The EVE Gate description says that the Gate didn't collapse, but an "Electromagnetic Storm flows from it".

It sounds like something had closed the hole, not specifically collapsed it. EM Storms sounds like a Sun to me. And that someone "put up a Sun" to shut the hole behind them. You have to remember, that we call our Galaxy "Anoikis." (Anoikis is a form of programmed cell death which is induced by anchorage-dependent cells detaching from the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM).[1]) and "Anoikis is the name used by Capsuleers for the star systems found through wormholes, it is believed by many to be Jovian in origin." [2]

So, it is likely that the EVE Gate was shut off, and that the W-Space destination that we explore with the Sleepers and Talocan within them is an attempt to return back to EVE Gate Space. This can be highlighted in another persons thread I read (sorry, don't remember where it is atm). But, essentially the Isogen stores that were put in place in New Eden were intended to mirror the destination through the wormholes. The Sleepers and Talocan working together would have arrived at the W-Space destination (Sleepers being cryogenically and data capable to sustain long treks - Talocan being excellent Navigators to take them there). Setting up similar Isogen stores in the destination galaxy and then lighting up the Isogen systems would have set off the wormholes so that their "people" could return to... "home"? Or where?

The Yan Jungs built the Eve Gates.. Their technology is especially susceptible to electromagnetic disruption. The hows of the disruption I don't claim to know, but, it does seem pretty obvious it was intentional, but, by whom is unclear to me. Someone or something on the other side seems most likely.

You have me at a disadvantage, as I have never read any of the novels..Ugh

And you completely lost me here..


The EVE galaxy is called Anoikis. The systems in it are Anoikis systems. It refers to [cellular] Death due to being Disconnected. If you can't figure out how that relates to the EVE universe, i don't know how to help you.

I have never heard that the Yan Jung specifically built the EVE Gate. Cite your sources please. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I have never seen them specifically take credit for it.

All of the information I am using is from Chronicles readily available for you to read, and I'm not citing any of the Novels in my last post.

Fundamentally, I'm saying that there is another power at play in this whole scheme and it's being intentionally obfuscated from us. The question is who?

Not trying to be argumentative, but, where exactly is your source for the New Eden cluster being called Anoikis. KSpace, I have seen.. I understand the symbology you relate, I have just never seen such a source in the canon. Wormhole space has been called Anoikis in the fiction, but, where did you get the allusion to New Eden as Anoikis? The belief that the Yan Jungs built the gate is just that, a personal belief..

And where did you find the evidence of Jamyl's cloning resulting in a split psyche, as opposed to an Enheduanni introduced AI? I have never seen any source relate to Jamyl's cloning, apart from hints in the Immensea chronicle..

Wormhole space is denoted by J locus, only two designations appear in the first two spaces of the locus, J1 and J2, there are no higher designations. Take that with the known Jovian Empires and it seems likely that wormhole space was once part of the Jovian Empires.. But, that is, again, a belief only..

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.

I put a reference link at the end of the quote.

Also, a simple search on Evelopedia would give you :::

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Anoikis_%28Chronicle%29

I have also added references to all of the quotes I made. Go through the references to see where they are. I'm not doing all the work for you.

The J Reference is a scientific method to determine a location. References in coming. This was also stated by a CCP Torfifrans on an unofficial video.

Bit of a stretch, but, I'll give it a good possibility... Not completely convinced, though.. the key words to me seem to be "by capsuleers".. Unless you are saying capsuleer tech is far older than our presence in New Eden..?

Programmed cell death also seems to have a strong relation to what was forced upon the Jove by the Enheduanni.. In the wormhole systems.. And thus it's possible Jovian origin.. Do you know anything about real life conspiracy theory of the Illuminati? And what the bricks in the pyramid represent? People, and corporations.. Cells in an engineered societal structure..

Well, what I'm trying to say is that the Wormhole Systems are "Anoikis", and if we're the main body of the "Anoikis", then by Extension the wormhole we came through was the main body, and we're in Anoikis as well.

And if the word is "Jovian" in Origin, we came through a wormhole as well. Which would by extension have been "Anoikis". Really, the point is that we're all detached from the main body.

I don't deny that the J locus is what it is, I merely point out that duality abounds in Eve and it could have another meaning, as well..

