EVE Fiction

yeah.....

So I got one of the 'come back to eve' emails for one of my inactive accts a few days ago and noticed that the first line in the advert says "Malfunctioning jump gates, shattered star systems, and suspicious Sanctuary stations in Thera."

What do you mean by "Malfunctioning jump gates"? I have searched around and haven't found the phrase anywhere.....at least nothing that stands out....but it did get me and a few of us here thinking.

So Sansha moved to Cobalt edge the day this star showed up? Maybe he moved because the event would have effected his wormhole generation tech. If that happened then no more incursions. If the event is capable of disturbing Sansha's wormhole generator then maybe it can distrub jumpgates as well. Are they just localized wormhole generators?

I guess this means....if we are right, that some jumpgates should just stop working at some point in the future.


Well that's our tinfoil hat conclusion. Im pretty busy, so someone probably has already posted this theory weeks ago. I just haven't seen it yet.

Picked up the EVE SOURCE Book.

Jumpgates are wormhole generators. Obviously the gates work in pairs. Sansha does use, basicly, the same tech. That is from the Star Gate Tech section of the book.

Also, when the original Eve Gate collasped 16K years ago it, appreantly, knocked out all the jumpgates that existed in New Eden at the time of its collaspe. I wasn't clear that we had jumpgates originally....so this sets up the idea that a catastrophic Time/Space event can seriously impact gate operation. What we dont know is what the range of the effect actually is or how far the original jumpgates where from the event horizon.

Sleepers have shown a great deal of interest in jumpgates themselves. Perhaps they are interested in Jumpgate tech?

Jovians come in 2 flavors; The Modifiers and The Statics. There is a sub-group of The Statics called "The Statsis People". There are three interesting things about the The Statsis People. They are discribed as having "mastery of cryostasis technology and the use of virtual environments has led to thier taking on a role as important keepers of much knowledge that would otherwise bave been lost to the Third Empire."

The book describes The Stasis People as being very "against genectic modification, even minor changes." During the Third Empire the Jovian Directorate discovered that "The majority of Stasis People enclaves were simply missing, with no physical traces left at all, and in all cases the remaining enclaves were were those in the moderate wing of he faction"

My interpretation of 'moderate' would be those members of the Statsis People who saw the Jovian Disease as a sort of writing on the wall and left the Jovin Empire entirely. Keep in mind not even the Jove could find them and this is roughly 150-300 years prior to our first contact with the Jovians. If they had moved to another part of New Eden we probably would have seen them earlier than we did. It could be said the only reason the Jovians made first contact was due to thier search for the missing enclaves.

So cryo, virtual realities and pontenial archives of information. It shouldn't be a far leap to call The Statis People and what we call Sleepers one and the same. Afterall, the tech to create us as immortals originated with the Jovians. Our next two varieties of immortals are derived from Sleeper technology. It only makes sense that the Sleepers are, at the very least, a subfaction of the Jovian Stasis People who disappeared prior to first contact. Keep in mind we have been farming them and thier resources for some time. People who have lived in w-space might find they have standing with the Jovian Empire even though they have personally not had contact with the Empire. This might be due to actions taken by those pilots that the Jovians see as favorable or against what they might consider a rogue element living in w-space, The Statsis People.

So........

When people say that the Jovian are dead and people say that the Jovians are returning.....they might both be correct. If the main body of the Jovian Empire and The Statsis people are at odds then perhaps the event in Jove space does mark the end of Jovian Empire in New Eden. In turn, The Statsis People are returning to New Eden now that the main Jove Empire isn't around anymore. Given our treatment of The Sleepers I wouldn't imagine we are on thier collective good side. A good way to stir things up would be to attack our jumpgates. Granted, that does nothing about pilots already living in w-space currently.

Just some thoughts

I noticed moments before downtime that not all of the Jovian gates are inactive. There are thirteen systems, in two isolated groups - a group of seven and a group of eight - that are still shown as online.

So perhaps SLA116 - Caroline's Star - did in fact knock out the gates, but only within a radius. From what I can tell, these 13 systems are on the far edge of Jove space.

Whats the Seylin event.
