Pain knows no bounds when it comes to the fortunes and desires of Capsuleers across New Eden. Following disruption by a mysterious and highly contagious pathogen spreading throughout New Eden, a low-level leak from the inner circle of the Amarr holy government outlines the halting of Stargate Construction projects, including a highly anticipated Low-security gate to Stain. The memo notes the closure of numerous Amarr mega-infrastucture development corporations—primarily responsible for the highly complex process of constructing Stargates—during the current pandemic being the culprit.
A spokesperson from the Amarr Interstellar Infrastructure Development responding to the ensuing outrage by seven Capsuleers on social media, reported that all plans for future Stargate expansion and deployment projects have been placed on indefinite hold until the pandemic can be brought under control.
The fabled “Silk Road to Stain” has been on the radar of many highly connected Capsuleers—who have been stretching their influence in the Amarr Government for some time—as a means of bypassing the currently over policed chokepoints into the region.
Humanitarian organizations noted that the billions of lives currently lost to the pandemic seem to barely slow down the cut-throat and blood thirsty Capsuleer campaigns for whatever sand castles need to be knocked down at the moment. In a strange turn of events, CODE was praised for their valiant policing of high trafficked routes between major commerce points. The beleaguered faction police forces have struggled to actively police and scan all ships passing through these systems and CODE had to step in for the benefit of mankind.
