So... Are the shattered worlds Jovian worlds?

Caroline's Star, which is supposedly what caused all those shattered wormholes, was revealed to be W477-P.

This system is located in the middle of the B-PHYN constellation.
Said constellation is located in the center of UUA-F4 region.

Open galaxy map and view the area through the map browser.

In the above region, there are 15 constellations, of which, 13 currently have no connection between systems.
9RW5 - Z: 6*
J - 4QD7: 6*
LC - AQD: 7*
L5 - H1O: 8*
T7B - UB: 6*
7PUP - K: 6*
FL - TD4: 6*
B - PHYN: 10*
V8UW - M: 7*
VL - OGL: 7*
VW - JMB: 6*
RO - AZT: 6*
HN5 - RL: 6*
KCR - 1E: 6*
Total: 93 systems.

There are 2 more constellations, which according to the map retain connections between their systems;
BHLOG: 7
0VFS - G: 6

The total is(Sadly) 106 systems, which is 5 more systems than the 101 shattered world systems.

Then, there's this.

The circle is 600X600 pixels, the biggest I could get while keeping W477-P in the center of it, without the circle touching the systems in the BHLOG system.

Because of that, three systems aren't included, bringing it down to 103 systems.

Further more, the Jovians were actually past jump gate technology at the time of Caroline's Star(I seem to recall reading they were manipulating WHs), so it's possible that the reason why there are another two regions in the Jove empire that have no connections between the stars(even the systems outside the circle) is due to the same effect that allowed the people of new Eden to witness the star in every corner of the galaxy simultaneously;
The shockwave traveled through wormholes like a sort of virus, affecting the technology the Jovians used to manipulate them, and destroying them.
The reason we only got a pretty light show?
We got shafted with naturally occurring wormholes, which possibly couldn't carry as much energy, and possibly collapsed before too much energy went to the other side.

I'm certain that if someone were to reach the Jove worlds that are outside that circle, the systems themselves would also be shattered.

As for why the systems are unknown exactly like w-space?
Think CMB;
SSA YC116-11-26 Released so much energy that it's still in the background, affecting superluminal communication channels, which is why you can't get a lock on any of the FTL comms centers.

And what about the other two constellations? The ones that still have interconnected systems?
It's possible the Jovians figured out something was happening, and managed to shut down the connections just in time, saving part of their civilization(maybe the government?)

As this is GD and not RP, the answer is that The systems that still have gates are the CCP testing alliance systems. Polaris and such. Also, PE1 was where they held AT9 last year. I'm curious where they will hold it this year.

edit: Oh almost forgot. One can also look in the static database and see the physical coordinates of all systems in Eve, including w-space. All w-space systems are located in the Anoikis cluster, which is located well to the southeast of k-space.

Could Jovians be the remnants of ILERMINATI?!

from what can be gleamed, i don;t think those jove systems are the shattered systems. I think they are connected to the shattered ones, as in the Dyson sphere theory, that jove was using the enegery in these wh's and feeding it into there area. Or maybe they are. we really don;t fully know at this point.

I think the systems that lost there gates has other stuff going on. However

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

Yes...and no. Maybe. Cool

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

Yes, it was pinpointed by players, and then confirmed by the Scope news agency. However, shattered worlds are not Jovian worlds. At least not all of them. In the newly discovered shattered worlds wormhole systems, every planet is a shattered world, its impossible that all of those planet were habitable planets. Also, this old trailer of Apocrypha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q62Wk3xWH8g shows which I believe is the seyllin incident, clearly shows ORE ships and structures, perhaps ORE was harvesting resources from that planet as well? Point being, the strong energy blasts caused the planets to shatter (and perhaps cause the wormholes to open), and later shown in the video of the Concord security map of the 10 shattered worlds that is spread throughout all of K-known space, and not in Jovian space.

Could it have been Jovian related? Perhaps. The Sleepers, which had a strong Jovian connection, and themselves having the Jovian Disease, traveled to W-space long before us, and before the shattered worlds wormholes, there were 2 shattered worlds in the original wormholes that opened up. How this happened is still a mystery, but there are many theories. However, as I said, some of these shattered planets are lava and barren worlds.

Maybe it is a super weapon used by the Jove. The new Drifters home system was under Sansha occupation for 6 months. What does that tell us? A conflict, incursions that we are unaware of? Or maybe Caroline's star is what caused the worlds to shatter and the new wormholes to open up.