I even accept the premise, that in a sense, we are in an Anoikis of sorts.. But, to flat out refer to KSpace as Anoikis is a bit of a misnomer, as well.. One not backed by any direct quotation in the fiction..

That is the first time I have seen the walking in stations presentation, very cool..

Have you looked at the superbubble link? It provides a reasonable explaination as to how the Talocan, whoever they were, migrated without the use of wormholes. They didn't need wormholes. They could have travelled along the "skins" of the Orion Eridanus superbubble and the local one in which the Sol system is situated, which overlap. Drawing from the condensed matter that has been expelled by the two supernovae that formed them. And using static gates and polestars to connect the "expeditions" to one another.

These superbubbles, spheres or globes with a "skin" of particulate matter which expand to far reaches of the galaxy proper and even beyond in some spots, could have provided a sea upon which the Talocan sailed to reach otherwise inaccesible regions of the galaxy. Connecting the "old" and "new" worlds.

The Sleepers demonstrate the same structures, albeit modified and more advanced, upon which their enclaves seem to be able to move about. If there is a path that circumvents the need to use wormholes, why all this elaborate need to open wormholes, that I see implied in your presentation? Especially when the wormholes are "broken" as implied in a CCP presentation I don't have a link to?Oops

Finally, Deteis and Civire are both Caldari, why so much resistance to the posit that the Talocan and Jove might be related? Or for that matter, that the Takmahl and Yan Jung might be related to the Jove, as well? We ALL sprang from the same source according to canon. The Talocan use a ferrous based technology, the Sleepers fully ferrofullerene technology. What do you see in the canon that causes you to think them totally unrelated? I really need to read Templar One... Damn you CCP for making me buy a book! Blink jk

I am not really disputing the links, I simply fail to see the "end game" you seem to arrive at from them. Who do you think this mysterious other force that you imply is out there pulling the strings is? The Talocans society appears older than the Sleepers society. It is pretty much established that they could have been the original explorers to New Eden. As hinted in 514 chron, they were here, likely, before the Eve Gates were built. There is a harmony between Sleeper (whom we know to be Jovians) technology and Talocan technology. This suggests a common heritage.

Many have said the Enheduanni, "left" to avoid the Jove, who they were also related to. According to Templar One, anyway.. Why not the simplest explaination that the Talocan of wormhole space and those in New Eden arrived via different methods? Those in New Eden being the early Jovians, who came through Eve, who lacked some of the acquired astronautical expertise of the explorer branch of their race from Anoikis, perhaps the Enheduanni? And the wormhole space Talocans arrived along the superbubble highways they may have created at an earlier period in time?

Someone had to build the gate that was on this side of the Eve wormhole..

While the Eve wormhole certainly provided a quick travel method between the "old" and "new" world, once the infrastructure had been built along the slow boat method, what precludes the Enheduanni or the Jove from going "home" the old fashioned way? Other than maybe the Seylinn event destroying their fuel caches, which is a very recent event, hardly an explaination for historical preclusions..

And a final question, if your willing? Who do you think Dagon was turned over to at the end of the Sister's arc?

I see you jumping to a lot of conclusions here without pointing to sources or explaining yourself.

I thought you didn't read the novels? Who said they left? The Chronicle where Enheduanni were mentioned are placed within the recent time frame of the game, not centuries ago. YC110 (or about 3 years ago). Why would they leave within a 3 year period?

Because everything says everyone came through the wormhole. Hence it's the simplest explanation.

The broken down nature of Talocan structures across the cluster and in wormhole space suggest the Talocan structures are older than Sleeper structures. The Minmatar retain racial memories of the Sleepers, suggesting their migration into wormhole space to be long after the Talocan, who are dated to have been around at the time of the Eve Gate migration, also concurrent with the Yan Jungs.

The migration into New Eden was quick, very quick, when you take into account the long periods it would take to build stargates between the systems. Unless that infrastructure was already there for the colonists. Even with Jump Drives, you need a Cynosural Field generated, so someone had to slowboat there in the first place. So, the entire cluster seems to have been slowboated in less than 70 years? It is only 28 years from the first explorer through the Eve Gate to the discovery of Pator.

The Sleepers also, as I said, present "updated" models of Talocan structures in wormhole space, again suggesting the Talocans were there before the Sleeper migration into wormhole space, at the least, concurrent to the Eve Gate being open.

