You will be asked for your limited API key (don't directly send it with the application mail) and given a brief interview. Due to the nature of activity within wormholes, and the need to acclimatize each intake to wormhole life, there is very likely a waiting list of pilots ahead of you. If you successfully complete the interview process, and a position opens, you will begin a 1 month trial period. During this month you will be evaluated to determine if you fit within D6.

Division 6 (or 'D6') was a special, largely covert program within EVE University to explore and reside in wormhole space. The program was set up prior to the release of the Apocrypha expansion in March 2009 by Wolf VanBerg. Pilots of Division 6 lived in class 4 wormhole system J164025 more-or-less continuously. At its height, the group included between 40 and 50 pilots.

During times of war all Division 6 pilots operated under the direct command of Fleet Admiral Silentbrick like the rest of EVE University at the time, with people and ships dispatched to known-space to help in the war effort as needed.

The group also spearheaded, scouted, and in part managed the Dynaverse wormhole POS Siege.

The program disbanded in February 2010, with many members moving on to form the corporation Everset Dropbears [EDROP].

The minimal skills list for D6 entry changed frequently and was an evergreen subject of debate within the group. In the last days of the effort, required skills included:

As well as the now-obsolete skills Energy Emission Systems and Engineers and the skills required to properly fit and fly one race's battlecruisers or battleships.

This list reflects the PvE techniques Division 6 tended to use for Sleeper combat -- remote-repair armor battleship gangs with battlecruisers for point defense.
