The Wormhole Community is one of the four recognized [[Communities|communities of EVE University]], dedicated to teaching students about [[wormhole]] life through immersion. It was born in late November 2012 and relocated in March 2024 on EVE University's 20th birthday. WHC is currently based out of a C4 wormhole with a C2 and a C3 static.
C2 wormhole with both a highsec static (allowing easy access to [[kspace]] for
 
classes and logistics) and a C3 static (for ISK making and PvP opportunities).

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 ===
 +
In order to join the Wormhole Community, you must have the [[Titles_within_EVE_University#Freshman|Freshman title]] and meet certain skill point requirements. Broadly, we require two things:
  
 +
* 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.
  
 +
* You are able to fly at least one damage ''and'' logistics ship from our core PvP doctrines: [https://auth.eveuniversity.org/fittings/doctrine/16/ AAF] and [https://auth.eveuniversity.org/fittings/doctrine/14/ SBC]. Wormhole groups like WHC tend to live and die together. We want everyone in WHC to be able to participate from the minute they step foot into the our home hole.
  
 +
'''''Don't worry about trying to figure these out yourself.''''' Instead, WHC provides a corporate skill plan that contains the bare minimum skills needed to meet these requirements. If you train it, you're set. The entire plan is under a month of training time for even a zero-day-old character. You can find it by searching for it in-game in the EVE University corporate skill plans or by copying the URL link below into the in-game notepad and clicking it.

=== Applying to WHC ===
[[User:Larsen_Knight|Larsen Knight]]<br>
+
We use EVE University's Alliance Auth system for applications. Once you have your Freshman title and met the skill requirements above, you can use the WHC tool here:

'''WHC Reimbursement Officers'''<br>
+
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 ===
 +
Our goal is to make getting started as easy as possible. To achieve this, WHC runs a number of programs designed to let new players hit the ground running without worrying about preparations. Moving in is just three steps:
  
 +
# Jump into a scanning ship with a Covert Ops cloak.
 +
# Join our voice comms and the WHC standing fleet.
 +
# Open up [https://pathfinder.eveuniversity.org/map/MQ%3D%3D Pathfinder] to find a route in. Any WHC member will be happy to help you find the closest way in if you're unfamiliar.
  
The WHC is overseen by the [[Management#Director_of_Special_Projects|Director of Special Projects]]. In the event of other issues or problems with people please contact the [[Student Advocate]].
+
That's it. You're home!
  
== Minimum Requirements ==
+
The most common question new players ask when they join is "which ships should I bring?"
 +
Our answer is J.B.Y.S.: '''''<span style="color:#FFFFFF">Just Bring Your Scanner</span>'''''.
  
{| class="wikitable"
+
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.
!Skills
+
So we ensure that standard PvP doctrine ships are always available on contract in our home station for below-Jita prices and PvE loaner ships for running sites, harvesting gas clouds, or mining asteroids as well as rolling ships are available in the general hangar for anyone to borrow.
!Titles
+
Once you get a sense for what activities you want to pursue and what your goals are, then you can worry about buying new ships and getting them in.
!Recommended Knowledge
+
Until then, WHC has you covered.

==Joining the WHC==
+
=== Community Rules and Etiquette ===
Once you have met the requirements above and are ready to try out wormhole life, follow the instructions below to be invited to join the WHC.
+
Because members tend to interact and rely on each other more than other parts of the University, WHC has some of its own conventions and rules. While most of the community etiquette is easy to pick up as you interact with other players, our policies are covered in detail in its own page for your reference. New members are not expected to know everything, but many policies are important for day-to-day operations.
  
