I've been playing EvE for years and never realized that the early Titan chronicle isn't actually referring to the Titans we know of in game currently. I'm rather surprised there is so little lore on these. I'd love to know more regarding their size and dimensions; geeking out on this stuff is great fun.
I understand these were initially called "Empire Titans" in which only a few of each empire actually owns given the immense resources required to construct them. Thus, what from what I've dug up, though I'm unsure if actually cannon, current Titans are classified as "Prometheon" Titans; smaller and less resource intensive to build while having most of the benefit of their larger predecessors, such as Jump Bridging/Dooms Days and acting as fleet flagships, albeit with significantly reduced defence and firepower.
https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/The_Titans_(Chronicle)
I initially figured this Chronicle was depicting the "early" Jove based Titan, but apparently, this is actually the Caldari "Omnya" Class. Very little is known about it.
There was also an event pre-Titan introduction in game that had players aiding in the recapture (attempted) of the Gallente "Lapatus" Titan which was stolen by the Serpentis.
I figure these ships could possible be nearly 50+ KM long, but I could either be going overboard, given current Titans have an average length of 16KM.
My OCD on not know this pointless information is keeping me awake at night! (alright.. not really. But still!)
I'd be super happy if CCP could drop by and give some hastily-made "facts" about these beasts, if only to help me sleep at night!

Considering the wealth and upcoming features, a Titan as this chronicle describes would not be uncalled for. A two year long project for a player power-block is not too far fetched. Each component would take as long as a T1 titan itself, and there are several thousand to complete. It could remotely jump without the need of a stargate or cyano and requires 3 people to pilot. |

That's definitely an interesting concept for in game use, though I was refering to just lore based info. :)
This would probably just give CCP more headaches as far as capital balance and power projection if actually implemented in any form in game, imho. |

Few people realise this, most are shocked when I mention the two types of titans and the history behind them. In recent lore however both caldari and gallente forces deployed the Titans during operations a few years ago.

Fun fact:
During Operation Highlander, the Federation Navy had its entire capital group of Soltueur-class titans on standby as a last resort to provide fire support to the fleet that challenged CN Shiigeru in orbit of Caldari Prime.
Thankfully they weren't called into service, as the results would have been catastrophic for Caldari Prime.

I'm SO going to include this in the article!
Looks like the Federation was planning to go all out on the CN Shiigeru's removal, while the State wasn't prepared for such all-out assault on their Titan. Makes the Caldari stand on Caldari Prime all the more impressive tho!

C'mon, screw kicking the balance of power over with more titans.
...but to break them out in a massive clash of independence vs. empire allegiance - damn one of those bad boys should've around to spice up the live event in Syndicate/Curse.
The ultimate show of force from the empires. The ultimate "*BLEEEP* YOU, CONCORD!" from those who dislike them when they fall. The final word when it comes to making a looter/salvager's pants full.
And, before the inevitable is said: "You can't take an Empire Titan on, it has like a hundred million hitpoints! It has 99,9% native resists across the board! It hull tanks like a man! It can overheat indefinitely, and can sequence-fire the doomsday without a cooldown! It's blap fit like the titans of old, and its capacitor is blessed by the gods to never run out!" I shall reply to that:
Challenge. Accepted.
No seriously, if the art team actually did redesign them and models do exist - those things should definitely hit the field at some point. I guess we shall do our finest to make the angry CONCORD guy angrier, and empires angry along with them. Challenge, once more, accepted.
To start it all, let's start a glorious revolution. Viva la revolution!

Na, you do that when the other side explodes and you just want to drive home how thunderous your asskicking was.
If you lose, you keep it quiet or run off laughing due to how hilarious the entire thing was.

Fun note, these titans were in the game before the release of the capsuleer titans. However, oddities between the chronicles of the titans of old & the capacities of the Capsuleer titans made CCP realize they couldn't be one & the same, hence : huge Iapetan Titans for the empires & smaller Promethean Titans for capsuleers & empires.
Not sure if we'll ever see these ingame. Then again, CCP is about to dump some huge structure into New Eden, the Jove observation (?) stations, so who knows?

see what kind of over the top, whacky, 40k-esque lore additions we get out of that
yes the results WILL be stupid
but you gotta admit youd read whatever they made, if only for lulz |

Considering that these ships are rare, I think some element of "fantasy" would be appropriate...

This is one of the things that made me *sigh* at the reaction of Caldari loyalist roleplayers to what happened in Luminaire when some started complaining that CCP hates the Caldari.
For Caldari forces to have even held on that long was a colossal statement about how powerful the Caldari Navy is, when the Federation threw endless firepower at them and it took several days, even after the loss of CN Shiigeru, to overpower Caldari forces.
Especially when you consider the Federation was scared enough to put so many vessels on standby as a second wave if the fight didn't go their way.

To be fair, and speaking as someone who fought as a Caldari loyalist at Highlander, I would say that a lot of frustration came from the fact that the Caldari Prime event was sold to us as a battle in which players would decide the outcome. This wasn't the case (except for a rather limited interpretation of "outcome"): it became pretty clear in the days following that Federation was always intended to win the battle, and the battle played out accordingly. Which, if that's the way the story had to play out (and I think it probably was), then so be itGÇöbut I personally found the advertised role of the players to be a little disingenuous, and I think that's a fair criticism. |

Well, considering the terrible taste in tank mods which NPC supercaps have displayed in the past, combined with the lack of an appropriate slowmera/Wyvern fleet to support it, it does seem as though the Caldari Navy was setup to fail.

Was kinda amusing how dust players were shown the titan's wreck in Dust ~before~ the ship was destroyed in eve. That you know, it was a done deal. Eve players' didn't matter.
edit:
'Pardon, Eve players could participate in an orchestrated foregone conclusion while deluding themselves to the idea that they mattered. |

What I'd really like to know is the true destructive power of these so-called "doomsday" devices! I faintly remember a chronicle story (can't recall the title) about an Avatar titan firing its judgment weapon at a planet and not only wiping out all life but making it forever inhospitable to life. The few human survivors huddle down inside underground bunkers waiting to die off.
If this story is canon then doomsday devices are, in terms of energy projection, second only to the gamma ray burst of a supernova!
Does anyone know what story this might have been or other ones depicting the doomsday device?

It's the attack on Reschard V: https://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/eve-online-news/planet-wide-explosion-strikes-reschard-v/ and the followup newspost: https://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/eve-online-news/rescue-ships-finally-reach-disaster-planet-surface/
Remember that the newspost is written around the old doomsday which functioned in a different manner, altough one could say the amount of energy released by it has probably not changed, only the way it is channeled (to a single target point instead of a large area). I do not know if there is a chronicle about this, if there is, I have missed it.
But, frankly I don't see why titan doomsday would not cause immense damage if fired on a planet, considering they can take down capital ship shields and armor with ease which shrug off incredible quantities of energy otherwise. |

Thanks for finding those you are awesome!
There was also another story about a T1 battleship wiping out an entire city with a single barrage of artillery. So it is not a stretch to say that doomsdays are many tiers above that level of firepower!
When they changed the role of the doomsday they also greatly boosted the damage output. So the energy released did not change |

I wonder if we are ever going to see them in the game? Maybe some live event CCP?
