=War History=
 
The reputation of Eve University primarily derived from its participation in wars as they have often been the defining moments for the University.
 
 
 
===The First War===
 
Approximately a year after its' establishment, Eve University fought its first war with the Serial Warfare corporation, made of six veteran PvP pilots. These pilots camped Eve University headquarters, killing pilots that undock. The EVE community backed Eve University in its defeat of Serial Warfare through intelligence data, advice, and joint operations.
 
 
 
===Huff Technologies===
 
The war with Huff Technologies, a corporation of approximately 50 members, caught many University pilots off guard, and pilots quickly docked into stations. The EVE community once again supported the University and flamed Huff Technologies, putting an immense amount of pressure on Huff Technologies to the point that withdrawing from the war would become a huge embarrassment. The best fleet commanders in EVE joined Eve University to help defeat Huff's pilots, growing the University's reputation. After two months of war, EVE university prevailed by letting Huff retreat and save face.
 
 
 
===The Big Blue Chapter===
 
The Big Blue Alliance was started by the N.A.G.A. Corporation, one of the biggest Tech II industrialists at the time. Eve University is a founding member of the alliance, providing manpower to N.A.G.A. in which they lacked. The Four Horseman corporation joined with the alliance, becoming the main PvP force. N.A.G.A. attempted to create a safe-zone 0.0 space, with The Four Horseman and Eve University policing the area. At this time, the alliance held the policy of "Not Red, Dont Shoot", similar to the one held by the Ivy League Alliance today.
 
 
 
N.A.G.A. Corporation secretively established one of EVE's first capital shipyards, sparking the interest of Band of Brothers. The Mercenary Coalition were hired by Band of Brothers to attack Big Blue, triggering a large, exhausting war. MC was successful in destroying the shipyard, and also reduced the structure of Big Blue into pieces. During the war, Eve University's newer players struggled to adapt to PvP, with instructors focused on defending the remnants of Germinate space. The University eventually withdrew into empire space to rebuild.
 
 
 
Being one of the main police and PvP force of the alliance, many of the kills are recorded on the [http://blue.griefwatch.net/ Big Blue alliance killboard]. A depiction of the Big Blue alliance can also be seen [http://thekiller8.deviantart.com/art/Eve-Online-RMR-42347848 here].
