The Shipcaster Shadow War is the current Factional Campaign for EVE Factional Warfare. It began on March 14, 2023.
Campaign Overview
The four great empires of New Eden are racing to develop and construct the first Interstellar Shipcasters: massive structures capable of launching allied pilots across space to give them a decisive edge in the conflict over lowsec warzones.
Building and operating these Shipcasters will require mastery of two new Triglavian-derived technologies: novel Transport Relay technology discovered in Triglavian facilities on the storm planet Athounon V, and advanced Stellar Transmuter technology that was reverse-engineered from Triglavian Dazh Porevitium Transmuters and recently tested in Vard, Egmar, and Turnur, with devastating consequences in the latter case.
Each empire has requested capsuleer support to obtain the research data required to complete their understanding of both technologies and then to assemble Shipcaster structures powered by nearby Stellar Transmuters within their territory so that they can use them to provide their militas with a significant mobility advantage in factional warfare.
(From: The Agency, Shipcaster Shadow War Overview)
Additional Information
In order to construct an operational Interstellar Shipcaster, each empire must first gain mastery of both technologies and then they can begin constructing the Stellar Transmuter and Shipcaster facilities themselves.
Each empire is calling on loyal capsuleers to steal and reconstruct classified datacores taken from facilities belonging to the empires that currently possess the technologies that they require.
For example: if your chosen empire currently possesses the Transport Relay technology but does not yet possess the Stellar Transmuter technology, you can assist them by attacking the empire(s) that do have the Stellar Transmuter technology and collecting the datacore components from that empire's facilities.
(From: The Agency, Shipcaster Shadow War Overview)
Joining the Campaign
Pledging support to one of the four Empires, is accomplished through The Agency utility in NEOCOM (Home > Encounters > Factional Campaigns > Shipcaster Shadow War).
It is important to note that supporting one of the Empires, neither enlists you in Faction Warfare, nor prevents supporting other empires in future campaigns. However, you cannot change your selection once you confirm your choice.
When first opening the campaign window in The Agency, a pilot will be presented with an overview of the campaign, and a graphic button that leads to the ability to select an Empire to support for the duration of the campaign. Clicking on an Empire in this second screen will allow a pilot to review the objectives and rewards for that Empire, before confirming their selection.
Once a pilot confirms their Empire selection, the Factional Campaign window will instead display a list of objectives and rewards - and the progress of the Empire and Pilot for these categories.
