NEEDLEJACKER'S GUIDE TO NEW EDEN FREEPORTS
DISCLAIMER
This guide was found in the floating rubble of a destroyed Citadel, ironically once a freeport itself. The doomed structure sat somewhere in the Placid region overlooking the gate to Syndicate, but that's not relevant to this tome. Just let it be said that the authors of this guide are unknown and accept no responsibility for lost ships, missing implants, destroyed cargo, ruined standings, sudden declarations of war, mysterious clone and medical bills, involuntary factional realignment, or the discovery that the "freeport" you were heading towards was actually owned by someone who has been waiting twelve hours specifically to shoot you.
Remember:
A freeport is not necessarily free.
It merely means someone else paid for the privilege of putting a large structure in space.
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
New Eden is a large and deeply unreasonable place.
There are empires. There are pirates. There are industrialists. There are religious fanatics. There are people who fly 100 billion ISK ships into high-security space because they are convinced nobody will notice.
They are usually wrong.
The systems below have been selected for their freeports, manufacturing facilities, markets, refineries, clone services, logistical usefulness, historical notoriety, a nice place to store your goods before you have to reclaim them from asset safety, or because somebody apparently decided that putting a structure there was a good idea.
The entries use:
Security — the displayed security status of the system.
Freeport facilities — known basic facilities, some other resources may be available on request.
Why you're here — what makes the system useful.
Historical note — relevant history, geography or local reputation.
Jacker's warning — the information the authors feel you should know immediately before undocking or entering the systems listed.
Current static-system data comes from CCP's SDE, which contains the universe's solar systems, regions, constellations, stargates and related data. The authors do not have or claim to have ownership rights of this data.
THE DEEP END
9WVY-F
Security: -0.8
Region: Dronelands
Classification: Null-sec. Extremely null-sec.
Dronelands Freeport East
Owner: DJ's Retirement Fund
If you have reached 9WVY-F by accident, you have made a navigational error.
If you have reached 9WVY-F deliberately, you have made a lifestyle choice.
The Dronelands are Rogue Drone territory, a region where the principal inhabitants are machines which have developed the admirable biological instinct of wanting to dismantle you. The great irony of the place is that despite being called the Dronelands, there is generally considerably more human screaming than drone screaming.
Jacker's warning:
Local sovereignty, cynos, bubbles and roaming gangs are considerably more important and quite rabid here than CONCORD's opinion, because CONCORD's opinion is approximately:
"We don't work here."
F9-FUV
Security: -0.7
Region: Etherium Reach
ICS Ackaroth We Will Miss You
Owner: DJ's Retirement Fund
Etherium Reach is one of those places where the map starts looking less like a map and more like a warning label.
F9-FUV is deep null-sec territory and consequently operates according to the ancient laws of New Eden:
Somebody owns it.
Somebody else wants it.
Somebody is probably already shooting at somebody.
The person who says "it's quiet here" is about to become content for a killboard.
The structure's name provides a touching memorial note, although exactly how touching it remains after your pod is smartbombed is left to the traveller to decide.
Jacker's warning:
You are not protected by distance. Distance merely gives people more time to notice you.
LXQ2-T
Security: -0.1
Region: Etherium Reach
Dronelands Freeport West
Owner: DJ's Retirement Fund
LXQ2-T sits at a popular tourist entry point into Etherium Reach and has historically changed hands between major null-sec organisations on multiple occasions. Current map data shows the system under Rote Works control, with a sovereignty hub and an active refinery/cloning/industry installation.
This is therefore an excellent example of the central principle of null-sec real estate:
Everything is temporary except the structures somebody forgot to unanchor.
Jacker's warning:
If the local sovereignty map looks complicated, that's because it is. If it looks simple, check again. Check the killboard as some of the outgates are popular spots for camping parties of notorious space pirates and some not so notorious ones.
