From the looks of it, they're almost designing it to be a warzone...

Or it's Space Nassau.

Haven't finished reading the thread yet... but does anyone else see a rather hefty reference given that system's name...

Thera... it's not even a difficult anagram...

a bit like torchwood in that respect

i wonder if we're about to see what happened to earth.

let's see..., the first two planets in the system are shattered... wonder what the third one's like.

[Morwen Lagann]

There are fourteen planets in Thera. The first nine are shattered.

Try again.

Thera is the name of an island (also known as Santorini) in the Mediterranean that was part of the Minoan civilization. It was mostly destroyed by a very large volcanic explosion, and is one of several places in the region that is a hypothetical location of Atlantis.

[Rok-Yuni]

hmmm... maybe i misread...

seems the fluff at the top was incorrect then... 

[spoiler]

Rough transition through wormhole conduit to seventh candidate location. Shields and nanoplating held with minimal erosion. Deployed camera drones and was immediately impressed by the vivid blue glare of the central star. Even brighter than typical blue A0 types. Analysis showed it to be subtype A0IV and qualifying as a blue subgiant. Extremely turbulent with many signs of instability in star and the background radiation of the system. Briefly turned forward plating transparent with polarizing filters in place, and was struck by the dire beauty of the star.

Sensors indicate several outer planets of various types and an inner zone of numerous terrestrials. The innermost pair of planets show signs of shattering similar to that seen in previous candidate locations. This system stands out as extremely capacious and probes are returning multiple wormhole signatures. Could it be lucky seven?

That only means the scout has checked those two planets.

I'd go with the Thera is not Earth theory; actually I would be very worried if we ever find Old Earth. OOCly speaking, we spent a bunch of years back in stone age on this side of the EVE Gate. Something like 10,000, give or take a few thousand.

If we ever meet them, we may find out they spent this time alive, awake and working.

I have no idea what any of this is about because wormholes and such things don't interest me, but I'm happy to see things happening. Hope it all goes well for folks.

[Myyona]

Looks like the "new" A'J is following in the path of the "old" A'J.

I seem to remember quite a lot of drama llama in the beginning of the project too; popularity and pissing contest and so forth. But when the time came to do actual "effort" most of these people dropped out. I hope CCP keeps the activities open for all to participate and not fall back to exclusive events for those so called w-space dwelling corporations, as those are anyhow too busy ISK-whoring to care about lore and story.

Even though I have been off the EVE hook for more than a year, I do feel a bit compelled to subscribe for a month to check out if there really is some new lore content to explore and theorize about.

[Louella Dougans]

So, there's quotes in the various dev blogs, from a character called "Zakari Kovalis"

looking them up ingame, they have a bunch of hexadecimal in their bio. Great.

Translating it to text, turns out it's Chinese. Well, that's helpful.

Google translate, does not create anything useful. vOv

Turns out, that some people at reddit have already deciphered it. Maybe.

Okay. vOv

I logged in for the first time in a year just as this happened. You can imagine my surprise, between 70 on the Arek'Jalaan list and another 300 from SYNE.
