The first week of May saw some major fighting happen across the New Eden Cluster:
In the south, The Kadeshi [THOR] and DARKNESS. [DARK.] are recovering from the CFC invasion, while conflict between Providence and Northern Coalition. [NC] continues to escalate.
In the south-east, TEST Alliance Please Ignore [TEST] continues its expansion in Wicked Creek, with the help of Pandemic Legion.
In the north, the Vanguard Coalition and Geminate Coalition still battle over the Drone Lands, with Nulli Secunda [S2N] joining the fray but suffering major setbacks due to Pandemic Legion’s intervention. In Venal, Circle-Of-Two [CO2] continues its campaign against local residents, taking over moons and trying to camp stations, however with some notable failures.
In the West, HERO Coalition still battles Fountain Core and Black Legion. [MEN] over control of the region, as the CFC continues its withdrawal, though not without some major hiccups.

In total, the start of May gives a somewhat encouraging view of the state of Null Security space, as the upcoming changes to Sovereignty mechanics have caused many entities to renounce vast swaths of space, giving place for newer and older alliances to resurface and gain a foothold on the map. This in turn has given rise to more violent conflicts, as alliances and coalitions battle over systems. With trillions of ISK and thousands of ships lost in just the first week and a half of the month, one may wonder just how high the death toll will be for the month May.
