The EVE Online universe is composed of about 8000 star systems, connected by stargates and [[wormholes]]. Ships can travel within star systems (using sub-lightspeed or warp-speed propulsion), and jump between star systems (through stargates and wormholes), but they cannot travel to any arbitrary point in space between star systems.
