This project is the most ambitious project ISS have undertaken to date. We
wish to bring life to a region: Providence.
The mission of the ISS is to develop space (unclaimed by alliances) and make
it accessible to a greater part of Eve's population. True to this vision, we
will build two complementary outposts in the region. The twin outposts will
provide a home, a trade hub, manufacturing and a general meeting point for all
the inhabitants of the region.
Since the beginning of Eve, Providence have been a 'bastard' region. There are no NPC stations in the region and experienced 0.0 pilots scoff at it because they think the ore is poor. However they often overlook the regions rich moon raws and it has always been favored by a large number of pilots. The reason for this is that it is close to empire space, and perhaps because it presents challenges which younger pilots find fitting to their skill levels.
Read the complete business plan here or see an investment example.
The outpost will be built and controlled by a separate corporation controlled
by ISS, called 'ISS Providence'. Shares in ISS Providence are offered for sale
to all pilots in Eve. Share price is 20m ISK per share, minimum 10 share buy,
total 3500 shares.
It is planned the twin outposts will be finished by 1st May 2006.
Buying Shares
Share will be sold in two phases. The time-scales are short due to popularity
and successs of previous ISS Outpost investment resturns.
All times are Eve-time.
