'''Project Solitude''' was one of several [[campuses]] within EVE University. A venture to establish a multifaceted presence in the highsec island of Solitude, it was active between 2012 and 2020. This page represents Solitude as of its last moments of activity, and contents below have been unaltered. As of January 2021, the Uni no longer maintains a presence in Solitude, with the campus closed due to low activity.

== Why Solitude? ==
  
Regional Chat Channel and Mailing List: [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=218&t=57868 Solitude.E-Uni]
+
Solitude Campus provides an isolated environment for EVE University students, without frequent war targets but at the same time without easy access to major trade hubs.  You will require a level of motivation and self-sufficiency to survive. Solitude thrives on versatility and new players can instantly have an impact on the Campus and the area. Due to our relative remoteness we all have to work together to maintain our community, we engage in exploration, industry, mining, PvE and PvP; we have access to and regularly visit all levels of space (highsec, lowsec, null, daytriping in wh space).

Solitude Campus runs the local trade hub in our Fortizar - Gravity Well. We built it, we run it and we stock it.  In fact all of our key structures that form our base of operations were 100% built by the Solitude Campus members (and visiting unistas) via mining fleets, PVE fleets, Planetary Interaction and donations, showing our community spirit and commitment.  Come help us grow the Campus and the region, while learning from our friendly veterans.

==Joining the Campus==
  
 +
Joining the Solitude Campus is as simple as joining the ingame {{co|slateblue|Solitude (EVE Uni)}} chat channel. Here, you can ask any of the campus members questions about life in Solitude and how to get involved with the community. Similarly, join us on mumble and talk direct to our campus members. There are no official title requirements for joining Solitude, and you do not need to commit any specific amount of time to the campus.  [[Archive:Travel to Solitude|Come on over]] and pay us a visit.
  
== Mission Statement ==
+
==== Communication ====
  
The mission of Project: Solitude is to provide an isolated environment where students require motivation and self-sufficiency to survive, as well as provide easy access to low-sec and null-sec opportunities. The primary focus is on teaching students to survive without easy access to trade hubs and to live in a secluded high-sec pocket.
+
We use the following EVE University services for communication:
 +
* Ingame chat channel {{co|slateblue|Solitude (EVE Uni)}} (need to be a current member of the Uni and have access to the [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23156 channel password] thread).
 +
* Ingame mailing list {{co|slateblue|Solitude.E-Uni}} (current unistas can join freely, ex-unistas needs to ask the [[#Campus Leadership|Campus Leadership]] for permission).
 +
* The [[Mumble]] channel {{co|slateblue|Solitude Campus}} under '''Special Projects & Events''' (need to be registered on the forum).
 +
* Solitude Campus on the [[Discord|E-Uni Discord server]]
 +
* The [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=218 Solitude Campus] section on the forum.
  
 +
==Campus Details==
  
== Project Solitude Background ==
+
On 31st December 2020 EVE University closed this campus and all its operations in the solitude region.
 
 
Toward the end of July 2012, the EVE University management decided to launch project Solitude. The initial [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=56961 announcement] by CEO Kelduum Revaan outlining a brief history of the Uni and putting this project in its context can be found here.
 
 
 
In a nutshell, the primary aim of Project Solitude is to establish a University presence in a high-sec pocket surrounded by low-sec and 0.0 space, and to help build a centralized trade hub for the region.
 
 
 
 
 
== Overview of the Solitude Region ==
 
 
 
[http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Solitude Solitude] is a smallish region consisting of only 43 systems under the sovereignty of the Gallente Federation. Wedged between [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Aridia Aridia] and [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Syndicate Syndicate], it is made up of two general regions. To the west of the region is a low-sec area bordering both Syndicate and Aridia with the home of the [[Nullsec Campus]] (NSC) only a few jumps away. To the east is a high-sec pocket consisting of 17 systems with a second entrance to Syndicate. This pocket also contains the system of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Boystin Boystin], home to the E-Uni regional HQ as well as the regional trade hub. A further high-sec pocket of 3 systems can be found to the north of the region.
 
