You will not be disappointed. Probably one of the best chronicles since the ones heralding Apocrypha.

I really liked it and it's long enough that it contains an actual story that's interesting ...
... but I, as player, don't know what to do with it.

I'm feeling a bit lost and want to know. :)

as an 8 month old player with little undrstanding of lore, can you link somethigns that would hlep me out? What is the jove directorate? What is Anoikis? Caroline's Star? etc.? ELI5 basically.

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.

Is there any evidence that enough people tried to rule out the possibility?

When did they try, where did they try, when was the last time someone tried?

Hm...

Been thinking about this chronicle a bit and the reaction it received. In truth, the more I think about it the less impressed I am. This is purely from a writers point of view though.

In general, if you have to have a plot explained by a character you've kinda failed at storytelling. This chronicle was pretty much two dudes sitting down and having a conversation about all the stuff that happened which nobody ever bothered to SHOW through an actual story.

In that sense, I feel it is kind of lazy. Of course, the plot points themselves are excellent and the end scene is definitely solid enough. But 90% of this chronicle was backstory that could have been shown, and instead it was told. Show is always better than tell, and by that I mean building a narrative around characters and having them discover these things organically. In that sense this was kind of a failure, as Jovian dude just kinda sweeps in and is like "Hey brah, we've been out of things for 10 years so here's what happened."

Still, it takes more time and effort to show and I suppose they can only do so much with what is afforded to them. But I can only imagine my former professor giving this a C+ or maybe B- because it finished strong.

You asked me about the trying.
You say people try all the time.

That's great, however while everyone can learn to play chess ...
... it doesn't mean everyone's smart enough to grasp advanced strategies.

True, however may I point out again, we have no reason to believe that their is things within the game at this point in time that no one has discovered or that anything actually exists within Jovian space. Its basically just a dev playground where things are tested on the main server and the AT is held.

Devs themselves said there's still things people haven't figured/found out.
One of them, at least, was connected to the drifters.

We need a fleet of 100 pilots using Command Destroyers to create the biggest ...
... longest ...
... farthest reaching ...
... even-bigger-than-your-mom jump-chain ever! :O


I strongly doubt there aren't ways to beat the system ......

It also raises the question of, Who are the Stasis People (I assume the sleepers), It sounds as though the jove do not know fully who they are. So surely they are not second empire, but the second empire may also have been in anoikis aswell.

I assumed it was a typo or other way of referring to the Statics branch of the Jove:

You might want to read to Chronicle *wink*, its mentioned a total of nine times. The Stasis people made In fact the link you provided under section 2.3 covers the Stasis people.

If you still require help, I know this games lore can be a bit of a minefield to traverse, feel free to hit me up in game and I'll do all I can to get you more involved and put you in touch with certain contacts and channels which can assist you on your journey.



Frankly I thought we had found what the devs were referring to, you wouldn't happen to have a linky link of linkness for me?
Though if you're honest interested in taking some time from the forums and having a poke around curse for example I would be happy to join you, I'm in the need of a good expedition *smiles*.

It is kinda sad that all the stuff thy built up over the years with hints here and there ingame and in fiction was just revealed in one go by some jovian guy. Why not let it be discovered ingame by the people who enjoy this kind of things...

The problem with the EvE medium is that it has happened across so A LOT of mediums. There are 3 Novels, short stories on the main website, Some comics, SUPER cryptic hints in games, hints "blatently" told to you in game(site warp, show info's, agent interaction), in game events(both live and automated), player actions that have become canon, Purposeful GM leaks(reddit, chat, and similar).

Since most people aren't In all places, they needed to "break open" the story in one place.

This is not merely stellar engineering. This is engineering the topology of space and time so as to serve a civilization. This was nothing less than an attempt to focus the telos of the universe itself on their existence and needs. Astounding arrogance. A hubris the like of which casts we Jove into the role of humble mendicants to the impassive stars. We should be thankful that the Talocan, while leaving their traces behind them, are no longer present in New Eden or Anoikis.

The lore needs this kind of chronicles more often in my opinion. It's not a good thing when every conversation about the lore starts with something in the line of "let's put our tinfoil hats for a moment, what if (insert crazy jovian/sleeper theory here)?" and is refuted by other in the line of "yeah but we don't know so maybe (insert another completely opposed yet crazy jovian /sleeper theory here)"

In order to theorise we need some reliable data like the ones provided in this chronicle.

And less almost omnipotent entites, also solved in this chronicle.

To be fair basically everything mentioned within this Chronicle aside from the end scene and some stuff with Veniel was already known knowledge, its just no one had effectively plotted the points together. We had already identified it was the awakening of the second empire, that it was the star which caused the gates to offline and such. I don't think CCP could have really given us much more data without making it Science Lab online or something of the like. You have to tread carefully along the line of when is discovering lore fun or work. Few people, even within the role playing community actually have the scientific knowledge to understand some of the things CCP implements.