*Fill out [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?usp=drive_web&formkey=dFlhcGtRbGVJbmNjelZKQmVMQXdkLUE6MA#gid=0 this form]
+
{{Color box|color= #202020|border= #0B64BF|text= white|'''Learn about Community Etiquette:'''<br>[[Wormhole Community Etiquette]]}}
  
NOTE: Receiving the "[X]" title will cause you to not be able to participate in the campus. And if you are already in when you get the title, you and your alts are required to leave.
+
=== Alt Characters ===
 +
[[Alt#Alternate Character|Alternate characters]] are widespread and useful in wormhole space, and players are welcome to bring them to WHC. Alts receive docking rights to all structures and access to our shared bookmarks folder. The requirements are simple:
  
== Recommended Skills & Ships ==
+
* A player must have a main character accepted to WHC.
 +
* Alts ''must'' be a member of a corporation in either the Ivy League or the Ivy League Alt Alliance.
  
'''Important: '''Due to the dangerous nature of PvE and PvP in w-space, and the mechanics of Ship Maintenance Arrays allowing access to all ships in storage, '''any ship and pod brought into the campus is to be considered lost or stolen. Do not fly what you cannot replace.'''
+
Alts '''do NOT''' need to meet the WHC entry requirements, and there is no limit on the number a player may have, within reason (WHC Community Coordinators hold final judgement on this). Alts may be either Omega or Alpha accounts.
  
Also, keep in mind that when [[Wartime_SOP|WSOP]] is in effect any sufficiently shiny loss to a war target is grounds for the [[Titles#.5BX.5D_Administrative_Suspension|X title]] and removal from the WHC. Lack of Local and not knowing they are in system is not a valid excuse.
+
Use the same [https://auth.eveuniversity.org/whctools/ WHC Application (Alliance Auth)] to apply with an alt. The process works just like a normal application.
  
 +
<!--
 +
==== Combat Comms ====
  
This section lists skills and ships that, while not required, can increase the amount of roles you can fulfill while in the campus.
+
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.
  
{| class="wikitable"
+
Use the same [https://auth.eveuniversity.org/whctools/ WHC Application (Alliance Auth)] to apply with an alt, but your alt ''must'' be in an NPC corp at the time of application. Once the application is processed, you will receive an in-game corporate invitation to Combat Comms.

== Life at WHC ==
!Ship
+
Unlike most other areas of space in EVE, the shifting connections between wormholes mean that the content available to you is always different and highly unpredictable. This requires a certain mindset: only when you log in will you find out whether there is PvP conflict afoot, PvE opportunities nearby, or just the vast unknown waiting to be charted. Staying flexible and being willing to adapt to the current environment around our home is key to succeeding and enjoying wormhole life.

=== Scanning ===
 +
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.
  
The above are merely suggestions for being useful during your first few weeks in system without investing too many resources in the endeavor. Once you are more comfortable with day-to-day operations and better understand the risks involved, you may consider bringing in more specialized or expensive ships and equipment.
+
* We use EVE University's private [[Pathfinder]] server to map and navigate the chain.
 +
* We use the [[WHC System Naming Scheme]] and [[WHC Bookmark Naming Scheme]] to keep navigation consistent.
  
=== [[Ship fits for Wormholes]] can be found here, this page will have fittings for C5 wormholes, which can also be used for C3's. ===
+
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.
  
== Beyond Skills: The Wormhole Mindset ==
+
=== PvP ===
 +
Wormholes are a hotbed of PvP activity, and PvP fights are considered a priority by most wormhole groups, including WHC. This mentality and the desire to seek out fights with other corps leads to a common culture across wormhole space. While nearly all pilots you will run into are bloodthirsty, most are also interested in fighting because it's fun. It's not unusual to have cordial discussion with an opponent, sometimes even leading to changes in the ships that a side is flying to ensure that the fight is more even---and thus more fun. On the flipside, wormhole groups that avoid conflict or are solely interested in ISK-making are generally shunned and often find themselves on the wrong end of an eviction. Wormhole space also has a reputation for smaller scale (but sometimes more expensive) fights. Fleet battles do happen, but most engagements that you will participate in are between 5 and 30 players. This means that your choices matter, and WHC members tend to rapidly gain a lot of first-hand experience fighting (and dying!) in PvP.
  
