The Oruze construct picture looks just like the Amarr golden sceptre (shown in the Khumark chronicle), which is a depiction of a flaring Sun.

Complex name: Forgotten Perimeter Coronation Platform (class 1)
Coronation: òthe ceremony of installing a new monarch
How does this belong?
Hi, Sonkut.
Maybe this could refer to the Corona of a Sun? "Coronation" sounds like a phrase you would use in "solar engineering"

It might be complicated and confusing but it's also fun. These bizarre tangential discussions sometimes yield gold. Remember, we are trying not only to understand basic crap we figured out weeks ago like the meaning of oruze. We're trying to figure out the bigger picture. Was it the sleepers that collapsed the eve gate, etc.
I just want to say I agree with this - on the one hand I am sceptical that the Devs would make things too complicated or expect people to wander to far away from what can be garnered in-game and from the chronicles and the EVE novelsin order to find the answers, but on the other hand who knows - a certain amount of extrapolation derived from in game information may indeed be the way to go.
What I do know, however, is that although I personally have only made a couple of posts (when I think I have something to add), I have followed all the threads and find the discussion entertaining, and also educational! For instance I now know what a Tippler Universal Simulator is and what Theosophy is all about.
" Was it the sleepers that collapsed the eve gate, etc."
That is something that currently resonates with me. The Empyrean Age says that contrary to Empire lore the Gate is "not at all what it seemed", and it seems to me the most likely explanation for that nugget is that it was artificially closed. An alternative possibility is that it is not a collapsed static wormhole (so it might lead somewhere other that Terra if it re-opens), but if that were the case it would take more development resources than I would think CCP would want to allocate, to produce the in-game consequence that would imply, i.e. a route to a whole new galaxy.

Thanks for posting all that older lore information Pottsey. I had seen that in the past but had actually forgotten about it, so it is indeed a usefull addendum to the discussion.
There is an obvious difficulty in reconciling what was written (by CCP) in 2003, with what is being done now, and as you point out, different versions of the lore on the eve gate have been put out in the past.
I don't want to bash ccp though, what I am more interested is the statement in the novel that the lore is wrong, at least in so far as it relates to what the gate (referred to in the novel as Point Genesis)actually is. That statement does open up the situation as stated in the past (2003) to a degree of further revision, I guess?
