'''Division 6''' was a special program within [[Eve University]] to explore and reside in [[Wormholes|wormhole]] space. The program was set up prior to the release of the ~~Aprocrypha~~ expansion in March 2009 by [[user: Wolf VanBerg|Wolf VanBerg]]. Pilots of Division 6 lived in wormhole space and ~~are rarely found in normal space. During times of war all D6~~ pilots ~~operate under the direct command of Fleet Admiral [[user:Silentbrick|Silentbrick]] like the rest of the uni with people dispatched to k-space to help in the war effort if or when needed~~.

'''Division 6''' was a special program within [[Eve University]] to explore and reside in [[Wormholes|wormhole]] space. The program was set up prior to the release of the Apocrypha expansion in March 2009 by [[user: Wolf VanBerg|Wolf VanBerg]]. Pilots of Division 6 lived in wormhole space more-or-less continuously. At its height, the group included between 40 and 50 pilots.

~~Due~~ to the ~~operating policies~~ and ~~rules of engagement of~~ the ~~University~~, the program disbanded in February 2010 to form the corporation Everset Dropbears, ~~specializing in wormholes~~.

During times of war all D6 pilots operated under the direct command of Fleet Admiral [[user:Silentbrick|Silentbrick]] like the rest of the uni, with people and ships dispatched to k-space to help in the war effort as needed.

The group also spearheaded, scouted, and in part managed the [[History_of_the_University#The_Dynaverse_Wormhole_POS_Siege | Dynaverse wormhole POS Siege]]. We learned a lot during that operation -- ask us if you're interested, or look it up on the forums.

The program disbanded in February 2010, with many members moving on to form the corporation [[History_of_the_University#.28Incomplete.29_List_of_former-Unista_Corps| Everset Dropbears]] [EDROP]. They do not currently specialize in wormhole activity, but any former D6'er will talk your ear off about it if you ask.

The minimal skills list for D6 entry changed frequently and was an evergreen subject of debate within the group. In the last days of the effort, required skills included:

~~'''The minimal skills required for Division 6 were:'''~~

* Astrometric Rangefinding III

* Astrometrics III

Line 18:

Line 23:

* Salvaging IV

* Science II

And ~~you must have~~ the skills to properly fit and fly ~~the battlecruiser and/~~or ~~higher of your race~~. ~~(fittings include and are not limited~~ to ~~gunnery, missiles)~~

And the skills required to properly fit and fly one race's battlecruisers or battleships.

This list reflects the PvE techniques D6 tended to use for Sleeper combat -- remote-repair armor battleship gangs with battlecruisers for point defense.
