=== Empire ===

Empire space is the name given to the regions which the major factions have sovereignty for. This is further split into High Security space and Low Security space, along with security levels providing further gradation.

Empire space is the name given to the regions which the major NPC factions have sovereignty for. This is further split into High Security space and Low Security space, along with security levels providing further gradation.

In empire space, whether high or low security, [[Frigate#Stealth Bombers|stealth bombers]] can't use bombs and players cannot deploy [[Gate Games#Bubbles|bubbles]].

==== LoSec ====

In Low Security space, security level 0.4 to 0.1, [[CONCORD]] will '''not''' react to hostile actions between [[pilot]]s, ~~however~~ any sentry guns around stargates and stations will open fire on the ~~attacker~~.

In Low Security space, security level 0.4 to 0.1, [[CONCORD]] will '''not''' react to hostile actions between [[pilot]]s, but any sentry guns around stargates and stations will open fire on the aggressive party and unprovoked attacks will cause losses of security status.

Regions which are primarily LoSec:

=== NullSec ===

Concord doesn't care what happens in nullsec and there are no gate or station guns and no security status losses for unprovoked attacks. In nullsec the gloves are off: [[Frigate#Stealth Bombers|stealth bombers]] can use bombs and players can deploy [[Gate Games#Bubbles|bubbles]]; players frequently fly under not-blue-shoot-it ('NBSI') rules of engagement, though the University [[Ivy League Policies#Rules of Engagement|does not]].

* '''Syndicate''', ''claimed by Intaki Syndicate''

* '''Venal''', ''claimed by Guristas''

University pilots are allowed to enter Curse, the Great Wildlands, Syndicate and Outer Ring. Unfortunately Stain and Venal cannot be accessed without trespassing on other players' sovereign space (see below).

==== Claimable NullSec ====

In the rest of nullsec sovereignty is claimed (or contested!) by capsuleer alliances. Any stations in claimable nullsec will be player-owned and will usually only allow their owners' allies to dock. University pilots are not allowed to enter claimable nullsec, as this would break our commitment to neutrality.

A regularly-updated map of player-owned territory is available [http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/Verite/influence.png here].

== W-space ==

Wormhole space, ~~aka~~ W-space is the name given to systems only accessible through [[Wormholes]]. ~~these~~ systems are not interconnected through stargates, and no stations are available in them. On top of this, wormholes also contain 'anomalies' which adjust various statistics on your ship.

Wormhole space, or W-space is the name given to systems only accessible through [[Wormholes|wormholes]]. These systems are not interconnected through stargates, and no stations are available in them. On top of this, wormholes can also contain 'anomalies' which adjust various statistics on your ship.

In terms of security mechanics, w-space is similar to nullsec: Concord does not monitor what happens in wormhole pockets, and players can use bombs and bubbles at will.
