1420:Exordium Expedition

Exordium
Set each system in the TripTik as a waypoint, then choose Autopilot options to establish a route for your expedition.
Entry into Exordium remains restricted to the CONCORD gate in Yulai; all access passes through this single point. Once inside, Exordium can be navigated using standard inter-system travel via conventional stargate routes

TripTik158 Expedition Highlights

Introduction

Visit the new capsuleer starting region and conduct a field survey of its space and stations, capturing a record of where every pilot’s story first takes shape.

Locations

• Exordium

Overview: Exordium Region

Established in YC128 through a joint initiative of CONCORD and the four major empires, and administered by AIR Laboratories, Exordium is a high-security region dedicated to the earliest days of a capsuleer's career.

The Exordium Accords formalize this arrangement, establishing Exordium as a jointly administered training region for newly licensed capsuleers. Under the Accords, the region is designated as neutral space, with each empire maintaining an embassy constellation while oversight is shared between CONCORD and AIR Laboratories.

To provide a focused learning environment, access to the region is intentionally limited through a single stargate in the CONCORD system of Yulai, within the Sanctum constellation of Genesis, reducing outside influences while new pilots find their footing.

For many capsuleers, Exordium is where their journey truly begins. Across its nine constellations, new explorers are introduced to the essential skills of navigation, combat, industry, and exploration before departing for the wider reaches of New Eden.

Though sheltered by design, the region serves as the first chapter in what may become a lifetime of discovery among the vast and often unforgiving stars.

Regional Structure

Inside Exordium, nine (9) constellations present themselves to the intrepid explorer.

The Manifest District, along with the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Accord Districts, form the central structure under AIR Laboratories administration.

The four Empires each maintain an embassy constellation:

• Amarr Empire — “Haven”

• Minmatar Republic — “Strokar”

• Caldari State — “The Crucible”

• Gallente Federation — “Federation Free-Zone”

Shipcasters in Exordium

Shipcasters are one-way transit structures that allow capsuleers to be relocated instantly to distant regions of New Eden. Unlike stargates, Shipcaster travel is directional and controlled, serving as designated exit points from Exordium into established empire space.

Within Exordium, each empire maintains access to its wider territory through dedicated Shipcaster installations located within their embassy constellations. These routes terminate in strategically significant regions of empire space, some of which lie in or near areas associated with Factional Warfare and ongoing capsuleer conflict, marking the transition from training space into active political and military space within New Eden.

CONCORD CORE REGION

The Manifest District

Entrance to Exordium is via the impressive CONCORD style stargate in Yulai which will deposit travelers into Manifest.

Once inside you will be placed roughly 2,500 km from Manifest X a pretty Oceanic planet backlit by the stunning nebula of the region. From here explorers may travel to the eight other constellations that make up Exordium There are three stations of interest here in Manifest:

Manifest IV – Moon 5 – Paragon Fulfillment Center.

Manifest V – AIR Laboratories Trade Center.

Pic

Manifest VI – CONCORD Bureau.

Pic

1st Accord District

Made up of six systems — Fortitude, Gallant, Lustre, Mettle, Repute, and Venerate. Of these systems, only Gallant lacks a point of interest.

Fortitude: A quiet system bathed in the glow of a K7 orange star, with only Fortitude III – Poteque Pharmaceuticals Biotech Production Center, a classic Gallente design, available for weary travelers.

Pic

Lustre: Aside from a small G3 (pink) star illuminating the Sisters of EVE Bureau at Lustre VI, little else presents an opportunity for adventure.

Pic

Mettle: A dead-end system attached to Gallant, Mettle does have, hanging above the temperate planet Mettle IV, an AIR Laboratories station, which provides some rest for pilots moving through the 1st Accord District.

Pic

Repute: Yet another system attached to Gallant, Repute IV hosts an AIR Laboratories station.

Pic

Venerate: Venerate VII hosts pilots through the presence of a classic AIR Laboratories station.

Pic

2nd Accord District

Made up of six systems — Adroit, Celerity, Erudite, Forte, Ratiocinate, and Sagacity.

Adroit: Aside from the AIR Laboratories station around Adroit V, little else offers a distraction to a pilot out on a roam.

Pic

Celerity: The gateway system to the Caldari-managed constellation of The Crucible, Celerity is a simple K3-class system, with a Mercantile Club Bureau sitting just off Celerity V – Moon 1.

