About the ILN
The Ivy League Navy (ILN) is a coalition of members in Eve University who agree to stay in the Uni for a minimum of three months to protect it from aggressive forces. While it is not a formally organized group, the ILN is lead by Admiral Silentbrick(Military Director), Vice Admirals Ubercado (Military Director/Line Officer) and Kyrlin DiShai (Intel Director), Rear Admiral Smurfprime (Battlegroup Coordinator) and the rest of the ILN Officers.
During war, Eve University switches to the control of the ILN Officers. Wartime rules and procedures are more strict then those during peacetime. With the exception of the ILN Officers on the Board of Directors, ILN Officers do not have direct control over students, but requests from ILN Officers during war should be treated the same as a director. ILN Officers of rank Captain and above (and designated Intel agents) may initiate lockdowns.
The ILN's goal is to defend the Uni and to assist pilots interested in PvP. The ILN has no required training programs. Upon joining the ILN, Uni members gain access to a new forum in which a list of recommended assignments and operations are posted, to help new members select a direction to train in.
In wartime or peacetime, while the ILN Officers often lead fleets, any member of the Uni may create and take out a fleet.
Purpose
The Purpose of the Ivy League Navy is two fold. First, it is to protect and defend the Ivy League Alliance against any and all attackers. Second it is to help PVP oriented students develop training plans and skills that will assist them in learning PVP at various levels from small gang up to larger fleet operations. It is also hoped that this will extended the dwell time of pilots in Ivy, to allow us to field a more experienced navy against our foes. The Navy will hold fundraising activities and provide a means for practice engagement as well as ILN anti-piracy operations. It is NOT a group just to get additional, constant PVP. ILN members are expected to be willing to help take leadership in regards to starting and conducting fundraising activities as well as PVP oriented activities within Ivy policy and Rules of Engagement. ILN members are held to a higher standard of behavior than regular Ivy personnel.
