Wormholes are a very different kind of Cosmic Signature that you could scan down in any system. Such a wormhole might lead to anywhere else in the universe including High, Low, and Null Security space - you only need to jump through to find out where it goes. Some wormholes will even lead outside the known universe to wormhole space, a loose collection of hostile systems organized into six classes of increasing difficulty from Class 1 to Class 6 (C1-C6). These systems may be home to the extremely dangerous Sleepers, but they can be extremely lucrative for a Capsuleer willing to brave the darkness. - EVE Academy, Explorer

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.
