Classifications of Space

There are a number of classifications of space in Eve, listed below for reference.

Known Space

Known space, also known as 'K-space' and 'normal space', is the classification of space which includes Empire and NullSec, both separately split into different classifications. Any solar system that has at least one Stargate is part of known space.

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.

HiSec

High Security space, security level 1.0 to 0.5, CONCORD will react to hostile actions between pilots, with the response time ranging from almost instant in 1.0 space to up to 10 seconds in 0.5 space.

Regions which are primarily HiSec:

• The Citadel
• Derelik
• Devoid
• Domain
• Essence
• Everyshore
• The Forge
• Heimatar
• Kador
• Kor-Azor
• Lonetrek
• Metropolis
• Sinq Laison
• Tash-Murkon
• Verge Vendor

LoSec

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

Regions which are primarily LoSec:

• Arida
• Black Rise
• The Bleak Lands
• Genesis
• Khanid
• Molden Heath
• Placid
• Solitude

NullSec

NPC NullSec

NPC NullSec is null-security space where the sovereignty is claimed by NPC factions, similar to normal 'Empire' space, therefore cannot be claimed by capsuleer alliances.

Regions classified as NPC NullSec:

• Curse, claimed by Angel Cartel
• Great Wildlands, claimed by Thukker Tribe
• Outer Ring, claimed by Outer Ring Excavations
• Stain, claimed by Sansha's Nation
• Syndicate, claimed by Intaki Syndicate
• Venal, claimed by Guristas

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.
