Unlocking EVE Online: The Lore Made Easy 

The eve gate was a natural wormhole which humanity took advantage of. It was first found around or past Jupiter iirc, which caused humans to enter a new space race and a massive boom in technology led the way to space travel. The cataclysm was when the eve gate randomly collapsed, cutting off all of the fledgling colonies from sol, and thus each other. Imagine a small industrial colony on a planet suddenly losing communications with sol, food, supplies, and other critical imports. Other colonies are subjected to the same, people panic, chaos ensures. Technology regressed as generations lived and died, forgetting the old ways. From reading and watching various eve bits, that’s what I’ve gathered about the start of new Eden.

I entered New Eden nearly 20 years ago and am perpetually enthralled learning the lore and history of the cluster. Great introduction to the mayhem, thank you.

Great run-down. Well done! 👍

Been playing a while now, across 5 characters I have been flying solo and enjoying it playing a character from each of the major powers has let me see all sides of the coin. I now "live" in New Eden roleplaying each character, makes me feel immersed in the ships I fly. Most fun I had for 2 weeks is my Minmitar character. Taking anything in active sites not bolted down and warping off with a constant target on my back is a thrill. Amplified by blasting Norse music to further place my immersion at 10/10 lol.

If you dig into the lore you will see the gallente are not so free, the caldari are not so bad, the minmatar are actually the worst culturally, and the amarr actually are supposed to release thier slaves after a certain time. Eve lore has lots of complexities 😊

Been an active participant in the lore since release. Always will remain my favorite sci fi setting.