 
 
=== Regional Trade Hub & E-Uni Satellite HQ ===
 
 
 
[http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6 - Federal Intelligence Office Assembly Plant] is the regional trade hub, which sees more transaction volume than any other station in both the Solitude region and the neighboring region of Syndicate. In order to help achieve the goal of a centralized trading hub, it is advised to use this location for your trading activities.
 
 
 
[http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6] is also the Project: Solitude headquarters and contains a university office as well as shared university hangars.  These hangars are organized similarly to the hangars in Aldrat.
 
 
 
Within the Alpha hangar the following containers are available:
 
 
 
*'''Solitude Donations''' - items deposited into this container are considered to be donated to the Project: Solitude and will become University property.  Items in this container can only be retrieved by certain personnel.  Once this container is processed, items are generally moved to Alpha or Theta hangars depending on the items.
 
 
 
*'''Alpha Ammo''' - This bin is used to store ammunition for frigate sized ships.  Items in this container can be accessed by those with the Freshman title, and are freely available to take as needed.  Please remember that other students also use this container, so please only take what will satisfy your immediate needs.
 
 
 
*'''Alpha Modules''' - This bin contains modules that Freshmen can access.  Again, please only take what you will need.
 
 
 
*'''Solitude Skill Books''' - This bin stores skill books for student use.
 
 
 
*'''Solitude Inventory''' - This bin is used to replenish the Alpha and Theta Ammo and Modules bins.
 
 
 
*'''Solitude Bookmarks''' - This bin stores bookmarks for sites explorers have found, but not run.
 
 
 
In the Theta hangar, there are the Theta Ammo and Theta Modules containers.  These follow the same rules as Alpha Ammo and Alpha Modules, only for larger ships.
 
 
 
''Please do not place items in any bins other than the Solitude Donations bin.''  Remember to lock the stacks when you are finished, otherwise another Unista could clean out the stacks you unlocked and you would be the one in the log files as having taken everything out.
 
 
 
 
 
===A Brief History===
 
 
 
====The Current Trade Hub====
 
 
 
When the project first started some members already living in the area originally settled on [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Octanneve_III_-_Moon_1_-_Federation_Customs_Logistic_Support Octanneve III – Moon 1 - Federation Customs Logistics Support] as the station of choice for the regional trade hub. However, even at that time [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6] had been the highest volume trade hub in both the Solitude and Syndicate Regions going on several years.
 
 
 
 
 
While [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Octanneve Octanneve] is situated centrally for the inhabitants of Solitude's High-Sec Isle, [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Boystin Boystin] is situated one jump from Low-Sec and two jumps from NPC Null space in Syndicate, making it more centrally located for inhabitants of both regions. This difference translated into sales volume causing [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Octanneve_III_-_Moon_1_-_Federation_Customs_Logistic_Support Octanneve] to flounder as a trade hub while [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin] consistently maintained market dominance. In mid 2013 a vote was proposed and The Solitude Project members chose to change the official trade hub to [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6].
 
 
 
====The Current HQ====
 
 
 
The original E-Uni headquarters was located at [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Oerse_VI_-_Moon_10_-_Quafe_Company_Retail_Center Oerse VI - Moon 10 - Quafe Company Retail Center] and had been the HQ up until shortly after choosing to back [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6] as the official trade hub. At that time another vote was held to move the Solitude Project's headquarters to the neighboring station of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_7_-_Sisters_of_EVE_Bureau Boystin V - Moon 7 - Sisters of EVE Bureau] due to the proximity to the trade hub and the convenience of it's medical facilities.
 
 
 
During the process of changing headquarters it came to light that there were no office slots available in the proposed HQ station of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_7_-_Sisters_of_EVE_Bureau Boystin V - 7]. Thus a final poll was held to determine if the Project HQ should stay in [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Oerse_VI_-_Moon_10_-_Quafe_Company_Retail_Center Oerse] or move to [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - 6], the regional Trade Hub.
 
 
 
It was decided on June 1st, 2013 to move the Solitude Project headquarters to the regional trade hub of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6 - Federal Intelligence Office Assembly Plant].

