== New Eden system ==

The gate, although three light years away from New Eden's star, can be seen brightly in the sky of the New Eden system. At this distance, it would take several years of high-speed travel to reach. A sole planet, New Eden I, orbits around the small yellow star of the system. The only entry into the system is a star gate to the Promised Land system. Occasionally, capsuleers will anchor cargo containers to mark their [[~~Eve~~ Gate Pilgrimage|pilgrimage]] to the gate.

== History ==

In 7703 A.D. the wormhole opened, and in 7987 A.D. colonization of EVE became possible. Mega-corporations, religious factions and ethnic groups quickly begin colonization of the New Eden cluster, founding several hundred small colonies. However, ~~at some point~~ the gate collapsed, severing the connection between the colonies and the homeworlds which sustained them, bringing a dark age upon the people in the surviving colonies and an ensuing chaos which caused millions more to perish.

However, in 8061 A.D. the gate collapsed, severing the connection between the colonies and the homeworlds which sustained them, bringing a dark age upon the people in the surviving colonies and an ensuing chaos which caused millions more to perish.

During their interstellar expansion, the [[Amarr Empire]] was the first colony to rediscover the EVE Gate, claiming both the region of Genesis and the Gate as their own. To them, as to many in EVE, the gate is a place of religious significance. Unfortunately, the region surrounding the ~~Eve~~ Gate is still lawless, and is inhabited by several groups of pirates, both faction and capsuleer. It is rumored that the wrecks of the many ships which were destroyed during the final days still float in the void around the gate. The lack of wreckage detected by scanners has not culled the speculation; some say that the ancient vessels have been cloaked by the [[Jove]] to prevent advanced technology from falling into the wrong hands.

In 23346 A.D. a bright star appeared to the EVE cluster. The mysterious "Star in the North" is speculated to be the closing of the EVE Gate in the Milky Way galaxy. However, several capsuleer scientists have dismissed this claim, given that any light travelling from such a distant location would undoubtedly require more than ~20,000 years to arrive here. In late November of that same year, the star disappeared from the sky without explanation.
