EVE Online Launches Cradle of War to Channel Player Actions Into Factional Wars

This expansion introduces Military Campaigns plus onboarding tools with a dashboard so combat and non-combat players create visible, lasting outcomes across New Eden.

Overview

  • Cradle of War is live as the first chapter of the Theatres of War trilogy and sets a new, structured framework for empire conflict in EVE Online.
  • The Military Campaigns system aggregates individual player actions into faction-level goals that can change infrastructure and stargate connections across New Eden.
  • Exordium Starter Space is a PvP-free onboarding region that lets new pilots learn, meet mentors, and complete starter-friendly campaign objectives before entering open conflict.
  • The expansion adds eight new ships: four Tech II Command Carriers for capital-scale fleet support and four Navy Destroyers aimed at faster, lower-cost roles in PvE, PvP, and Factional Warfare.
  • New tracking and social tools — the Theatres of War Dashboard plus Titles and Achievements — and the Visions of Greatness Epic Arc give players clearer progress, reputation, and narrative hooks as CCP rolls out further campaign content.