Someone posted a Templar One spoiler thread here that said the Enheduanni fled the constant pestering of the Jove about a cure for their disease, and that some Jovians suspected the Enheduanni of perpetrating the Jovian disease upon them as a method of control. It was also said that both the Jove and the Enheduanni sprang from the Architects race. Jamyl Sarum says in 514 that the Sleeper race predates the Eve Gate, again, alluding to the Sleepers being Architect stock. Given that an architect is a design engineer, I think it safe to assume they built said infrastructure in New Eden. Though, I could be wrong. They are certainly the builders of the Construct in which the Sleepers reside, also related in the spoiler thread.

The Talocan as presented in Cosmos seem to lack the astronautical engineering specialization displayed by those in wormhole space. Instead displaying a mastery of Spatial Manipulation and Hypereuclidean Mathematics.

The events in Theodicy, actually, take place approximately 135 years ago. I have no good guess at when the supposed exodus of the Enheduanni took place, as it was not expressed in the spoiler thread and I have not read any Eve novels. My knowledge of these events is second hand.

There is one damaged Sleeper structure in wormhole space, along with the Ruins of Enclave Cohort 27 that expresses it's destruction in hundreds of years, not thousands. Suggesting a relatively recent conflict transpired there. Between whom, I can only surmise... Certainly not the Sleepers and Talocan, though..

Dagan is the likely source of the override code given to the Blood Raiders to retrieve Jamyl's superweapon. He is a SoCT member who is handed over to a Mobile Rogue Drone Construct at the end of the Sister's arc with representatives of all four Empire's present at the exchange. The Rogue Drone Construct displays the ability to "translocate", a skill also attributed to the Enheduanni by the Jovian, Grious..

Much of this information is rehashed points I have supported in links spread over years across this forum, meant to clarify and make sense of what I already do know. As you said, not gonna do all the work for ya.. P

The EVE Gate (all contributors are CCP or ISD) is a fabricated structure surrounding a naturally occurring wormhole, discovered in the year 7987AD.
Quote:
AD 4224
Warp drives for ships invented
AD 7987
The wormhole leading to the world of EVE is discovered


Just to try and add a different view on why the EVE Gate and the Discovery of EVE can be disparate in timeframe:
Warp Drives for ships are invented in AD4224, 3763 years later a traversable wormhole is naturally discovered (first of significance in relation to New Eden / Anoikis). Soon after colonisation, terrforming, planet purchases and immigration occur within New Eden / Anoikis.

Anoikis is termed as such in the Chronicle with the same name, the programmed cell death in that respect I took to mean that the area was isolated intentionally, otherwise it would be apoptosis, the EVE Gate (portal controlling access to the EVE Wormhole) seems to be out of phase, I'm pointing to the ECM surrounding it being Gravimetric in origin and being stronger and weaker in alternate years. I'm always open to healthy debate though. (Gravitrons)

Dagan is also in a chronicle called Depth of Field as well as the Sisters of EVE Epic Arc.

The main things to take note of are: Dagan flies the SoCT Cruiser, SoCT are the main competition of SoE The Sanctuary (Sanctuary want to unlock the secrets of the EVE Gate and SoCT are of Jovian origin)

Dagan is sanctioned for retrieval in Our Man Dagan after speaking to whichever faction, before Dal Segno Al Fine (final mission). He is then handed over in that mission, hence the +standings for acquiring him.



The construction of Long Range Ships has been repeated in threads often from the Present Pieces chronicle, as it relates to two components of similar functionality, older than the *current location events* in the timelines we have to go on from the EVElopedia.

Quote:
"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."


From that its pretty transparent, that ships of that size, in a transportation sense, are only as useful as the Jovian Motherships, which seems to be the Jovian flight response (huddle up, enter cryogenics chambers and leave capable pilots to fly the distance, presumably with less consumed resources while they travel). Moving a couple of thousand light years at "the speed of light" takes a couple of thousand years.

If scientific development took place in a linear fashion, the race that was able to survive the drought of resources when the EVE Gate was closed would be able to continue developing from wherever they were in the science ladder, other than other races that devolved temporarily, and those that died out as they lost the umbilical back to the already industrialised end of the EVE Wormhole.

Its brilliant, because everything read can be interpreted in any way that these threads have touched on, and more. As well as the experience of all the fiction forum readers / chron readers etc.

