'''Faction warfare''' (often abbreviated as '''FW''') is a game mechanic whereby you can sign up to fight for one of the four empire factions (against its enemy faction) for control over certain areas of [[low-sec]] space. It was first introduced in the [[Expansions#Empyrean Age|Empyrean Age]] expansion (2008) to offer players a stepping-stone into PvP (player-vs-player) gameplay.

In 2022, the [[Expansions#Uprising|Uprising]] expansion made sweeping changes across many Faction Warfare mechanics.

Faction warfare is primarily centered around two [[#War zones|war zones]] (areas of low-sec contested by two empires): the Amarr-Minmatar war zone and the Caldari-Gallente war zone, which each are located on the border of the two respective empires. In these war zones, players who participate in Factional Warfare attempt to [[#Capturing systems|conquer star systems]] for their empire, and are rewarded with [[#Rewards|loyalty points]] and increased [[#Standings and ranks|faction standings]] for their efforts. Additionally, as players who participate in Factional Warfare are effectively at war with two of the four empire factions in the game, they can therefore attack (and be attacked by) players fighting for the enemy factions anywhere in New Eden, as well as fight the enemy NPC faction navies (who patrol the [[high-sec]] star systems belonging to their faction).