THE GREAT INDUSTRIAL HIGHWAYS
Aakari
Security: 0.7
Freeport Raitaru — New Eden Freeport Investment Group
Freeport Reprocessing Station — New Eden Freeport Investment Group
Aakari is the sort of place that exists because somebody looked at a perfectly respectable solar system and thought:
"You know what this needs? More industry."
The Raitaru and reprocessing facilities make it useful for pilots who would rather manufacture things than explode them.
This is a recurring theme throughout New Eden.
Airaken
Security: 0.5
Reprocessing
Owner: Tradors'R'us
A 0.5 system is technically high-security space.
This is an important distinction.
It does not mean safe.
It means CONCORD has agreed to arrive eventually.
Airaken therefore occupies that particularly useful band of New Eden real estate where industrialists can operate while haulers can pretend they aren't nervous.
Amamake
Security: 0.4
5 Times Nearly AT Winners
Owner: Oblivion Watch
Police Weapons Facility
Owner: Oblivion Watch
Reactions & Reprocessing
Owner: Oblivion Watch
Ah.
Amamake.
Few names in New Eden require so little introduction.
Amamake is a notorious Minmatar low-sec system in Heimatar and a long-standing centre of faction warfare and PvP. It has served as a major staging area for powerful alliances, including Pandemic Legion, and has repeatedly been fought over by the Amarr and Minmatar militias.
It has also developed a reputation for being one of those systems where the local population regards a ship entering the system as an invitation rather than an inconvenience.
The system's history includes major capital fights, faction warfare campaigns and the sort of violence which makes the phrase "just passing through" sound like a confession.
Jacker's warning:
If you see an unusually large number of combat ships on scan, don't ask why.
You already know why.
Locals are known narcotics and combat booster addicts. Further, flying without a head full of implants and hardwires is seen as extremely strange to the local PvP crowd. Again, best not ask why.
Amo
Security: 0.5
T1 Shipyard
Owner: PJS Holdings
Amo is the headquarters system for the Gallente faction-warfare side of the modern pirate-insurgency landscape and has considerable strategic importance despite its deceptively respectable security rating. Local guides specifically identify Amo as one of the faction-warfare HQ systems.
Which makes a T1 shipyard rather appropriate.
Amo manufactures ships.
People take those ships to war.
The ships explode.
Amo manufactures more ships.
This is what economists call a healthy economy.
Auner
Security: 0.4
Guru Forge
Owner: EVEGuru Foundries
Guru Foundry
Owner: EVEGuru Foundries
Auner is low-sec industry for people who have looked at high-sec industry and thought:
"This would be better if pirates could shoot me."
Autama
Security: 0.8
NESN — Central Manufacturing
Owner: New Eden Structure Network
High-sec manufacturing, which is essentially the art of turning minerals into something significantly more expensive and then transporting it through Uedama.
This is how industry works.
BAT COUNTRY
Avada
Security: 0.7
Freeport
Owner: Lorzsa Corporation
A conventional high-sec freeport with all the advantages that word implies and none of the guarantees you might hope it implies.
Azer
Security: 0.7
IChooseYou Market and Industry
Owner: Tradors'R'us
Another Tradors'R'us outpost in the growing network of independent industrial and market facilities.
The company apparently subscribes to the theory that the best place to conduct commerce is everywhere.
Barira
Security: 0.8
PushX Freeport
Owner: PushX Citadel Holdings
PushX has long been associated with courier logistics, meaning Barira is particularly attractive to people who have bought something in one system and would prefer not to personally transport it through several systems populated by people who own Catalysts.
A revolutionary concept.
Basgerin
Security: 0.4
Kingdom of Heaven
Owner: Oblivion Watch
The Armory
Owner: Oblivion Watch
The Forgery
Owner: Oblivion Watch
Basgerin is low-sec, which makes the name Kingdom of Heaven particularly optimistic.
The system sits within the wider low-sec network around the Gallente/Minmatar conflict zones, where "heaven" generally means a station with a clone bay.
