This is one account of the eviction of Innuendo "Innu" (J211936 ), a vanilla C2 3/H wormhole system, the then-current home the [[Wormhole Community]]. The purpose of this is mainly educational and historical. It is not meant to be definitive nor entirely objective. That said, I will do my best to clearly state when I am speculating or offering an opinion that cannot be supported by the facts. | This is one account of the eviction of Innuendo "Innu" (J211936 ), a vanilla C2 3/H wormhole system, the then-current home the [[Wormhole Community]]. The purpose of this is mainly educational and historical. It is not meant to be definitive nor entirely objective. That said, I will do my best to clearly state when I am speculating or offering an opinion that cannot be supported by the facts. The reason for writing this now is simple: the EVE University forums were obliterated and with it a lot of Uni's history from this time period. | ||

Before I can continue with the rest of the story, I need to talk a bit about the opfor. Opfor was not one corp or alliance, but rather a loosely affiliated group of pilots who do evictions for fun and profit. One notable alt corp was [https://evewho.com/corporation/98646435 Corporation 98646435] which at the time had a name that was so obscenely racist and culturally insensitive that CCP eventually stepped in and changed it the [https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/8563435867804-EVE-Online-Naming-Policy way they will with pilot names]. As I said, this was an alt corp that included an alt of CSM's own Mick Fightmaster (this I only learned later from Mick himself when he casually bragged about being part of the eviction in NoVac's comms). I don't believe anyone used these alts to hide their identity as much as they enjoyed the edgelord nature of their corp and character names. There is also the simple fact that having alts who can do evictions while your main stays wherever it is normally staged is extremely convenient | Before I can continue with the rest of the story, I need to talk a bit about the opfor.

The majority of the group were wormholers: Lazerhawks, Hard Knocks (who at the time were considered dead), as well as a variety of smaller names and characters in NPC corps. It is important that I name Lazerhawks and that I now explain that EVE University's FC Team boss (manager or director, I cannot recall), Sparklez Ripper had her main in Lazerhawks while one alt was serving as leadership and a central part of WHC's strategic management team. When Sparklez stepped down from her leadership position it was only weeks before the eviction kicked off. | The majority of the group were wormholers: Lazerhawks, Hard Knocks (who at the time were considered dead), as well as a variety of smaller names and characters in NPC corps.

I want to reiterate that thank you. Although I cannot recall all the names of the pilots who I thanked then, I'd just like to thank: | I want to reiterate that thank you. Although I cannot recall all the names of the pilots who I thanked then, I'd just like to thank: | ||

As evidenced by the existence of WHC in their C4 home, this eviction was a lot of things but it was not the end for WHC. | As evidenced by the existence of WHC in their C4 home, this eviction was a lot of things but it was not the end for WHC. | ||
