There are six major coalitions Clusterfuck Coalition is the largest at 36,432 members. Corporations form alliances, and alliances align in coalitions, which control most null-sec areas. No matter the path they follow, they can’t go it alone. There is no end goal to Eve-no way to "win"-and each of the game’s half-million or so players is left to choose their own objective.

The only way to survive is to band together in corporations-what most MMO players would recognize as a guild. Add in some 2,498 uncharted wormhole systems and there’s a lot of room for making trouble. Of New Eden's 5,431 known galaxies, 3,524 are null-sec zones. Blatant aggression, piracy, theft-you name it, and someone’s trying to get away with it. In the surrounding “low-sec” systems, hostile actions like an unprovoked attack carry some penalty, but you’re less likely to find yourself staring down a starship intent on making an example of you.Įverything else is "null-sec.” Anything goes. In core “high-sec” areas, unauthorized or unprovoked hostility brings swift retribution. The universe of New Eden is divided into three security classifications. Eve Online is notorious for its player-driven, laissez-faire approach to economics, politics, and warfare. They assess and respond to threats, plan and execute campaigns and generally kick ass. Murph and his colleagues-known in-game as Mister Vee and Vily-comprise the military command of Clusterfuck Coalition. He decides where they are deployed, what armaments they carry and which objectives they fulfill. Known within the game as Lazarus Telraven, he is among three fleet commanders for Clusterfuck Coalition, the largest organization in Eve.Ī fleet commander controls up to 255 ships-that is, players. Murph, a 24-year-old network engineer from Savannah, Georgia, has been playing Eve since 2006.
