Trying to think of the impact this would have on players...
1) DED inner circle politics has been disrupted, which may lead to a difference in the way that DED (or at least the SOCT) deals with capsuleers
"Then also, the capsuleers remain the great investment in the future that should be shepherded most carefully. You can do this more directly only if you have the power to do so. I intend to give you, and the Society, this power."
It is that "shepherded" and "power to do so" that leads me to think things might be more active than merely passive observation.
2) Implication is that the Drifters are Second Empire Jove that have taken physical bodies again. How will they react to SOCT now that they are essentially the Jovian Directorate? They were already raiding Third Empire Jove installations. Perhaps time to keep an eye on N-K4Q0 constellation in Geminate.
3) " They built a stable network of wormhole connections among star systems that would not ordinarily or readily support such connections with each other. They altered the very fabric of space-time in the networkGÇÖs systems. They altered resonance points and so arranged matters so as to be able to move between the systems of the Anoikis network with the ease that you and I might move between rooms in a house."
This is not a description of the unstable wormholes we find today, as a result of the Isogen-5 incident. What the Talocan appeared to have created were stable wormholes, more akin to stargates, between Anoikis systems. Where are those now? The machinery should still be around unless the Stasis Faction destroyed them all. I have a gut feeling there is a link between the old Talocan tech and the envisioned ability of our being able to build our own stargates. That bit about our building stargates was still being shown as recently as EVE Vegas last month.
4) Veniel mentions that the Jove found Talocan wormholes from Curse to UUA-FA. In the years since the Isogen-5 incident, no capsuleer has found a way to Jove space, though Kuvakei seemed to. It would make sense that the Jove used their understanding of wormhole tech to suppress the Talocan wormhole network in their region, if nothing else as a measure of securing their borders. Or perhaps the Stasis Faction disabled/destroyed them to isolate themselves. Either way, I don't think we are going to find a way into Jove space.