Pic

Erudite: A single system accessed via Forte, the quiet of Erudite is broken only by an AIR Laboratories station on the dark side of Erudite III, lit by the regional nebula and the planet’s raging storms.

Pic

Forte: A hub system connecting three dead-end systems. CONCORD’s DED section maintains a station at Forte V – Moon 2 (DED Assembly Plant) in an otherwise unremarkable G5 stellar system.

Pic

Ratiocinate: Offering a link to the 1st Accord District’s Lustre system and the 3rd Accord District’s Lenity system, Ratiocinate hosts a Gallente-style station operated by the Inner Circle Bureau above Ratiocinate IX, a temperate planet of note, though little else invites exploration.

Pic

Sagacity: A dead-end system reached via Forte. AIR Laboratories provides services to capsuleers from its station orbiting Sagacity VII.

Pic

3rd Accord District

Made up of six systems — Lenity, Rigor, Solemn, Tenacity, Triumph, and Valiance. Of these, only Triumph lacks points of interest.

Lenity: Floating above Lenity V, the Society for Conscious Thought’s Genolution Biotech Research Center sits open to members of the New Eden community.

Pic

Rigor: Providing entry to the 3rd Accord District from Manifest, Rigor V offers sustenance for travelers at the Native Freshfood Warehouse.

Pic

Solemn: A dead-end system off Triumph, Solemn V holds a single AIR Laboratories station above a nondescript storm planet.

Pic

Tenacity: A cul-de-sac system off Triumph, Tenacity VI holds an AIR Laboratories station.

Pic

Valiance: Solely attached to Triumph, Valiance IV – AIR Laboratories provides the only respite from the emptiness of space in this system.

Pic

4th Accord District

Made up of six systems — Abstention, Chivalric, Couth, Decorum, Equity, and Steadfast. Of these, only Decorum lacks points of interest.

Abstention: This dead-end system hanging off Decorum has Abstention V – AIR Laboratories as its only local point of interest.

Pic

Chivalric: Aside from the searing glare of the B5-class white dwarf, only Chivalric II hosts an AIR Laboratories station.

Pic

Couth: hosts two stations for explorers to investigate. Couth III – Moon 1, has an Inner Zone Shipping Storage station flooded with light from the local nebula’s stellar nurseries.

Pic

Meanwhile, Couth VIII – Moon 4, holds a CONCORD Assembly Plant of Caldari design.

Pic

Equity: Little of interest here aside from Equity V – AIR Laboratories.

Pic

Steadfast: A gateway to and from Manifest, Steadfast hosts a station at Steadfast IV – Moon 1 operated by Nurtura Warehouse. Lit by the local G5 (pink) star, the station floats quietly in the dark.

Pic

EMPIRE EMBASSY CONSTELLATIONS

While administered as part of Exordium, each Empire maintains an embassy constellation reflecting its own institutions, architecture, and administrative presence. Together, these constellations offer distinct regional identities within a unified training region.

THE CRUCIBLE (CALDARI STATE)

State embassy constellation under Caldari administrative control and corporate-aligned capsuleer integration infrastructure.

Made up of 7 systems - Aldoras, Dyka-hau, Hotak, Kita-Aino, Pamirasu, Tatrys, and Urtasvaar Of these Dyka-hau and Urtasvaar have no sites of interest.

Aldoras: hosts the Caldari State’s Science and Trade Institute station orbiting Aldoras VI, presented in the classic Caldari industrial design tradition.

Pic

Hotak: The Caldari State has positioned two stations in Hotak.

The first, located at Hotak III – Moon 1, is the State’s Caldari Navy Logistic Support Station.

Pic

The second is a Deep Core Mining (DCM) station at Hotak IX, backlit by the regional nebula.

Pic

Kita-Aino: The gateway into and out of the Caldari State’s constellation presents a Chief Executive Panel station perched above Kita-Aino V – Moon 8. Several peripheral hangars and structural components encircle the central station.

Pic

Pamirasu: The School of Applied Knowledge hosts new capsuleers in a station above Pamirasu VI. The Storm-class planet below offers little beyond its turbulent atmospheric systems.

Pic

Tatrys: hosts Exordium’s Caldari Shipcaster and two additional stations.

The State Rookie Shipcaster is encircled by peripheral station components similar to those at Kita-Aino. It provides a one-way transfer to Onnamon in the Black Rise region.

