Cobalt Edge With the exploration of New Eden's border regions progresses, an increasing number of people are directing their attention to Cobalt Edge. Capsuleers refer to it as the Far Sub-galaxy because it is one of the eight far regions awaiting exploration. Unstable Wormhole The recently discovered wormholes are distributed in Cobalt Edge and the low-sec space of New Eden, which let capsuleers can steer their ships through wormholes to jump, much like a stargate. New Enemy Forces--Wasteseeker Appear in the far borders of New Eden and is the collective term for the drone faction. These drones, ranging in size from frigates and battleships to even supercarriers, constantly patrol, scavenge, and salvage ship wrecks in space to build their own bodies. They are called 'Wasteseeker'. New Game Content In order to better cope with distant warfare, researchers have introduced more flexible combat capabilities of the Navy Issue Frigates. At the same time, the Concord opened the territory to expand new corporation tech, and developed an integrated technology suitable for drones! Pilots, get ready for battle!
