The drone regions of space were added to the EVE universe in November | The drone regions of space were added to the EVE universe in November 2006. At some point subsequent to leaving Geminate, until about April 2007, EVE University held space in the drone regions (S-R9J2), while remaining headquartered in Korsiki. In April 2007, Invictus attacked, and eventually forced Ivy League out of null sec again and we retreated to Korsiki. By the end of 2006, there was a precursor to the ship replacement plan, though it only covered frigates and destroyers. | ||
{{co|cyan|<big>'''War with the Privateers - January 2007 to April 2007'''</big>}}<br /> | |||
Back in Korsiki, the first of the wars with the Privateers started. In January 2007 TGRADS rejoined Ivy League, and around the same time the Privateers alliance declared was on Ivy League, one of 50 war decs they had at the time. According to Privateers they were acting as mercenaries. Speculation at the time was that the hiring body was Multiversal Enterprises, Inc. The Privateers attacked the Ivy League home system of Korsiki in March and April 2007. This lead to a large battle with Invictus on 23rd April 2007. | |||

On 3rd April 2012 Ivy League established a new corporation called Ivy League Hall of Residence for alts of EVE University members. The catalyst behind the change was changes to the mechanics behind war declarations, which linked the cost of declaring war to the number of members in the alliance being war decced (so adding alts to Ivy League made it more expensive for people to declare war on it). Although the war dec mechanics were later changed again some members found it useful to have an alt within Ivy League, which enabled them to fly in EVE University fleets under the rules of the time, so the Hall of Residence remained open. | On 3rd April 2012 Ivy League established a new corporation called Ivy League Hall of Residence for alts of EVE University members.