Living in Solitude has certain advantages over the main high-sec Empire regions. Having said that, the confined nature of the area also has its challenges. Things to be considered before deciding whether to move or not are:
  
==== Advantages ====
+
=== Advantages ===
 +
*Casual atmosphere, the general lack of war targets means we don't insist on players being in mumble and fleet normally.
 +
*The largest campus BPO library, available to all members to make BPCs.
 +
*Stocked Flight Deck and Main hangars, with a good range of beginner hulls, modules and rigs.
 +
*A smaller community, which means you'll regularly see and potentially fly with familiar faces.
 +
*Far from mainland high sec, making war target encounters a lot less likely.
 +
*Easier to organize awareness of WTs in the region and their location (if you ever see one).
 +
*Easier access to low-sec PI while still living in the relative safety of high-sec.
 +
*Easier access to low-sec ores in sparsely populated systems.
 +
*Quick access to NPC null-sec space for PvP excursions.
  
*Far from Aldrat, making war target encounters less likely
+
=== Disadvantages ===
*Easier to organize awareness of WTs in the region and their location
+
*Limited availability of some items on the local market.
*A smaller community, which means you'll regularly see and potentially fly with familiar faces
+
*Potentially higher prices for items that are available on the market.
*Significantly shorter waiting times and reduced cost for use of public research installations
+
*Getting stuff to/from the large market hubs is slower or reliant on High-Sec-to-High-Sec wormholes being found.
*Easier access to low-sec PI while still living in the relative safety of high-sec
+
*Flying to Solitude requires extended travel through low or null sec (low sec route is recommended).
*Easier access to low-sec ores in sparsely populated systems
 
*Quick access to NPC null-sec space for PvP excursions
 
  
==== Disadvantages ====
+
=== What can I do? ===
 
+
*Exploration - sharpen your scanning skills and run data & relic sites. Due to our isolation, scanning down signatures, exploring sites and discovering [[Wormholes]] is a big part of Solitude life.
*Limited availability of items on the local market
+
*Mission - Solitude is a great place to run missions and participate in PVE fleets with experienced players. Visit the [[Archive:Missioning_in_Solitude]] page for more information.
*Higher prices for items that are available on the market
+
*Mine - plenty of belts and opportunities to mine solo or in a fleet. Organize and run your first mining fleet! A collection of valuable moon mining opportunities also await.
*Shipping stuff in and out of the region can be a challenge
+
*PVP - be part of small gang PVP. Try solo PVP. FC a small roam. Proximity to the NSC means you get twice as many opportunities.
*Flying to Solitude requires extended travel through low or null sec
+
*PI - Learn [[Planetary Interaction]]; try it in High Sec and then expand into the nearby Low Sec and Null Sec areas for maximum profit.
*A smaller community, which means that you'll have more autonomy and often be pursuing solo-able activities
+
*Industry - plenty of opportunity to build things. Take part in team efforts to build large capital ships. Learn research and invention with the advice of very experienced players. Visit the [[Archive:Industry in Solitude]] page for more details.
*Certain Uni programs ([http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/BYOM BYOM] / [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/PYOS_Ship_Production PYOS] / [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Ship_Replacement_Program Ship Replacement Program]) are yet to be extended to Solitude
+
*Trade - We own the trade hub of the region - Gravity Well. Learn market PVP, without the BOTs from the large hubs that undercut you within minutes.
 
+
*Socialize - you will meet the same people (unistas and others) again and again - talk to them! Fly with them! Part of the charm of the Solitude Campus is the close knit community.
== Who runs the project? ==
+
*Field trips - just explore Low Sec and Null Sec, and learn about gate and station guns, how bubbles work, how to scout your way and practice how to evade gate camps.
 
 
Project Solitude is a consolidated effort of volunteers and pioneers with the aim to establish an area where people can flourish.  Although there are no restrictions on venturing into low-sec and null-sec space, the project mainly revolves around the larger high-sec pocket in the region. Project: Solitude is subject to all EVE University rules, and is not exempt from the standard rules or the Wartime Standard Operating Procedure.
 
