Havoc is an expansion for EVE: War for New Eden that introduces a fifth player controlling the notorious pirate faction, the Deathless Circle. While the first four players still follow gameplay similar to the Core Game, the fifth player uses a distinct set of asymmetrical rules to pursue their own victory condition.
Starting from the center of the board, the Deathless Circle Player launches swift and deadly raids across unexplored systems. Their pirate fleet offers a broader range of amazing miniatures, and although the ships are individually weaker, they are significantly cheaper than their Core Game counterparts. Preying upon unguarded systems, the criminals will also establish their underground network, generating a steady stream of illegal profits.
All these disreputable actions spread corruption throughout the galaxy, and once corruption reaches critical mass, the pirates can claim undisputed dominion over New Eden. This forces the Empire Players to carefully balance their own agendas with the need to keep the pirates at bay. In the end, only one player can claim victory!
