EVE Fiction

So there are quite a few planets with temperate atmospheres that can support human habitation. Would it be unrealistic to expect all these temperate planets to have high levels of technology?

I've read empyrean age where an Amarr agricultural world is inhabited by slaves who've had minimal contact with technology. They describe the drone that delivers a Vitoc Cure Canister as a 'Metal Falcon'.

Could it be possible in the EVE lore to have a temperate world untouched by technology where denizens fight amongst themselves with swords and bows or would it be more realistic to draw a minimum line of modern gun warfare across all of New Edens temperate planets.

The EVE universe is gigantic. There are still worlds where they fight with swords and bows and you said. It's described in one of the eve chronicles.
There is one that talks about a primitive sani sabik-like culture on a world on the minmatar fringe that have absolutly no advanced technology, they live in stone homes and caves.

I could be wrong, but it is probably this one link

Thanks guys, might come in handy when I write my background story.

dont forget the Minmatar worlds, with the independence there must be groups of minmatar people trying to get on their tribal life again, take a look at the Thukker for example, but on planetary scale.

I once wrote a story (for myself) about a group of Gallente settlers who were essentially "luddites" with the joke being that their technology was basically equivalent to what ours was in the mid-80s.

we still haven't thought about the possibilities of groups descendants of the ancient civilizations

Look at Battletech. You have those.

There would also be the possibility of schizo tech levels; where you would have societies with access to some tech from their relative 'future' in one field, while still being primitive in another/the rest.

This could be because their planet had once been specialized towards producing a certain product, or simply that they rest of their infrastructure had been lost/destroyed in the past. An example of the former would exist due to an abundance of resources which went into making certain high tech products like motorcycles, so you'd end up with a tribal society that had access to radios, or swords-and-bows warfare conducted with motorcycles and other mechanical vehicles instead of horses and cart, because while they have functional industry in that aspect, there has been no development in other fields simply because they were unable to understand/research other technologies that would normally complement the ones that they have.

Examples of these IRL would be like the Indonesian countryside; lots of high tech that I have seen such as cellphones and iPads, while at the same time they don't even have housing with running water; because while they have advanced infrastructure in one aspect, the others are lacking.
