Also, the OP is bad at math. 250 Districts with a minimum of 5 districts per planet is 50 planets maximum.

My bet is Metropolis given the info we've received from the Dev post.

Everyshore has 11 planets.

CCP can easily create another off limits region. Or a wormhole sector without wormholes.

Black Rise is a frontier region of the Caldari State, and the latest area of space to be colonized by them. Previously, the region was classed as an inexplicable black void, believed to be without mass or dimension. There were attempts by both the Federation and the Caldari during the Gallente-Caldari War to establish travel routes through Black Rise to try and outflank their foe, but all such endeavours failed. Ignored for the most part, it was only recently colonized in secret by a coalition of like-minded Caldari megacorporations, despite the poorly-misunderstood stellar phenomena that plague the somewhat unexplored region. In YC 110, the eruption of the Empyrean War forced the State to reveal the region to CONCORD, and wartorn Black Rise is now a key front between Federation and Caldari forces.

Rationale?

I'm not saying that you're wrong, I'm just not seeing how it would be more likely than Genesis.

Ooooooo whats this.... a thread of people attempting to figure out what the first region will be! :D

I will save you some effort, because I am a nice guy and all, no planets outside the FW regions even have districts on them, so no need to go looking. :P

And now, time to wander off into the sunset!

I think it pretty obviously Genesis because of the names they have been using up to this point.

It would only make since that the start of this would be Genesis.

I've highlighted the important bits

If you'll check Dotlan, neither of the two faction warfare fronts have any Genesis systems in them.

filtered for region for your convenience

Being minmatar, I just naturally assumed that one of the two minmatar regions in the warzone would have the "first region" for Districts. Metropolis has more space in the warzone than Heimatar so it would make sense to me that of the two, Metropolis would be more likely.

Oh kitten. I think I typed 4 into my calculator.

I'll fix it.

Tacos

I assume by this you mean no planets in lowsec outside the FW regions, since Gallente hisec is full of them.

My relatives keep asking about fighting in Sinq Laison because they see districts when they do Planetary Interaction:

Even so, I appreciate the hint that the districts we are looking for might not be deployed yet.

Did you ever go back and look at that Territorial Warfare thread again?

I saw noticed this after exploring a few regions. -_-

You couldn't make it easy on us could you?

Considering this:

Empress Jamyl I announces Empire intent to welcome clone soldiers with open arms

My guess is now Amarr low-sec and most likely Aridia. The Amarr can go kitten themselves if they think I'll move into their territory. My time will be spent in Devoid and The Bleak Lands saying hello with my mass driver.

Been focused on the dev blog feedback thread.

Damn it! I need star map back CCP, that was all I did in Dust in November, look at the cool cosmic art background behind the planets and systems.

Anyways, 250,000 ISK on it being a zone of twain between Caldari and Gallente space....

I can't imagine it being in any faction space because this would affect the standing of EvE ships supporting Planetary Conquest.

I also think the Amarr thing is a big red-herring to throw us off. It's just obvious that they don't care about our clones.

I think it'll be a case of us finding our own unoccupied/non-faction region and trying to forge our own clone empire.

Another Black Rise situation is possible but CCP have already done that, so maybe disinclined to repeat themselves.

It makes sense that this space will also need to be adjacent to a large area of nullsec, since the plan is eventually to expand PC into 0.0 space too.

I still think as mercs we should get together, comandeer a titan (perhaps the one over Caldari Prime), then we crash it into the surface. We then hack the jump bridge drive of the titan and jump the planet it is attached to to another system nearby. Then we can basically have it as a hostage planet or use it to threaten to eliminate any other planet in jump range. We basically need negotiating power with the Empyreans.

An Amarr region, then?

You could be right. The problem is that lowsec is all "empire" (faction space). So it would have to be in a faction or a new region.

It would be cool to see CONCORD "discover" a region near Genesis that links the four empires.

Dibs on new region yet to be discovered. I called it first!

Lonetrek all the way. It's right next to the FW blackrise space and it has as ton of low sec systems and pockets.
