In honor of the upcoming novel 'Templar One' by TonyG, I thought I'd provide some fun facts from the Empyrean Age. Hopeful Templar One will live up to the same level of awesomeness brought to us in his last work of pure awesomeness.
Did you know...
...Federation society is close to Utopia. (Page 174, of The Empyrean Age.)
...the Minmatar republic is incompetent and corrupt. (Page 165, of The Empyrean Age.)
...that the Federation Navy holds training sessions with the Republic because they need to be taught to be self-sufficient. However, even pilots as elite as the Federation Navy are unable to help the crumbling moral of the Republic military. (page 96, of The Empyrean Age)
...in Minmatar tribal culture, ancient gods are worshiped at scared night clubs known as Raafa-kon. (Page 184, of The Empyrean Age)
...zero-G sex is sacred to the Minmatar. (Page 185, of The Empyrean Age)
...it is a fact that not one Gallentean citizen is unemployed. (Page 176, of The Empyrean Age)
...that the Caldari-Gallente war started simply because the Caldari were loath to create opportunities for any race other than themselves? (page 40, of The Empyrean Age)
...that the Caldari killed half a million people at at Nouvelle Rouvenor because the Gallentean's free-spirted nature and eagerness for trade grated on their nerves? (page 40, of The Empyrean Age)
...that in the Caldari State there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor because they refuse to trade with the other empires? (page 40, of The Empyrean Age)
...that Ishukone is the second largest corporation in the Caldari State but only has 300 Million employees? (page 131, of The Empyrean Age)
...that Ishukone was so poorly managed that even after the Jovian gift of the Hydrostatic-capsule saved the corporation once, it still nearly failed a second time but was saved by the acquisition of the Raven blue print by Orto Gariushi. Later, Gariushi brought the company to the brink of collapse a third time by embezzling investment funds to pay employee wages. (page 132, of The Empyrean Age)
...The traditional image of a Caldari CEO is manicured and overweight. (page 139, of The Empyrean Age)
...during Heth's rebellion, starving children were beaten to within an inch of their lives by the Caldari elite (page 140, of The Empyrean Age)
...the overnight Caldari rebellion, while inspired by the heroism of Heth, took place without any guidance, organization or coordination among the rebels. (page 140, of The Empyrean Age)
...that while it is the second largest Caldari megacorp, the 300 million employees of Ishukone only make up 00.03% of the total population of the caldari State. (page 131 and 152, of The Empyrean Age)
...the best and brightest of the Minimatar republic migrate to the Gallente Federation. (page 164, of The Empyrean Age)
...the Gallente Federation's Economy is so robust the building of Paradise worlds is a common and easy task for the Federation. (Page 165, of The Empyrean Age.)
...every Gallentean citizen is provided free education and medical care. (Page 176, of The Empyrean Age)
...the Federation Government would have secretly saved the failing Caldari economy, out of charity, if the Caldari hadn't invaded Caldari prime. (Page 178, of The Empyrean Age.)
...all Caldari cities are utterly indistinguishable from each other. (Page 238, of The Empyrean Age)
...the supposed Gallenteans committing hate crimes against ethnic Caldari during May of YC110 were actually disguised Caldari. The Gallenteans were completely innocent. (Page 240, of The Empyrean Age)
