A new Abyssal Proving Grounds event is now live in EVE Online, so make sure you have your Proving Filaments handy either from Abyssal Deadspace loot drops, or from the in-game market!

Until 11:00 UTC on 8 September, and in celebration of Caldari Union Day, you can engage in 2v2 Caldari Strike Team combat, meaning that the permitted hulls for this event include Faction Frigates, Interceptors and Destroyers. The full eligible hull list is as follows: Caldari Navy Hookbill, Griffin Navy Issue, Raptor, Crow, Cormorant, and Corax - limited to meta 5 (Tech II) modules (no Faction/Deadspace/Officer/Abyssal modules). Pirate implants are also restricted.

Don't forget, you can keep track of Capsuleer performance and prowess in this event using the leaderboards!

To further celebrate Caldari Union Day, the Kimotoro Eskeitan SKIN will return to EVE Online's New Eden Store for a limited time between 11:00 UTC on 3 September and 11:00 UTC on 17 September with a 25% discount!