 
 
*[[EVE University Rules]]
 
*[[Overview Guide]]
 
 
 
== Programs Available in Solitude==
 
 
 
There are a few programs available to Unistas in Solitude.
 
 
 
* [[Solitude Coordinated Scanning Endeavour]]
 
The Solitude Coordinated Scanning Endeavor is the life blood of our logistics.  The high-sec to high-sec wormholes they find are key in moving goods in and out of the area safely. 
 
 
 
* [[Solitude Ship Building Program]]
 
The Solitude Ship Building Program builds t1 frigates, cruisers, and destroyers for University members in the Solitude region.
 
 
 
== What do I need to become a 'Solidude'? ==
 
 
 
The only mandatory requirement for a life in Solitude is a healthy dose of pioneer/explorer spirit along with a determination to overcome the challenges of living in a confined high-sec area. All other skills are optional. Project Solitude is open to members of all levels: from people who only just started out in EVE and are new to the Uni, to advanced industrialists, explorers, PVP’ers, etc…
 
 
 
... oh and balls, big ones.
 
 
 
== How to get to Solitude ==
 
One question to ask yourself before heading out to Solitude is, do you see yourself wanting to come back to contiguous Hi-Sec regularly? If so, it is highly recommended that you first obtain a [[Jump Clone|Jump Clone]] and move it to [[Aldrat|Aldrat]] (or wherever you wish to return) before heading out to Solitude. Failure to do this may cause you to miss out on Corporate and Alliance events hosted at the University HQ since the route back can be time consuming and perilous.
 
 
 
==== Taking the 'Pod Express' ====
 
 
 
*As long as you don’t have any implants in your clone and your new medical clone is fairly cheap, you can travel to Solitude by “Pod Express”. Change your medical clone location to one of the stations in Oerse and then self-destruct your pod. It might be a good idea to get a jump clone in empire first so you can jump back to HQ if need be.
 
 
 
==== Dodging pirates in low-sec ====
 
 
 
*This is the [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route/Bherdasopt:Yvelet long route] via Aridia , from Bherdasopt (high-sec) through Gonditsa, Otakod, Agaullores and Yveve to Yvelet (high-sec). The biggest risk of this particular route is a persistent gatecamp of the Bherdasopt gate in Gondista. When planning to take this route, it might be a good idea to scout ahead and check if the area is safe.
 
*Read the [[Safety_Tips_for_Operating_in_Low_Sec|Safety Tips for Operating in Low Sec]] for additional information.
 
 
 
==== Facing the quiet dangers of null-sec ====
 
 
 
*For those brave enough to venture into null-sec, there are two possible routes through Syndicate to get to Solitude:
 
**[http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route/Stacmon:Boystin Route 1] starts in Stacmon (0.6) and goes through two low-sec systems (Ostingele and Harroule) and enters Syndicate at MHC-R3. It then carries on via M2-CF1, Y9G-KS, Pertnineere (low-sec) and then Boystin (high-sec)
 
**[http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route/Chesiette:Boystin Route 2] starts in Chesiette (0.6) and goes through one low-sec system (Reblier) and enters Syndicate at 6-CZ49. This route also ends up at M2-CF1 and follows the rest of the path to Solitude as mentioned above.
 
 
 
*Please visit the Solitude.E-Uni channel before travelling through Syndicate. The above mentioned pipes are frequently bring travelled by members already based in Solitude and some viable intel might be available.
 
 
 
==== Jumping down a Wormhole ====
 
 
 
*The ‘Solitude Co-ordinated Scanning Endeavour’ finds hisec-to-hisec wormholes on average two to three times a week. This makes it a lot easier for those wanting to move assets into the region without having to go through the dangerous low-sec or null-sec pipes. Entry and exit points for active WH’s can usually be found in the Project Solitude bookmarks folder. Notifications are being sent out via a mailing list that has been created specifically for this purpose. Please check the forum or ask in Solitude.E-Uni for further details.
 
