**First of all, where can you learn to know more about the universe of EVE?** There are several places, and I will list all I know of, below;

> **Lore Resources List**
>
> 1. [EVE Universe](https://universe.eveonline.com/) and ~~[Backstory section](https://community.eveonline.com/backstory/).~~ Eve Universe is a modernized and vastly expanded version of the old Backstory website, which originally housed all of the game’s lore. The link is included here for posterity’s sake and as a guide for using the Wayback Machine, as the original sites have been made inaccessible.  
> Eve Universe is a fiction portal that houses in-universe news, chronicles, empire and faction introductions, and contains an encyclopedia of the game’s lore, all of which is fully searchable. It is the most recent and up-to-date source of EVE’s lore, maintained by CCP themselves.
> 
> 2. [EVE RP Lore Wiki](https://wiki.everp.online/index.php?title=Main_Page), a backup copy of a previous incarnation of the fiction portal, which contains hundreds if not thousands of lore related articles and volumes and then volumes of text, mostly written by CCP or their ISD Volunteers. It is encyclopedic in nature - being originally a Wiki - and as such usable for fact checking and wiki binging.  
> _ **It is good to keep in mind tough that some of the information in this Wiki can be severely outdated** _, _ **and that some parts of it are player created** _, so it doesn’t hurt to consult other players if something you found here is still valid. Likely it is valid, but anything pertaining to the game itself isn’t immune to change, and there is the ever present possibility of some retcons happening, or in a more positive note, more in-depth takes on the subjects in newer fiction source releases.
> 
> 3. [Mark726’s EVE Lore Survival Guide](https://evetravel.wordpress.com/lore-survival-guide/), as the name implies is written like a book, and is in a way more entertaining read than those above, covering all the basics and then some. It uses mainly the former Evelopedia - now preserved in part as the above mentioned copy - as its sources as well as books from the EVE Universe. In my understanding it is a primer for new roleplayers, but it is a fantastic read for anyone interested in the universe of EVE.
> 
> 4. Physical and digital books; EVE: Source, The Frigates of EVE, and prose such as Burning Life and Templar One. (EDIT: There use to be links to online stores here, but the links no longer work)  
> Books that contain stories and illustrations from the world of EVE. Most, if not all information in EVE: Source and Frigates of EVE have been updated to the Eve Universe site.
> 
> 5. [In-universe news](https://universe.eveonline.com/new-eden-news). Last but not least, the World News contain huge swathes of lore easily missed by many. They can often contain information not found elsewhere, offering even more insight to the day-to-day affairs of the people living in New Eden.

