EVE Fiction

Decrypted Research Paper 2

The Jove

For years I hid myself, not knowing how to solve the problems of this world.
It is horrid.

Even now, when I am no longer my complete self, the sadness has not gone away. The memories are still there.

They have to have an answer.
What are they waiting for us to do?

Peace is out there. Yet here, we squabble over nothing.

Nothing. Immortality is a curse; It is wasted for combat, not knowledge and wisdom.

YC105-12-22 - Give them tools and they may evolve.

Crielere project’s technological advances were unveiled and made freely available to the public

YC106-03-11 - Give them symbols and they may stagnate.

Khumaak issue came to a head, with the Republic Parliament eventually adopting a compromise measure providing for the symbol to remain sanctioned for display on fleet, military and state apparel but banned from display at state occasions, particularly those involving contact with representatives of the Amarr Empire. In general, the entire move to ban the Khumaak was felt to have backfired, as it started a widely-adopted fashion of wearing the object among Minmatar in the Republic.

YC107-07-05 - ...recommend discarding current primary node for that model.

could the Jove have been behind the assassination of Emperor DORIAM II? with him being they "primary node" for the Amarr.

Addition Data On File 2

The consistent theme of progression in these "steps" is the rising prominence, influence, power and notoriety of capsuleers throughout the cluster and the decentralization of power.

EDIT: Another consistent theme is the shifting of power within the cluster and the seeming systemic change of influence as well as changes within governments and a dramatic shift in national agendas following these changes.

These observatories have been around for centuries, and the absolute lower limit on the length of their observation is 232 years. The mention of the Azbel-Wuthrich experiment give us a firm date by which to compare YC with the dating system that the Jovians use, henceforth referred to as JC (Jovian Calendar). For reference, YC Year 117 correlates with JC Year 23353. This places the Yoiul Conference and thus the establishment of YC 0 on JC Year 23236.

Now, JC 23121 (232 years ago) is the absolute lowest possible bound on Jovian observation of the Gallente. However, if you give the relevant section a read...

... it becomes quite clear from the wording that the Jovians have been observing the Gallente for a while beforehand, as this is an "updated" status - not the first impression the Jovians had of them. It will also no doubt be obvious that JC 23121 coincides with 1702 AR (Age of Rouvenor) - the founding year of the Gallente Federation.

JC 23216 is also an important year - it's both the year of the Battle of Vak'Atioth and, subsequently, the year of the Minmatar Rebellion. I've seen scattered references to Diemnon Planetismal in the history of the Minmatar Rebellion but I'm sure Matari and Amarrian historians know more about it than I do.

A few relevant dates:

Circa JC 8000 - Approximate time of the prophet Dano Gheinok, the oldest human being whose existence can reliably be demonstrated. This is a ballpark estimate based on information available in public Theology Council archives.

JC 16470 - Crowning of Amash-Akura as the first Amarrian Emperor.

JC 17453 - Foundation of the Raata Empire on Caldari Prime.

JC 21290 - Amarr Empire builds their first stargate.

JC 21714 - Doule dos Rouvenor II establishes the Age of Rouvenor calendar.

JC 22355 - First contact between Amarr Empire and the Minmatar Tribes - i.e. Day of Darkness.

JC 22517 - First contact between the Gallente and the Caldari.

JC 22794 - First contact between the Gallente and the Intaki.

JC 22821 - Sotiyo-Urbaata drive built.

JC 23121 - Founding of the Gallente Federation.

JC 23154 - Caldari State secedes from the Gallente Federation.

JC 23155 - Gallente-Caldari war begins.

JC 23216 - Battle of Vak'Atioth and the Minmatar Rebellion.

JC 23236 - Yoiul Conference, YC calendar begins.

JC 23353 - Current date.

I've got some commentary on the calendar in a bit.


CONTINUED --
We're in JC 23353, which indicates that the Jovian Calendar dates back a very, very long time. We always suspected that they were an old civilization, but now we can be certain of it - they have (or at least had) access to historical records dating back thousands of years. But in particular, there's something remarkably interesting about the era around 15,000 years ago, or thereabouts - circa JC 8000.

Something very, very drastic happened to the atmosphere and soil tables of Caldari Prime at around this time. Since we discovered the science of terraforming, it was almost universally accepted that Caldari Prime was not originally habitable to humans (let's skip the "I wasn't aware it was habitable now!" jokes - we've heard them all before). Caldari Prime has almost no fossil record and a completely different geological history beyond 15,000 - 20,000 years ago; there's some margin for error in there, but it's clear that whatever happened happened very recently on a geological timescale. Soil samples from strata dated 50,000 years ago indicate there's no possible way the air could have been breathable back then, and atmospheres don't just suddenly change from icy, choking death to harsh, chilly but livable in the space of a couple of dozen milenia.

You see this pattern repeated all across New Eden - planets on the extreme edges of habitable zones, or planets way outside them that don't have fossil records or any suggestion of historical habitability beyond a few thousand years. There's also incredible genetic similarity between a few select species that we find throughout New Eden, but with the majority, there isn't.

What else happened round about 15,000 years ago? All of the ancient jump-gates were built very quickly in a 100-150 year period. Take that with the geological records and boom. We have a colonisation rush, just like we saw with the expansion of the Gallente, Caldari and Intaki a few hundred years ago.

What does this mean about the Jovian calendar? Well, only that it seems to predate the probable beginnings of human settlement in the New Eden cluster by roughly eight thousand years.

---

If the Jove have records from 15000 years ago doesn't that place those records just after the collapse of the EvE gate? If those records are from Jove observatories that would surely make the Jove the immediate descendents (if not simply renamed) Terrans?

There we pass even deeper into the realm of speculation and guesswork, I'm afraid.

So......Half Life 3 confirmed?

Hmm... This was rather interesting. Mind if I save a copy to a local datadrive for ease of review later?

This information is public domain. The search for truth should not be hoarded.

Yes. It is mythical, and my idea was, now that this is no longer in the IC fourm, was that as far as I have seen, the idea of it is indeed mythical, but I figured perhaps the name is still floating about as is general data from the Sol system. I do know that most at this point, at least for the capsuleers who even care up to that point, is that they are not even sure if Earth existed.

Honestly, I'm surprised (In game) that lore wise we haven't been able to decrypt some of the Jove information, as they have been around since the Eve Gate collapse and would surely still have some historical knowledge about the origin's of the human race.

Alas, we'll see where it goes.

I've already pissed off enough people in systems near Jove territory. Might have to make a toon who isn't in an alliance just so I can dig around. Politics is getting in the way of my discovery.
