Observations of Potential Origins

The Apollo Tyrannos name seems rather fitting, considering the multiple sun themes that are associated with the Sleepers. From the presence of Talocan and Sleeper enclaves at the epicenter to the Oruze Constructs and their sun inspired architecture. They often give me the impression of archaic sun dials, at least in style, but more likely function as a form of solar energy storage. Too, I've noticed that some of the combat sites which are often further from the sun show states of disrepair and or are seemingly de-powered.

I'm going to throw out a pretty wild idea that takes this a step further - the Virtual Reality simulations which the Sleepers dwell in would require massive computational power. This is a civilization who quite literally took their entire physical civilization and moved it into a digitized existence. Such a civilization, I would imagine, would want their new world, universe(s), to be as 'realistic' (given that they would be able to impose any sort of physical laws of governance upon them) as possible. Where would they find the energy and the material to do so?

So we arrive in the Shattered systems and are given a glimpse into what may be our answer.

I believe the epicenters found within are something of an event horizon, stabilized with Talocan technology to serve as a computational powerhouse where their civilizations can be stored, within the bodies of the blue giant suns. I'd like to point to - Computronium: literally programmable matter. I believe they are working towards turning the blue suns themselves into something similar - stellar-sized computers with an event horizon at its heart.

The denser the substrate to be worked with, the more processing power they'll be set to create. Neutronium fits the bill, which is an extremely dense state of matter theorized to be present within the center of neutron stars. Neutron stars are stars which have suffered gravitational collapse and or have gone supernova - much like we see in the Shattered systems.

Pssst.....you'd have better luck in Eve Fiction or Intergalactic Summit.....probably Fiction would be best....

I don't think the Mythology is entirely lost. That's one of the great things about mythos, they live on in stories. The original meanings may have been lost but many of the associations are still relevant, especially in ship naming conventions (looking at Gallente), symbols (the Gallente, again).

Still, it's a good point to make and who knows how they might be interpreting it. The Sleepers are one of the oldest civilizations in New Eden and, potentially, the civilization with the most preserved historical detail of the events during the time of the EVE Gate destruction and may even carry a significant heritage knowledge of Terra thanks to their civilization existing in a virtual state.

First, welcome to EvE! Second, don't be to hard on yourself. Our forum is a bewildering place one can easily get lost in....

That said, this thread has been moved to EVE Fiction.