Most people's first concerns relate to "what skills do I need to get in" and the aforementioned skills are a good base with which to start life in the WHC; however, if you intend to stay for any length of time you should be aware of a few of the realities of WHC life.
+
=== PvE ===
 +
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.
  
# Scanning (and ultimately CovOps) isn't an optional activity
+
====Combat Sites====
#* A T1 scanning frigate is a good starting point, but realize covert scanning (i.e. CovOps cloaking device) is one of the most important, valuable contributions that a lower-skilled player can make to WH operations.
+
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.
# Battleships aren't used much beyond rolling wormholes and local defence
 
#* Wormholes have mass limits.
 
#* As you familiarize yourself with not just ''what'', but also ''how'' things are done in a wormhole, you'll see that T3s, Logi, HACs and HICs are the most in-demand ship types.  To maximize the roles you can fill over time, you should be willing to adjust the skill plan you may have had in mind.
 
# The space you're living in is no longer well-defined
 
#* The wormhole in which you're living may seem constant, but just about everything else is quite dynamic as connecting wormholes form and collapse.  What you think of as the neighbourhood (and thus the neighbours) changes all the time.
 
#* Things you may take for granted such as easy access to trade hubs for shopping will vary over time.
 
# You're going to be trapped in here with us ;)
 
#* You won't always feel like you have a lot of choice in what you can do at any given moment.  Perhaps you logged in thinking you'll run sites, but find that there is PVP going on.  Such is life, guess you'll be doing PVP today.  Life is fluid in a WH.
 
# The need for self-motivation
 
#* Passive players will find things boring before long.  WH life is literally what you make it.  New campers always have a period of time figuring out what is actually going on, but in the end you need to be a self-starter who can independently do what needs doing.
 
#* Eventually you'll notice some annoyance at the people who manage to log in and run sites all the time, but have no time for scanning, rolling an unwanted wormhole, etc.  It's a team effort and everyone needs to play.
 
  
For the right kind of player, nothing beats living in a wormhole; however, it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.  The WHC is an amazing opportunity for players to experience it first hand and see if it's what they're after. Just be aware that beyond a minimal set of skills to join the campus, you can expect a few lifestyle changes that will likely extend to your skill plan and how you spend your time online.
+
====Gas and Ore====
 +
[[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.
  
==What Can I Do in WHC?==
+
====Hacking====
*<span style="font-size:1.5em;">'''Scan, scan, scan!'''</span> Everything in W-space needs to be scanned down. Probe the chain, scout new connections, observe our neighbours, picket a hole if you are not doing anything. Do not sit at the POS and wait for stuff to happen, content, whether PvP or PvE is created by You!
+
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.
**It is especially important to keep note of all new signatures so we don't get surprised by unexpected neighbours. Compare the signatures in the mapper with those in your scan window and right click->ignore all the known ones. This way you will immediately see if a new signature spawns.

==Campus Rules, Procedures and Etiquette==
+
=== Industry ===
===General===
+
WHC offers a variety of industrial opportunities, including some that are unique to wormhole space.
*Members active in the campus must be in the WHC fleet. If there is no fleet advertised, you may form one, and put up an advert so others may join.
 
*Members active in the campus must be in mumble, at least able to listen. (if you are hearing impaired, let us know)
 
**Wormhole Campus mumble is an event chat, so you may join mumble if you are not actively participating in the fleet, however you MUST follow combat comms when active.
 
*Help your fellow campers learn. This is an on-going educational event. Lesson opportunities override all else.
 
*Adhere to all [[EVE University Rules]] and [[Wartime Standard Operating Procedures|WSOP]].
 
*Fly what you can afford to lose.
 
  
===How much you can bring in===
+
====Planetary Industry====
* For the Communal POS
+
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.
** You can NOT bring in an orca and store it in the SMA's. However you can hide it in a safespot.
 
* For POS Groups
 
** Once you have been accepted into a POS group ([http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=236&t=63386 POS Group Bazarr is found here]) Then you can bring in as much as your POS leader says.
 
