Voices have been sounding from all over, trying to guess the outcome of the event, and some teams have been revealed as definite favorites by the public.

Pilots and corporations based in the Rens, Oursulaert and Jita systems are encouraged to relocate their b...

Yulai, once a vibrant trade hub, now slowly decaying.
