Capsuleer Day XIX is a limited time event celebrating EVE Online's 19th birthday, running from 3rd May to 24th May 2022, downtime to downtime. Starting from the 6th of May[1] when taking part in the agency campaign a capsuleer can choose between supporting the DED or the Underworld Smugglers faction, with each featuring their own sites and rewards.
Undergirding this event is a storyline surrounding a galactic drug smuggling operation, with the DED seeking to root out Underground Smuggler hideouts, and the Smugglers seeking aid from capsuleers to fight CONCORD's SARO units.
Login Campaign
Capsuleers must log in for 15 out of the 22 days to collect all rewards. The campaign rewards SKINs, Boosters, and 100.000 Skill Points for Alpha clones with 350.000 additional Skill Points and ships for Omega clones. You can also use fireworks on another capsuleer once per day for 10k Skill Points, for a total of 210,000 if you participate every day.

Agency Campaign
The Agency Campaign for this event is split between running sites for the DED or the Smugglers. Capsuleers can choose which faction they wish to support for the event. This decision only determines for which side you collect points and thus which skins and boosters you get as rewards (see the reward table). You can still run sites for either group though and you don't lose any standings by doing so.
DED
The DED is a longstanding enforcement arm of CONCORD. Like EDENCOM during the Triglavian Invasion, they represent the side of CONCORD and the four Empires that capsuleers can side with in order to thwart drug smuggling operations.

Underworld Smugglers
| “ | Platitudes. Blandishments. Lies.
You of all people know that CONCORD and the Empires have no interest in common with you. They have done nothing for you. They shall do nothing for you. How long will you listen to their empty words? In recent days, as is their pitiful habit, CONCORD has made use of you to advance their own agenda. These "free trade outposts" you have so willingly cleared of my associates have been taken over by CONCORD's worst: The SARO. Perhaps you don't believe me? Check for yourself. I have broadcast the new signatures of those sites to all. Why should you not destroy the SARO bully boys? They have always sought to control you. Do their bidding no more. Open your eyes. Seize your destiny. And, if you would, join me, The Deathless.

Two different types of level III data sites appear: CONCORD Mobile Impound Lot and Smuggler Dead Drop. Sites spawn in all areas of space.
You will receive agency points only from the site opposing your faction of choice but both sites can be completed for loot without penalties.
The sites seem to have mostly drops:
- Datacores
- Decryptors
- Storyline materials
- Smuggler Lockbox (always at least 1x per container)
- Capsuleer Starburst Fireworks
- Capsule Cascade Fireworks
- Drug commodities
- Smuggler noosters (Smuggler Dead Drop)
- DED boosters (CONCORD Mobile Impound Lot and Smuggler Dead Drop)
- Versus Redforce SKINs
- Boobook BPC
Proving grounds
Both events will feature special 19% bonuses to turret and missile damage, ship velocity, sensor strength, and reduce signature radius. There will also be extra buff and debuff objects spread around the play field giving additional 19% bonuses or penalties to any ship that collides with them. Sensor dampeners, weapon disruptors, shield boost amplifiers, shield rechargers, shield power relays, shield flux coils, and core defense field purgers are banned in these proving formats.
Allowed ship types are the Imperial Navy Slicer, Caldari Navy Hookbill, Federation Navy Comet, Republic Fleet Firetail, Crucifier Navy Issue, Griffin Navy Issue, Maulus Navy Issue, and Vigil Fleet Issue. There is a maximum of 1 ship type per team.
Ships entering this proving ground may have a maximum of one local repair module fitted (shield or armor).
During this proving ground event, the Triglavian Cladistic Caches available to the winners of each proving match will contain roughly twice as many Triglavian Survey Data as usual.
Sunesis Free-For-All [20 - 23 May]
Allowed ship type is the Sunesis.
