New Eden: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''New Eden''' is the name for the star cluster which is inhabited by the human race. The term is colloquial in nature, as the name is alternately applied to every star system in the galactic neighborhood, only those that have been explored and cataloged by humans, or solely those which are currently connected by working [[stargate]] networks. In common usage, the last definition is most frequently meant, and is the definition used in this article.

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 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.

==History==

Line 51:

In 23155 AD, the Gallente discovered several secret Caldari colonies. Because the colonies had not been established according to Federation law, the Gallente attempted to penalize the Caldari. This eventually escalated, with the Caldari withdrawing from the Federation. A Caldari terrorist cell sabotaged a dome of the underwater Gallente city Nouvelle Rouvenor, killing half a million people.

A fascist government took power in the Federation following the attack, which began military operations against the Caldari. As the Caldari evacuated their homeworld, the Federation planned a large assault on the planet. In order to delay them, a detachment of the Caldari fleet attacked the [[Federation Navy]], and engaged in hit-and-run strikes. When the fleet was too damaged to continue, they ran one last suicide mission, crashing their carrier into Gallente Prime, an act which killed two million people in the city of Hueromont.

The two sides fought to a protracted draw, with each side gaining temporary advantages, only to see them eventually vanish. The Caldari developed fighters, only for the Gallente to counter with drone technology. The Caldari then gained the capsule from the Jove, while both nations developed the Titan. The two sides fought the second-largest battle in history at the Battle of Iyen-Oursta, which inflicted heavy casualties to both.

After nearly a century of conflict, both sides had become exhausted by the simmering war. They eventually signed a peace treaty in 23248 AD.

====Minmatar Republic====

The Minmatar discovered space flight in 21413 AD, and spent the next several centuries exploring and colonizing. Unlike the other races, they did not construct their own stargates. Instead, they found several still-working gates and used them to expand across three systems. They also developed a unique form of faster-than-light travel that was only later copied by the other races, the acceleration gate.

The Minmatar spent the next several centuries living in peace and prosperity. Unlike the other nations, they felt no need to expand beyond their limited reach. This proved to be to their detriment, as the Amarr discovered them and invaded in 22355 AD. Technologically superior to the Minmatar, the Amarr were able to cripple the Minmatar defenses and enslaved millions in an event known as the Day of Darkness. Over the following centuries, the majority of the Minmatar would be enslaved by the Empire.