Historical home of the legendary Basgerin Pirates. Best to check they are not actually home when paying a visit.
Botane
Security: 0.9
IChooseYou Market and Industry
Owner: Tradors'R'us
Botane offers something almost unheard of in New Eden:
a place where you can manufacture things without immediately worrying that the manufacturing facility is surrounded by people who want you dead.
Enjoy it.
CIRCUIT OF RUST
Dital
Security: 0.5
FREE RIMMIES 3.0
Owner: Providence Overwatch Committee
The name promises Rifters.
The system promises industrial services.
New Eden promises that both will eventually explode. Disclaimer: We didn't see any Rifters.
Enedore
Security: 0.6
Kelutral
Owner: Pandoran Astral Assets Management Services
"Kelutral" is particularly appropriate in Minmatar cultural terminology, referring to a traditional gathering place associated with the Sebiestor.
So this is effectively a freeport with the name:
"Come round ours."
Eystur
Security: 0.9
Vherokior Market & Development
Owner: Valentine Drone Design
A peaceful-looking Minmatar high-sec system.
This is also where you discover that "peaceful-looking" and "peaceful" are not synonymous in EVE.
Frarn
Security: 0.8
IChooseYou Market and Industry
Owner: Tradors'R'us
Another link in the Tradors'R'us network.
At this stage you may begin to suspect that "IChooseYou" is less a corporate name and more a declaration of intent.
Hek
Security: 0.8
IChooseYou Market and Industry
Owner: Tradors'R'us
Hek is one of the great Minmatar trade centres and a major mission and commerce hub. Hek VIII is home to the Boundless Creation Factory, while the wider system is a familiar destination for pilots operating around Metropolis.
It is also a useful example of how EVE's apparent safety can be deceptive.
Hek is busy.
Busy systems attract valuable cargo.
Valuable cargo attracts gankers.
Gankers attract people who complain about gankers.
Those people attract forum posts.
The cycle is eternal.
FRONTIER LANDS
Huola
Security: 0.4
Bombeldo's Freeport Factory
Owner: Oblivion Watch
Hydra Reactor and Refinery
Owner: Oblivion Watch
Huola is in the Bleak Lands and sits firmly within the Amarr–Minmatar faction-warfare theatre.
It is the sort of system where an industrial facility isn't merely an industrial facility.
It is a strategic asset.
The difference is usually discovered shortly after somebody shoots it.
Ichinumi
Security: 0.9
Unleashed Major
Owner: Unleashed' Fury
Unleashed Minor
Owner: Unleashed' Fury
High-sec industry with names that sound as though they ought to be attached to battlecruisers.
This is probably for the best.
Ignoitton
Security: 0.4
Svarog Invention & Copy Lab
Svarog Production Center
Svarog Reaction & Reprocessing
Owner: Svarog Pioneers
Ignoitton is a proper industrialist's destination. A paradise of sorts. Close to Jita too.
Invention. Copies. Production. Reactions. Reprocessing.
In other words, everything necessary to take a pile of minerals and transform it into a spreadsheet.
Oh. And there might also be pirates and things emerging from cynos.
Let ye be warned!
Ikoskio
Security: 0.3
Svarog Manufacture Platform
Svarog Reaction & Reprocessing
Owner: Svarog Pioneers
The security rating has now dropped to 0.3.
At this point the spreadsheet requires a combat ship.
THE BORDER REALMS
Intaki
Security: 0.6
Prospero
Owner: Tiendala Inc.
Intaki is far more significant than the freeport entry might suggest.
It is the ancestral home of the Intaki people and the political/cultural heart of the Intaki region. The wider Syndicate region grew out of Intaki political and criminal influence and now forms one of New Eden's great NPC-null environments.
For capsuleers, Intaki also represents a major gateway towards Placid and Syndicate.
Which means it represents a gateway towards:
Orvolle.
