Glossary of Terms
- Anoikis
- Commonly used by Capsuleers to refer to star systems accessed via wormholes, believed to have Jovian etymology.
- EVE GateFile:New Eden Star and Eve Gate.jpgEve Gate (New Eden)
- An impossibly massive spatial phenomenon visible from the New Eden system, but estimated to be more than three light-years away. A massive structure sits at its center, marked with an indecipherable ancient language. At the top of the gate, the largest markings form the word EVE.
- Infomorph
- Refers to a non-physical, sentient being that exists purely as information. The Sleeper civilization is posited to be an infomorph society. Typically, infomorph refers to a consciousness uploaded into a computer from a biological entity.
- See also: Through training in Infomorph Psychology, a capsuleer may transfer his / her consciousness into another clone at a separate facility.
- See also: Zainou Biotech CEO Todo Kirkinen, the first man to transfer his mind into a machine.
- Rogue Drones
- Highly-advanced self-aware drones capable of replication.
- See also: Arek'Jaalan: Rogue Drones
- Sleepers
- The Sleepers were masters of virtual reality, neural interfacing and cryotechnology.

- Wormhole
- Wormholes are space anomalies that are like rifts in space, connecting two separate locations. Like stargates, they allow the travel of ships from one system to another. Unlike stargates, wormholes are not permanent. They connect two systems for only a short time, and collapse when too much time has passed, or too much mass has passed through them. Wormholes can connect two systems quite far from each other, and can provide temporary shortcuts to areas that would otherwise take many jumps to get to. Wormholes can also connect to uncharted space, or wormhole space.
- Yan Jung
- The Yan Jung nation possessed advanced gravitronic technology and force field theories.

Objects of Debate
- Apotheosis
- A small shuttle of uncertain design, distributed to all registered capsuleers by the Society of Conscious Thought in YC110. Its technological base is unknown. With the exception of higher sensor strengths, it is remarkable similar to other shuttle class vessels, including provoking violent response from Sleeper drones.
- Awakened Infomorph
- An entity of unconfirmed legitimacy observed being contemporary with active Sleeper attacks in C6 wormhole systems and the formation of spatial rifts[1]. It was most famously seen in New Caldari following an attack on capsuleers by Sansha's Nation on YC113.07.22, where it made its only recorded attempt at communication by responding to a question of whether or not it was there to help with a simple "No." It is outwardly a human female of the Jin-Mei ethnicity. Pilot records indicate employment with the Center for Advanced Studies.
- Mysterious Probe
- Located in Charmerout, despite its familiar construction, this ancient probe is made from materials and electronics unlike anything you've ever seen in New Eden. It floats silently through space, seemingly dormant until closely approached.[1]
- Mysterious Shuttle
- An outwardly Caldari shuttle that keeps a tight orbit around a beacon located near the Geztic star. It was first observed toward the end of YC112 and remained unresponsive to all external attacks or stimuli. When tested on YC113.07.23, when successfully jammed by ECM, it would respond. In all tests, the shuttle remains unresponsive to all other intervention by modules and weapons. More detail is available on the Mysterious Shuttle page.
- Zephyr
- A minimalist exploration ship designed by the Intaki Valsas en Dilat and distributed to registered capsuleers in YC111 by the Intaki Syndicate. It does not utilize conventional sub-light propulsion systems, opting to instead use solar sails for propulsion. Its infrastructure is similar to a standard shuttles and is incapable of fitting any modules with the exception of the Prototype Iris Probe Launcher, which was designed specifically for the Zephyr. Its signature radius is comparable to a shuttles, registering a minuscule 25m. Most notably, it does not provoke any aggressive targeting or weapons fire from Sleeper drones or sentries. The exact reason for this apparent invisibility is unconfirmed. The manufacturer has yet to respond to inquiries regarding the specifics of its design and behaviour.
Research Materials
Rogue Drone Materials
Salvage and mineral compounds commonly retrieved from Rogue Drone wrecks and caches.
Sleeper Materials
Salvage and components found on Sleeper Drone wrecks.
Ancient Relics
Relics recovered from Sleeper archaeology sites in w-space. Used in reverse engineering Tech 3 blueprints.
Fullerenes and Polymers
See also: Fullerenes
Fullerenes are used in reactions with common minerals to create a wide range of alloys more capable in a variety of applications that standard technology allows. The resulting polymers are used in the contruction of Tech 3 ships and components.
Wormhole Phenomena
Many w-space systems are plagued with proximity to dangerous spatial phenomena, raising questions of why the Sleepers and Talocan would settle such systems.

