EVE Online's record-setting war ends with a whimper

war of unprecedented magnitude in EVE Online is coming to an unexpected and anti-climactic end. For over a year, some of EVE Online's biggest player-run factions, including TEST Alliance, Pandemic Horde, Fraternity, and Brave Collective—a super-coalition named PAPI—have laid siege to the villainous Imperium with the sole intent of wiping them from the game entirely. The war has been brewing ever since another historic conflict from 2016 called World War Bee, and in the last year has resulted in some of the biggest fights in EVE Online's history. But after 13 long months of war, the PAPI coalition has all but dissolved right on the Imperium's front door...

Eve Online's World War Bee II is ending after more than a year

It seems that the war that has raged across Eve Online for the past year is coming to a close. On Tuesday, the PAPI Coalition signaled to its thousands of members that it was pulling back from Delve - the last redoubt of the Imperium, better known within the space game as the Goonswarm.

The Goonswarm had spent the past 13 months under siege from the combined forces of the Pandemic Horde, Fraternity, Test Alliance Please Ignore, the Brave Collective, and a host of other smaller player-controlled factions within Eve's complex and fractious community. United under the banner of 'PAPI' (a confusing portmanteau cobbled together from the 'P' in Pandemic and Test Alliance's acronym, TAPI), these groups had sought to capture as many Imperium systems as possible and eventually topple the Goons' base of operations in Delve.

Over the course of a year, the combined PAPI forces gradually fought the Imperium into a smaller and smaller area of New Eden, eventually cornering them in a tiny cluster of just seven solar systems. But Eve Online community developer Peter Farrell tells us the Goonswarm managed to prevail - in part by keeping its recruitment numbers up, and in part by leveraging its institutional expertise in narrative creation.

Foundation Day Propaganda Contest

Faithful capsuleers,

With Gallente and Minmatar national days behind us, now the pious Amarr Empire celebrates their Foundation Day.

As with the other factions, the Empire seeks contributions of capsuleer propaganda that acknowledge the glory and majesty of Amarr! To be in the running to win some cool prizes, you must submit a piece of propaganda for review. Some of the topics it could address are:

celebrate the rich history of the Amarrian people
denigrate the the enemies of the Empire - i.e. the Minmatar, Gallente, Blood Raiders or Triglavians
highlight a famous location in the Empire
recognize a notable Amarr (or Ammatar?) citizen and their accomplishments (this includes both player and non-player characters)

Or something else not listed here - as long as it's putting the Amarr on the pedestal they deserve we want to see it! You can find some examples of the excellent work produced by capsuleers for the previous contests in these threads on the official forums.

Valid propaganda could take many different forms: memes, vintage propaganda posters, videos, songs, poetry, short stories - whatever you like as long as it bigs up the Amarr Empire.
