Anyway, the eve gate, which is bigger than this one but still have a very close affiliation to the Amar's religion.
Whats most likely is that they feel that creating anything even similar to the EVE gate is an affront to their religion seeing as the old one was destroyed. so they deployed a massive attack force to attempt to destroy the gate.
Clearly this didn't happen... whatever happens next is sometime in the future.
It is also CCP's way of continuing the thread of the capsuleers (the players) are getting so powerful that they are starting to threaten the State (o7), Federation, Republic, and Empire. Amarr could be using their religion as an excuse to take out the capsuleers who are working on a new gate as this would draw power from them; same shtick the Holy Roman Empire and other religious countries did. "Jerusalem is great for trade. Let's say we need to take the Holy Lands" type of stuff.
Think of it this way. 75 Titans were lost in Titanomachy that is now EVE lore. Compare that the State losing the Leviathan over Caldari Prime that resulted in Heth forcing someone to commit ritualistic suicide (as Mark726 so perfectly said: "The Caldari are a cheery bunch") and basically resulted in huge upheaval for the Caldari. That Leviathan had
thousands of soldiers to man in it, to keep it clean, to keep the weapons ready, all that basic stuff. A capsuleer in a Leviathan can do all of that with
one person. Capsuleers are free agents that can get access to weapons technology that rivals that of the Empires. Continuing with the "if this were all real" shtick, if FCON (the winners of the Titanomachy fight) or any other BIG Alliance were to combine their forces they could potentially destroy one of the four Empires.
My guess is CCP is starting to push more down that line: "Officials in the Caldari State have begun to push for additions to the Caldari Navy. One unnamed official stated, quote 'we have reach a critical moment. Large coalitions of capsuleers are quickly becoming the greatest threat to the continued existence of our State. There are more capsuleers and they have access to far greater technology than the Guristas; not seeing them as a threat sooner was an act of extreme shortsightedness.' unquote. Chilling words from within the State. Our next story: Quafe, used to fight Derj's Disease?"
And as Jenza said, the trailer itself is something that hasn't happened yet. You can tell because, seriously, who the HELL uses a Phoenix? (Caldari Dreadnaught that is considered horrible because the weapons they can use are GARBAGE)
