Registration and Logging In

Location is: https://euni.evewspace.com/. Registration Code is in the WHC.E-uni welcome mail.

  • Mass Status: Normal (not yet significantly disrupted), Fist shrink (stability reduced), critical (verge of collapse)
  • Type: WH id (eg K162) in the pre-existing system
  • Type: WH id in the new system

(Note that one of the type fields will always be K162)

Signatures