> **FAQ: Frequently Asked Question about EVE Lore.**  
> Do note that I am not an infallible source of information, I’ve tried to fact check everything here, but if I’m wrong, people are free to and should correct me. I’m trying to answer more general questions, not ones tied to specific factions or such.
> 
> **Q#1: Wow, that’s a lot of stuff, where do I even start?**  
> **A:** Is there anything you’ve ever wanted to know about some faction, perhaps? [How Stargates work?](https://universe.eveonline.com/id/1u0PE6hhhvdHlflIDkfHYz/interstellar-traveling) My advice is to think of something that has bugged you about EVE’s backstory, looking it up from the sources mentioned above, and then continue on from there.
> 
> **Q#2: How are Capsuleers “made?” How does one become a capsuleer?**  
> **A:** [This is a primer](https://universe.eveonline.com/id/15umOALoFBZxVS2oaggvJQ/capsuleers) about capsuleer training for those who want to roleplay in EVE - this is how your character came to be whoever she or he is today, if they became a capsuleer in the old-fashioned way. It’s quite a demanding process that can take up to a decade to achieve!
> 
> Alpha clones, which have been around since late YC118 (2016) [are built differently](https://universe.eveonline.com/id/4nv6rjdbeA64lKXM0Qdh38/the-capsule), and to my understanding can bypass most if not all of that rigorous training the older capsuleers had to go through - though the need for genetic compatibility still applies.  
> Back in my day, we had to ski to capsuleer school, uphill, both ways…!
> 
> Thanks to Samira Kernher for suggesting this.
> 
> **Q#3: How much is ISK worth for a normal person or on a planet?**  
> **A** : That is a surprisingly difficult question. Despite it being quite central to us as players, most of the lore regarding it is very fragmented and not always internally consistent. Depending on who you ask and the context, ISK can be worth a lot, or next to nothing. According to the [Stairway To Heaven](https://universe.eveonline.com/id/3VrpSrMIWT5r8k8OcuAGBW/stairway-to-heaven) -chronicle, planetary and space economies are largely separated, so on many planets, ISK would hold little to no value. In space however, ISK reigns as king. In the chronicle [Khadrea](https://web.archive.org/web/20150905191957/https://community.eveonline.com/backstory/fiction/khadrea/) it is compared to “Amamake credits”, where millions of credits are worth a paltry few thousand ISK and chump change.
> 
> Generally, ISK (InterStellar Kredit) is regarded as an interstellar trade currency, and specifically one used almost entirely in space by capsuleers and large, interstellar scale corporations to represent sums that would be inconveniently big if expressed in other currencies.
> 
> **Q#4: Do our ships have crews?**  
> **A:** Yes. There are [ship crew guidelines](https://wiki.everp.online/index.php?title=New_Eden_Crew_Guidelines) established by CCP. Note: Capsuleer piloted frigates have since been established to be flown by capsuleers only. The guideline also ignores various industrial ships, and as titled, are more of a guideline than anything concrete. Technology in-universe has marched on for ten years since that guideline was written.
> 
> **Q#5: I heard somewhere the Empires have these huge Titans, what are they? Why can’t we fly them?**  
> **A:** These are called[Iapetan Titans](https://universe.eveonline.com/id/XH5ZPvSBGGIStAEWqWHOl/titans) (note that it is written with a capital I, not L. ), or “First Generation Titans”.  
> They are fairly few in number because building just two generally means cannibalizing an entire suitable moon for raw materials. As such, they are large enough to generate their own gravity and are not allowed near inhabited planets because their gravity can cause, among other things, tidal disruption. So, yeah. We can’t fly them because capsuleers are jerks who would cause ecological disasters just for laughs.
> 
> Exact numbers are military secrets, but all empires are assumed to operate at least a handful of Iapetan Titans.
> 
> **Q#6: Why aren’t there any aliens EVE?**  
> **A:** Several species on planets are alien species, including but not limited to to the Slaver Hound, The Hanging Long-Limb, Fedo, Shiksi and Corovid to name a few. There just are no _sapient_ aliens - that we know of - in EVE universe.
> 
> **Q#7: Hey, I got this really cool idea about all this lore stuff, how can I tell CCP about it?**  
> **A:** [CCP has a volunteer system in place](https://volunteers.eveonline.com/), one department - New Eden Correspondents - focuses mainly on lore. You can try applying there. Alternatively, you can just post your ideas on this forum section, and of course, the “[Player Features & Ideas](https://forums.eveonline.com/c/technology-research/player-features-ideas)” subforum.
> 
> **Q#8: This is all beyond cool, but I want to know who writes all this stuff for us?**  
> **A:** Generally, various CCP Devs and members of the ISD. Pilot @Kolmogorow has compiled a [handy list to answer this.](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/eve-lore-faq-lore-resources-megathread/25814/20)
> 
> **Q#9: I’ve noticed planets, stars, stargates etc. have wonky stats from real life physics standpoint, what gives?**  
> **A:** Because there are over 5,000 solar systems in New Eden, various values for the solar systems are randomly generated, and whoever was in charge of generating them forgot to specify realistic limits for many values. Fun bit of trivia; the [universe seed for EVE is “42.”](https://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/agdc08-the-meaning-of-life-in-eve-online-really-is-42-no-joke/).

