~~==What is~~ a ~~TCU?==~~

'''Territorial Claim Units''' or '''TCU'''s are essentially flags put up by an [[alliance]]. Whoever owns the TCU in a system will be listed on the [[Star Map|starmap]] as the owner of the system.

TCUs do have one tangible benefit, though, by way of a 25% reduction in fuel consumption to any [[player-owned starbase]] owned by the same alliance in that system.

TCUs are deployed near planets and can be destroyed or secured by using an [[Entosis Link]].

==Deploying a TCU==

To set up a TCU for an alliance, you must meet the following criteria:

~~To set up a TCU for your alliance, you must meet the following criteria:~~

* You must be in a player corporation which is in the alliance.

* You must have the skill {{sk|Anchoring}} trained to at least Level I (''needs re-verification, possibly removed with corp roles''{{Verify}})

* You must be in a player corporation which is in an alliance.

* You must have the skill {{sk|Anchoring}} trained to at least Level I (''needs re-verification, possibly removed with corp roles'')

* You must have a target system that is in [[System_Security#Claimable_NullSec|sovereign nullsec]] (not NPC-controlled) that does not currently have a TCU deployed.

* You must be near a planet. You can be as close as 350km from the planet or as far as the warp-in distance plus another 1,000km.

You can right click the TCU in your cargo hold, use the radial menu, or simply drag-and-drop it into space to deploy it. The TCU may appear far away, as it's programmed to center itself on the nearest available grid, avoiding any overlap with other structures or ships. When first deployed a TCU is owned by the NPC Secure Commerce Commission. You'll have to capture it through an Entosis Link to actually claim ownership.

==Capturing ~~a TCU~~==

== Capturing ==

Once a TCU is in space, it is visible on the overview of every pilot in the system. Anyone with an Entosis Link who is a member of a player alliance can attempt to capture the TCU during its [[Vulnerability|Vulnerability Window]].