Reaching the Sleepers’ treasures is a hazardous task. Something stirs amidst the ancient outpost: a nagging fear, a festering phantasm. Not everything sleeps peacefully here: Who knows if there are nightmares lurking in this berceuse? |

| Forgotten Perimeter Gateway | Magnetometric | Space is a lullaby, exploration a dream. The motionless environments beyond the wormholes are places of refuge, retirement, safety, stasis. Nestled in this corner, a comfortable deadspace pocket, something ancient resides: a society asleep, their secret structures inert and isolated, safe in soundless void.

| Integrated Terminus | Cosmic Anomaly | Here you are again: another dead end. This impasse is not a physical one, but an ancient one. Why is there a Sleeper station near these Talocan ruins? Why does it seem like these ancient races, long dead and all but forgotten, are intertwined, like star-crossed lovers in the universal play? Perhaps the answer rests in that terminal. Only one way to find out.
(Destroying the Sleeper Archive Terminal structure present at this site will reveal the following information: "With the terminal’s destruction, knowledge is scattered, data strewn in thousand of directions. There are no answers here; only debris remains. Secrets have been lost to the void, perhaps containing among them some key to salvation from this bleak existence.") |

| Oruze Osobnyk | Cosmic Anomaly | The mysterious structure inside this deadspace pocket offers few clues as to the purpose it once served. Similar compounds -- albeit far less complex than this one -- have been reported, each featuring the same huddled architecture, evocative of the enigmatic Phantom cruiser. What relation the “Oruze” structures may have to one another remains a mystery. An enclave positioned at the heart of the construct appears to have been entirely redesigned. It is flanked by two others, which in turn are hedged in by engineering stations that themselves seem to have been redesigned. The only insight into the unique architecture is the word "Oruze Osobnyk," which continually resurfaces throughout the garbled, largely indecipherable transmissions that emanate from within. | File:Oruze Osobnyk.jpg Oruze Osobnyk File:AJOruzeOsobnyk.jpg Oruze Osobnyk |

| Phase Catalyst Node | Cosmic Anomaly | Long-distance scanners reveal a multitude of structures secreted away behind dense gas nebulas. Almost regal in appearance, the compound features various thermoelectric converters connected to one another in a strange formation, running the energy they produce through concentric arches that ascend like the stairs to a throne. Whether the architecture serves a function or exists purely for aesthetic reasons remains a mystery. | File:Phase Catalyst Node.jpg Phase Catalyst Node |
| Sleeper Data Sanctuary | Cosmic Anomaly | Data is eternal, immortal, immutable. Even when the engineers and intelligence behind its creation are gone, information, facts, and knowledge never die. Throughout this deadspace pocket, information lives and breathes, whispering hidden meanings through conduits and cables. Serene though it may be, there are forces at work – mechanical by nature, artificial in existence, enlightened by unnatural choice – that do not want information to be shared. They are unsleeping guardians protecting the universe's slumbering god, knowledge. | File:Sleeper Data Sanctuary 01.jpg Sleeper Data Sanctuary |

| Solar Cell | Cosmic Anomaly | Astrophysicists studying Sleeper sites have noted that some Sleeper structures are still operational – and by design, no less. Outposts run basic life support systems, engineering stations buzz with running motors, and stations glimmer with light, energy, and mundane activity. No known reason exists for this persistent operation, but a few clues emerge.
This cluster of thermoelectric converters is common around large solar bodies, supposedly for collecting radiation and storing energy for use throughout Sleeper colonies: a persistent generator for a dead race. Even to this day, this structure is operational, although how it distributes its energy and for what purpose is still unknown. |

| Strange Energy Readings | Cosmic Anomaly | The radiation levels of this site are high but within tolerable limits. Wavelength readouts suggest a large cache of a powerful isotope was once housed here, but no solid traces remain. The level of radiant antimatter can only be explained by an immense--and recent--matter displacement. By the way, incoming hostiles. | File:Strange Energy Readings.jpg Strange Energy Readings |
| The Line | Cosmic Anomaly | Long-range scanning reveals a chaotic line of asteroids and debris, stretching out endlessly as it twists onwards into the darkness. Upon arrival, it seems as if the place is empty and has been for quite some time. There is the sense however, that it was not always this way. Huge amounts of data are passing through the area, as if there was once a receiver for it somewhere nearby.
The already dim sunlight barely manages to pierce the clouds as they drift effortlessly through a tangled promenade of scarred and broken rock. Every few seconds, the ship's sensors simulate the sound of another small explosion nearby; one more camera drone that couldn't spot the debris. |

| The Mirror | Cosmic Anomaly | From the moment your scan probes lock on to this signature, it is immediately apparent that something big lies ahead. Almost overwhelmed by the flood of data, your ship’s sensors struggle to shut out the colossal amounts of interference flowing outwards from the local deadspace pocket. Almost none of the information is decipherable. The only hope is some weak signals being transmitted on local comms that, if homed in on, may provide some clue as to what role the facilities here once played. | |
| The Oruze Construct | Cosmic Anomaly | The mysterious structure inside this deadspace pocket offers few clues as to the purpose it once served. An enclave positioned at the heart of the construct appears to have been entirely redesigned in some way, to serve a goal now long-forgotten.

