On 16th August, 2020, Niara became targeted by the [[Triglavian Invasion]], and on 18th August, the system fell to the invaders and became first lowsec, then nullsec, with all gates in the system heavily camped by both Triglavian sympathizers and large groups of Triglavian NPC ships. This effectively cut the Jita-Amarr highway, making the route deadly to any ship not able to either enter warp in under two seconds, or exploit a cloaking device to align and warp safely. This also made every map of the trade routes and topology wrong, an issue which is still being incrementally corrected. | On 16th August, 2020, Niara became targeted by the [[Triglavian Invasion]], and on 18th August, the system fell to the invaders and became first lowsec, then nullsec, with all gates in the system heavily camped by both Triglavian sympathizers and large groups of Triglavian NPC ships.

With the removal of Niarja from the galactic map, there is now no direct connection '''''at all''''' between Caldari space and Amarr space. | ||
As a result of the fall of Niarja, the safest route between Jita and Amarr is now 44 jumps, in a path stretching all the way around the ring through Minmatar and Gallente space. Fortunately for non-Triglavian sympathizers, when the Bei system was invaded in the week after Niarja, the invaders were repelled and the system became an EDENCOM Minor Victory. (Had Bei fallen, hisec would have been effectively cut in half, with an Amarr-Minmatar half, a Caldari-Gallente half, and no safe routes connecting the two.) | As a result of the fall of Niarja, the safest route between Jita and Amarr is now 44 jumps, in a path stretching all the way around the ring through Minmatar and Gallente space.
