== Mission Statement ==


The mission of Project: Solitude is to provide an isolated environment where students require motivation and self-sufficiency to survive, as well as provide easy access to low-sec and null-sec opportunities.  The primary focus is on teaching students to survive without easy access to trade hubs and to live in a secluded high-sec pocket.

===A Brief History===
====The Current Trade Hub====
When the project first started some members already living in the area originally settled on [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Octanneve_III_-_Moon_1_-_Federation_Customs_Logistic_Support Octanneve III – Moon 1 - Federation Customs Logistics Support] as the station of choice for the regional trade hub. However, even at that time [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6] had been the highest volume trade hub in both the Solitude and Syndicate Regions going on several years.
While [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Octanneve Octanneve] is situated centrally for the inhabitants of Solitude's High-Sec Isle, [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Boystin Boystin] is situated one jump from Low-Sec and two jumps from NPC Null space in Syndicate, making it more centrally located for inhabitants of both regions. This difference translated into sales volume causing [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Octanneve_III_-_Moon_1_-_Federation_Customs_Logistic_Support Octanneve] to flounder as a trade hub while [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin] consistently maintained market dominance. In mid 2013 a vote was proposed and The Solitude Project members chose to change the official trade hub to [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6].
====The Current HQ====
The original E-Uni headquarters was located at [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Oerse_VI_-_Moon_10_-_Quafe_Company_Retail_Center Oerse VI - Moon 10 - Quafe Company Retail Center] and had been the HQ up until shortly after choosing to back [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6] as the official trade hub. At that time another vote was held to move the Solitude Project's headquarters to the neighboring station of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_7_-_Sisters_of_EVE_Bureau Boystin V - Moon 7 - Sisters of EVE Bureau] due to the proximity to the trade hub and the convenience of it's medical facilities.
During the process of changing headquarters it came to light that there were no office slots available in the proposed HQ station of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_7_-_Sisters_of_EVE_Bureau Boystin V - 7]. Thus a final poll was held to determine if the Project HQ should stay in [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Oerse_VI_-_Moon_10_-_Quafe_Company_Retail_Center Oerse] or move to [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - 6], the regional Trade Hub.
It was decided on June 1st, 2013 to move the Solitude Project headquarters to the regional trade hub of [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6 - Federal Intelligence Office Assembly Plant].

*This is the [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route/Bherdasopt:Yvelet long route] via Aridia , from Bherdasopt (high-sec) through Gonditsa, Otakod, Agaullores and Yveve to Yvelet (high-sec). The biggest risk of this particular route is a persistent gatecamp of the Bherdasopt gate in Gondista. When planning to take this route, it might be a good idea to scout ahead and check if the area is safe.

==== Regular Mining ====


* The EVE University student organized [[Amarr Mining Campus]], also known as "The AMC", has a satellite office located in Solitude, with many of its organizers and coordinators active in the region. The AMC helps support Unista and Alumni miners with several services: Access to corp hangers for mining supplies, assistance in organizing mining fleets, and with refining ore at no cost. For more information on the locations of these services, join the AMC chat channel "'''Amarr Mining Campus'''" (password: same as standard E-Uni channels) and the AMC mailing list (also "Amarr Mining Campus"). Also, visit the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=233&start=0 Amarr Mining Campus Forum] for additional support.
* Project Solitude has several members who run regular mining fleets with orca boosts. Both shared can and u-haul ops occur. For more information and fleet formation check the Solitude forum and ask in the Solitude.E-Uni chat. Mining loaners are available to campus members and Ventures are available in the Boystin hanger.


* Harner (0.1 / 4 jumps) is a single asteroid belt location with some nice asteroids.  It's generally empty aside from an occasional visit from ratters or explorers.  That said, Sarline (the only way out of the dead end ring) semi-frequently has a pirate (typically solo) guarding the exit.
