Today at 13:00 Eve Standard Time TRUST opened its first Outpost in the EC-P8R system. The platform had been constructed in Jita and tugged to Torrinos in the last week. Sunday early morning it was brought to EC and work started. Within some hours our industrial fleet delivered the materials needed for completion. For operational security we had hired G alliance forces to provide safety from pirates.

Short after 10:00 the automated construction sequence of the platform was started. It was supposed to be finished at 12:00, but then failure struck. For a yet not entirely determined reason the construction process stopped, and it was not finished. Our engineers immediatly went to work to find the problem. They uncovered some fatal software design flaws in the platform. A caldari staff scientist pointed out that part of the software design simply is faulty, probably the product of some inapt gallente programmers. The designers of the Gallente Outpost design were contacted and work to fix the problem frantically started.

Yesterday the problem was believed to be solved, and again short before noon the final assembly routines were started. Again failure struck, the software was faulty yet again. Our technicians had to work another full day to weed out the code that was responsible for the malfunctions.

Finally, the problem was solved, and the construction process restarted. At 13:00 on January 10th it was fully asembled and went operational.

The office Outpost was christened Viribus Unitis (with united forces) and put into operation right after all work was finished.

The Outpost is open for all public. Further we will publically auction off 10 offices in the outpost. Details for these auctions will be made public in another announcement in the appropriate channels. The Outposts main purpose is to serve as a base for our industrial POS operations and as our public front.

Additionally TRUST will provide Clone Jump Services for Corporations in need of a Jump Location near empire. E-C being only one jump from Torrinos should be perfectly suitable for many.

Along with our policy of neutrality everybody will be granted docking rights. The only exception will be corporations who actively become hostile towards us. That however is solely their decision. We aim to deal with everybody, all we ask of others is to accept just that. Due to a few entities taking a hostile stance towards us (no active wars, but they simply shoot whats not blue to them) we had to set some to a negative standing, as protective measure for our pilots. Any such misunderstandings can however be solved by contacting one of our officials.

TRUST will foremost only defend its own interests. If other parties are hostile towards each other we do not wish to be involved and consider that their agenda. We can not guarantee total safety in a public system, everybody should acknowledge that. Yet we do ask the community not to bring your battles to our doorstep. We do believe that "Viribus Unitis" can be beneficial to all of us, even to you.
