m →The Death of a Wormhole: Clear link. Fix typo's |
Clarificatory opening paragraphs. Shifted some historical info to a new 'History' section--this is apparently one of the pages linked by Eve Academy, so my thinking is that the beginning should be as clear as possible. |

'''Wormholes''' | '''Wormholes''' are rifts in space that connect two star systems. Like stargates, they allow the travel of ships from one star system to another, but unlike stargates, wormholes are not permanent. They connect two systems for only a short time and collapse when either their lifespan ends or too many ships have passed through them. | ||
Wormholes can connect any two systems regardless of distance from each other, providing temporary shortcuts to areas that would otherwise take many jumps to reach. Wormholes can also connect to uncharted space, or the Anoikis galaxy (henceforth referred to as [[Wormhole_Space|Wormhole Space]], W-Space, or J-Space); these systems are uncharted, and do not operate like normal systems. | |||
There are a few special types of wormhole: one massive wormhole system with stations, [[Thera]], and [[Shattered Wormhole Space|shattered wormholes]], mysterious spaces which cannot have any residents. Furthermore, the mysterious [[Drifters]] have some connection to five [[Drifters#Drifters Wormhole Systems|Drifter wormhole]] systems that are marked from known space with a "unidentified wormhole" beacon. | |||
