[https://vulfpeck.space/ Vulfpeck] is a primarily PvE fleet that operates small fleets of Confessors in C5 and C6 [[Wormhole_space#Wolf_Rayet|Wolf-Rayet]] Wormhole systems, taking advantage of the Wolf-Rayet system effects to take on the highly dangerous sleeper combat sites in ships that, at face value, look much weaker than would be thought necessary. Vulfpeck tends to only run one 4-hour fleet per week, however those fleets can reach 200 million ISK/hr/pilot, using surprisingly inexpensive and low-SP ships.

On rare occasion, due to the dangerous nature of wormhole space, Vulfpeck fleets may engage in PVP as well. Vulfpeck does offer SRP in situations where combat goes south.

ARC (in-game channel 'Consortium Operations') are a public group of 'defenders of humanity'. Their more core members are consistently active on the Roleplay forums, gathering and reporting information on the Drifters and the Triglavian invaders. However, for those interested in more actively defending humanity, ARC hosts public [[Triglavian Invasion]] fleets, taking 8-16 pilots in heavily armored battleships and battlecruisers to take on the Major Conduits and Observatory Flashpoints of Triglavian Invasion systems. Uniquely, ARC Triglavian fleets also offer publicly available ships, which are loaned out to fleet members for the duration of a fleet, so as to make their fleets more freely accessible to newcomers (without forcing them to buy and bring their own battleships). Similar to public [[Incursion]] fleets, ARC Invasion fleets are freely drop-in/drop-out; pilots can join and leave at any time (between sites) while the fleet is active.

ARC previously made a name for themselves as being one of the only organizations in New Eden to host periodic Drifter Hive Fleets, in which groups of ships fly into Drifter-occupied Unidentified Wormholes and attack their inhabitants head-on. These fleets are still held, however their focus has by now shifted more to handling the Triglavian Invasion.
