Hope this helps..
òAn upkeep bill is issued to the corporation which anchored the TCU during the onlining period. If this bill has not been paid when the TCU is due to go online, it will instantly go offline and sovereignty will not be claimed. The TCU will have to be onlined again and the bill promptly paid in order for sovereignty to take hold.
Upkeep System
Alliances must pay upkeep in order to maintain their sovereignty claim over a system. Each system is on a distinct 14 day long billing cycle, and the upkeep bill must be paid in advance; if a bill is not paid for a system in time, sovereignty is lost (TCU goes offline) as soon as the current billing period ends. It is therefore recommended that corporations which have online TCUs in systems (and are thus responsible for paying the upkeep bill on behalf of their alliance) set sovereignty bills to be paid automatically.
The first upkeep bill is paid during the onlining sequence for the TCU; if this bill is not paid, the TCU will go offline as soon as it finishes the onlining sequence.
The ISK amount to be paid for each system is dependent on the amount of strategic infrastructure, which has been established in the system; military and industrial upgrades do not affect the upkeep bill. A breakdown of the amount of ISK added to the bill by each strategic upgrade can be seen in the table below:
Upkeep Cost
Structure ISK cost per day ISK cost per billing period ISK cost per 30 days
Territorial Control Unit 6,000,000 ISK 84,000,000 ISK 180,000,000 ISK
Infrastructure Upgrades
Supercapital Construction Facilities 1,000,000 ISK 14,000,000 ISK 30,000,000 ISK
Cynosural Navigation 2,000,000 ISK 28,000,000 ISK 60,000,000 ISK
Advanced Logistics Network 10,000,000 ISK 140,000,000 ISK 300,000,000 ISK
Cynosural Suppression 20,000,000 ISK 280,000,000 ISK 600,000,000 ISK
Facts about the Upkeep System:
òCorporations are billed for the strategic upgrades, which are installed in a system, regardless of their activity status. This means that if an Industrial Hub goes offline for some reason, the corporation responsible for paying the bill will still be billed for all of the strategic upgrades installed in it.
òWhen a strategic upgrade is installed in an Industrial Hub, ISK will be deducted from the master division of the corporations wallet to cover the upkeep cost for the remaining days of the current ongoing billing period.
òIf an alliance loses sovereignty over a system due to the upkeep bill going unpaid (or for any reason for that matter), all Starbase (POS) structures within the system which require strategic upgrades will go offline.