Which represents a gateway towards:
PF-346.
Which represents a gateway towards:
poor decisions.
Orvolle
Security: 0.7
IChooseYou Market and Industry
Owner: Tradors'R'us
Orvolle is in Placid, in the Beyt constellation, and is a particularly important gateway system.
Current map data lists four stargate connections, including one directly to PF-346, the notorious Syndicate entry point. It also hosts Federation Navy, Federal Administration, Scope and Federal Defense Union facilities.
The system is therefore simultaneously:
high-sec;
Gallente;
busy;
industrial;
strategically important;
and one jump from Syndicate.
Which is rather like putting a nursery next to a bear enclosure and then wondering why the children keep coming home with cuts and bruises, if they come home at all.
The Syndicate chokepoint around Orvolle is well known as a place where gate camps are common. The gate to low-sec Oulley is also a dangerous gatecamp system. Check the map before entering.
Jacker's warning:
Check local before jumping to PF-346 and Oulley.
Then check it again.
Then ask yourself why you are going there.
PF-346
Security: -0.4
PF-346 Freeport 222
Owner: Deliberately Ignoring Common Knowledge
A brief summary of the history of PF-346
PF-346 is one of the most historically lethal and infamous star systems in the EVE Online universe. Located within the Z-6NQ6 constellation of the lawless, NPC-controlled Syndicate null-sec region, it serves as a notorious choke-point entry right next to the high-security Gallente system of Orvolle.
Alongside its neighboring system, it forms the dreaded "FD-MLJ/PF-346 gauntlet," a region famed for brutal ambush tactics that have claimed hundreds of thousands of capsuleer ships over the span of two decades.
The Early Era & The Birth of the Gauntlet (2003–2005): In the earliest days of New Eden, PF-346 and FD-MLJ established a reputation as a literal graveyard for unsuspecting pilots. It was one of the absolute first places where the concept of the permanent "gatecamp" was perfected. CONCORD famously issued warnings to pilots that empire laws did not protect them beyond this point, cementing its cult status as the birthplace of the gatecamp and the frontier edge of known space.
The Age of the Great Alliances (2006–2018): As the game matured, PF-346 became an invaluable strategic asset. Because the Intaki Syndicate region is largely unclaimable NPC null-sec, holding control of its main entry pipe meant controlling the flow of trade, contraband, and logistics between the outer rings and empire space. It regularly saw massive localized fleet engagements, such as the 2006 blockades involving groups like Goonswarm, the Mercenary Coalition and Omerta Syndicate. In 2016, the system was selected as an Astrahus Exemplar Site during the Upwell Consortium's research drive to test the first capsuleer citadels.
The Sheriff Shifts (2019–2025): For a vast stretch of time, the heavy-hitting alliance The Initiative. and their close associate lapdogs, maintained an iron grip over the system's incoming traffic. This dominance was famously broken up during a dramatic turf war when local independent corporations successfully clashed with them to claim the title of the "New Sheriffs" of PF-346. During this turbulent era, various pirate groups have operated in the system.
The Caldari Navy Incursion (2026): In a massive lore shift, the Caldari Navy launched a heavy sovereign offensive into the Syndicate region. Claiming the region as an unincorporated State territory, the offensive forced local Intaki Syndicate authorities to flee. This triggered the Syndicate Breakout event, turning PF-346 into a highly active war corridor as capsuleers intercepted fleeing capital fleets.
----
Keberz
Security: 0.5
FREEPORT MARKET AND CLONES
Owner: Trident Logistics
An important clone-and-market facility in the relative safety of a 0.5 system. This is the sort of thing that makes logistical pilots happy.
It also makes people who enjoy killing logistical pilots happy.
Everyone wins.
The gateway to Catch and the infamous system of HED-GP.
