DUST Search - So what does the 514 stand for?

Foehammerr wrote:

If you're good enough at digging through the internet, there are some chronicles from 2012/13 about the Battle of Caldari Prime that explain this to an extent, or at least use the number in the lore to justify its presence. Some of it is in the fiction portal on the main site, but there are others that disappeared somewhere, and i don't know where.

If i recall correctly, when the older generation of clones were created, they used Sleeper implants to make them so that consciousness can be transferred from one clone to another in a way similar to Capsuleers, but more efficient and tailored for infantry use. Some troopers were unlucky enough to have their implants malfunction and have their minds taken over by the sleepers, not unlike Jamyll Sarum; except instead of going into a raving seizure-like fit, they went almost insane and went on mass killing sprees, attacking both friendly and enemy forces. Before dying due to wounds suffered at the hands of the people they attacked or by their own, they would write the number 514 in their own blood before dying completely; their consciousness destroyed by the sleepers, thus rendering them unable to be revived in a new clone.

This was colloquially known as "Going 514".

What does the 514 stand for? In fanfest, 2 years ago, the devs said it was top secret and they were ordered to not tell anyone just yet. So now 2 years later is it a good time to share the secret?

I mean rather than may 14th I cnt group up anything useful I mean hey its a weird combo for a coordinate deep in space with intreaging anamolies, or the headquarters for substantial evidence, info, or the amassed fortunes gathered by the predecessors of eve universe but nooo! It could be a date of initiation for something in the lines of a massive stroke.... but the judging by the progression of this game and how they cant even string a massive lobby with 50+ players or include new maps, revamp stuff design new weapons and officer suits, and how they r just sitting there gathering the money from the micro transactions can only mean it is nothing other than complete insignificance to where we at I'm already a demon, heaven isn't my kind of place anyway

Slim123121 Williams warravens Imperium Eden 9	Posted - 2016.02.02 08:29:00 - [17] - Quote 514. Here's my theory... Go back to your childhood and remember a show called Yu-Gi-Oh!. During one scene, of one episode, of one season, Kaiba's facility is being hacked by a certain group of radicals. During this craziness, Kaiba issues a code KC514. It meant either erase everything and destroy it, or save it to a back-up. I can't remember the rest, but there is the earliest recollection I have of 514 appearing in anything else. Assault CK.O, MK.O,GK.O. Allotek Plasma Cannon + Lia Dia Packed AV Grenade. Roll up to me tankers!
