Lanithro	Posted - 2004.08.30 01:25:00 - [1] Uhm, read the whole story: Quote: EVE closed while the EVE gates were still under construction. This didn't seem to affect the gates at all and they functioned properly from the start. But then, after seven decades of working flawlessly, a disaster struck: some unexplained phenomenon engulfed the EVE gates, creating a severe magno-gravity disturbance, rendering the gates inoperable and reduced the prosperous New Eden system to rubbles. The EVE gate in New Eden still exists, but any ship that tries to go near it is destroyed by the malevolent gravity-storms. The effects of Eve's closure were sudden and dramatic. All the bases and settlements in the world of EVE, which had largely been dependent on the industrial infrastructure of the New Eden system or even that of the old world, now found themselves cut off and isolated by the catastrophe. As most of the colonies had only been settled a few years or decades previously, very few of them were self-sufficient. One by one they died out, killed off by a lack of oxygen, water and food. The few who survived slowly lost their knowledge and hi-tech industries, because they lacked the tools to replenish and maintain them. Most colonies were dependend on the New Eden system as they only had been founded some decades ago. New Eden was destroyed, and alot of colonies couldn't survive on their own. When that just happend, alot of colonies tried to fulfil their basic needs: shelter, food and creating offspring. They didn't had time to concentrate on teaching their children to use a super advanced dishwasher, nor the equipment to maintain all that 79th century high tech stuff. After a few generations, knowledge starts to fade. Even now alot of people don't know how something works, and frankly they don't care, as long as it works. Those colonies have existed for thousands of years as an agricultural society, and gradually started to re-discover technology. The crowning of the Amarr Emperor is just a mile stone in the history of the races, that's why it's in the timeline. They could of have put the re-invention of green ketchup in it, but who cares? Evolution is alot more then just inventing technology, you can't and may not underestimate the complexity of the social and economical challenges that accompagny it. 21th Century Earth could already have hybrid cars or effecient solar power driven equipment for decades, but the OPEC countries that benefit from the sales of oil hold the development of technology back. The religious aspect is not to be underestimated aswell. Sects or religious leaders could hold back technology and development for hundred of years. Let's not jump to conclusions to quick shall we? * Entor'on Morkdat!! * Imperial Knight of Sarum
