Week 36 of World War Bee was busier than week 35, with 16 fights and 75 total hostile actions. Delve and the East were the busiest regions of the bunch, as structure bashes traded across the south of New Eden.

There were four battles that exceeded 20 billion ISK in cumulative losses, excluding the 1DQ1-A/T5ZI-S border skirmish battle report. Three were strategic victories for the Imperium and one was a victory for PAPI forces. Of additional note, the Imperium lost four Keepstars in Western Delve.
The three major theaters are the North (Fountain and the border with Aridia and Cloud Ring as well as western Delve), the South (the rest of Delve, Querious, and Period Basis), and the East (Paragon Soul, Catch, Stain, Immensea, and Esoteria)
