This just hit me doing the numbers about it. Are there going to be any special events regarding this anniversary, I'm sure the players will do something, but will the story team act on this somehow? And I'm certainly curious if you have something planned for next year, as then it will be 200 years since the actual war started.

AFAIK there is no exact dates set for when Caldari seceded from the Federation and the war started in earnest, is there?

Not particular dates, only years as shown on this timeline.

However in-game, if you select State Protectorate ranks that players have attained and open the "show info" box, many of them contain a quote in their description which include a year, month and day. Many of these quotes are from the Gallente-Caldari war and include quotes from such people as Admiral Yakiya Tovil-Toba. It'd give you rough estimates for dates.

Good eye, the First Lieutenant rank apparently gives us the exact date:

Quote:
"We will not permit you to tell us how to be Caldari, and so you leave us with no choice."

- Excerpt from the Caldari Proclamation of Secession. CE 23154.11.22


So 22nd of November, assuming the calendar format is the same as with YC.
