Due to the strength of the connection between the mind and the machine, the potential psycho-trauma caused by the constant barrage on the brain can reduce a stout man to a whimpering wreck in mere moments.
All the stars of the game have their own exclusive repertoire of personally trademarked illusions. This, coupled with flashy outfits and catchy nicknames, makes each of the major stars easily distinguishable to the fans. In addition to the illusions huge screens dot the arenas where duels are held, broadcasting images and information to the masses ogling the match.
The Grand Tiegjon Resort & Casino at Echelon Entertainment's Vellaine V - Moon 4 station is a magnet for Mind Clash fans and competitors due to its role as the prime venue for the Interstellar Mind Clash Championships. 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.
This dedicated training facility provides state-of-the-art equipment for the cluster's most elite Mind Clash champions.
