===Cynosural Fields===

''Cynosure'' (say "SIGH no sure") is a little-used word. It means a guide, or a person or thing that draws attention towards itself. It was once the name of the North Star, ~~which is~~ very appropriate ~~given~~ the ~~nature of~~ cynosural fields in New Eden.

''Cynosure'' (say "SIGH no sure") is a little-used word. It means a guide, or a person or thing that draws attention towards itself. It was once the name of the North Star, making it a very appropriate name to give to the cynosural fields of New Eden.

In order to jump, a jump drive must first lock onto a cynosural field, or "cyno", at its destination. These fields can be produced either by the Cynosural Field Generator modules, or the [[POS_Structures#Cynosural_Generator_Array|Cynosural Generator Array]], which can be anchored at a POS. Both the module and the array can only generate a cynosural field in systems with a security of 0.4 or below, so if a ship can't use a stargate, it cannot enter high security space.
