First Signs of Campaign Progress Appear in New Eden

State Corridor Construction Site in T-LIWS

The first signs of Military Campaign progress have begun to appear in Caldari and Gallente space. The Caldari have begun construction on their “State Corridor”, while the Federation’s “Operation Rogue Edge” has begun to bear fruit.

The Caldari State continues to outperform the other major factions with 12 campaign objectives completed so far. Two new sites have sprung up in Ienakkamon and another in T-LIWS as construction commences on their State Corridor Stargate.

The State Corridor Initiative is a bold stargate construction project, but its completion is reliant on the Caldari’s ability to expunge the Intaki Syndicate’s influence over the Syndicate region. Executive General Heika Torigo has been leading their efforts to root out the Syndicate, the State having declared the organization a criminal entity when its occupation of the region began.

The Intaki Assembly on Intaki Prime has raised concerns over the Caldari Navy’s policing of the region. As Syndicate is a null-security region outside the reach of CONCORD’s DED, there has been little oversight of the State's actions. Torigo has been quick to assure the public that the State is “acting with honor and respect in this endeavor,” adding that “the Intaki are being manipulated; these concerns are Federation propaganda masked as humanitarianism.”

The Federation Navy’s primary concern has been its own campaign. Vice Admiral Foriana Revelli has praised capsuleers for the Federation’s progress on Operation Rogue Edge, telling members of the press that “our citizens are what make us the greatest democracy the cluster has ever seen. Despite the hordes of Sansha authoritarianism that slowed our early progress, we are now hot on the State’s tail, all thanks to the people of this Federation.”

The Federation is following close behind the State with 10 objectives completed in their grand research project, Rogue Edge. Using Rogue Drone innovations to supercharge their industrial infrastructure has allowed the Gallente to begin work on a new stargate construction site in Renyn. Potential endpoints are being surveyed, and should the operation be successful, the Federation will have the industrial power they need to complete the longer route to Jufvitte. If not, a site in Ellmay has been selected as a backup.

The Minmatar Republic is not far behind the Federation, with 8 of its own objectives completed, its plan to reclaim the planet currently known as Arzad II for the Starkmanir seems to be on course. The Amarr Empire, however, is languishing in fourth place with only 5 objectives completed so far. There are concerns that the Empress' plan for economic reforms has failed to gain sufficient support from the capsuleers of New Eden. If she cannot inspire greater support, then the project could become a cluster-wide embarrassment.
