The Yan Jungs immigrated into New Eden through the EVE Gate eons ago. From where, is unknown, though the fragments of text it has been possible to translate talk about a mysterious "middle kingdom". The Yan Jungs settled in the system of Deltole, though it is suspected they also colonized other systems, even in far off places. The planets of Deltole V and VI appears to have been in particular inhabitable for the Yan Jungs. The reason for their disappearance remains unknown.

Yan Jung, if we decipher the etymology of this group, leaves us with the sure knowledge that these peoples were of Asian descent. Chinese to be more precise. Yanjing, "capital of Yan", has been slightly modified to fit the Eve symbology that is in place, changing the second half of the word into an allusion to Jung.

Quote:
"Jung proposed and developed the concepts of the extroverted and the introverted personality, archetypes, and the collective unconscious. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, literature, and related fields."

Yan Jung Semiotic Theory shows that these Jungs had a firm grasp on semiosis and the variables to implement it as a precognitive and manipulative tool. And it shows definitively why the Triapartite, Cyclic, Symbolic aspects of New Eden are so very important. Imagine someone who could access and control the collective unconscious of a star cluster full of people, or the uploaded facsimile thereof..

While strictly in game sources report the Yan Jungs excelled in the fields of advanced gravitronic (gravi-, a natural phenomenon by which physical bodies attract each other with a force proportional to their masses; -tron, a suffix to denote a complex scientific instrument) technology and force field theories.

Quote:
"Gravitational waves have two important and unique properties. First, there is no need for any type of matter to be present nearby in order for the waves to be generated by a binary system of uncharged black holes, which would emit no electromagnetic radiation. Second, gravitational waves can pass through any intervening matter without being scattered significantly. Whereas light from distant stars may be blocked out by interstellar dust, for example, gravitational waves will pass through essentially unimpeded. These two features allow gravitational waves to carry information about astronomical phenomena never before observed by humans."

"Waves familiar from other areas of physics such as water waves, sound waves, and electromagnetic waves are able to carry energy, momentum, and angular momentum.The waves can also carry off linear momentum, a possibility that has some interesting implications for astrophysics."

"After two supermassive black holes coalesce, emission of linear momentum can produce a "kick" with amplitude as large as 4000 km/s. This is fast enough to eject the coalesced black hole completely from its host galaxy. Even if the kick is too small to eject the black hole completely, it can remove it temporarily from the nucleus of the galaxy, after which it will oscillate about the center, eventually coming to rest. A kicked black hole can also carry a star cluster with it, forming a hyper-compact stellar system. Or it may carry gas, allowing the recoiling black hole to appear temporarily as a naked quasar."

And I thought the force field entry the most important..Roll

The existence of the Yan Jung Void Machine, Singularity Fact Sheet, Trigonometric Laws and Null Shell would certainly seem to suggest they were working on the possibility or had succeeded to some degree. And think on the effects such a kick would cause to the effected star systems? "The Eve Gate is not what we think it is." Not my words.. Blink

The efforts of the Sleepers in wormhole space suggests the Yan Jungs were not the last to explore this technology....

Myyona pointed out to me, during my time at Arek'Jaalan that it was Yan JungS, and I thank her heartily for this correction on simple grammar. For, it led me to the line of reasoning that Yan is the culture. Yan are the people. Jungs are something within that culture. So I started looking at what fields these Yan Jungs were studying in the hopes I might draw closer to understanding what these people were about.

They are fields which overlap nicely with the realities of the Ani Constellation, the Architects and the work of Hilen Tukoss and Lianda Burreau.

It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then, and it's a poor sort of memory that only works backward.

We can infer many things about the Yan Jungs' technology. Given their focus on Gravitronic systems, they likely used Gravimetric sensor and propulsion systems of superior design. Maybe even capable of detecting cloaked ships and achieving conventional speed of light travel, if we read into the above entry a bit.

The Tachyon Stetoscope has implications in faster than light communications and travel.

They likely used powerful shielding systems. They used nanites and their armor repair systems were likely of superior design, as well. Their ability to decrypt many binary cyphers is attested to in their Cosmos missions. All in all, the Yan Jungs were likely far beyond current technology levels.

Technology the Jovians seem to have acquired, as well.

Culturally, their are numerous sources better than I to describe how the peoples of the Orient compose themselves.. Bhuddism, Taoism, socialistic inclined mentallity, structured society, conservative values... The bloodlines survive in the Jin Mei(Chinese), Achura (Korean), Caldari(Japanese), Khanid(Mongol) and perhaps other "races" I have forgotten to mention...