  
*<span style="font-size:1.35em;">'''IMPORTANT!!'''</span>
+
====Structures====
** Some ships at the 7-1 POS are named "WHC Defence"  DO NOT TAKE SHIPS WITH THAT NAME WITHOUT ASKING FIRST. 
+
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.
**Directors, WHC Staff and ILN Lieutenants, Commanders and Captains can authorize the use of those ships for the express purpose of WHC Home Defence.  They are not for site running, normal PVP or for hole rolling.
 
  
===PvE===
+
{| class="wikitable" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto;"
*PvE loot is property of the group who agree to rat or run sites together.
+
|+ Structures at WHC
*The campus offers a loot hauling and selling service at a 5% cut which goes to fuel and other operational needs. See below for more info.

====Services====
*Campus communications are by default “OPEN COMMS”.
+
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.
*You may not enter the Wormhole Campus Mumble Channel unless you are a campus member, Eve Uni Staff, Manager or Director. You will most likely be asked to leave and then kicked.
 
*When first entering the campus mumble, please wait at least a full minute before speaking, unless it is very urgent.
 
*Campus may move to “Open Command” or "Closed Comms" if there is a threat in the immediate location or if a local QRF has formed.
 
*Groups of students operating in the Wormhole chain may remain in the main campus mumble.
 
*Operations in Known Space must move to a separate ILN Fleet mumble channel. Moving to a separate fleet from the campus is recommended but not required.
 
*We operate on a "built for purpose" foundation.  If you are hunting someone in particular, or are operating a constant operation hunting targets, join a separate mumble channel (or fleet as a whole) until you accomplish your goal or disband the initiative.  This helps organize our fleet and keep comms clear for those who need it.

===Alt Rules while at the WHC===
+
=== WHC Culture ===
 +
Living in wormhole space is demanding and requires a curious combination of self-reliance and cooperation. WHC is a close-knit community where individuals have a lot of freedom to create and guide group content and where communication and teamwork are central to our lifestyle. This unique blend has led to a strong sense of identity and culture, not unlike that of the larger wormhole community in EVE. When you arrive, you become one of us and a part of both those identities.
  
*All of your Alts behavior, regardless of which Corp / Alliance they are in are subject to [[EVE University Rules]]. Any break of those rules will result in disciplinary action taken on your main.
+
* '''Comradery'''
*No Alts shall be allowed in the W-Space system if the Main character is not an active member of the WHC. Your main may leave the WHC for events / shopping trips / and other activities but should return in a day or so, otherwise your Alt(s) will be asked to leave also.
+
WHC operates as a single, cohesive group, whether that means forming an attack fleet to hunt down an enemy, sharing tricks for efficient scouting, or hauling a ship in for a new member. We live and die by the strength of our allies, and empowering them forges a stronger group. These bonds often last well beyond our time in the University, and it is not uncommon to meet, fight, or learn from former Unistas in J-space.
*If your main receives an [[Titles#.5BX.5D_Administrative_Suspension|[X] Title]], your Alt must also leave the system.
 
*You may bring multiple Alts who are in the [[Ivy League]] alliance (as in the alt is in the [[Ivy League Hall of Residence]]). Be advised that we will keep a close eye on the numbers and if we see that pilots are abusing this (as in bringing in 10 ALTS and not leave any PI for the regular Unistas) we may place a limit on this.
 
*You may bring only 1 Alt that is out of the alliance, said Alt may be in a NPC Corporation or a personnal Player Owned Corporation.
 
**Personal Player Owned Corporation must be owned and inhabited only by Alts of a UNI character who is an active member of the WHC.
 