| The Ruins of Enclave Cohort 27 | Cosmic Anomaly | Entirely void of any signs of life, this small pocket of deadspace echoes a story told all over the vast stretches of the unknown regions: the demise of the ancient Sleeper race. Information portals – offering the only data that is decipherable – refer to the area as “Enclave Cohort 27”, identifying the two enclaves amongst many other Sleeper settlements. One enclave has clearly been disconnected from its power supply, whilst the other has succumbed to the same solemn fate for some other, unknown cause. | File:Enclave 27A 01.jpg The Ruins of Enclave Cohort 27 |

|---|---|---|---|
| Crippled Sleeper Preservation Conduit | Outpost Frontier Stronghold | Tiny windows looking out into space offer a glimpse past this structure's once-impressive armor plating and through to the strange sights within. Barely visible in the dim light are rows upon rows of small chambers, stretching out endlessly inside the darkened hallways of this mammoth conduit. A myriad of connective wires interlace with giant pipelines, all of them broken or badly damaged. A strange electronic interference emanates from deep inside the facility, suggesting that perhaps not everything inside has fallen into disrepair. | File:Crippled Sleeper Preservation Conduit 01.jpg Crippled Sleeper Preservation Conduit |
| Sleeper Enclave | Fortification Frontier Stronghold The Oruze Construct |
Imposing in its majesty, this giant dome stands as a testament to the technological might of the ancient Sleeper race. Even millennia old, the innumerable electronics systems within are still comparable to contemporary technology, in some cases even exceeding it. The distinctive hub-like design of this particular structure suggests that it operated as some kind of central data nexus, a shining capital amongst a digital metropolis. Although entirely functional and intact, the only signs of life within are electrical currents and the eerily constant transfers of data. |
File:Sleeper Enclave 02.jpg Sleeper Enclave |
| Sleeper Engineering Station | Solar Cell | This enigmatic structure appears to house numerous engineering subsystems. An outer defense system is still online, shielding the installation from any hostile actions. Inside the facility there is a maze of data networks tangled amongst the cables and conduits that sustain them. | File:AJSleeperEngineeringStation.jpg Sleeper Engineering Station |
| Sleeper Interlink Hub | The Oruze Construct | Distinctively Sleeper in design, this structure operates as an information hub, linking up various data sources with one another. An extraordinaryily resilient superstructure guards the flow of information inside from any disruption. | File:Sleeper Preservation Conduit 01.jpg Sleeper Preservation Conduit and attached Sleeper Interlink Hub |
| Sleeper Multiplex Forwarder | Fortification Frontier Stronghold | The Sleeper Multiplex Forwarder was built as a massive router for transferring electronic data between various Sleeper facilities. Although enclosed in super-resilient metal alloys, the size of the data cables suggests that it is capable of transmitting extraordinary amounts of information. | File:Sleeper Multiplex Forwarder 01.jpg Sleeper Multiplex Forwarder |

Tiny windows looking out into space offer a glimpse past this structure's impressive armor plating and through to the strange sights within. Barely visible in the dim light are rows upon rows of small chambers, stretching out endlessly inside the darkened hallways of this mammoth conduit. A myriad of connective wires interlace with giant pipelines, feeding into every area of the facility. Although they can be seen coiling up through the foundations, the compounds they are ferrying remain a mystery. A strange electronic interference emanates from deep within, pulsing randomly every few seconds. |

