On 13 September 2021 pilot Henrique Arnolles finished visiting all 7,805 reachable EVE systems in 224 days - a Guinness-ratified speed record that re-framed Katia Sae's two-year-old patience milestone as a route-optimisation problem.

Henrique Arnolles - Fastest Full-Cluster Tour

On 13 September 2021 capsuleer Henrique Arnolles touched his final wormhole in Anoikis and closed out a 224-day tour of every reachable solar system in EVE Online - 7,805 systems in K-space and J-space, started on 1 February 2021. Guinness World Records ratified the result as the fastest full-cluster exploration on record.

Arnolles's run was the explicit counterpart to Katia Sae's no-loss tour: Sae's nine-year achievement was about patience, discipline, and never dying once; Arnolles's 224 days was about route optimisation, daily mileage, and grinding through hostile space at pace. Like Sae, he reportedly finished without losing a ship - but the rule he was racing was time, not survival. Press coverage at the time framed the gap as roughly 14× faster than Sae's pace.

CCP marked the achievement with an official news post ("Racing Across the Stars"), formally recognising both records side-by-side as complementary milestones in EVE's exploration history.
