Been reading into the lore a bit more lately... am I to understand correctly that the colonists who came through the EVE Gate were in fact refugees? And that the Jove closed the gate to protect pre-singularity human life modalities? Epic Space Cat |

I always believed that Earth had been infested by Dwarfs, Elfs and Pandas and most of the populace stayed in areas of forest lands where it was absolutely safe and boar were plentiful and stuffed with gold and other trinkets.
To escape that lunacy, the last remnants of humanity escaped into fluidic space in their technologically advanced spaceships that the rest of the new Earth inhabitants eschewed in favor of swords, shields and magic, and sealed themselves in. They took with them only what they needed to barely survive, some entertainment technology, inpenetratable door locks, and several hundred thousand copies of Excel 2000.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

I was going to suggest they brought blackjack and hookers, but then I realized that was "entertainment technology." If we're not supposed to shoot pods in hisec, why are they filled with meat? |

There is another alternate theory.
Walnuts.
Yep, Walnuts.
In the late 3000's, Walnut gained sentience and began to enslave humanity, forcing them to create large scale public works projects, shower on a twice daily basis, and taking the most influential of humans and baking them into random confectionary goods for both health benefits and texture.
The rebels in humanities ranks eventually fled the Earth, mostly because they preffered bathing weekly over twice daily showering. They escaped in hastily thrown together spaceships, made from old Star Wars props, recycled Cold War ICBMs, duct tape and stuff gotten for 5$ from a NASA garage sale. They found a wormhole that led to an unpopulated pocket of fluidic space that seemed perfect due to their bathing requirements, which would decrease the weekly baths to monthly baths. Worried that Walnuts would find their way to their New Eden, I large scale cosmic Tub Stopper was installed in spectacular fashion, effectively sealing the wormhole.
This also explains why Walnuts are banned from POCOs. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

Eve space is not fluidic. The warp cores create drag on the ships causing this fluid type motion....Also they got the stuff for $10 at a Nasa garage sale after hours of bartering. |

Very sure, Sansha hates capsuleers, wants them see extinguished from the universe. That picture in uestion is actually used in a PI chronicle where a capsuleer negotiates planetrights with a local goverment (well 'negotiate' they either agree or they get bombed). If you want a grimdark eve, dive in the old lore, there's some chilling stuff, specially when you think deeper on it. The Opux Luxury Yacht -á-áCaldari rescued from Black Eagle Prison Camps! |

Yes, the old prime fiction stuff is pretty rough. For example, any of the four "Methods of Torture" tales. Characters in the old fiction aren't very nice to each other at all. "Were [sic] not your monkey and so what?"-á -The Sex Pistols (2006) |

I had never heard of the term 'grimdark' until now... (I even looked it up)
My understanding of why the colonist came through the EVE Gate in the first place was to escape from Earth origin; where every controlled system was stripped of its finite resources, planets were taxed beyond the breaking point and where mankind was on the verge of utter collapse (especially with wars between themselves for the remnants).
I guess from a beginning point of view, everything ahead of you looked bleak; then you find a wormhole to a whole new area of space... things become renewed in the human spirit...
Then again, everything around you collapses and again you as humanity are forced to stare at the grim dark of your existence ahead of you...
In the beginning, it definitely set the tone for one's outlook of the game...
Like everything else in this game, it evolves... F+¡orghr+í: Gr+í na f+¡rinne D+¬an g+íire...Tiocfaidh +ír l+í |

While the Jovians were one of the poorer groups spreading into New Eden at the time of human colonization - only being a superpower in comparison to the post-collapse civilizations that exist at the current date - this should not at all be taken to mean that all the human groups were "refugees". Refugees brings images of people moving for no reason except that their original homes were lost or cannot be returned to; many of the original colonists were drawn by the hopes of success and new development. Nobody was fleeing, except in the sense of leaving an overcrowded and overdeveloped Milky Way.
Additionally, the collapse of the EVE Gate has been repeatedly confirmed by CCP as nothing more than the inherent degradation leading to collapse of a natural wormhole, in turn causing the destruction of the stabilization equipment surrounding it. |

What if we still look like that and these portraits we have are just complex holographic overlays so that we retain our previous appearance? Blessed are those that carry the Empress' Light; with it they destroy the shadows |

We don't, because in Empyrean Age and Templar One, capsuleers walk amongst baseliners and look just like us (with obvious differences when they've been freshly cloned). Epic Space Cat |

That specific capsuleer was sending that image to intimidate. He probably didn't actually look like that himself, it was just a scary avatar he was sending to convince the dirtsiders that he was both able and crazily willing enough to carry out the threat he was making.
Maybe he was both able and willing. But the chronicle heavily implies that the appearance in question was calculated to terrify, rather than being an accurate representation of that individual pilot, much less of all pilots in general.
Among other things, that avatar wasn't depicted floating naked in a gel bath. An in-character blog and a video: http://verinsjournal.blogspot.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu1mbsgo738
