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 (in-game channel 'Consortium Operations') are a public group of xenological researchers. Their more core members are consistently active on the Roleplay forums, gathering and reporting information on the Drifters and the Triglavian Collective.

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~~.

During the [[Triglavian Invasion]], ARC hosted [[EDENCOM]]-friendly public fleets, using heavy armor to run Major Conduits and Observatory Flashpoints during Chapter 2, and using a variety of fleet compositions to engage Emerging Conduits and various Triglavian infrastructure during Chapter 3. With the end of the Invasion, and the creation of [[Pochven]], ARC began hosting "Dual-Standings" fleets in Pochven, entering and exiting via Filament, and hunting Drifters and Rogue Drones to gain positive standings with both the Triglavian Collective and EDENCOM. At present, ARC's dual-standings fleets are based on [[Muninn]]s. Due to the unpredictable nature of Filaments, dual-standings fleets are not drop-in/drop-out, and pilots must be in the fleet from when it forms to when it disbands.

Prior to the Triglavian Invasion, ARC 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 periodically, using mainly [[Confessor]]s.