Pic

The State Protectorate Logistic Support Station floats roughly 250,000 km from the Shipcaster at Tatrys V – Moon 3.

Pic

Meanwhile, the House of Records Information Center offers administrative respite at Tatrys II.

Pic

FEDERATION FREE-ZONE (GALLENTE FEDERATION)

Federation embassy constellation operating under decentralized administrative oversight and academic–industrial capsuleer development networks

Made up of 7 systems - Axiosere, Ligare, Maso, Mondaekus, Rotonos, Tiberis, and Waison Of these Maso and Waison lack points of interest.

Axiosere: This system holds two stations for Exordium explorers.

Axiosere V – Moon 1 hosts the Federation Navy Logistic Support Station designed in classic Gallente architectural style.

Pic

Meanwhile, the Astral Mining Inc. Mining Outpost hovers above Axiosere VII, appearing rugged and industrial in contrast.

Pic

Ligare V: hosts the University of Caille. Aside from this academic presence, the system contains no further recorded points of interest.

Pic

Mondaekus: The Gallente Federation Shipcaster is located in Mondaekus, providing one-way transit to Intaki in the Placid region.

Pic

Nearby, approximately 350,000 km away, lies the Federal Defence Union Logistic Support Station at Mondaekus IV – Moon 1.

Pic

At Mondaekus VIII, the Federal Intelligence Office Testing Facilities present a structure reminiscent of Sisters of EVE installations observed in Thera.

Pic

Rotonos: hosts a Gallente-style station managed by the Center for Advanced Studies in the shadow of Rotonos IV – Moon 2.

Pic

Tiberis: serves as the primary access system into and out of the Gallente constellation (aside from the local Shipcaster).

A single station is present, managed by the President Bureau above Tiberis VII – Moon 1, heavily augmented by surrounding station infrastructure.

Pic

HAVEN (AMARR EMPIRE)

Imperial embassy constellation under Amarr administrative oversight

Made up of 7 systems - Adaz, Ichorah, Kanta, Mazor, Sakizra, Taikud, and Vaejra Of these only Sakizra and Vaejra lack points of interest.

Adaz: acts as Haven’s entry point linking deeper into the constellation. Adaz V has the honour of being the location of the Emperor Family Bureau. Sandwiched between two asteroids and lightly obscured by its debris field, the station is simple but striking.

Pic

Ichorah: This system, centered on a small K3 yellow star, hosts Haven’s shipcaster and two stations. The Imperial Rookie Shipcaster at Ichorah IV provides a one-way transfer to Mehatoor in the Devoid region. Nearby sits the 24th Imperial Crusade Logistic Support Station, drawing capsuleers toward factional warfare. Ichorah VII – Moon 1 hosts the Ministry of Internal Order Testing Facilities.

Pic

Kanta: holds only the Royal Amarr Institute located at Kanta IV, a massive ice world installation familiar across Amarrian space.

Pic

Mazor: Centering on a B5 white dwarf, Mazor presents the Hedion University station at Mazor V, set against a striking gas giant backdrop.

Pic

Taikud: Connecting all systems within Haven, Taikud appears as an empty crossroads.

Taikud IV hosts the Amarr Navy Logistic Support station.

Pic

Taikud XI – Moon 1 hosts the HZO Refinery Mining Outpost.

Pic

STROKAR (MINMATAR REPUBLIC)

Minmatar embassy constellation under Republic administrative oversight.

Made up of 7 systems - Dettisolin, Dranga, Hofs, Lang, Tindfjalla, Tungna, and Vatna Of these Hofs and Lang lack points of interest.

Dettisolin: Home to the Republic’s Rookie Shipcaster and supporting stations. The structure sits isolated at Dettisolin V, providing a one-way transfer to the Amo system in Metropolis. Dettisolin II hosts a Tribal Liberation Force Logistic Support station, while Dettisolin VII – Moon 2 hosts the Republic Security Services Assembly Plant.

Pic

Dranga III: hosts the Republic University campus, positioned between a dust ring and a nearby lava planet.

Pic

Tindfjalla IV: hosts the Minmatar Mining Corporation Outpost, while Tindfjalla V hosts a Republic Fleet Logistic Support station.

Pic

Tungna IV – Moon 1: hosts a classic Minmatar station operated by the Pator Tech School.

Pic

Vatna III: hosts a Republic Parliament Bureau station. Its positioning between asteroid clusters mirrors architectural patterns observed in Amarr Haven systems.