| Sleeper Thermoelectric Converter | Fortification Frontier Stronghold | Despite countless years in space, this structure appears to be entirely functional. A brief analysis of the technology inside reveals that it operates as some kind of central power source for other sleeper facilities. Faint seams in the rigid armor suggest it may even house a docking port to power the Sleeper's automated drones. | File:Sleeper Thermoelectric Converter 01.jpg Sleeper Thermoelectric Converter |
| Eroded Sleeper Thermoelectric Converter | Outpost Frontier Stronghold | After countless years in space, this structure is showing some signs of age. A brief analysis of the semi-functional technology inside reveals that it operates as some kind of auxiliary power source for other structures. Erosion in one of the armor panels exposes a small internal hangar bay, perhaps used as a docking port to power the Sleeper's automated drones. | File:Eroded Sleeper Thermoelectric Converter 01.jpg Eroded Sleeper Thermoelectric Converter |
| Malfunctioning Sleeper Multiplex Forwarder | Outpost Frontier Stronghold | The Sleeper Multiplex Forwarder may have been responsible for transferring data between various sleeper facilities. Hundreds of years in space have taken their toll, however, and brief scans of the structure show only miniscule amounts of electronic activity. | File:Malfunctioning Sleeper Multiplex Forwarder 01.jpg Malfunctioning Sleeper Multiplex Forwarder |

A cursory glance reveals the outpost to be clearly Talocan, a race long gone in time’s vacuum. However, permeating the abandoned structures are Sleeper drones, and their influence ferments the surrounding environment. In this unknown space, more questions pervade: Why are these drones here? What are they hiding?
There are secrets in this Talocan outpost, and by the looks of it, nobody will be missing these forgotten relics. But acquiring these lost trinkets of technology will not answer that one, nagging, fundamental questions: Why are these two ancient races, so utterly disparate, sharing this space, and to whom does this outpost belong? |

Talocan Structures
| Name | Habitat | Description | Image |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exchange Depot | Core Stronghold | Amidst the ruins of this Talocan outpost, the exchange depot looms, its presence foreboding. Judging from the wreckage inside, the depot was either used for imprisonment or cultural exchange; eerily, there seems to be very little difference between the two. Whatever its purpose, this structure is rather prevalent among the outposts, displaying its importance in Talocan society. | File:AJExchangeDepot.jpg Exchange Depot |
| Extraction Silo | Forgotten Perimeter Habitation Coils | This towering structure contains all the basic elements of a regular silo: cavernous storage areas, thick walls, extensive ventilation, etc. Based on the scans of this silo, however, the silo’s previous contents are unknown. The residue from inside reveals nothing known in modern times, or even odd genetic combinations. Whatever its contents, the silo emits an unfamiliar – and uneasy – presence. | File:AJTalocanExtractionSilo.jpg Extraction Silo |
| Outpost Core | Forgotten Perimeter Habitation Coils | Centuries of emptiness have left this Talocan outpost’s central hub in disarray, but the chambers and corridors inside portray a busy (if very spartan) existence. Advanced technology mingles with rustic repairs and patchwork assemblages. Some of the technology is ancient and very rudimentary in design, harkening back to cultures long gone, yet with hints of familiarity. | File:AJTalocanOutpostCore2.jpg Outpost Core |
| Coupling Array | Forgotten Perimeter Habitation Coils | The long capsules in the coupling array offer no hints as to their purpose. Archaeologists conjecture that the Array contained escape vessels, food bins, fuel resources or equipment for punishment. Some theories purport that all of the above are true. | File:AJTalocanCouplingArray.jpg Coupling Array |
| Outpost Conduit | Forgotten Perimeter Habitation Coils | Narrow tubes and electrical wiring fill the outpost conduit. Equal parts electrical artery and linking structure, the interior of this connecting structure is in disrepair, but it’s polyferrous hull keeps the ravages of space and time at bay. | File:AJTalocanOutpostConduit.jpg Outpost Conduit |
| Polestar | Forgotten Frontier Recursive Depot | The central piece of this Talocan station is the Polestar, the nerve center of the complex and the heart of Talocan survival. Though dilapidated and unusable, the Polestar’s outer hull is breached in many parts. Its propulsion jets and mini-generators are destroyed and decaying. From the burn marks around the propulsion thrusters, this Polestar has been jettisoned many times as a necessary structure for a migrant culture, but in this condition the Polestar’s current location will remain its last. | File:AJTalocanPolestar.jpg Polestar |
| Static Gate | Forgotten Perimeter Habitation Coils | This standing structure shares many similar aspects with modern acceleration gates. Whispers among Talocan lore-keepers tell of the Talocan’s firm grasp of astronautical engineering, and this gate may offer some insight into this ancient race’s knowledge. | File:AJTalocanStaticGate.jpg Static Gate |
| Observation Dome | Forgotten Perimeter Habitation Coils | Large windows and telescoping turrets peer out into the surrounding darkness. The Talocan observation dome always appears to be staring, despite the absence of its original occupants. | File:AJTalocanObservationDome.jpg Observation Dome |
