EVE Fiction

Oh, I thought you had stopped playing. Nice to be proven wrong.

And thanks for the new pdf, of course.

How are you going to merge it with the Arek'Jaalan pages on the Wiki that will be approved by CCP

While I won't due to time constraints everyone is more than welcome to quote the document or use it as reference in their own work.

Very interesting read...took me a while but I read everything lol. Anyways one thing you mentioned caught my eye. You said that when the nation staged an attack in the Taisy solar system they took an unkown substance from the moon. I recently ran across an interesting item in the database that might be what was taken from that moon.

That item was:

Quantrium Wiring


There is also an item called Spools of Quantrium Wiring...but anyways just thought I'd mention that. Originally I thought that the item might just be from a mission but it hasn't turned up on any searches for missions.

Anyways keep up the excellent work...that whole article blew my mind so excellent is the best word I can come up w/ atm lol...

Wow! A labour of love and a tour de force. I've skim read it over an hour or so and the elegant way it draws together so many different strings of lore and mystery is a wonder to behold. I'm very much looking forward to reading it in full, keep up the good work!

One think that occured to me to mention was this from the Amazon page for the new Eve novel: Templar 1

“There will be neither compassion nor mercy;
Nor peace, nor solace
For those who bear witness to these Signs
And still do not believe."

Book of Reclaiming 25:10

New Eden: the celestial battleground of a catastrophic war that has claimed countless lives.

The immortal starship captains spearheading this epic conflict continue their unstoppable dominance, shaping the universe to their will and ensuring a bloody, everlasting stalemate.

But a powerful empire is on the verge of a breakthrough that could end the war and secure their rule over mankind forever. For deep in a prison reclamation camp, a secret program is underway...one that will unlock dangerous secrets of New Eden’s past.

It all begins with inmate 487980-A . . . Templar One.

Prepare for DUST 514.

Seems to back up your theory in your work that Sansha/Sleeper technology will be used in the cloning of Dust 514 troops.

Thanks to Messrs Datloran, Antares, and Turate for their contributions. These have been noted for addition to the next version.

Jowen, you are quite right the source does not state that the artefacts were Yan Jung in origin merely that they dated to the Late Yan Jung Era. This shall be corrected. The only known factions at this time, over 14,000 years ago, were the Yan Jung and the First Jovian Empire. The Talocan may have existed simultaneously or may have risen and fallen before this period. Other factions may have existed at the time, descended from the various corporations which migrated through EVE. Amongst these are Indocon and Europa Yards Consortium, though they themselves may be the ancestors of the prominent factions present at the time.

The Yan Jung are known to have colonised Deltole and the Sleepers were, according to mounting evidence, the First Jovian Empire whose territory extended to Detorid. The dead storms in Detorid and reduction in habitability of Deltole V and VI may suggest this era saw conflict between the factions of the time. The neighbouring COSMOS constellations may further support the idea of these two factions being involved in conflict. Whether the Yan Jung and Sleepers were at war with each other, or were allies against another faction or factions is as yet unknown. Alternatively internal, philosphical, or other forms of conflict may have caused the lasting destruction.

The whole thing begs the question that if the Sleepers were around in this era, and were the First Jovian Empire, what happened to them. The First Empire lasted for nearly ten thousand years before it's fall, how does this fit in with what we see of the Sleepers in w-space? How did they go from this relatively low level of technology to their fall thousands of years later. More importantly why did it take them so long to fall given the dangerous technologies they were apparently researching in their early centuries. I find the span of the First Jovian Empires time to be something that doesn't quite fit in with... anything. All one can assume is that either there is a lot we haven't been told, or that we are wrong in our assumptions.

All this avoiding speculation on how possible Jovian relics on the Minmatar homeworld fits in with The Orders manipulation at Eanna, the Sefrims manipulation of the Amarr, and the involvement of a group with advanced infomorph technology and knowledge of ancient relics in the rise of Jamyl Sarum.

Hm, we have no good leads on when the Sleepers inhabited the Ani constellation?

Regarding your "presence in the dark" chapter you may want to look into the DUST 514 Chronicles http://www.dust514.com/en/chronicles/

There are numerous mentions of a shadow figure / presence

for example in part 8

Contributions have been added in but there isn't really enough here to release a new version.

The most notable discovery of late is the new Neural Boosters article on the evelopedia.

Comparing this to The Vitoc Problem and what is known of the Jovian Disease suggests that the virus involved may have been intended as a booster which evolved into a retro-virus and became the downfall of the Jovians.

Both of these articles escaped my attention for some time and I'd like to request that anyone finding new official evelopedia pages, regardless whether or not they at first appear related, post links to them within this thread.

Quite right. Been so long since I read through it that I believed it had been re-written when it was recently posted to EVEs facebok page.