**Personal Player Owned Corporation standings must be set to +5. Please join the in-game channel "Diplomacy.E-UNI" for instructions on how to do this. (You can blame CCP POS mechanics for this one)
 
**The Alt (as in the Character itself) must be set to +7.5 to the [[Ivy League]] Alliance please fill in [http://eveuni.org/wh-alt this form] to accomplish this, Wait for a confirmation email from the diplomats and then please wait 24 hours (to ensure standings register, we hope that is long enough)
 
*Due to current POS mechanics, your Alt that is in the [[Ivy League]] Alliance ([[Ivy League Hall of Residence]]) will be able to enter the POS shield of the Communal POS, your Alt that is outside of the Alliance will not.
 
*Note that even if Ivy League Hall of Residence alts can enter the communal POS, they will not have access to the Ship Maintenance Array (SMA). In clear, this means that alts can't store, board, assemble or package ships in the communal POS. If you join a POS group, your alt may be able to access the SMA there.
 
*Ivy League Hall of Residence alts have however access to the same 50000 m3 private storage area as regular Eve University members.
 
*No Out-of-Alliance Alts will have access to any of the POS modules. (That includes the Ship Maintenance Array and the Corp Hangar Array)

+
* '''Boldness'''
 +
Wormhole life instills a strong sense of self-motivation and risk-taking. You never know what is lurking in the next system, and nearly every activity requires ''someone'' to take a risk to make it happen. WHC members are willing to make things happen, whether it's leading a harvester fleet for the first time, ambushing a stronger enemy target, or just flying something outside of their comfort zone. This mentality is rewarded by patience and understanding from the community: we encourage members to stretch themselves knowing that they will make mistakes. That's how we learn to be better.
  
WHC uses the E-UNI Jabber server and it's own password-protected WHC channel. More information is here:[[WHC Jabber]]. You may subscribe to pings from the mapper.
+
* '''Willingness to Act'''
 +
The Wormhole Community is an icon of EVE University. It historically has some of the best pilots the Uni has to offer, it is one of the most active subgroups, and its members are well-respected. This perception has been earned through years of heeding the call of action, but it is ultimately built upon the same foundation of cooperation and teamwork. When the Uni needs combat pilots for stratops, you will find WHC pilots flying key roles; when the Uni needs experienced teachers, you will find WHC members preparing material; and when the Uni needs leadership, you will find WHC members in staff roles, keeping the lights on.
  
== Naming Conventions ==
+
== Resources ==
 +
WHC's mission as an immersion program includes creating an environment suitable for learning. This means providing the essential infrastructure, learning material, and guidance that players need. The sections below outline some of these resources.
  
====What Are Bacon, Eggs and Innuendo?====
+
=== Community Services ===
Innuendo is our home system, the one with all our POSs.<br>
+
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.
Bacon is what we call the C3 static in our wormhole.<br>
 
Eggs is what we call the Highsec static in our wormhole.<br>
 
  
====Mapper Naming Scheme====
+
{{Color box|color= #202020|border= #0B64BF|text= white|'''Learn about WHC services:'''<br>[[Wormhole Community Services]]}}
Given the dynamic nature of W-space, it is critical that we be able to share a map as well as agree on how we refer to the connections within it.  Ideally the naming scheme helps to navigate the chain, or at the very least understand the approximate location of systems in the chain for those situations when time or speed is of the essence.  The ability to navigate via bookmarks for situations when the mapper happens to be down or otherwise inaccessible is also helpful.
 
  
* Reference: [[WHC Mapping Scheme]]<br>
+
=== PvP Doctrines ===
 +
EVE University maintains a full list of all its combat doctrines in Alliance Auth. WHC relies heavily on three in particular:
  
====Bookmark Naming Scheme====
+
* [https://auth.eveuniversity.org/fittings/doctrine/16/ Armor Assault Frigates (AAF)] A lightweight doctrine popular for [[QRF]]s.
Given that we all need to be able to navigate in the chain, sensible bookmark names are essential so that you can make sense of bookmarks that you didn't make yourself and so that others can make sense of yours.  As such, the WHC has adopted a specific method for naming bookmarks to maximize the efficiency with which we can navigate the chain.
+
* [https://auth.eveuniversity.org/fittings/doctrine/14/ Shield Battlecruisers (SBC)] A heavier brawling doctrine.
 +
* [https://auth.eveuniversity.org/fittings/doctrine/3/ Kitey Small Gang (KSG)] Uni's nano doctrine.
  
