Cover feature: 'Empires Strike Back'

The Cold War is about to heat up as the blood-nations of EVE jostle for power against the expanding ambition of the outer alliances. Will you return to your roots and fight for your kin, or remain astride the frontier regions picking up trade as the military build-up increases.
