Empires of Eve opens through the eyes of one of Eve Online's earliest corporations, Evolution and covers their beginnings in the alpha and beta tests. The story moves on to cover the formation of the Venal Alliance and the 2003 Civil War that breaks out over Venal Alliance member Taggart Transdimensional's betrayal of the alliance. The Venal Alliance and their allies for the war Evolution and Reikokou (a pirate faction) defeat Taggart Transdimensional by disrupting their line of income.

The story shifts from 2003 Civil War to cover Reikoku recruiting Evolution, NORAD and the Coalition of Deklein to help them take out a big threat; the Forsaken Empire. Once Reikokou turns Forsaken Empire member the Rising Storm against the empire, Reikokou and its allies defeat the Forsaken Empire. The book covers the Phoenix Alliance (formerly the Venal Alliance) betraying their former allies Reikokou, the Fade Union, Coalition of Deklein and NORAD in order to gain power. The book then shows these betrayed allies forming an alliance with Evolution to form the Band of Brothers. Next the book covers the Great Northern War which begins in May 2004. During the war the Fountain Alliance joins the Band of Brothers and the battle goes on for months before a peace treaty is reached by the two sides.

Next the story covers the Fountain Alliance turning on their allies the Band of Brothers and the subsequent war that breaks out between the two sides. After months of fighting, the Band of Brothers win the war and take the Delve from the Fountain Alliance.

The story then introduces the Ascendant Frontier. The Ascendant Frontier leaves the much bigger Xetic Foundation to form their own alliance due to not feeling appreciated and defense reasons. Other Xetic Foundation members join Ascendant Frontier in their new alliance. The Ascendant Frontier creates a lot of technological innovation including their powerful titan ship named Steve the Titan. When the the Band of Brothers hear about the Ascendant Frontier creating Steve the Titan they feel threatened. Feeling threatened, Band of Brothers goes to war with the Ascendant Frontier. After months of stalemates between the two sides, the Band of Brothers slowly closes in on the Ascendant Frontier and defeats them.

The story then goes back to 2004 and covers the Goons. The Goons are player created groups whose corporations don't stay together long due to internal struggles. They form, scatter and reform eight times before veteran players and recruited newbies from Something Awful form Goonfleet. Goonfleet's goals aren't space conquest but corporate growth and fun experimentation. Goonfleet's new approach rubs other Eve Online leaders the wrong way and this partly inspires Goonfleet to branch out into new corporations under the Goonswarm banner. Goonswarm's goal is to take new territory like the Cloud Ring and they battle and defeat NORAD in the region. However, Remidal mocks the real life death of a member of the Band of Brothers causing the Band of Brothers and their allies to declare war on Goonswarm. The Band of Brothers recruit NORAD to go against Goonswarm under the banner the Dusk and Dawn Alliance. Eventually the Dusk and Dawn alliance defeat Goonswarm driving them back to their home in the Syndicate.

From there, the story shows the Goonswarm aligning itself with the nearly extinct Red Alliance. The alliance between the two powers is named the RedSwarm Federation and together they defeat the Coalition of the South to recapture the Red Alliance's empire. After destructive attacks and losses the survivors of the war reach an armistice.

Then the story picks up as the Band of Brothers attack the Northern Coalition. It also shows the break up of the Red Alliance into smaller alliances. The story turns to the end with a war theme as the next chapter in the Great War is begun by a traitor named Haargoth Agamar. The book concludes with a summary of what happened and what to expect in the future.
