EDENCOM faction logo.

The Eden Common Defense Initiative or EDENCOM for short, is a new faction introduced in the 3rd chapter of the “Invasion” expansion (May 2020). They are found throughout New Eden space and are primarily tasked with defending Empire space against invasion by the Triglavian Collective.

EDENCOM

EDENCOM is the New Eden Common Defense Initiative, a semi-autonomous military command set up by CONCORD and the "Big 4" core empires to aggressively prosecute the war against the Triglavian Collective's invasion forces in YC122. With access to massive financial resources from the New Eden Defense Fund, EDENCOM organizes the fortification of threatened systems and the defense of New Eden by fleets and troops drawn from CONCORD and the empires.

They are a subsidiary of the AEGIS and are headquartered in Yulai.

Ingame EDENCOM ships patrol EDENCOM systems. They can also be found roaming in Pochven.
