So as a Minmatar FW enthusiast. I find it a rather difficult choice between these two factions. On the one hand I could choose the Bloor Raiders, but I’m not a pirate, or some fanatical blood cultist. On the other hand, nor would I want to join up with some Amarr religious sect since as those slavers say “As a culture, Amarr adheres to the basic tenet that what others call slavery is in fact only one step on an indentured person’s spiritual path toward fully embracing the Amarr faith.” as taken from [https://universe.eveonline.com/lore/amarr](https://universe.eveonline.com/lore/amarr) Could we get another choice? ---

Well you can do the new sites, they are helping out Upwell. (Selecting the side is just which reward track usually, this year the rewards are the same though) ---

You won’t be _helping_ either side, you just pick the side which you want to destroy and the other side will pay you for it. In your case I’d choose to destroy Amarr sites to progress the Blood Raider track. Enemy of my enemy is my (temporary) friend. It’s not like you need to join the blood raiders to participate in the event, you just have to kill the other faction and blood raiders will reward you. The blood raiders will still attack you on sight if you encounter them in space, so you don’t have to worry about joining them or becoming a pirate if you choose their track. You’re just a mercenary who likes killing Amarr and now for some weeks gets paid extra for it. Sounds good? ---
