Running for CSM Interview with Orion Sa-Solo - Oct 21st 2025

Orion Sa-Solo's EVE Story

A relative asked me to play EVE Online in 2013 and then immediately pushed me into starting an industry corp in High Sec Yulai Heavy Industries. We mined together, built ships and eventually even capitals as we grew into a solid group, then ventured into Null Sec as renters. Over time we drifted apart, and I discovered PvP was what I wanted to do so I shuttered my corp. I eventually found more friends, became a director of Lethal Injection and moved around to multiple groups as we grew; CO2, The Culture, Triumvirate, and Pandemic Legion even dipped my toes into wormholes for a short time (WHs are scary; you really need Rat Jesus). Today I’m having a blast in Faction Warfare with the Minmatar Fleet Alliance. I’ve experienced all corners of space and I want to carry that breadth of knowledge to help everyone be heard.

Areas of Expertise

• PvP

• Null Sec/High Sec

• Small/Medium/Large gang PvP

Qualities That Set Me Apart

I’ve flown across just about every region of New Eden, been shot at, and shot just about everyone. I’m a D-tier FC, C-tier nano pilot, and B-tier local trash talker. I understand the perspectives of pilots in High Sec, Low Sec, Null Sec, Faction Warfare, and Wormholes—and I’ll make sure all voices are heard and concerns addressed. I’m not tied to anything other than helping CCP and the CSM help to keep making improvements on the game.

Why I’m Applying for the CSM

EVE and its pilots helped me through some of the toughest parts of my life. I want to give back by improving the game I love. I see room for more content and fresh objectives, and I’m committed to pushing for features that keep players engaged across every space.

What Players Can Expect From Me

• A CSM who listens to every pilot, regardless of playstyle or locale

• Active relaying of your concerns, ideas, and feedback

• Advocate for new and balanced content in HS, LS, Null, FW, and WHs

Key Proposals

• No citadel can be neutral in FW space put it on the line join one or the other.

• More Carrier/Dread iteration

• More mechanics to prevent afk plexing

• An in-game Abyssal marketplace the pilots yearn for a market!

• More dynamic community events that draw pilots out of their usual systems and spotlight every career path