Also worth noting about the SoE arc, it begins with the investigation of a Tempest that has been ripped apart by an explosion, one caused by an unknown isotope that was contained in it's hold. It is surrounded by shattered Amarrian ships and the entire arc centers around the Sister's investigation into what happened. The answer is never revealed to the capsuleer participating.

But, it seems pretty clear it relates to Isogen 5... Especially considering the massive Geodes that abound in the missions, some showing orange crystals in them, some showing blue crystals in them..

Here it says:
Quote:
More advanced versions, allowing jumps into systems with no jump gates, are a bit more complex. They send out a constant barrage of high frequency neutron rays, based on the flat-space principle of trans-relativistic physics, through infinitesimal cosmic strings to scout out the destination system. This survey can last for several days before enough data is gathered to allow the ship to create a wormhole (through a resonance node of course) to the destination system.


It didn't necessarily need the slowboat'r scout, but moving large masses would require precise calculations and the most advanced jump drive New Eden has been able to record.

I've been meaning to update some of the mission briefs on the wiki and add captures of some of the relevent scenes, but, simply following leads gets to be overwhelming in itself.. Plus, I'd have to rerun the arc to get the captures..

As to the parallels I mentioned earlier;

Talocan Static Gate ----> Strange Energy Readings

Quote:
This standing structure shares many similar aspects with modern acceleration gates. Whispers among Talocan lore-keepers tell of the Talocan’s firm grasp of astronautical engineering, and this gate may offer some insight into this ancient race’s knowledge.

Quote:
Wavelength readouts suggest a large cache of a powerful isotope was once housed here, but no solid traces remain. The level of radiant antimatter can only be explained by an immense--and recent--matter displacement.



Polestar ----> Sleeper Enclave

Quote:
The central piece of this Talocan station is the Polestar, the nerve center of the complex and the heart of Talocan survival. Though dilapidated and unusable, the Polestar’s outer hull is breached in many parts. Its propulsion jets and mini-generators are destroyed and decaying. From the burn marks around the propulsion thrusters, this Polestar has been jettisoned many times as a necessary structure for a migrant culture, but in this condition the Polestar’s current location will remain its last.

Quote:
The distinctive hub-like design of this particular structure suggests that it operated as some kind of central data nexus, a shining capital amongst a digital metropolis.


Many of the Sleeper structures house this central hub into their design.. An evolution of function and design?



And a possible section of a superbubble shell, The Line..

The ability to manipulate space, and "Hypereuclidean Mathematis" - are 2 things that would be VERY VERY useful if you wanted to travel long distances, lets say using wormholes and multi-dimensional modes of travel. Hence expert navigators... Not necessarily needing "conventional" travel methods to do so. http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=30507

Well, on one hand you're saying the Talocan are older, but on the other hand you're saying Sleepers are an Architect race that laid down the infrastructure in the New Eden cluster. But the Talocan came after them into the cluster through the wormhole?

I think you're mixing things up. First, we have to agree all the races are essentially human. Source below.

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Sleepers
Quote:
The Sleepers are, as the other ancient races, descendants of humans and populated New Eden thousands of years ago before they vanished. These days the only remains of them in New Eden are ruins and strange artifacts.


Now, some of them are originated from the "Terrans", while Takhmal originated from Amarrian origins relatively recently.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Terran

Any structures from the EVE Gate on this side didn't have to be built for them to come through. It could have been built after they came through the gate to secure the Wormhole and make it "safer" to go through.

So.

The Yan Jung are the only race specifically stated to have immigrated through the wormhole due to a mission agent who is an archaeologist saying so... http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Sebast_Mathon

The Sleepers and Talocan are the bigger question mark as to "when"... along with the Jove, the Talocan, Sleepers and Yan could have co-existed while the current races "rebuilt". We have no knowledge of any humans existing in the cluster before the New Eden immigration. If you don't accept this as common fact, then we'll always disagree on something fundamental.

The Joves original settling is where the Sansha currently are, in Curse to the SouthEast. Talocan near Caldari space, Yan Jung in Deltole bear the Gallente-Minmatar border, and Sleepers in Minmatar space.

The Talocan would have probably suffered the least from the disconnection, since they were most likely to have maintained the original Stargates, and also have plenty of mentions of self-sustaining ships. Having access to all the gates and being able to travel New Eden, would have made them pretty tough to take down their society first. Also, this would coincide with your analysis that they are the "oldest" - meaning they were able to travel and lay infrastructure before others. I won't touch the Anoikis wormholes at the moment in this analysis.

