Hey, how ya doing;

The Battle of Vak'Atioth:

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/The_Battle_of_Vak%27Atioth_(Chronicle)

Excerpt:

The Matari chose this moment to rebel against their Amarrian masters. Uncannily well equipped for slaves and high on morale, they proved more than a match for their demoralized Amarrian captors. Faced with losing their grip on the Minmatar, the Amarrians had no choice but to redirect their entire military force to the home front to handle the rebelling slaves. To this day, rumours circulate that the Gallentean Federation secretly outfitted the rebels with weapons, ships and supplies.

The above is used as a timeframe against this excerpt from the Sanctum Psychosis description:

Long before the Rebellion, while the constellation was still home of the Nefantar tribe...

Might have been anti-climactic but it does evidence the presence of Sanctum Psychosis during "Jovian times" and, by default, before.

Thank you, Borascus and Morwen.

Reading the Book of EvE very recently, I failed to connect any of this info. Haven't yet read Templar One.

Will ask another Ani nut who is doing the bulk of the work, for further clarification -may need to pick your brains one more time, if that's alright with you

Regards.

Greetings all,
I apologise Borascus, but I must disagree with you

"Long before the Rebellion, while the constellation was still home of the Nefantar tribe..."

The Ani constellation was the home of the Nefantar from its colonisation by the Minmatar, long before the Amarr arrived in AD 22355, until they were finally driven out during the Minmatar rebelion in AD 23216, 861 years later.

Sanctum Psychosis must have been built during this later period as it is definitely of Amarrian design, specifically an Amarr Military Station. It is identical to the Lord Bastion station in the Hjoramold system built during the rebellion.
Your comment about similarities between w-space structures and those in Ani intrigued me. I think the structure you are refering to is the Hyperbole Nexus.



This discovery was made during the occupation, so assuming that the phenomenon at the centre was the only thing there at the start, its concentric rings must have been added later by either the Amarr or the Nefantar.

There are drone structures near Hjoramold XII moon 1 and XIII, and they do bear a striking resemblance to sleeper structures, but these are not unique to the Ani constellation I believe.

All remaining structures in Ani are either of Minmatar, Amarr, Gallente, or other human in design.

However, there are rumors that relics of a pre-Minmatar human civilisation were being invesigated at the Nefantar research facilities in the Hjoramold system during the occupation, so who knows what they may have discovered.

I have been leaning recently toward the Nefantar Wanderers, or a group thereof, being the source of the Talocan presence in Anoikis.. There is some circumstantial evidence toward this.. Given that the Nefantar might have had knowledge of Anoikis, their presence in Ani and their subsequent defeat by the Amarr, they could be a source of the Amarr's seemingly more intimate knowledge of Anoikis..

Lore also tells us the early Minmatar had travel techniques similar to our modern gate tech.. Reflected in the Talocan Static Gates? Lore also tells us the Enhuadanni use the lesser races as manpower in their scheming.

The Nefantar cathedral ships also hint at the Nefantar's possible embrace of the Reclaiming, a theme that is concurrent with the Talocan Exchange Depots..

Knowing how the Jovians feel about Amarr culture, how would the early Jovians react to a group trying to "Reclaim" them?

It also begs the questions; What technologies might the Thukkers be hiding in the Great Wildlands? Where did the Minmatar Elders acquire the technology to overcome Concord? Some of the Matari Tribes hint at Native American roots, linking them intimately to the Talocan, if the inspiration is Tlaloc and not Talos...

Going out on a limb, the nomenclature and teleological evidence puts the Sleepers as more in line ideologically with the Gallente and the Minmatar.. Take for instance, the Argos sentry guns, obviously Greek inspired by their names, more inline with the Gallente's naming conventions..

Do the current Jovians dislike the Gallente because they foresee, via Semiotic Theory, the possibility that in the future the Gallente are likely to advance in the same direction as the Sleepers did?

Finally, it is hinted in the lore, that the Matari were years ahead of everyone else, early on, in travel techniques and astronautics. Were it not for the Amarrian occupation, who knows what the Matari might have achieved in the field.. Perhaps the early Jovians assimilated this technology from the Talocan, and that is why they have a seperate database of their technological endeavors in the Mirror..

Pareidolia.


Edit: The irony of both welsh and nefantar in the same sentence would have been overwhelming a couple of years ago.