* Reference: [[WHC Bookmarking Scheme]]<br>
+
The WHC entrance requirements enable all pilots to fly the first two. KSG has a much broader range of ships and tends to be a more personal choice. Members are encouraged to try out various fits and find what they like.
  
It is also recommended that you make and maintain certain personal bookmarks:
+
=== Home Defense ===
*Bookmark the K-Space side of wormholes yourself
+
J-space is lawless and does ''not'' offer [[Asset Safety]], which means you and your belongings are always at risk. The responsibility of any wormhole denizen, of course, is to defend their home, and WHC is no exception. Briefly, our broad strategy for home defense is three-fold:
*Make [[Safe_Spot|safe spots]]
 
*Make tactical bookmarks
 
** Double optimal from each POS defense grouping
 
** On grid yet outside minimum warp distance (150km) of the POS
 
** Just off grid from POS
 
  
== Living in Wormhole Space ==
+
# '''Be Ready to Fight''': WHC has a home defense doctrine, and all WHC members are eventually expected to train into and own a home defense ship.
You can use this link for additional information on [[Living in Wormhole Space]]. <br>

# '''Pack Light and Share''': The best way to avoid losing something is never to have it in the first place. Only bring what you need and take advantage of communal resources.
Useful notes for site running - [[Wormhole Exploration Sites]] <br>
+
# '''Safeguard Your Assets''': If the worst case comes to pass, ensure that your belongings don't end up floating in space.

===Loot Hauling & Selling===
 
The WHC Campus operates a loot hauling and selling service. We strive to do the hauling and payouts related to the sheet weekly, so your payment is slightly delayed, but you won't have to haul loot through wartarget riddled K-Space. The WHC takes a 5% cut for operational costs and distributes the rest based on income.

+
=== Community Coordinators ===
 +
Community Coordinators (CCs) help guide the Wormhole Community. They are content creators, custodians, teachers, and the point of contact for community members who don't know who to ask. They are here to help you, so if you have questions about WHC or issues that need to get sored out, please do not be afraid to contact them.
  
When you see an empty operation sheet, it means we've hauled materials out (or otherwise disbursed it via the trade post) and are in the process of doing payouts.  You can expect payment relatively soon at this point; however, there can be short delays depending on the schedules of the people who handle WHC finances.<br>

While this should lower the threshold to apply for some, you should also be aware that life in a wormhole is diverse and your choices will either enable or disable your participation in the different activities. As an example, you can join with a T2 Shield Tank, but more or less ALL ratting groups are armor repped. Guardian Logi pilots are highly appreciated, but if you don't want to fly a Logi, then you don't have to. Some of the popular threads make it sound like everything evolves around Strategic Cruisers, T2 Armor Logi and Cov Ops, but you will find that almost ANY ship has some use in wormhole life.
 
  
To participate in the most common activities you need an armor tanked BC with any kind of weapons + a scanning frigate. This will get you started and will let you get a grasp of what is going on and what to focus your training for.

What is the Wormhole Community?

The Wormhole Community is one of the four recognized communities of EVE University, dedicated to teaching students about wormhole life through immersion. It was born in late November 2012 and relocated in March 2024 on EVE University's 20th birthday. WHC is currently based out of a C4 wormhole with a C2 and a C3 static.

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.

Location: J105433 (Anoik.is)

In-Game Chat Channel: Wormhole (Eve Uni)

Contact Us

For questions, information, or assistance regarding WHC, please contact a Wormhole Community Coordinator. On Discord, they can be reached by pinging @Community Officer - WHC.

For EVE University diplomatic matters, please contact the Diplomacy Directorate. On Discord, they can be reached by pinging @Diplomat.

For general questions about wormholes or WHC, EVE University members can also join the #whc-public channel in Discord.

