The Enlightened
A 100% Player-Driven Faction
Not an alliance. Not an RP corp.
A living player faction.
What Is The Enlightened?
The Enlightened is a fully player-created faction, inspired by the structure of the four empire factions (Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, Minmatar) — but entirely player-driven.
We operate with:
- Our own developing lore & identity
- Player-created institutions, jobs, politics, and conflict
- A shared vision of building something larger than a single corp or alliance
This faction is being written in real time by the actions of its members.
Lore & Roleplay (Light, Optional, Encouraged)
Yes — this project is lore-based and lightly RP-inspired.
- The faction’s story is written by me using official EVE lore as a foundation
- Members can participate in:
- Character development
- Political roles
- Criminal, military, or civilian identities
Important:
You are not required to roleplay.
However, playing along — even lightly — helps make the faction feel alive, and is strongly encouraged.

The goal is to build a functioning capsuleer society, not just a PvP or ISK machine.
