Not a whole hell of allot. the system in question is a 0.4 system called Crielere. Everyone is poised around this big ring orbiting planet I which probably has no significance to the news event posted. There have been several shuttles destroyed, a couple poddings, but for the most part nothing much going on. Everyone is just trying to claim, "the big ring that does nothing" for their own.
I wouldn't suggest warping in with a battleship or anything unless you plan on killing everyone in the area. Concord does not seem to be attacking ship attackers or podders unless you warp to a gate.. Of course if you warp to a gate while in the area someone's ship was destroyed or podded you will be attacked by Concord as well.
Just some FYI info :)

Looks like the beginning of a jump gate to me

For some reason the image makes me think it's a device for space wedding ceremonies. Pairs of players can fly through the ring each in their respective ship and get insta-married this way.... :s
Alternatively could be the warp gate to Jove space *shrugs*

Looks like any other ring debris I've seen while exploring. Don't see why that particular one would be special. There are plenty of these rings through-out the galaxy, but you already know that i'm sure.

well now it's getting a little more interesting. X-Factor corp showed up with 4 Megathron battleships which was a sight to see. Definately proves that battleships will soon be as common as cruisers. :)

I'm sure when I examined the ring structure it was called a "Caldari / Gallente platform" or something like that - suggests that it's the foundations for a new construction of some sort ?

In BETA, when they gave away 10 stations to player corps to try out, they started with 'platforms' and built up from there.

my theory:
since this is a station construction platform (according to the name of this junk ring), a station is bound to be constructed there..
recall this from the news:
"Military forces from both sides are gathering in the constellation and freighters carrying heavy loads of construction material have been ordered over there. "
DUH, indies with ore.. going to a station CONSTRUCTION PLATFORM
it doesnt take a GENIUS to see that a station is going to be built there.. and yes this looks like the structure for one of those 3-ring stations in gallente space
perhaps after this station is constructed, we will be able to dock and buy our own platform bp's from it? seems like a good waste of time to me, the other possibility is that the devs want a massive free for all battle with the station going to the winnner, in which case those with less than 5 battleships stand no chance :\

lol! That would be funny as hell if everyone got together to blow it up before it was finished. How is that for player cooperation?

well then the question that needs to be aske,d is does this 'platform' have a circular or square targetting box... circular - u can kill it, square as yet u cant......
could it not be a gate construction rather than a station? as in... the caldari/gallente open a gate to jovo space.. the jovos ain't at all happy, and come in blazing... thus war.

What is funny is the fact that there are lots of rings like that all over the systems around the EVE universe.
But if a GM came in and said something about it... well, it makes things more interesting.

Before you die you see the ring...
Thank you for the nice screenie of our little fleet, nails :-)
What amused me about this thing was the people aggressively guarding it, shooting people getting too close to the spacedonut, threatening people to keep their distance or else...
That's why I called in some BS to see just how far they wanna go to guard.... nothing.
No, really. There is probably nothing to claim, there isn't going to be a station and even if there is going to be a station, it's not going to magically pop up in 1-2 hours either.
Maybe it's a cruel ploy of CCP to see how we react to this sort of thing as a psychological test.
My guess is this all will most likely erupt in a free-for-all king of the hill contest when this event goes to the next phase and things become more clear as to what it is going to be :)
Edit:
Oh we also came to see if there were any notorious pirates to kill, unfortunately all candidates left the scene shortly after our arrival :-)

Nebulai keep telling everyone things like:
q: "so someone here to claim it?"
a: "I wouldn't say claim .. per say"
"but those here will have an advantage .. i would think"
q: "can we take advantage of it later?"
a: "yep"
"But possibly not to the extent that those who here when it happens will be able to .."

We hadn't intended to give the game away just yet.. but as the secret is now out:
This is actually our latest Drive-Thru Burger Bar.
We had to make it this big to allow Titans to pass through easily.
Paint job will start in a couple of hours!

heh, everyone started attacking the thing for about 10 mins straight.. that was with about 20+ ships. of course there is no damage status, and concord didn't warp in and own everyone. (would have been funny though).
