The Gallente restored themselves to a high-functioning technological society approximately one hundred years before the Caldari, building the first lastingly democratic republic of the new era in the form of the Gallente Federation. The terraforming of Caldari Prime was incomplete at the time of the wormhole's collapse, however, and the planet remained environmentally inhospitable for millennia. The Gallente homeworld was originally settled by descendants of the French colonists of Tau Ceti Caldari Prime on the other hand was purchased by a multi-national megacorporation that began to terraform it. The Gallente and the Caldari homeworlds are situated in the same star system. The Minmatar Republic, taking as inspiration the ideals and practices of the Gallente Federation, is presently a strong military and economic power actively seeking the emancipation of their brethren and all other slaves. However, much of their populace remain enslaved by the Amarr. Generations later after the battle between the Amarr Empire and the Jove Directorate, many Minmatar took the opportunity to escape and successfully rebelled against their enslavers, later forming their own government in New Eden. Armed with this new technology and strengthened by their faith in their god, the Amarr expanded their empire by conquering and enslaving several races, including the Minmatar, who had only just begun colonizing other planets. The Amarr, a monotheistic theocratic empire, were the first of the playable races to rediscover faster-than-light travel.

The states based around these colonies make up the five major empires in EVE Online: the Amarr Empire, the Caldari State, the Gallente Federation, the Minmatar Republic and the Jove Directorate. Five colonies managed to return to prominence, each eventually rebuilding their own society. Cut off from Earth and its much-needed supplies, the colonists of New Eden starved. However, when the natural wormhole collapsed, it destroyed the gate. Dozens of colonies were founded and a structure was built to stabilise the wormhole a giant gateway bearing the name 'EVE'. Everything changed with the discovery of a natural wormhole leading to an unexplored region of space, later given the name 'New Eden'. This expansion led to competition and fighting over available resources. Set more than 21,000 years in the future, the background story of EVE Online explains that humanity, having used up most of Earth's resources, began colonizing the rest of the Milky Way. 5.2 Third-party applications and the EVE API Project.On Mathe game was again made available in boxed form in stores, released by Atari. On Januit was announced that EVE Online would be distributed via Steam. Initially launched with a limit of a 24 hour window for skills to be trained (as long as the last skill that begins training was within that 24 hour window), in 2015, this time window limit was removed players may now have a maximum of 50 skills queued for training.ĮVE Online was first released in North America and Europe in May 2003, it was published from May to December 2003 by Simon & Schuster Interactive, after which CCP purchased the rights back and began to self-publish via digital distribution. This has led to the game being referred to in some quarters as 'Skill Queue Online'. The range of activities available to the player is facilitated by a character advancement system based upon training skills in real time, even while not logged into the game. Players are also able to run missions, akin to quests found in other MMOs. Players of EVE Online are able to participate in a number of in-game professions and activities, including mining, piracy, manufacturing, trade, exploration and combat (both player versus environment and player versus player). The star systems can contain several phenomena including, but not limited to, moons, planets, space stations, wormholes, asteroid belts and 'deadspace' complexes (which in reality, are like the dungeons found in more 'traditional' MMOs). Most star systems are connected to one or more other star systems by means of stargates or jump gates.

Players pilot customizable ships through a region of space composed of over 7,500 star systems. It is a player-driven persistent-world massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in a science-fiction space setting. EVE Online is a video game developed by CCP Games.
