In EVE Online if a corporation is part of an [[alliance]] then all wars are declared either on or for the alliance. A corporation in an alliance cannot act alone as far as war declarations are concerned. For the purposes of this article, for simplicity, we will refer to "corporations" being at war, but if that corporation is in an alliance you should substitute "corporation" for "alliance".

In EVE Online war is declared by one corporation and can be done without the corporations's agreement. The aggressing corporation pays [[ISK]] to CONCORD to declare war. Each war declaration lasts for seven days, but can be renewed by the aggressing corporation making another payment, which can be done automatically. Aggressing corporations do not directly gain ISK from being at war, but they may take any [[loot]] that drops from any ships they destroy, to mitigate the cost of declaring war. Normally it is not about ISK at all, though.

Other corporations can opt to join in the war on the side of the defending corporation. This enables them to fight the aggressing corporation under the same conditions as a war declaration. The war can be ended either when the seven day timer expires and the war is not renewed by the aggressing corporation, or by either corporation sending a formal "surrender offer" of ISK and the other corporation accepting.

Although EVE University's private channels are password protected, this password is readily available to all current and former members. So these channels should not be considered 'secure' even if you need a password to join. You may rarely even see war targets or their alts in the channels. If you notice someone behaving inappropriately in any of our channels, contact one of the [[Chat Channels and Mailing Lists|channel moderators]]. Never give out the channel passwords to anyone. Refer them to either the Corp Bulletins or [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23156 this forum post] (if they cannot view either, they should not have the password).

We have a special chat channel for sharing intel on movements of war targets, called LiveIntel.ILN. The message of the day in that channel explains how to use the channel, so make sure you read it thoroughly before posting. There is also an intel map which you can use to mark the current position of war targets easily. Read the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=86375 Instructions for posting to the Intel Map].

You should assume that any information sent to [[Chat Channels and Mailing Lists|mailing lists]] or posted on our forum is in the hands of our war targets. For this reason you should be careful not to mention the current location of any EVE University fits in these, or anywhere aside from in the Fleet chat channel or the Fleet mumble. Pilots should also avoid joining mumble channels of active fleets unless they are on the fleet in question, to reduce the risk of information about the fleet leaking to our war targets.
