New Eden: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

New Eden is a loosely-bound cluster of stars approximately 106 light years long, 90 light years wide, and 25 light years thick. The cluster contains 5,433 star systems with stargate connections, though there exist significantly more stars and stellar remnants with no gate connections. Because stargates are almost exclusively deployed in star systems with orbital bodies, every accessible star system within New Eden has at least one planet. It similarly contains many black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs, but these have also been mostly left unconnected to the stargate system. The cluster is relatively densely packed, with the average system having at least one neighbor less than a light year away from it. It is composed of stars of all stellar classifications and ages.

When looking at charted star maps, explorers often notice a filamentary structure to the cluster, especially at its edges. This leads some to believe that there are massive voids of stars within the cluster, but this is only partly true. Many of these gaps are filled with stars which have simply not been connected to the rest of the cluster through stargates. Such gaps are occasionally “filled in”, most recently when the [[~~Caldari|~~Caldari State]] opened several connecting gates to [[Black Rise]]. Some voids are actually devoid of stars, such as Divinity's Edge, or are in the midst of heavy stellar formation, such as with the Vapor Sea.

The Amarr, meanwhile, slowly began exploring space, eventually coming into contact with several other surviving civilizations, beginning with the primitive Ealur in 21432 AD. They continued to expand over the centuries, encountering and conquering the Ni-Kunni a thousand years ago, then the [[Minmatar Republic|Minmatar]] in 22480 AD.

In 23508, they finally discovered the [[warp|warp drive]], enabling them to expand at a much more rapid space. This enabled them to meet the [[Gallente Federation]], [[Caldari State]], and Jove within a short space of time in 23180 AD. Though the Amarr judged the Gallente too powerful to attempt to conquer, they believed the Jove to be vulnerable. They attacked the Jove in 23216 AD at the Battle of Vak'Atioth and were soundly defeated. Shortly after, the [[Minmatar]] rebelled and cast the Empire out.

The Empire spent the next several decades recovering and have adopted a more peaceful stance toward the rest of the cluster.