Joining WHC

Requirements

In order to join the Wormhole Community, you must have the Freshman title and meet certain skill point requirements. Broadly, we require two things:

  • You are able to use a 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.
  • You are able to fly at least one damage and logistics ship from our core PvP doctrines: AAF and SBC. Wormhole groups like WHC tend to live and die together. We want everyone in WHC to be able to participate from the minute they step foot into the our home hole.

Don't worry about trying to figure these out yourself. Instead, WHC provides a corporate skill plan that contains the bare minimum skills needed to meet these requirements. If you train it, you're set. The entire plan is under a month of training time for even a zero-day-old character. You can find it by searching for it in-game in the EVE University corporate skill plans or by copying the URL link below into the in-game notepad and clicking it.

Applying to WHC

We use EVE University's Alliance Auth system for applications. Once you have your Freshman title and met the skill requirements above, you can use the WHC tool here:

Apply to WHC:
WHC Application (Alliance Auth)

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

Our goal is to make getting started as easy as possible. To achieve this, WHC runs a number of programs designed to let new players hit the ground running without worrying about preparations. Moving in is just three steps:

  1. Jump into a scanning ship with a Covert Ops cloak.
  2. Join our voice comms and the WHC standing fleet.
  3. Open up Pathfinder to find a route in. Any WHC member will be happy to help you find the closest way in if you're unfamiliar.

That's it. You're home!

The most common question new players ask when they join is "which ships should I bring?" Our answer is J.B.Y.S.: Just Bring Your Scanner.

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. So we ensure that standard PvP doctrine ships are always available on contract in our home station for below-Jita prices and PvE loaner ships for running sites, harvesting gas clouds, or mining asteroids as well as rolling ships are available in the general hangar for anyone to borrow. Once you get a sense for what activities you want to pursue and what your goals are, then you can worry about buying new ships and getting them in. Until then, WHC has you covered.

Community Rules and Etiquette

Because members tend to interact and rely on each other more than other parts of the University, WHC has some of its own conventions and rules. While most of the community etiquette is easy to pick up as you interact with other players, our policies are covered in detail in its own page for your reference. New members are not expected to know everything, but many policies are important for day-to-day operations.

Learn about Community Etiquette:
Wormhole Community Etiquette

Alt Characters

Alternate characters are widespread and useful in wormhole space, and players are welcome to bring them to WHC. Alts receive docking rights to all structures and access to our shared bookmarks folder. The requirements are simple:

  • A player must have a main character accepted to WHC.
  • Alts must be a member of a corporation in either the Ivy League or the Ivy League Alt Alliance.

Alts do NOT need to meet the WHC entry requirements, and there is no limit on the number a player may have, within reason (WHC Community Coordinators hold final judgement on this). Alts may be either Omega or Alpha accounts.

Use the same WHC Application (Alliance Auth) to apply with an alt. The process works just like a normal application.


Life at WHC

Unlike most other areas of space in EVE, the shifting connections between wormholes mean that the content available to you is always different and highly unpredictable. This requires a certain mindset: only when you log in will you find out whether there is PvP conflict afoot, PvE opportunities nearby, or just the vast unknown waiting to be charted. Staying flexible and being willing to adapt to the current environment around our home is key to succeeding and enjoying wormhole life.

Scanning

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

Wormholes are a hotbed of PvP activity, and PvP fights are considered a priority by most wormhole groups, including WHC. This mentality and the desire to seek out fights with other corps leads to a common culture across wormhole space. While nearly all pilots you will run into are bloodthirsty, most are also interested in fighting because it's fun. It's not unusual to have cordial discussion with an opponent, sometimes even leading to changes in the ships that a side is flying to ensure that the fight is more even---and thus more fun. On the flipside, wormhole groups that avoid conflict or are solely interested in ISK-making are generally shunned and often find themselves on the wrong end of an eviction. Wormhole space also has a reputation for smaller scale (but sometimes more expensive) fights. Fleet battles do happen, but most engagements that you will participate in are between 5 and 30 players. This means that your choices matter, and WHC members tend to rapidly gain a lot of first-hand experience fighting (and dying!) in PvP.

