The bustling New Eden Starport was filled with anticipation as people held their breaths. Corporation fleets arrived one after another at the site of the Voyage Ceremony. Once again, before setting off for the new world, they proudly formed their ranks and stood in formation under the watchful eyes of the masses, ready to write their own legends.
Capsuleers are required to participate in the event as Corporations, with a total of 36 slots available. The top three Corporations on the Inscription of the Galaxy S8 leaderboard will be invited, along with 12 randomly selected Corporations from the top three of each S1 to S7 season.
Qualified Corporations can register themselves, and the list of successfully-registered Corporations will be confirmed and published after the random screening.

Many Wasteseeker Fleets have appeared across various systems. CONCORD, after observation, suspects these are just the Wasteseeker's vanguard, with an unknown crisis possibly lurking in the shadows, ready to strike.
