This is a soloing event for anyone who wants to do it, but targeting mostly [[EVE University]] members.

Line 7:

* You will be guided around all regions of New Eden, discover wonderful sights, but also face deadly enemies.

* Your progress will be tracked throughout the Epic Arc. As an E-UNI member, you are expected to ~~add~~ a screenshot showing UI elements which give your location, your name and the actual subject of the photo in the comments section of the mission description. This will be regarded as the proof that you accomplished the mission. If you accomplished all missions in a chapter, you proceed to the next chapter. If you accomplished all missions in a book, you proceed to the next book.

* Your progress will be tracked throughout the Epic Arc. As an E-UNI member, you are expected to link a screenshot showing UI elements which give your location, your name and the actual subject of the photo in the comments section of the mission description. This will be regarded as the proof that you accomplished the mission. If you accomplished all missions in a chapter, you proceed to the next chapter. If you accomplished all missions in a book, you proceed to the next book.

* There will be small rewards for completing each chapter, bigger rewards for completing a book, and a huge reward with an award for completion of the entire Epic Arc. The awards will be handed out during the yearly EVE University Anniversary Celebrations, where the Award Ceremonies will take place.

Line 17:

* '''Area:''' You will travel to all areas, from Highsec to Nullsec, even Deadspace and Wormhole Space... and Sovereignity Space as well.

* '''Communications:''' We recommend subscribing to the mailing list, and keeping an on the Wiki. Feel free to ask in the forum, the mailing list or the Wiki for help if you need assistance. Some content will be really hard to finish for the first person who does it, but knowledge can be shared.

* '''Web Browser:''' It is recommended to open the mission pages in an out-of-game browser. S'''ome missions include videos, which won't be displayed in the in-game browser.'''

== The Videos ==

~~Not all, but many mission briefings contain embedded videos. Those won't work with the Ingame browser, so we recommend an out-of-game browser with Flash support for full immersion.~~

Sadly, CCP does not offer an API to integrate player-generated mission content directly into the game. So we have to do all the tracking and progression things offline, which means it is a bit of manual work included, both for you and the guys "behind the curtains".

The best idea we had so far, is that '''you make a screenshot and either ~~post~~ it on the wiki, or send us a link to it via the mailing list.'''

For tracking your progress, we rely on your fairness. Later on in the Epic Arc, the difficulty of the missions will increase significantly, and the rewards will become very interesting. As a consequence, people might be tempted to cheat. After all, this is EVE, right? This makes rock solid proof necessary.