 
 
==== Making use of courier services ====
 
 
 
*Wormholes have a limited time and mass. As such, it might not always be possible for members to make good use of them. An alternative is to use a courier to move assets into the region. Although there are many courier services around, [http://black-frog.red-frog.org/jumps.php Black Frog] is probably the best known. Note though that using courier services can be a quite costly exercise. Black Frog for example, charges 100,000,000 ISK to move up to 320,000 m3 from Aldrat to Oerse.
 
*Several E-UNI members routinely move materials into Solitude and may be willing to accept courier contracts. Pricing is typically negotiable. New players needing small packages moved may find a courier willing to move the goods for a significant discount. Please see the following forum posts for details:

=== What to Bring and What NOT to Bring ===
 
 
 
----
 
 
 
Due to having limited access to the rest of Empire space, it is wise to bring as much of whatever you might need as possible. You will find that certain items are less expensive in Solitude while other items are far more expensive. Make sure to check out The Alpha Hanger if you have trouble obtaining equipment through the local market.
 
 
 
==== What to Bring ====
 
 
 
===== Modules Tech I & Tech II =====
 
Firstly, be ready to have spare modules, and try to bring equipment over in bulk whenever possible in order to limit risk.
 
 
 
'''Sometimes the prices can be double what they are in Empire''' for both Tech II and Meta 4 modules. Some modules are almost nonexistent on the Solitude marketplace. If you are curious about whether or not a specific item is stocked in Solitude and you do not have access to the area simply head over to [http://http://eve-central.com/ EvE-Central], click on the advanced tab, select solitude from the drop-down list of Regions and enter the item that you're looking for. If EvE-Central doesn't have the information that you need you can always ask for a price check in the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23156 Solitude.E-Uni] Chat channel.
 
 
 
===== Scanning Related =====
 
 
 
Some recommended modules to have spares of:
 
* Cloaking devices (Cov-Ops Cloak if you can fly a Cov-Ops frigate, T3 or Recon cruiser)
 
* Core Probe Launchers (Sisters Core Probe Launchers are a good idea as the price for these can be exorbitant in Solitude)
 
* Core Probes (Sisters Core Probes are recommended)
 
* Cov-Ops Frigates (If you can fly one of these the world is your oyster)
 
 
 
===== Skillbooks =====
 
 
 
There is a [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Elore_VI_-_Moon_4_-_Federal_Navy_Academy_School Federation Navy School] two jumps into Low-Sec in the system of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Elore Elore].
 
Note that not all skillbooks will be seeded here and that both this station and the route to it are often camped. It is recommended to do a little scouting or go as a group if you are unfamiliar with Low Security space.
 
 
 
===== General Supplies =====
 
Ammunition and scripts are generally not more expensive in Solitude than elsewhere in Empire. Nanopaste and cap boosters will usually need to be obtained outside of Solitude if large quantities are needed.
 
 
 
===== Tech I Industrial =====
 
 
 
It's a good idea to use a T1 Industrial when moving a medium amount of cargo (~5K m^3 - 30K m^3) as they carry enough for several packaged frigates or a couple cruisers and you can make multiple trips through a High-Sec to High-Sec Wormhole in a T1 Industrial without compromising the stability of the Wormhole.
 
 
 
An ''imicus'' is an ideal alternative if you don't have that much to cart over as it has a base 400 m^3 cargo that can be expanded up to 1,261 m^3 with Cargohold Expander modules and Cargohold Optimization Rigs.
 
 
 
==== What NOT to Bring ====
 
 
 
===== Certain Ships =====
 
 
 
Many T1 Sub-Capitol ships are less expensive to obtain in Solitude due to the proximity to Null Security space and the risk involved in transporting ships back out to the rest of Empire.  
 
 
 
For the same reason larger and more expensive ships (i.e. Freighters and Pirate Cruisers/Battleships) can be difficult to take back out of Solitude. Consideration should be given when bringing them into the area. Most High-Sec to High-Sec Wormholes can only handle a Freighter passing through twice before they are destabilized.
 
 
 
If you feel you must bring something shiny or large, make sure that it is something that you will use regularly as it may be very difficult and time-consuming to relocate such items back to the contiguous Empire.
 
