The Mission Statement of the Open House Project is to provide a space and support for pilots interested in learning the fundamentals of wormhole life. The C2 wormhole with HS/C1 statics had served this purpose for two and a half months however with the growth of the project members of the university were becoming increasingly frustrated with our dependence on random roaming connections to provide content. Therefore 8 days ago the decision was made to begin the search for a suitable c4 wormhole that met the following criteria
1. C2 and C5 static connections to ensure we will always have access to content.
2. Decent planets to allow members to set up extraction PI.
3. Empty of hostiles so as to comply with E-Uni Structure rules.
To locate this wormhole members scanned the chain to a depth of 10 or more searching for such a wormhole over the course of a week and yesterday Shintu Felper located a wormhole that met all of these requirements.
Within 6 hours of this news we had moved all of the material and ships required into a high sec connection and anchored a small POS to facilitate the taking of hole control and anchoring of the first citadel. Within two hours of this Shintu Felper, Xivik Skord, Derby Dank, Vladimir Antonovich were inside the wormhole in a variety of ships prepared to take hole control for the next 24 hours.
The ships utilized for this purpose were rolling 5 Megathrons and 2 Gnosis. After the Citadel passed its first vulnerability timer we set up shifts to ensure at any given point in the process someone would be on the lookout for new sigs or hostile ships.
This was a team effort where every member of the operation filled key roles but I want to give special thanks to Shintu for finding the wormhole and Derby for acting as our scout and coming back 40 jumps through null sec after getting killed in addition to maintaining sig watch and maintaining hole control as an alpha pilot.
