On 24 Jul 2012, Project Solitude was announced by E-Uni CEO Kelduum Revaan. The announcement can be found here. The Project Solitude E-Uni Headquarters is located at Oerse VI - Moon 10 - Quafe Company Retail Center. Ingame chat channel at Solitude.E-Uni. Mumble channel dedicated to Project Solitude as well.

What is Project Solitude?

Project Solitude is an E-Uni effort to establish a presence and a trade hub in the Solitude Region of New Eden. Surrounded by LowSec, the Solitude Pocket contains 17 linked HighSec systems:

Oerse (Home System), Lour, Maire, Octanneve, Yvaeroure, Vecodie, Arasare, Yvelet (LowSec Connection System), Lazer (Rumored to be full of sharks!), Stoure (Dead End System), Boystin (LowSec Connection System), Larryn, Niballe (Start of 4 system dead end pipe], Postouvin, Odinesyn, Gererique (Dead End System), Wearoix (LowSec Connection System) (Only way to 3 LowSec system dead end pocket).

Advantages of being in Solitude

The main advantage is the confined nature of the area, so enemies of war ("WTs") have a harder time to get here. While no where in New Eden is completely safe, there are far fewer WT here. The confined nature also makes it easier for us to organize awareness of the current position if a WT makes it here. So watch next to the usual Liveintel.ILN also Solitude.E-UNI. Think of it like a meerkat manor constantly on the watch.

Prices on the Solitude market are higher than at the trade hubs in the empire. However, this also means you can sell your stuff a bit higher and is a trade opportunity if you means to get stuff here. For explorers the systems are also not as picked clean as the Aldrat pocket uses to be.

Finally you get a full load of pioneer spirit!

You help the project by being here!

Getting to Solitude

In the near future we hope to have volunteers dedicated to helping get you and your stuff into the Solitude Pocket. In the meantime, you can get here by:

Pod Express
If you don't have any implants in your current clone, and your new medical clones are fairly cheap, you can take "the pod express". Simply change your medical clone location to one of the stations in Oerse, and then self destruct your pod. It may be a good idea to get a jump clone in the empire first. After you wake up in Solitude, simply buy a new ship here.
Via Low-Sec
This is a long route via Arida, from Bherdasopt (hisec) through Gonditsa, Otakod, Agaullores and Yveve to Yvelet (hisec). The biggest risk of this particular path is a persistent gatecamp just off Bherdasopt gate in Gonditsa. If you are taking this route to reach Solitude — or to get back out towards Aldrat again — you may want to contact the University's Low-Sec Camp in order to check if the gate is clear. The LSC is based not far from Gonditsa, and so generally keeps eyes on that area.
There is a real-time live feed of the Gondista gate setup by an E-Uni member. It provides information on the gate in 15 second intervals. You can find the live feed cam here: http://alternateaccess.ca/uni/gonditsa.html
Via Null-Sec
There are two possible routes available, both of which go through Syndicate and are considerably shorter than the above Low-Sec route.
Route 1: Stacmon (Placid): This route goes from Stacmon (0.6) via two Low-Sec systems (Ostingele and Harroule) and enters Syndicate at MHC-R3. It then carries on via 6E-578, ZVN5-H, 8-JYPM, M2-CF1, 97X-CH, Y9G-KS and enters Solitude in the Low-Sec system of Pertnineere and into the High-Sec pocket in Boystin.
Route 2: Chesiette (Verge Vendor): This route goes from Chesiette (0.6) via the Low-Sec system of Reblier and enters Syndicate at 6-CZ49. It then carries on via PVH8-0, JH-2MW and M2-CF1 where it follows the remainder of the route to Oerse as mentioned above.
Note that the jump between M2-CF1 and 97X-CH is a bottleneck. Quite often, the gate in M2-CF1 has a few small bubbles, although it is not always camped. The Syndicate entry system 6-CZ49 has also always between 1 to 4 bubbles. Again, this gate is not always camped.
Please visit the Solitude.E-Uni channel before travelling through Syndicate. The above mentioned routes are frequently being travelled by people already based in Solitude and some valuable intel might be available.
Via a Wormhole
There is an active scanning program within the pocket and hisec-to-hisec wormholes are found on a regular basis. Both ends of the wormhole are bookmarked and placed in the Project Solitude folder of the corporate bookmarks. This means members can use those via corp bookmarks to move assets/trade etc into the region without having to go through losec/nullsec. This is a great way to get valuable ships and cargo into the pocket with minimal risk.
Via courier
Black Frog or other couriers move assets in and out of the area, although this can be quite costly. Black Frog, for example, charges 100,000,000 ISK to move up to 320,000 m3 from Aldrat to Oerse. You can't move yourself this way! See the Black Frog site.
Via Jump Freighter or carrier
This is an option if you have them, but they should be out of corp. If things get popular, we may jump things in/out ourselves.

Scanning

Scanning is a great way to contribute to the success of Project Solitude. We are currently working on organizing this effort and need a volunteer to lead and organize the effort to meet the goal set for Scanning. We aim to scan all 17 HighSec Systems multiple times a day. There is a Google doc that lists who scanned what system last; please ask your fellow explorers in Solitude.E-UNI for a link.

Logistics

More details to follow. We need to establish a logistics train to move materials back and forth to HiSec. We want to do this in an organized manner, we are just not setup to organize it yet.

HDF/QRF

Fleet Commanders needed. A LSC fleet joined by a Solitude HDF/QRF would be glorious.

Corporate Hanger

Please feel free to contribute to the corporate hangers in Oerse. At present the hangers are not being stocked by the E-Uni Logistics Department so please remember to take only what you need.

Mining

We need more miners in the pocket. Industrialist can help by setting up mineral buy orders, which will encourage the miners to mine, and bring more minerals for to the industrialist, who can them build more ships and modules.

The Amarr Mining Camp now has a satalite office established in Solitude. While the AMC has a solid OpSec plan for the AMC HQ area, the operational security needs of the Solitude Office are still in discussion and thus not listed here at this time. For time being, just ask any of the AMC organizers in AMC Chat or Mumble.

Industry

There is a forum thread outlining the most requested modules. The market is short on ships...particularly the more popular hulls. There is a noteworthy lack of competition in the Pocket right now with many items selling out as fast as they are put on the market. Lot of ISK to be made.

BYOM/PYOS

Not Yet! Having an active and vibrant BYOM/PYOS program will be a sure sign that Solitude is a sustainable place to live.

Recruitment

Actively recruiting Unistas to come join us in Solitude!

Education/Events

Classes that do not have a practical are not impacted by residing in Sol. The goal is to get teachers give at least some of there practicals in Solitude. Solitude pilots can help by signing up for classes and specifically requesting practicals in Solitude. We are going to need a sense of how many pilots want to participate in particular classes/events. Eventually, we want to request classes to be conducted in Solitude.

Ship Replacement Program

Still in Aldrat so far, some future day maybe in Oerse.

Skillbooks

NPC seeded Skillbooks in Solitude can be bought at the Federal Navy Academy in Elore (Elore VI – Moon 4). Note that Elore is a Low-Sec system (0.2) two jumps outside the main High-Sec pocket.

An Insta-Dock and Insta-Undock bookmark are available for this station in the Project Solitude bookmarks folder. Both should be clearly marked. More information is available in the bookmark notes. To view the notes, right-click the bookmarks and select Edit/View Location.

When picking up skillbooks in Elore, it is highly recommended to travel to the station in a shuttle and inject the new skill(s) before undocking.
