Proud capsuleers,
Federation Day is here, and the cluster celebrates the founding of the Federated Union of Gallente Prime. With the increased tension between the empires you’ve seen recently, especially with the Cradle of War expansion, this is the perfect time to show your Gallente pride!
In that spirit, a gift* has been left for you in the New Eden Store!
Inside your Gallente-themed crate you’ll find fireworks, SKINR components, a new character background, and 10 free PLEX!
*This gift is available to all of you who played for 12 hours or more between 19 June 2025 and 18 Jun 2026.
While you’re in the NES, you can further honor Federation Day by picking up new stunning Pride of the Federation SKINs, introduced earlier this year, available for individual purchase for a limited time.
Now is the time to complete your collection and stand out in a fight with these SKINs made by T’Amber, featuring special visual effects for kills and warp.
Get these fantastic SKINs until 3 July:
Hull | Price in PLEX |
|---|---|
Talos | 250 |
Hyperion | 390 |
Moros | 695 |
Ninazu | 695 |
Keres | 110 |
Arazu | 250 |
Kronos | 390 |
Hecate | 250 |
Imicus Navy Issue | 110 |
If you truly want to get into the spirit of the Federation, you can choose from a multitude of Gallente ships to fly, and the NES is now offering a new Gallente Pilot Expert System which gives access to 53 skills and unlocks the ability to fly 15 different T1 Gallente sub-capital ships for 7 days.
Gallente ships in EVE Online are renowned for heavy drone specialization and close-range blaster firepower, backed by resilient armor tanking. They excel at delivering massive, consistent damage in both solo combat and small-gang PvP. This is a fantastic way to try these out before committing to the full training queue. The Expert System will remain available in the future, too.
Happy Federation Day!
