Moved the communities part up to the first section and put a header to redirect anyone to the uni-community specific page right away so as not to give the wrong impression on skill-requirements that normal public communities have. |

| valign="middle" style="padding:5px;" | This is a page about '''Incursions''' in general. If you are looking to join the [[EVE University Incursion Community]] then follow that link, as we have additional roles that do not require any specific skills (which are perfect for new players) and we do things slightly different from public communities to both accommodate for new player and the fact we're almost always at war. | |||

Incursions are automated events introduced with the '''Incursion''' expansion in which the NPC faction known as the [[Sansha's Nation]], led by '''Sansha Kuvakei''', invade space in an attempt to conquer it for themselves. Capsuleers must fight off Sansha's forces in order to return the contested space back into an area which can be more safely occupied. | Incursions are automated events introduced with the '''Incursion''' expansion in which the NPC faction known as the [[Sansha's Nation]], led by '''Sansha Kuvakei''', invade space in an attempt to conquer it for themselves.

Incursions are nomadic by nature with a single focus lasting anywhere from a day up to over a week, forcing the incursion community to constantly move in order to continue taking part of the content. See [[#Spawn mechanics of Incursions|Spawn mechanics of Incursions]] below for more information on the spawn mechanics, or the [[How to find Incursions]] for more information on how to find them and safely move between incursions. | Incursions are nomadic by nature with a single focus lasting anywhere from a day up to over a week, forcing the incursion community to constantly move in order to continue taking part of the content.

==== Communities ==== | |||
Since joining the same corporation or alliance would leave you wide open for war declarations, incursion runners remain in their corporations and alliances and instead affiliate themselves with various communities. Most communities operate in the same way: They have a public channel that anyone can join with all the information a pilot might need being available in their channel's message of the day. Fits are usually available through mailing lists or some other way that is readily available. | |||
EVE University maintains an active Incursion Community of current unistas, alumni and their alts. This community is one of the oldest Incursion communities in EVE Online and is one of the only communities to run under an almost constant state of war. This near constant state of war along with our primary focus of teaching has lead to slightly different operating procedures compared to other communities. We also have roles that do not require any specific skills, that other communities simply don't need or want. See the [[EVE University Incursion Community]] page for more information. | |||

Sometimes it's a tactical decision in order to spawn a new incursion for the weekend. Other times they just try to beat the crowd and do it just before it enters the {{co|crimson|withdrawing}} stage. Sadly, sometimes they finish the mothership site several days in advance for various personal reasons, often contributed to petty things like hurt egos and lost competitions. | Sometimes it's a tactical decision in order to spawn a new incursion for the weekend.
