Discovery of the Sisters of EVE

Monks of the digital void, decoding the Precursors' final whispers.

The Sisters of EVE are a monastic order dedicated to uncovering the lost history of New Eden through the analysis of ancient Jove archaeological artifacts and ruins. Unlike other factions, they do not seek military dominance or political power; their sole purpose is to preserve and decipher the echoes of the past left behind by the Precursors. They serve as the universe's primary archaeologists, piecing together the tragic story of New Eden's origins and the catastrophic events that led to the current state of the galaxy.

Quick Facts

Key technology: Archaeological data recovery and analysis

Lore & Background

Operating out of a hidden monastery, the order recruits novices who are willing to dedicate their lives to the tedious and dangerous work of scanning ruins and recovering ancient data. Their research has focused on understanding the Jove and other ancient civilizations, but contrary to some claims, they have not revealed that the Amarr Empire was corrupted by Jove manipulation; rather, the Amarr's transformation into a slave state is understood within canon as the result of internal religious and political developments. The Sisters remain neutral in factional conflicts, often coming into conflict with those who wish to weaponize or suppress their findings.

Reader's Guide

The history of New Eden is shrouded in mystery, but the Sisters of EVE have dedicated their existence to peeling back these layers. They believe that the universe was once home to a highly advanced civilization known as the Jove, who manipulated the Amarr people into a state of slavery and religious fervor. Through the recovery of 'Sisters'—digital fragments containing the memories of the past—the order has reconstructed a timeline where the Amarr were once free. Their research suggests that the current political landscape is built on lies propagated by those in power to maintain control over the populace. The Sisters do not seek to change the present but to ensure the truth survives. They operate as a neutral force, often clashing with factions like the Gallente or Caldari who may have their own agendas regarding the Precursor technology.
