Shared Backstory
On May 6th, 2003 (or YC105), New Eden came to life for the first time. In the more than two decades since, this living universe has steadily grown hand-in-hand with a community unlike any other – evolving through DUST 514 , EVE Valkyrie , EVE Gunjack , and striving toward an even brighter future in EVE Vanguard .
When a story must exist in the context of a broader world, the worry that it might constrain its own future to a narrow path for fear of breaking what came before—or worse, deliberately disregard that history—is all too often proven justified. On the infinite horizons of New Eden, however, precedent becomes potential . Rather than prescribing lines that must be carefully coloured within, EVE’s twenty-one years of established story and community provide a palette from which a truly limitless future can be painted. The Vanguard is this idea manifest, resolving elements at the very roots of EVE, DUST, and Valkyrie into a foundation for a new era of Elysian independence.
In Vanguard infomorphs , the remnant Sleeper origins of warclone technology have been unified with those empowered by it in a very literal sense by the Arkombine mercenary group’s “Lifegiver ” – lighting a path to harmony at last for the first generation within the inner virtual world of the Fulcrum and to self-realization together with second gens through compatibility with a new kind of warclone blank.
In Vanguard clones , the history, technology, and biology of the ever-factious Jove weave together with the vision and innovations of the Deathless Circle’s “Quartermaster ” to form a body whose brain and implants are capable of coupling with the Fulcrum’s onboard virtuality at a distance, as if they were Sleepers coupled physically to their crumbling enclaves.
- Lifegiver* brings the technology and population of DUST to a long-hoped resolution.
- Quartermaster innovates paths of pragmatism and progress from the core tech of Valkyrie .
- The Deathless and the Fulcrum drag ancient Jovian lore and technology to the surface in EVE Online .
