The '''Jove Empire''' is located in the far "north" of New Eden, isolated from the rest of the world to all but a selected few by the lack of stargates connecting it to the rest of the cluster. The Jovians are a mystery to the other races: they are elusive and wield advanced technology, eons ahead of the other factions. | |||

Practically, the Jovian Empire has sometimes served as an in-lore explanation for actions taken by [[CCP Games]] within EVE's world. | |||

The Jovians have been civilized longer than any other race in New Eden and have gone through several golden ages, now long-since shrouded in the past. They have engaged in far more experimentation with genetic engineering than the other factions, and as a result strike others as unsettling and alien. The current Empire is far reduced from its past glories, mainly because of the Jovian Disease, a psychological disorder that is always fatal. | |||
Despite their small numbers, the surviving Jovians have significant military power thanks to their technological advantages. These advantages were made clear when they conclusively defeated an attempt by the [[Amarr Empire]] to conquer them. | |||
They have at times introduced technology to the other factions, and played a role in the emergence of the capsuleer technology that, in EVE's lore, is responsible for the existence of all of the game's players. | |||
At least judging by their appearance, the enigmatic [[Drifters]] seem to be related to the Jovians. They look like Jovians who have undergone extensive cybernetic augmentation. | |||
