In the late 24th century AD, the fate of humanity was decided with the unprecedented discovery of a natural wormhole: A celestial portal traversing immense swaths of time and space, leading to a pristine but unknown region of the universe. Our ancestors named this portal “EVE”, and the solar system on its far side was christened “New Eden”. Lured by its stunning beauty and vast resources, settlers ventured to this paradise by the millions. These were times of great hope and promise, and the presumed start of an era defined by peace and prosperity. But in a cruel twist of fate, the wormhole leading to New Eden suddenly collapsed, severing the colonists from their home worlds. As knowledge of the technologies that had sustained them slowly eroded, the settlers descended into a dark age that would last for thousands of years. In time, with the memory of Earth lost forever, the sciences that enabled interstellar travel were gradually rediscovered. Civilization reemerged as four dominant nation-states, each comprised of its own distinct bloodlines: The Amarr Empire, the Minmatar Republic , the Gallente Federation, and the Caldari State . Today, advanced technology has given rise to an elite caste of society known as the “capsuleers”: Highly trained, physically modified human beings capable of piloting starships by using only the power of their minds. Cognizant of the capsuleer’s growing influence, the governments of the nation-states are enlisting their ranks to push their secret agendas forward, edging the worlds of EVE closer and closer to the brink of war.