 
 
== Missioning in Solitude: ==
 
 
 
There are a number of good security mission corps in Solitude - Federation Customs, Federal Intelligence Office, Federation Navy, Poteque pharmaceuticals. 
 
While there are a number of other stations, agents, and offices (as found at [http://util.eveuniversity.org/Missions/AgentRangefinder/ Agent Range Finder]); listed below are the corporations with level 4 security agents which are the easiest to grind up while in Solitude. From time to time E-Uni members will even organize [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Mission_Fleet_(Spider)/ Spider] and/or [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Mission_Fleet_(Locust)#Locust/ Locust] fleets throughout Solitude to further help grind up standings for those that are new to the area. Other than the few level 4 agents notated**, only the high security space agents are listed.

==== Ladar Sites ====
 
 
 
The Low-Sec constellation of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Solitude/Elerelle#sec Elerelle], located in Solitude, is one of only two places in New Eden where Ladar sites produce unusually large amounts of [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Celadon_Mykoserocin Celadon], which is the chief ingredient in the production of Exile, a Combat Booster used to increase a capsuleers armor repair amount by a certain percentage.
 
 
 
Ladar sites in Solitude occur very frequently in both High and Low Security areas.
 
 
 
==== Ice Belts ====
 
* Niballe (0.6 / 3 jumps from Boystin) is the most popular ice belt in the area.  Regulars are generally friendly and plenty of ice to go around.
 
* Cadelanne (0.1 / 9 jumps from Boystin) typically only has a few residents, often blue.
 
 
 
Note that it is not recommended to ice mine while away from the keyboard (AFK). There are local entities that have been known to suicide gank (using large groups of expendable destroyers) miners that are non-responsive.
 
 
 
==== Regular Mining ====
 
 
 
* The EVE University student organized [[Amarr Mining Campus]], also known as "The AMC", has a satellite office located in Solitude, with many of its organizers and coordinators active in the region. The AMC helps support Unista and Alumni miners with several services: Access to corp hangers for mining supplies, assistance in organizing mining fleets, and with refining ore at no cost. For more information on the locations of these services, join the AMC chat channel "'''Amarr Mining Campus'''" (password: same as standard E-Uni channels) and the AMC mailing list (also "Amarr Mining Campus"). Also, visit the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=233&start=0 Amarr Mining Campus Forum] for additional support.
 
 
 
* Harner (0.1 / 4 jumps) is a single asteroid belt location with some nice asteroids.  It's generally empty aside from an occasional visit from ratters or explorers.  That said, Sarline (the only way out of the dead end ring) semi-frequently has a pirate (typically solo) guarding the exit.
 
 
 
==== Research ====
 
 
 
There is a student owned and operated research POS in Solitude now! Several mobile laboratories are available for lease in their various capacities. More information is on the forums [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=218&t=64799 here].

Project Solitude was one of several campuses within EVE University. A venture to establish a multifaceted presence in the highsec island of Solitude, it was active between 2012 and 2020. This page represents Solitude as of its last moments of activity, and contents below have been unaltered. As of January 2021, the Uni no longer maintains a presence in Solitude, with the campus closed due to low activity.

Why Solitude?

Solitude Campus provides an isolated environment for EVE University students, without frequent war targets but at the same time without easy access to major trade hubs. You will require a level of motivation and self-sufficiency to survive. Solitude thrives on versatility and new players can instantly have an impact on the Campus and the area. Due to our relative remoteness we all have to work together to maintain our community, we engage in exploration, industry, mining, PvE and PvP; we have access to and regularly visit all levels of space (highsec, lowsec, null, daytriping in wh space).

Solitude Campus runs the local trade hub in our Fortizar - Gravity Well. We built it, we run it and we stock it. In fact all of our key structures that form our base of operations were 100% built by the Solitude Campus members (and visiting unistas) via mining fleets, PVE fleets, Planetary Interaction and donations, showing our community spirit and commitment. Come help us grow the Campus and the region, while learning from our friendly veterans.

