Market Systems
Players have established a handful of systems as the main trade hubs in EVE Online, with trading concentrated at particular stations and structures. Jita is the price benchmark for New Eden; prices for most non-capital items are compared against Jita.
In addition to Jita, trade takes place in markets across high-sec, low-sec, and null-sec. The sections below introduce the main hubs.
High-sec markets
High-sec markets have developed around the four empires. Following the 2026 New Player Experience refresh and the addition of the Genesis starting area, Genesis also has an official market area.
CONCORD NPCs enforce the law in high-sec, and players cannot attack others freely. However, they can still destroy your ship in either of these situations:
- Your corporation or alliance is at war with the attacker. The attacker can legally destroy your ship, and CONCORD will not respond. Characters in Fraternity. (FRT.) should avoid high-sec where possible.
- You are flying a fragile ship with valuable cargo or fittings, and an attacker chooses to destroy it to loot the wreck. This is called a suicide gank. See How to Avoid High-Sec Ganks for ways to reduce the risk.
Caldari high-sec markets
Jita: New Eden's main market hub. Jita IV - Moon 4 - Caldari Navy Assembly Plant is the largest NPC trade station in the game. You can buy or sell nearly any non-capital hull or item here through the market or contracts. Jita is the baseline for prices across New Eden.
Perimeter: One gate from Jita. Often called the "Quiet Trade Hub," it has many player-owned structures where trading fees may be lower than at NPC stations.

Low-sec markets
Low-sec is dangerous, but it has active markets. Capital ships cannot enter high-sec, so capital trading usually takes place in low-sec or null-sec. Alliance and corporation deployments have also created markets in low-sec focused on supplying fleets and staging areas.
Amarr and Minmatar Factional Warfare space
Amamake has a publicly accessible Keepstar operated as a neutral hub. It sells some ships and fittings used in Factional Warfare. With less competition than Jita, prices are often more than twice as high.
Todifrauan is a major gathering point for the Factional Warfare community and one of the alliance's routes into low-sec. A Fortizar there has market services, mainly for Factional Warfare ships, fittings, and ammunition. The source document's note on prices is incomplete.
Low-sec asset-safety markets
When a player-owned null-sec structure is destroyed, assets that were not moved are delivered by asset safety to designated stations in low-sec. These delivery systems have formed their own markets, often including supercapital hulls and player assets.
Null-sec markets
Null-sec markets are largely organized by major alliances. Moving goods between null-sec and high-sec depends on player hauling services. Sovereignty-based industry and the ability to build supercapital ships also contribute to a distinct market system.
