Empires of Eve opens through the focus of the Evolution corporation and the alpha and beta testing for Eve Online. Next the story shows the Venal Alliance formation and the betrayal which leads it into the 2003 civil war.[1][2] The story moves on from that to cover how various factions come together to battle the Phoenix Alliance (formerly the Venal Alliance) in the Great Northern War in 2004. Here, the story shows Evolution, Reikokou and the Jericho Fraction coming together to form the Band of Brothers. The Band of Brothers will play a very important part in the upcoming Great Northern War. Their story is shown from this formation through its battle against their former allies the Fountain Alliance for Delve in 2005.[2]

At this point, the story covers the founding of Ascendant Frontier, including its alliance history, betrayals and war with the Band of Brothers who feel threatened by the Ascendant Frontier's technological weapons.[2] The story shifts to 2004 where the Goons are introduced.[3] The Goons are the official name for player created groups in Eve Online and the story shows their beginnings. The story highlights these beginnings by showing how the Goons fail eight times to hold together a corporation until they finally succeed in this endeavour with the founding of Goonfleet.[3] The books shows their failed fight for independence and their defeat by the Dusk and Dawn Alliance in nullsec.[2][3]

Goonswarm comes into the story around this point as it aligns itself the struggling Red Alliance to reclaim the Red Alliance's home in a battle against the Coalition of the South.[2] The story then focuses on the build up to the Great War and the battle itself which leads to an armistice between the survivors.[2] The Great War is a battle between the RedSwarm Federation (Goonswarm + Red Alliance + Tau Ceti Federation) against the Band of Brothers. Others war factions that are covered in this part of the book are the Northern Coalition, Lotka Volterra and the Band of Brothers.[2] The story moves on to cover the Band of Brothers' invasion of the Northern Coalition in the Maximum Damage campaign. The story also shows the break up of the Red Alliance into smaller alliances. From here, the story covers the next part of the Great War including coverage of a famous traitor fighting in the war, Agamar. The book concludes with a summary of the events of the book and what is to be expected to come.[2]
