= During War: =

During war, [[EVE University]] and Ivy League uses a strict set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), typically referred to as the "War SOP".

These are part of a carefully crafted war doctrine, based on years of experience in EVE, that is intended to bring the war to a quick close by denying the war's entertainment or profit value to the enemy, and by frustrating or even boring the enemy at every chance we get, while still meeting the University's educational goals by teaching students how to fight wars. To that end, the SOP is intended to:

* Deny the enemy easy kills of helpless non-combat ships.

* Deny the enemy easy kills of poorly-fitted ships.

* Deny the enemy any kills of high-value ships that will look good on his killboard.

* Deny the enemy any chance to banter or smack talk with us.

* Ensure that the enemy's only contact with EVE University is losing his ships to our overwhelming war fleets.

= During War =

The Default SOP applies to all members when the [[DEFCON]] level listed in the [[EVE University Channels and Mailing Lists|Chat.E-UNI]] channel is set as DEFCON 1. While this is typically during wartime, it may also be applied during peacetime if required.

=== ...leave E-UNI until the war ends ===

If you want to, you may [[So, You Want to Leave for the War?|leave the Uni until the war ends]] without any penalties. You will retain access to the vast majority of forum content, channels, classes, the Wiki and even Mumble, and will be fast-tracked when returning.

=== During Relaxed SOP Only ===

The "Relaxed SOP" is a modification to the Default SOP which allows E-UNI members to engage in limited [[PvE]] activity without dropping from the corporation. [[EVE University Management|Management]] will notify E-UNI members when Relaxed SOP is in effect via the Message of the Day [[Chat Channels and Mailing Lists|Chat.E-UNI]] and an EVE-mail to the alliance.

# Missioning (agent missions) may be run in a fleet of at least three E-UNI members.

# All fleet members must be together on the same grid (i.e. in the same mission space)

# All ships must be fitted for [[PvP]] combat, and be ready to engage a hostile target.

# Courier/mining/non-combat missions are still prohibited and must be performed using an out-of-corp alt.

# Should wartargets enter the system, you must dock immediately.

# Ratting, Complexes, Exploration sites are still prohibited in [[Classifications of Space|k-space]].

# '''All''' other rules remain in place as listed in the [[#Default SOP|Default SOP]].

= Lockdowns =

Lockdowns may be called by ILN ranks Captain and up, managers in dire need, and Directors.

* Lockdowns mean any NON-fleet activity is no longer allowed and all pilots MUST be docked unless in a combat fleet and ordered to be undocked by their FC.

* Once the wartargets are gone, the lockdown should be lifted by the one calling it or another who may call one.

* The only people allowed in space during a lockdown are combat fleets hunting the wartargets in system.

* If there is a lockdown in an area, you may not travel into or out of the lockdown area, except via clone jump.

= Violations =

In the event of a violation of the above restrictions, ILN personnel are to follow the process below, leading to destruction of a members ship and pod if they do not respond.

If at any time the subject 'wakes up', then must be ordered to dock immediately, or if the subject refuses to cooperate, or a war-target appears on-grid, then the personnel are authorised to skip straight to destruction of the subjects ship or pod.

# Try to convo, evemail and get their attention via alliance and corp chat.

# Fire a single warning shot.

# Wait 30 seconds.

# Warp scram and web target, fire second shot.

# Wait 30 seconds.

# Destroy ship.

# Collect loot, vaporize or salvage the wreck immediately and place the remains on contract to the subject.

# Repeat with Pod if needed.

This may seem harsh, but denying the war-targets kills of the 'easy targets' they expect has shown to end the war significantly quicker than normal, and there can be no excuse for not knowing the rules.

= Clarifications =

Below are expanded and clarified elements of the [[EVE University Rules|EVE University Rules]] and SOP. It is also suggested that members check the [[Do's and Don'ts During War]] article for tips and explanations as to why the rules are as they are.

= Communications =

# Remember that no communication channels are ever 100% secure, so ensure that all information on targets or fleet composition is limited to Corp and Alliance channels. Remember to mention the formation of the fleet in the private [[Chat Channels and Mailing Lists|Chat.E-UNI]] channel for any members who are logged in on alts.

# It is important that all members ensure they do not discuss the war anywhere other than the private [[Chat Channels and Mailing Lists|E-UNI channels]] and [http://forum.eveuniversity.org forums]. This rule includes any alts and those who have left E-UNI for the duration of the war and expect to return.

# Fleet Commanders are authorized to say "GF" (good fight) in local after combat, or to answer questions from neutrals regarding the fleet. That is all.

# Actions or behavior that damage the morale of E-UNI is not permitted. If you do not like the restrictions, then you may leave for the duration of the war and still retain access to the majority of resources. Repeated issues may end up with a director doing this for you, and may adversely affect your ability to return.

= Requests for Clarification =

All requests for clarification must be made directly to the [[director]]s. If in doubt, avoid the element which is unclear until clarified.

= Further Reading =

* [[Wartime Checklist]]

* [[Dos and Don'ts During War]]

= Explanations =

For new players, its not immediately obvious why the rules are as they are. Below are some explanations to some of the more common questions.