PvE

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.

Combat Sites

WHC's C3 static is an efficient source of ISK. We use a fleet doctrine called Harvester to ensure new players and vets alike have access to the most common source of ISK-making in wormhole space.

Gas and Ore

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.

Hacking

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 superior ghost sites can occasionally drop items worth billions of ISK.

Industry

WHC offers a variety of industrial opportunities, including some that are unique to wormhole space.

Planetary Industry

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.

Structures

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

Structures at WHC
Name Type Services Rigs
Vicennial Hall Fortizar Clone Bay N/A
The Crucible Athanor Moon drill, Hybrid Reactions, Composite Reactions Hybrid Reaction ME I, Composite Reaction ME I

WHC Labs Raitaru Manufacturing, Invention, Research Structure ME I, Advanced Component ME I, Equipment Manufacturing ME I
Utopia Planitia Raitaru Manufacturing Advanced Small Ship ME I, Basic Medium Ship ME I, Basic Large Ship ME I


Services

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

The hybrid polymer outputs of WHC's Gas Upgrade Program are available weekly for sale to members looking to focus on T3 manufacturing at a discounted price.

WHC Culture

Living in wormhole space is demanding and requires a curious combination of self-reliance and cooperation. WHC is a close-knit community where individuals have a lot of freedom to create and guide group content and where communication and teamwork are central to our lifestyle. This unique blend has led to a strong sense of identity and culture, not unlike that of the larger wormhole community in EVE. When you arrive, you become one of us and a part of both those identities.

  • Comradery

WHC operates as a single, cohesive group, whether that means forming an attack fleet to hunt down an enemy, sharing tricks for efficient scouting, or hauling a ship in for a new member. We live and die by the strength of our allies, and empowering them forges a stronger group. These bonds often last well beyond our time in the University, and it is not uncommon to meet, fight, or learn from former Unistas in J-space.

  • Boldness

Wormhole life instills a strong sense of self-motivation and risk-taking. You never know what is lurking in the next system, and nearly every activity requires someone to take a risk to make it happen. WHC members are willing to make things happen, whether it's leading a harvester fleet for the first time, ambushing a stronger enemy target, or just flying something outside of their comfort zone. This mentality is rewarded by patience and understanding from the community: we encourage members to stretch themselves knowing that they will make mistakes. That's how we learn to be better.

  • Willingness to Act

The Wormhole Community is an icon of EVE University. It historically has some of the best pilots the Uni has to offer, it is one of the most active subgroups, and its members are well-respected. This perception has been earned through years of heeding the call of action, but it is ultimately built upon the same foundation of cooperation and teamwork. When the Uni needs combat pilots for stratops, you will find WHC pilots flying key roles; when the Uni needs experienced teachers, you will find WHC members preparing material; and when the Uni needs leadership, you will find WHC members in staff roles, keeping the lights on.

PvP Doctrines

EVE University maintains a full list of all its combat doctrines in Alliance Auth. WHC relies heavily on three in particular:

The WHC entrance requirements enable all pilots to fly the first two. KSG has a much broader range of ships and tends to be a more personal choice. Members are encouraged to try out various fits and find what they like.

Home Defense

J-space is lawless and does not offer Asset Safety, which means you and your belongings are always at risk. The responsibility of any wormhole denizen, of course, is to defend their home, and WHC is no exception. Briefly, our broad strategy for home defense is three-fold:

  1. Be Ready to Fight: WHC has a home defense doctrine, and all WHC members are eventually expected to train into and own a home defense ship.
  2. Pack Light and Share: The best way to avoid losing something is never to have it in the first place. Only bring what you need and take advantage of communal resources.
  3. Safeguard Your Assets: If the worst case comes to pass, ensure that your belongings don't end up floating in space.
