Capsuleers,
The machinery of democracy is in motion as the Gallente Federation chooses its new president. Now is your chance to shape the future of the Federation and earn handsomely while doing so.
Until 16 April, you can take on challenges to support your candidate, be rewarded for your accomplishments, and influence the outcome of the election. The points you earn for completing seasonal challenges directly influence the election results.
Gallente ships gain system-wide buffs across Gallente space throughout the event.
The final week escalates the event with some surprises.
The presidential candidates are:
Soraya Roden of the Progressive Party champions stronger corporate freedoms, privatized robotics development, and a more assertive military posture.
Lucas Tenzin, an independent candidate advocating federal unity, human advancement, diplomacy, and stronger support for disadvantaged citizens.
Alix Moreau of the Autonomist Party, promoting radical democratic reform, greater local autonomy, and unrestricted scientific exploration.
As you take on exciting challenges during the presidential campaign period, you also choose which of these candidates gets awarded your support. At the end of the event, the candidate who earns the most capsuleer support wins.
