Intergalactic Summit

This is fascinating!

Take readings of some of the New Eden systems, noting the relation to neighboring stars (preferably young, cooler ones with a long life-expectancy) such as distance, age and movement along the galactic plane then calculate their positions along a time-line accounting for galactic rotation, then all you have to do is go back to the matching Anoikis system, find those stars and you'll have your date and irrefutable proof! You can back that up with data on the estimated age and progression of the Eden/Anoikis stars. Check to see how much of reduction there is in the amount of say, hydrogen a younger star is burning, then go to the counterpart and see how much less there is and you'll be able to estimate the time differential!


Wait...does that mean we're the Drifters too?

Very very interesting. This matches a hypothesis I've had for years but didn't gather enough data to prove. The primary reason I discarded the theory was that none of the k space systems I was evaluating seemed to have a sufficient match although others did. Do you have matches for any of the previously known shattered systems (e.g. Seyllin)?

I'm also not sure I agree with your time travel conclusion - I would lean more toward a parallel or out of phase model.

Thats kind of an understatement.

If this is true, and from the information its likely it is, this will change the face of New Eden forever.

It's clear. Currently we're living within a historical simulation designed to trace the events that lead to the current state of Anoikis.

Does this affect where statics spawn?

So. 100% of unshattered W-Space systems have a match in star type, and planet types sequentially, in known space? With maximum variation in orbit size of under... 5%? 8%? And other planetary factors such as size, escape velocity, etc, largely matching as well? In 100% of cases?

And completely understood on demurring on questions. The autopsy team did likewise, as they were subject to an apparent bombardment of both bitter recriminations and fandom.

100% of cases, perfect match, minor changes of planet type. One of these is not like the other. By minor variation of planet type, is this-- 5% of planet classes not matching? 20%? 50%? While planet order, size, and other composition including moon count remain the same?

Time travel seems a very large leap, given our current understanding of physics. If we discount the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the result. To that end, the close similarity of the systems suggests a much more chilling, yet similarly monumental scale of revelation. J-space was created by some entity for the purpose of planning a galactic invasion.

Yes, there is the massive costs and astronomical, no pun intended, scale of materials needed. But consider this. To launch an invasion, you begin by simulating your field of battle. Often on a simplified scale or dimension, hence a flattened galactic plane. Next, you send your troops to begin exercises in the field, learning the lay of the land, and how to use the environment to your advantage. There has been a sleeper presence, which I believe is VR, in J-space since their discovery. Using drones to simulate the soldiers on the field, either in battle or training is nothing new. Finally, once the commanders are confident in their battle plans, they begin establishing beachheads in preparation for a full out assault. This is the drifter presence we see now. And ties in with the video feed of the fleet of drifters.

I don't want to speculate what sort of mind would create a copy of new eden for the express purpose of using said copy as a training area, but if true, this planning has been going on for a very long time, long enough for minor perturbations to amplify over time, causing a difference in orbits and global environmental shifts, barren to temperate for example.

If you can create star systems, why would you need to invade new ones? Building them just to simulate invading them is simply not cost efficient.

Exactly. What remains is however shocking, whatever the truth turns out to be. Wormholes to a galaxy that just happens to connect to systems that have almost exact matches to our own? Thats too much of a coincidence for me to discount time travel/parallel universe idea. Nothing else really explains it. One thing we could do is try to see where the shattered wormhole systems parallel to (im betting near carolines star) , and where in the j space the eve gate wound up.
