The EVE Gate is a giant | The '''EVE Gate''' is a giant [[stargate|jump gate]], located in the [[New Eden]] system in the Genesis region. It is said to have connected to a gigantic, once passable [[wormhole]] that linked humanity to its origin star system, where [[Earth]] is believed to be located. Surrounded by a strong magnetic field, ship travel is impossible close to the celestial object, and the now unstable wormhole is impassable. According to legend, the gate originated in the Milky Way galaxy and was the source of all human life in the EVE cluster. Its collapse caused the worst disaster in New Eden’s history, cutting off access between the small human colonies of New Eden and the mother galaxy, plunging the colonies into a dark age from which they are only just beginning to emerge. | ||

Mega-corporations, religious factions and ethnic groups quickly begin colonization of the New Eden cluster, founding several hundred small colonies. 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. | 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.

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 23346 A.D. a bright star appeared to the EVE cluster.

In late November of that same year, the star disappeared from the sky without explanation. | ||

Due to its mysterious nature, the EVE Gate is referenced in a number of theories, conspiracies, and legends in New Eden's history. In Y109 a massive light source, bright enough to be seen throughout New Eden was observed by the population. Lasting for several weeks, the light vanished as quickly as it had appeared. Popular opinion holds that this "bootini star" was actually the light from the EVE Gate's collapse in the ancient home of New Eden's colonists, finally reaching their children's eyes. Scientists were quick to dismiss this notion based on their calculations of the theorized distance to the ancient homeland and the estimated passage of time, but some still choose to believe that the bootini star was their brush with ancient history. They theorize that the EVE Gate may have moved the ancient colonists through time as well as space, or that New Eden itself moves on a different timescale. The truth may never be revealed. | Due to its mysterious nature, the EVE Gate is referenced in a number of theories, conspiracies, and legends in New Eden's history.