The Yan Jung were probably isolating themselves, depending on how many years they survived after the fall of the Gate. Since we have heard little to nothing about them really, impossible to say for sure.

Back to the interesting one, we have the Sleepers. If they had been developing their technology separate from the Talocan as they were trying to recover, then they would have been in a good position to follow up on the progress of the Talocan. But, they could have grown side by side as well with the Talocan after a period of time.

If you want to read some Dev Bread crumbs on the matter : http://community.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1314015

The Jovians are the best at determining the time line. This presented for reference :: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/The_Jovian_Empires

So, their first empire lasted 9000 years shortly after the collapse.
The 2nd lasted about 2500 years.
The 3rd Empire is in the North as we know it and has lasted 500 years.

In the first Empire :: The previously mentioned Jovian poem describes this state as the Jovians having the power to "bent stars to their will" and their "reach was infinite".[3]

So from 8100 to around 17000 the 1st Jove Empire was doing well.

The 2nd happens around 1900-2200 or so.

And the 3rd starts just as the current Empires reform together and start to get into space, as it's 500 years old and the SOCT is formed around 300 years ago in AD 23044, so another 200 years lands us at

AD 22794
First contact between the Gallente and the Intaki
AD 22809
First contact between the Gallente and the Mannar

Around this time the Jove seem to reform their empire.

---

So, where do the Talocan and Sleepers fit into this? Are they living along side the 1st Jovian Empire when they were at their strongest? Are they rebuilt and exploring by the time the 2nd empire is well underway?

Where I am.

The Devil's Dig Site is single-handedly responsible for the great hubbub in the Okkelen constellation these last few years. If it wasn't for the discovery of artifacts from an ancient human civilization dating back to when the EVE Gate was still open, the constellation would still be a desolate, dreary place totally ignored by all but a few bandits.

Astronautics and Astrogation are two seperate beasts... Astronautic engineering has nothing to do with navigation... It has to do with independant survival in the vacuum environment of space..

Honestly, I am saying they sprang from the same source, the Architects.. Second, we do not know where the nomenclature for the ancients comes from. Do you honestly think the Takmahl called themselves that? Or is it a designation given to them by the Amarr? I have a hard time believing they called themselves "The Scriptures of Evil", or the "Evil Ones"...

The Jove are synthetics, if you don't believe that, then, no, it is likely we can find no common ground. The Jove have bloodlines, just as the other races do, not by genetic pairing through normal human copulation, they gave that up a long time ago. They engineer themselves. The Jovian Grious talks about some things that will be incorporated into the next generation in Theodicy.

For a better understanding of what the Jove are, see the Asgard of the Stargate universe..

The Asgard are no longer capable of traditional reproduction and instead perpetuate themselves through cloning, as they have the technology to upload and store Asgard consciousnesses and transfer them to new bodies.

The Devil's Dig Site is single-handedly responsible for the great hubbub in the Okkelen constellation these last few years. If it wasn't for the discovery of artifacts from an ancient human civilization dating back to when the EVE Gate was still open, the constellation would still be a desolate, dreary place totally ignored by all but a few bandits.

Astronautics and Astrogation are two seperate beasts... Astronautic engineering has nothing to do with navigation... It has to do with independant survival in the vacuum environment of space..


Why are you talking about this?

My quote is from an archeologist studying the Devil's Dig site.. It states the Talocan date back to when the Eve Gate was still open, while it doesn't say they came through the Eve Gate, you did.. You say everyone did..

You seem to be making some broad assumptions yourself.. While I don't mind, please don't berate me for doing something you yourself practice..

Astronautical Engineering is a skill book in game, I have no clue where it comes from, if it comes from Cosmos, it would tend to contradict my own ideas, but, if not, the only references to Talocan command of Astronautic Engineering comes from wormhole space.

I'm not berating you. Seriously?


I just stated that's the only hard evidence there is. We really don't know much more about the ancient races than they're descended from the people who came from the wormhole.

That's as vague as it gets really.

I work on as little conjecture as possible. Sometimes conjecture is needed to get to a position that is supported by other evidence, but that doesn't mean to fabricate whole elements just to suit an argument with no goal.

So, I'm berating? Well, I guess I'll leave this convo then. Didn't mean to offend you.
