== What is the Wormhole Community? ==

WHC is a group-focused, PvP-first community. Every member is encouraged and given room to participate, and due to the ever-changing nature of wormhole space, WHC tends to fly as a single cohesive group in whatever is going on. Like the rest of EVE's wormhole players, PvP is central to life in J-space, and WHC prioritizes PvP fights while still encouraging and supporting all types of PvE activity.

== Joining WHC ==

=== Requirements ===

* You are able to use a [[Cloaking|covert ops cloaking device]]. Because of the lack of local chat, cloaking is a necessity in wormhole space. While WHC strives for inclusivity, it is ultimately not practical to achieve our teaching mission without this fundamental ability. Unfortunately, since cloaking is locked behind the Omega character state, Alpha characters are not able to obtain it and, as a result, cannot join WHC.

=== Applying to WHC ===

Once you've applied, a Community Coordinator will review the application and approve it, giving you access to our structures and our discord channels. This can take anywhere from hours to a couple of days depending on how swamped our staff is. If you've been waiting close to a week, feel free to reach out on discord to a WHC Community Coordinator.

=== Moving In ===

# Jump into a scanning ship with a Covert Ops cloak.

# Join our voice comms and the WHC standing fleet.

That's it. You're home!

The most common question new players ask when they join is "which ships should I bring?"

It can be hard for new players to know ahead of time what activities they're going to like and which ships they want to hold. We want new players to be able to experience a bit of wormhole life ''before'' having to make decisions about what to haul in.

=== Community Rules and Etiquette ===

=== Alt Characters ===

<!--

==== Combat Comms ====

Combat Comms is a special corporation that WHC maintains for alts. Any alt is welcome to join, even if the player has alts in other corporations. In addition to normal permissions listed above, alts in Combat Comms are given access to Pathfinder (allowing them to be tracked automatically). This makes it an excellent quality of life option for scanning alts. For WHC members that don't need or don't wish to pay the alliance fee for their own alt corporation, Combat Comms is a slightly better alternative to the [[EVE University Hall of Residence]], but both are welcome at WHC.

Scanning is the lifeblood of any wormhole group. Without it, we have no content, our ships are at risk, and we're isolated from known space. Every WHC member scans. It's just part of wormhole life, and it's one of the most fundamental contributions a member makes to the community. Scanning in a group is also a bit different than solo exploration: it requires discipline and standard practices to avoid the complete chaos that would come with everyone using their own idiosyncratic approach.

While new members are not expected to know the intricacies of either, all members will inevitably learn them, as they are fundamental to the operation of the community.

=== PvP ===

Wormhole space can be lucrative. Combat sites, gas clouds, ore anomalies, and hacking sites are all some of the best in EVE. Consistent with EVE University's mission statement, WHC adopts an inclusive, group-focused approach to PvE. Members are encouraged (and in some cases, expected) to make an attempt to invite other members to participate. Luckily, due to the ability to roll new connections, there is literally never a lack of opportunity for new content.

WHC's C3 static is an efficient source of ISK. We use a fleet doctrine called [https://auth.eveuniversity.org/fittings/doctrine/6/ Harvester] to ensure new players and vets alike have access to the most common source of ISK-making in wormhole space.

[[Gas_cloud_harvesting#Fullerenes|Fullerene gas clouds]] found in J-space are not found anywhere else, and they are critical to Tech 3 and capital production. Likewise, ore anomalies contain fairly valuable products, rivaling anything short of capital-assisted R64 moon mining.

As any daytripper knows, [[relic and data sites]] can be a healthy income source with a very low barrier to entry. Like null-sec, low-class (C1-C3) wormhole systems contain pirate-named data and relic sites, which are among the most profitable. In addition, if you get lucky, wormhole-specific [[Ghost_Sites|superior ghost sites]] can occasionally drop items worth billions of ISK.

J105433 contains 10 planets and is capable of producing all T2 PI products, three P4 products, and fuel blocks from the planets available. PI is popular at WHC, and experienced members are usually happy to share tips specific to our home system.

WHC's industrial park is designed to support efficient end-to-end production of [[Tech 3 Production|T3 ships and subsystems]] as well as refining of common wormhole resources.

In addition to infrastructure, several members of the wormhole community are [[Perfect Refine List|Perfect Refiners]], which gives members access to refining efficiency better than or equal to anywhere else in the University.

Life in a wormhole comes with additional complexities. While the University provides a variety of services to its members, WHC also runs a number of its own programs that cater to the unique demands of J-space.