This is a great compilation.

One thing that has come in handy for me in the past, when I was looking for articles about specific things from the world news pages is searching for certain terms using ‘site:’. I’m sure many people are already aware of this, but basically you do a Google search structured like ‘Minmatar site:[https://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/](https://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/)’ and it will find articles that mention the Minmatar for you (as an example). As there are 14 years of articles that can help narrow it down. (Also no reason you can’t do the same with the other sites as well of course, but has been particularly handy with the news articles).

Hey thanks for putting this together. I’d like to add my personal favorite so far, [The Hitchhiker’s Guide to New Eden](http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/Ken/The_Hitchhikers_Guide_to_New_Eden_v0.9.pdf). It’s very well written in a tone that sounds like an actual historian. Includes backstory of the Amarr, Minmatar, Gallente/Caldari, the Jove, and the Minmatar Rebellion.

Hello capsuleers! As a member of the New Eden Correspondants I would love to help you in your quest for lore. **[This](http://timeglider.com/t/ed119db9b36b63b5?min_zoom=1&max_zoom=100)** is one of my favorite resource pages, and I use it often for my work at NEC.

Just wow! That’s unbelievable. At first I thought this timeline has just some key points in New Eden’s history but then I zoomed deep into the last years and found that it also contains the timeline and reference link for every single world news, starting from the very first ever written (May 2003)…

I just remembered this one; you can read some parts - I haven’t counted but I’d guess something like 30-40 pages of EVE Source on Google Books preview. Mainly it includes the part about how one becomes a capsuleer almost completely and few bits here and there about the Amarr and Minmatar and other minor information. I’ve personally checked it often when questions about the capsuleer programs pop up - it’s not much but it’s something, and ofc you should buy the book if you’re really interested in knowing all the rest.

Hmm. I wonder if I have to periodically bump this every 3 months to be able to edit the opening post if necessary, and if, would that be frowned upon by moderation. Pre-emptive auto-close-dodging bump.

Also, I upgraded the timeline to a spot on the main lore resources list, it is just that amazing.

Do we know if the official lore was written by a specific CCP employee or set of employees?  
And if so, who are they? I think they are deserving of recognition for making frankly amazing lore by any standards.

Fair bit of lore is also written by volunteers, the ISD, New Eden Correspondents, the unsung heroes of EVE’s story team.

I’m summoning @ISD_Starsweaver and @ISD_Thalack_Dalhar to correct me where I’m wrong, because I don’t know enough about this one. Once they ring in though I’ll add that information to the FAQ.

The statistics below is mainly from [here](http://wiki.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?title=List_of_Eve_Chronicles) and updated by my own research on the old forums.

@Teinyhr: CCP Abraxas’ first chronicle was from 2006 - [this one](https://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=415678) where he also gets introduced as a new chronicle author. The early chronicles (from EVE beta phase or even before up to around March 2005) are all in the question mark category below. I never found an indication who wrote them.

```
Chronicles|Author
=================
97 CCP Abraxas
89 ?
10 CCP Gnauton
7 CCP Delegate Zero
5 CCP Greyscale
4 CCP Dropbear
3 CCP Ginger
3 CCP Headfirst
3 Community
2 CCP Big Dumb Object
2 CCP Jasonitas
1 CCP Abraxas, Tony Gonzales
1 CCP Eterne
1 CCP Falcon
1 CCP Molock
1 CCP t0rfifrans
1 CCP Technobabble
1 ISD Archetys Traum, ISD Sheliak Mesarthim, ISD Starsweaver,
           ISD Mercury Team, Team Murder Services
1 NTRabbit
1 Orestes
===
234

```

For 3 chronicles I found a hint somewhere that they have been written by the “Community”. I believe, NTRabbit and Orestes were/are players as well, but I’m not sure. The very recent chronicle “Mithra’s Gate” has a question mark.
