Ever since Dune came out, there has been a few things about Dune that got me thinking if the franchise somehow influenced the early development of this game. - The EVE Gate was found in the Canopus star system which coincidentally is where Arrakis is also located - The Unified Catholic Church, the precursors to the Amarr faith, sounds very similar to the concept of the Orange Catholic Bible, which was the most widely consumed religious text in the Imperium - And both series take place over 20,000 years in the future, so what if we’re those who inhabit New Eden are really just distant cousins of the Imperium in the Milky Way ---

The _last_ thing EVE needs is a _second_ Imperium. ---

Well, I think it would be interesting to have a non-player empire for a limited time like the Triglavings, Sleepers, or Jovians, what’s you’re reason for not wanting a second Imperium; just curious ---