Jacker's warning:
Because it is the primary funnel for traffic entering Catch, the gate leading toward or coming from Keberz is historically swarmed by hostile gatecamps, interdiction bubbles, and rapid-tackle ships waiting to catch haulers and unsuspecting visitors.
As a strategic chokepoint, alliance defenders and roaming pirate groups frequently watch this pipe, using insta-locking setups and smartbombs to destroy pods, exploration frigates, and slow freighters the moment they land.
Korsiki
Security: 0.6
Horizon
Krabworks
Maniac's Anvil
Scholaria Labs
Owner: Ivy League Alliance Holdings
Korsiki is essentially an Ivy League industrial campus.
There are laboratories.
There are workshops.
There are presumably students.
And somewhere nearby is probably an EVE University pilot explaining, at great length, why your ship fit is terrible.
THE GREAT INDUSTRIAL BELT
Lustrevik
Security: 0.9
Port Royal Public Production Hub
Port Royal Regional Trading Hub
Port Royal T2Rig Public Refinery
Owner: Universal Trade Alliance
Lustrevik is a significant Minmatar high-sec system and popular mission hub. EVE University identifies it as one of the principal Minmatar mission locations, alongside Hek and Rens.
It is therefore exactly the sort of place where a public production hub makes sense.
There is money here.
There are missions here.
There are haulers here.
There are people watching the haulers.
You have been warned.
Manarq
Security: 0.8
IChooseYou Market and Industry
Owner: Tradors'R'us
Another waypoint in the ever-expanding IChooseYou network.
At this stage, refusing to use one is beginning to feel like making a political statement.
Disclaimer: This guide is not sponsored by IChooseYou Market and Industry.
Miakie
Security: 0.5
PushX Freeport Mailbox
Owner: PushX Citadel Holdings
The mailbox.
A glorious invention.
A place where packages go so that you don't have to.
Civilisation has peaked.
THE TAMA CORRIDOR
Nourvukaiken
Security: 0.8
Chunkzilla Refinery
FREEPORT CLONES
Kiki's Broomstick Factory
Tama Doorstep Inn
The Castle
The Dockyard
The Funk Factory
The R&D Space Party
Owner: Vic Johnson's bait shop
This may be the greatest concentration of questionable naming in the entire guide.
Nourvukaiken is a major Caldari high-sec system on the route towards Tama and low-sec. It is also a recognised mission hub, with Caldari Navy, State and related activity.
The Tama Doorstep Inn is particularly reassuring.
Because if you are going to Tama, you should probably have somewhere to stay.
You may be staying there for quite some time.
TAMA
Security: 0.3
Svarog Production Center
Svarog Reaction & Reprocessing
Owner: Svarog Engineering
Tama is not a normal low-sec system.
It is one of the most infamous PvP systems in New Eden.
Located in the Citadel's Isoma constellation, Tama sits directly on the Caldari–Gallente warzone and has developed a reputation as a permanent combat corridor. Historical accounts of the system include faction warfare, major capital incidents and some of the most notorious low-sec fighting in EVE.
This makes the Svarog industrial facilities simultaneously useful and absolutely terrifying.
You can manufacture something here.
You can also manufacture something here while somebody is trying to kill you.
Jacker's warning:
If Tama is quiet, something is wrong.
Obanen
Security: 0.6
Trade Market
Owner: Tradors'R'us
A straightforward market facility in a straightforward high-sec system.
There is nothing particularly sinister to report.
This is suspicious.
Oisio
Security: 0.5
LinkNet Central Station
Owner: Strategic Holding — 1st Division
Oisio is another Caldari corridor system, close enough to the Lonetrek/Citadel transport network to make it useful for logistics.
It is also close enough to low-sec to remind you that the universe is large and your ship is not.
PERIMETER: THE JITA GATE
Perimeter
Security: 1.0
Scrapyard
Owner: Ivy League Alliance Holdings
Tranquility Trading Tower
Owner: Tranquility Trading Corporation
Perimeter is effectively Jita's front garden.
