Shadow of the Serpent is an event introduced with patch 118.6 and introduces a new campaign against the rising threat of the Serpentis organization. With the recent revelation of Serpentis Capital ships, CONCORD and the Empires see the organization as much more of a threat. The Scope act as a broker for capsuleers to find opportunities to contribute to the campaign.

This is to be the first in a sequence of events.

The current event started at 11PM on 29th June 2016 and will run for 40 days (11PM on 8th August 2016).
