No, just kidding. I just finished The Empyrean Age and just bought Templar One. I don't know exactly how President Fouritain handles it, all I know is that capsuleers had a huge part of the end result, as is commonplace.
Keep in mind, The Empyrean Age wrecked the Caldari roleplaying community in EVE. I don't RP, but I have played EVE with those who do. If you read the chronicles about the Caldari people before the book, a rich back story on their culture gets boiled down to Marxist class warfare. I could go into it at length as to why, but that's not what this thread is about.
The reason I mention this is I think the recent "current events" in EVE in regards to the Caldari are meant to erase what seemed like a dumbed-down reimagining of the Caldari in permanent marker.
That being said, the Caldari Prime occupation was one of the coolest things CCP did for the EVE universe. The fact the story evolved was awesome, although they really should have put that fire out sooner in Malaken.

as someone who knows nothing about any of this, where do you start? also i clicked chronicles, is the stuff at the top the newest stuff? oldest? who writes this? fans or more dedicated authors?
I believe nearly all of it is written by CCP employees. In fact, a lot of the earlier chronicles were by game designers doing it on the side. They have had dedicated authors. Tony G was one, he wrote the first and third books.
Now, the ISD news articles I'm not so sure about. There are community volunteers who believe write some, but I'm not so sure. They used to be very frequent 4-5 years ago, more sporadic now. |

At any rate, if they were retconning any kind of interesting history and culture, that's a shame. I guess that I'll have to start reading about that background at some point. Any kind of starting point Chronicle wise that you'd like to give me?
