Incursions are were added to EVE Online on January 18, 2011 and went live January 25, 2011. Incursions are automated events in which the NPC faction known as the Sansha's Nation invade space in an attempt to conquer it for themselves. Capsuleers must fight off the Sansha NPC in order to return the contested space back into an area which can more safely occupied.

Incursions are generally considered a PvE feature but are also designed to encourage PvP. Incursions differ from previous PvE content in many ways, the most notable is their difficulty and their effects on the local space in which they take place.

Locating an Incursion

Incursions can take place anywhere in Known Space (read: not in Wormhole Space). There are several ways to locate Incursions within EVE including the use of your journal or through the in-game map.

Using the Journal

  • Open the journal neo-com
  • Select the Incursions tab from the first row of tabs
  • Select the locations tab from the second row of tabs

You can now sort the Incursions by the name of the constellation that they take place in, how many jumps away they are, and several other parameters.

Using the journal to locate an Incursion to participate in provides several advantages over using the map.

Using the in-game Map

Please note: This feature does not seem to be working at the time of writing.
  • Open the map by either pressing the map button on the neo-com or by pressing F10.
  • In the map preferences window display and then stars
  • Finally select Incursions