Joining the Campus

Joining the Solitude Campus is as simple as joining the ingame Solitude (EVE Uni) chat channel. Here, you can ask any of the campus members questions about life in Solitude and how to get involved with the community. Similarly, join us on mumble and talk direct to our campus members. There are no official title requirements for joining Solitude, and you do not need to commit any specific amount of time to the campus. Come on over and pay us a visit.

Communication

We use the following EVE University services for communication:

  • Ingame chat channel Solitude (EVE Uni) (need to be a current member of the Uni and have access to the channel password thread).
  • Ingame mailing list Solitude.E-Uni (current unistas can join freely, ex-unistas needs to ask the Campus Leadership for permission).
  • The Mumble channel Solitude Campus under Special Projects & Events (need to be registered on the forum).
  • Solitude Campus on the E-Uni Discord server
  • The Solitude Campus section on the forum.

Campus Details

On 31st December 2020 EVE University closed this campus and all its operations in the solitude region.

Overview of the Solitude Region

Solitude is a smallish region consisting of only 43 systems under the sovereignty of the Gallente Federation. Wedged between Aridia and Syndicate, Solitude is made up of two general regions. To the west of the region is a low-sec area bordering both Syndicate and Aridia with the home of the Nullsec Campus (NSC) only a few jumps away. To the east is a high-sec pocket consisting of 17 systems with a second entrance to Syndicate. This pocket also contains the system of Boystin, home to the E-Uni regional HQ as well as the regional trade hub. A further high-sec pocket of 3 systems can be found to the north of the region.

What it means to live in Solitude

Living in Solitude has certain advantages over the main high-sec Empire regions. Having said that, the confined nature of the area also has its challenges. Things to be considered before deciding whether to move or not are:

Advantages

  • Casual atmosphere, the general lack of war targets means we don't insist on players being in mumble and fleet normally.
  • The largest campus BPO library, available to all members to make BPCs.
  • Stocked Flight Deck and Main hangars, with a good range of beginner hulls, modules and rigs.
  • A smaller community, which means you'll regularly see and potentially fly with familiar faces.
  • Far from mainland high sec, making war target encounters a lot less likely.
  • Easier to organize awareness of WTs in the region and their location (if you ever see one).
  • Easier access to low-sec PI while still living in the relative safety of high-sec.
  • Easier access to low-sec ores in sparsely populated systems.
  • Quick access to NPC null-sec space for PvP excursions.

Disadvantages

  • Limited availability of some items on the local market.
  • Potentially higher prices for items that are available on the market.
  • Getting stuff to/from the large market hubs is slower or reliant on High-Sec-to-High-Sec wormholes being found.
  • Flying to Solitude requires extended travel through low or null sec (low sec route is recommended).

What can I do?

  • Exploration - sharpen your scanning skills and run data & relic sites. Due to our isolation, scanning down signatures, exploring sites and discovering Wormholes is a big part of Solitude life.
  • Mission - Solitude is a great place to run missions and participate in PVE fleets with experienced players. Visit the Archive:Missioning_in_Solitude page for more information.
  • Mine - plenty of belts and opportunities to mine solo or in a fleet. Organize and run your first mining fleet! A collection of valuable moon mining opportunities also await.
  • PVP - be part of small gang PVP. Try solo PVP. FC a small roam. Proximity to the NSC means you get twice as many opportunities.
  • PI - Learn Planetary Interaction; try it in High Sec and then expand into the nearby Low Sec and Null Sec areas for maximum profit.
  • Industry - plenty of opportunity to build things. Take part in team efforts to build large capital ships. Learn research and invention with the advice of very experienced players. Visit the Archive:Industry in Solitude page for more details.
  • Trade - We own the trade hub of the region - Gravity Well. Learn market PVP, without the BOTs from the large hubs that undercut you within minutes.
  • Socialize - you will meet the same people (unistas and others) again and again - talk to them! Fly with them! Part of the charm of the Solitude Campus is the close knit community.
  • Field trips - just explore Low Sec and Null Sec, and learn about gate and station guns, how bubbles work, how to scout your way and practice how to evade gate camps.