It sits immediately outside New Eden's greatest trade hub and is one of the busiest high-sec systems in the cluster. The old Tranquility Trading Tower became one of the most famous player-owned market structures in EVE history.
The original Keepstar was deployed in Perimeter in YC120 and became the centre of a joint commercial arrangement involving several major alliances.
Then, in June 2023, the original TTT was destroyed following CCP's high-sec XL-structure changes and a war declaration by The Initiative. CCP itself recorded the destruction and the subsequent restructuring of the Tranquility Trading Consortium's operations.
The lesson:
Even the largest freeport in New Eden is temporary.
The market, however, is eternal.
And Jita local remains Jita local.
Jacker's warning:
Do not autopilot expensive things through Perimeter.
PLEASURE, PROFIT AND PYROXERES
Piekura
Security: 0.5
Freeport Giant Mini-Mart
Freeport Moon 1
Freeport Moon 2
Freeport Moon 3
Freeport Moon 4
Freeport Prime T2 Refinery
Owner: New Eden Freeport Investment Group
Someone has clearly decided that one freeport was insufficient.
Then two.
Then three.
Then four.
Then somebody built a refinery.
This is how capitalism eventually conquers the galaxy.
Raussinen
Security: 0.5
Freeport 1
Freeport 2
Freeport 3
Freeport 4
Owner: New Eden Freeport Investment Group
Four more.
At this point the sensible conclusion is that New Eden Freeport Investment Group is attempting to colonise the concept of "freeport" itself.
Resbroko
Security: 0.4
Hydra Freeport
Hydra Reactions
Hydra Reprocessing
Owner: Oblivion Watch
Low-sec industrial infrastructure.
The word Hydra is encouraging.
It implies that if you destroy one facility, there will probably be several more.
Shaggoth
Security: 0.7
PushX Freeport
Owner: PushX Citadel Holdings
A respectable logistics stop.
Nothing to see here.
Move along.
Preferably quickly.
THE CALDARI FRONTIER
Sobaseki
Security: 0.8
IChooseYou Market and Industry
Owner: Tradors'R'us
T2 Refinery — 80.92% max yield
Owner: Rapid Reprocessing
Sobaseki is a recognised Caldari mission hub and sits on the wider high-sec network around Jita and Lonetrek.
The 80.92% refinery is particularly noteworthy.
That number is either:
extremely useful,
dependent on skills, rigs and bonuses,
or something someone has put on a structure name specifically to make industrialists fly three jumps to investigate.
Possibly all three.
Sotrentaira
Security: 0.5
Eden Freeport — Forest Heart
Eden Freeport — The Maker
Owner: Eden Freeport Trading Company
Two names with the sort of grandiose ambition usually associated with corporations that have not yet encountered a sufficiently large war declaration.
AMARR AND THE EMPIRE
Tanoo
Security: 0.9
Riamkhan Olemth Vashaifit
Owner: Aeterni Fideles
Tebu Amkhiman
Owner: Societas Imperialis Sceptri Coronaeque
Tanoo lies in Derelik, in the San Matar constellation.
The system's high-security rating makes it comparatively civilised by New Eden standards, although "civilised" in Amarr space is a word that requires several footnotes.
Tash-Murkon Prime
Security: 0.8
IChooseYou Market and Industry
Owner: Tradors'R'us
The capital of the Tash-Murkon region and a major Amarr cultural and economic centre.
The system is also used for major imperial events; the Amarr Foundation Day celebrations have historically included a parade at Tash-Murkon Prime.
This is therefore an excellent place to visit if you enjoy:
Imperial architecture;
enormous spaceships;
religious ceremony;
very expensive clothing;
and being politely reminded that the Empire considers itself vastly more important than you.
PURE BLIND GATEWAY
Torrinos
Security: 0.5
FREEPORT MARKET AND CLONES
Owner: Trident Logistics
Logistics Hub Alpha
Owner: Space Colony
Torrinos is a major Lonetrek system near the route toward null-sec and Pure Blind.