Given the animosity some Jovians have expressed toward the Yan Jungs, I feel it safe to assume there is no love lost between them. The only question left in my mind, is, did the Yan Jungs succumb to a natural or man made disaster? Did they become part of the First Jovian Empire? Is it a possibility that there are Yan Jung consciousness' in The Construct?

Here's one for everyone to ponder.. Yan Jung Silk Armor as a wetware application...

A good example of these technologies include the work of Chris Voigt, who redesigned the Type III secretion system used by Salmonella typhimurium to secrete spider silk proteins, a strong elastic biomaterial, instead of its own natural infectious proteins.

Or, how about this one... Compare this and this.. See an implication? See a possibility for dating the Yan Jung culture's downfall? Apparently, some of the cluster already knows.. Late Yan Jung Era..Blink

Era's are generally denoted by the dominant culture.. The Yan Jungs were a dominant culture? In the Minmatar Republic?

Quote:
"Chieran― Dr. Kenitawri… you really need to see this. I think― I have― I've found something interesting. Quite interesting." The image on Chieran's desk shuddered for a moment as Dr. Merial Akalayan, his senior assistant, shifted her holocam downward and expanded the view to include two objects, each filling half of a large table. "This piece was recently brought back from a wormhole in Akora. This piece," she said, pointing to the second object, "was found in the archive. Labeled, probably by some idiotic student, as 'detritus.' It was retrieved from a very old excavation site on Matari Prime ― Matar, I mean ― sometime during the last century. Never properly dated."

At a glance, the two items seemed vaguely similar in shape, but without examining them more closely, Chieran could not judge accurately.

"Yes, and what is it that's so interesting?" Chieran asked.

"Well, several things," the younger scientist replied, her voice speeding up. "First, the age. I ran some tests, and the first object dates back roughly fourteen to fifteen thousand years; the second, this one here, only about slightly less, probably within less than a thousand years of the other."

Chieran's slightly raised eyebrow gave away his sudden interest. "So late Yan Jung Era or shortly thereafter."


So, the Yan Jungs definitely ruled Matari space, thirteen to fourteen thousand years ago. Roughly.. The piece is not identified per se, but I would think it implies Yan Jung...Blink

Roughly two thousand years after the Eve Gate collapsed...

The other piece I would propose is Talocan.. IT dates to a thousand years after the closure of Eve Gate. Roughly.. But, which came first, the chicken or the egg?Twisted

Quote:
But it's the size! I mean, with equalizers this big, the engines themselves would have to have been, well, absolutely enormous. I mean, a ship that could house an engine this size must have been… Well, no modern dreadnought could even compare!"


Titan sized Engine parts.. Maybe a larger ship.. Colony Ships or War Ships? Or something else? The gates would have been constructed already..

Quote:
The Heaven constellation is the former habitat of the Jovians. The ancestors of the Jovians settled in Utopia while the EVE gate was still open. The Heaven constellation was the home of the First and Second Jovian Empires, both larger and grander than their current Third Empire.

The Third Empire was founded half a millennium ago amidst the devastation of the Jovian Disease, which threatened to disintegrate Jovian society. In a desperate attempt to escape the wrath of the mysterious epidemic, the Jovians decided to relocate to another part of the world.

Three huge vessels were built, termed Motherships; they were the first Titan-class ships ever built. The majority of the Jovian population relocated in the Motherships. Those showing any sign of the Disease were left behind to die.

Of note the second component (found on Matar) failed where the first made it to Anoikis. This is also hinted as being before the Jovian disease. With the first and second empires of Jove existing millenia ago and the third empire forming "roughly half a millenia ago amidst the devastation of the Jovian Disease" the reason the component, made roughly 1000 years after the intial success, failing is likely sabotage or corrupt information.


Bearing in mind that Warp Core stability was favoured by the Yan Jung Nation and Inertial Stabilizers were favoured by the Sleepers, the likelihood of the second component failing as technology advanced over 1000 years is remote. Chieran's aide compares the component with an equalizer, the primary use of which is harmonics and frequency response. No idea if this ties in with Superlubricity but it stands out. If it was to dissipate energy from the engines across the structure to protect structural integrity design modifications must have caused the failure, or option 3 - the material used.

A cool way to re-introduce the Yan Jung would be to utilise a variation of their technology to decloak a ship around the EVE Gate using an event near Deltole for the tech. Speculation is in the history section of the EVE Gate

Until then they are the only "Truly Dead" ancient race at the minute.

I'd be curious as to the manipulation of Gravitrons and the instability of the EVE Gate vs the Promised Land Stable Wormhole and flux (which Sansha was able to Equalize to allow passage)
