Zarzakh (dotlan) is a system added shortly before the Havoc expansion that has 4 static gates to 4 systems on different cardinal directions, increasing connectivity of K-space. The system features several unique mechanics tied to its role in the Pirate Factional Warfare system.
Mechanics
The intent behind the addition of Zarzakh was to make it a sort of pirate safe haven which would be the base for the pirate-aligned players operations. Currently, there is evidence[1][2][3] that it does not serve this purpose: empire-aligned players can easily camp the system denying safe haven for pirate-aligned players.
Gates
Zarzakh is connected to
- Alsavoinon (0.3), Placid on the west
- Turnur (0.4), Metropolis on the east
- H-PA29 (-0.2), Venal on the north
- G-0Q86 (0.0), Curse on the south
Gate toll
Passing through a gate to Zarzakh incurs a prompt listing a fee to pass through the gate and asking for confirmation. The fee seems to be based on mass and starts at 10k ISK for smaller ships and presumably goes as high as 100m ISK for capitals.[4][5] The pirate-enlisted players are exempt from the fee.
Restrictions
- Capital sized ships, including freighters but not the Orca, cannot use stargates into Zarzakh.
- Bookmarks are disabled in system.
- D-Scan is disabled in system.
- Zarzakh is affected by gravity hazards, which damage ship hull when exiting the safe zone generated by Jovian structures in the system, located at the stargates, The Fulcrum, and at the Shipcaster.
- Missile based gate guns will attack any capsuleer with a retribution timer. These gate guns will target paint and ECM.
Station
The Fulcrum is a Jovian megastructure under the control of the Deathless Circle, open to any player who is not currently enlisted in Factional Warfare with an Empire Militia or has active weapons or retribution timer. While offering most of the usual services to neutral characters, some services and bonuses are only available to players or corps enlisted with the Angel Cartel or Guristas Pirates.
| Alignment | Service |
|---|---|
| Neutral | Repair, Fitting, Market, Insurance, Industry |
| Pirate Enlisted Player | Jump Cloning |
| Pirate Enlisted Corporation | Corporation Offices |
In addition, the Fulcrum has a 6% Material Efficiency bonus and a 70% Time Efficiency Bonus when manufacturing any sub-capital Angel Cartel or Guristas Pirate ship. Moreover, for pirate enlisted players, an additional bonus reduces SCC surcharge by 90%. The LP Stores for both the Angel Cartel and Guristas Pirates is also available.
Deathless Shipcaster
The system also features a shipcaster, allowing pirate-enlisted players to jump from it directly to their faction Forward Operating Base (FOB) in the current Insurgency.
Lore
Zarzakh is a system cloaked in the dust, gas and assorted other bits of matter that are being drawn towards the black hole known as "Point of No Return" to most of New Eden, and "Duzna Kah" to the Amarr. The location of Zarzakh places it deep in the void of Divinity's Edge, or "Yasna Zakh", and somewhat notably essentially at the center of the New Eden cluster by virtue of the astronomical co-ordinate system used by CONCORD. Given this system was proposed by the Jove in the early days of CONCORD, it is suggestive that the dominating features of Zarzakh are the ancient Jovian gates and the ancient Jovian outpost known as "The Fulcrum".
Etymology
Etymology of the names Zarzakh (system), Duzna (constellation) and Yasna (region) is unclear. There is a collection of versions by players available at reddit post.