It is one of the recognised high-sec systems bordering major dangerous-space routes and has long served as a logistical staging point. Local guides specifically list Torrinos as a significant route-side system bordering EC-P8R/Pure Blind.
Jacker's warning:
Torrinos is where the map starts quietly asking whether you really need all that cargo.
WARZONE MANUFACTURING
Trytedald
Security: 0.9
Phoenix Forge
Zion
Owner: Minmatar Munitions
The names tell you everything.
Phoenix Forge.
Zion.
Minmatar Munitions.
There are few things in New Eden more comforting than a corporation whose business model is literally "make ammunition."
Turnur
Security: 0.4
Summit's Beacon
Owner: Oblivion Watch
Turnur is part of the Minmatar low-sec theatre and has become particularly notable as a gateway into the wider low-sec and wormhole environment. Turnur's unusually rich access to wormholes and its position near Isbrabata is particularly appealing.
In practical terms:
Turnur is where the map develops escape routes.
Whether those routes lead somewhere better is another question.
Uedama
Security: 0.5
GET PAINTED
Owner: Never Ignorant Gettin' Goals Accomplished
Ah.
Uedama.
The system whose name causes haulers to suddenly remember they have an appointment elsewhere.
Uedama is one of the most notorious suicide-ganking systems in New Eden. It is arguably the single most infamous ganking location, with enormous volumes of ship destruction resulting from its position on major trade routes.
It is a crucial choke point between major high-sec markets, especially on routes connecting Jita with the wider cluster.
The freeport is called GET PAINTED.
This is either very funny or extremely honest.
Probably both.
Jacker's warning:
Do not ask whether your hauler is tanked.
Ask whether your hauler is worth ganking.
THE REFINERY
Uminas
Security: 0.5
The Great Refinery
Owner: Ivy League Alliance Holdings
The name is admirably modest.
Not "Quite Good Refinery."
Not "Adequate Refinery."
The Great Refinery.
One can only hope the service lives up to the adjective.
ICE COUNTRY
Vaurent
Security: 0.6
THE ICE LODGE
Owner: DIXI MINER Corp
An ice lodge.
Because eventually every industrial civilisation reaches the same conclusion:
"What if mining, but colder?"
Vaurent provides a useful stop for pilots involved in ice-related industry and the broader Gallente industrial economy.
Villore
Security: 0.9
Dancing Around The Stars
Owner: Liber Group
Villore is much more important than its final appearance in this list suggests.
It is the capital system of the Gallente Federation, with the capital planet Libertopolis. CCP's lore records the decision to move the Federal capital to Villore during the implementation of the Further Federation Act.
Current map data lists Villore as a 0.9 Gallente system with extensive infrastructure and a large number of planets, moons and NPC facilities.
It is therefore a rather splendid location for a freeport named:
Dancing Around The Stars
Because after several thousand years of interstellar politics, one should occasionally stop to enjoy oneself.

All of the above.
AND FINALLY...
The great freeports of New Eden are monuments to the peculiar genius of capsuleers.
Empires build stations.
Corporations build infrastructure.
Alliance leaders build citadels.
And capsuleers build enormous floating structures with names like Kiki's Broomstick Factory, Chunkzilla Refinery, The R&D Space Party and 5 Times Nearly AT Winners, then wonder why nobody takes civilization seriously.
The truth is that New Eden does not really belong to the empires anymore.
It belongs to whoever owns the citadel you are currently docking in.
And whoever owns the guns outside it.
So load your filament.
Check your clone.
Check your cargo.
Check local.
Check the map.
Check local again.
Then activate the filament and prepare to discover that you have been transported somewhere considerably worse.
This is New Eden.
Welcome to the freeport.
* not all New Eden freeports are listed in this guide. Just the ones that we had access to at the time of publication.
