EVE Fiction

Greetings, fellow Capsuleers.

Since I really like humanitarian organizations, I kind of fiddle with the thought of creating a new character that is not only actively doing work for the SoE (missions), but who also carries the title of "Sister" in her name.

I am aware that the SoE do not like the capsuleers at all, but they still work together with some of them.

So what I was thinking is something along this line:

- X is a civilian and occasionally does planet-side work for the Sisters of EVE (Red Cross / Doctors without borders / NGO kind of ways).

- X likes very much to work with the Sisters and decided to officially join them.

- Eventually she thinks about becoming a capsuleer (I am aware of how the Capsuleer training works (EVE Source)), as she could do even more impactful work for the Sisters in this way.

Now, again, I am aware that the SoE dislike capsuleers, but if it is one of their own, maybe it's different?

In this case they know for sure that the moral and ethics of X are sound. The "god like power" of being a capsuleer would not be abused by X. Instead she would use that power to do good (as Sister Alitura wants it to be, for example).

So, would it be possible to be a "Sister" and still become a capsuleer?
And: does X need to believe in God in order to become a Sister, or is that not mandatory?

Thank you kindly for the replies and information in advance.

Thank you very much for your reply. Much appreciated!

As to your reply about the religious bend:

What made me ask this question is the description of the Sisters of EVE headquarters, which reads...

"The Sisters of EVE are mainly known for their humanitarian aid efforts to those suffering because of war, famine or even just being lost in space. But the Sisters of EVE base their existence on strong religious beliefs, which they have coupled with scientific facts. They believe that the EVE gate is a gateway to heaven - that god resides on the other side of the gate. As well as dedicating themselves to aiding those in need they are also busy with scientific experiments around the EVE gate, hoping to gain a better understanding of the forces at work there."

That "non-believers" work in the SoE organization is known, as also seen in the "The Burning Life" EVE novel.
However, I was unable to find any information on what is actually required to not only work for the SoE, but to actually become a "Sister".
That title, in combination with the religious SoE background makes it almost seem as if that is a religious / spiritual title. That, however, is just guess-work on my side as I could not find any official information on this so far.

Thank you, once again, for your reply. I did find your post interesting and it made sense, indeed.

Since there seems to be no official information to my two questions, I will take the opportunity and make my SoE / Sisters-Capsuleer idea come true.
Normally I dislike very much if there is information in the Lore missing, but this time it seems to work in my favour.

From the looks of it, there is enough wiggle-room in the Lore to make X become a Capsuleer while carrying the title of "Sister" at the same time. Your idea for that title being more about devotion to the humanitarian / spiritual cause is quite nice; and, I think, reasonable enough.

Thanks for reading and replying.

Sisters of EVE are searching for answers within EVE gate. For me their religion looks like it have characteristics of panentheism and gnosticism.

God is not eqivalent to universe, but surpasses it, and Gate is the way to discover Him.

That idea may arise from the fact that EVE Gate is a very mysterious object. Existence of it when it was stil open, and closing of it were as much mysterious.

I dont think they despise all capsuleers. They are very cautious when dealing with them. Why they would outsource all the errands to them? I think they give them occasions to get some points in Sisters and maybe in God eyes, helping to do good in New Eden.
