You seem to post a lot of stuff from IRC or whatever, so normally I'd dismiss the idea that 514 is in fact a Christian reference because it'd be really absurd if true, but... seriously? It's seriously a Biblical reference? Or are you just shooting from the hip?

Best reasonable thoery so far is its isogen 514 which is unusal becuase isogen 5 was very hard to make (and no longer existing) but isogent is something that sleepers where rather fond of. we just use it to make warp containment and gravity drives and the sorts and in best cases warheads.
KripnawtiQ Prime L.O.T.I.S. Legacy Rising 206	Posted - 2012.09.06 04:52:00 - [9] - Quote I tried for 2 hours one day to find the answer to this question. I read through page after page of forum posts...followed links to clues and even found some interesting theories. But, for my part, I couldn't find any posts that actually gave a straight answer (not on EVE forums anyway.
Rugman91 Deep Space Republic 143	Posted - 2012.09.06 04:57:00 - [10] - Quote May the gods guide you in your quest

Sees-Too-Much 332	Posted - 2012.09.06 05:02:00 - [11] - Quote I'm told it's explained in Templar One which I haven't read. As I understand it it's related to a revolutionary group called "The Dust of Intaki" which lead some manner of rebellion on Intaki V moon 14.

It's seriously a Biblical reference? Or are you just shooting from the hip? How would it be "absurd"? If you don't believe the Bible to be true, then at least it would be an amazing fantasy. The only reason anyone has a problem with it, is because it's "religious". However, no one has issues with books like "His Dark Materials" or "Narnia" until they learn the religious/anti-religious undertones, and even then they don't really make a stink.

I don't think it's explained in Templar One, considering that no where on the internet you can find any explanation of it. CCP has yet to tell anyone what it means.

My issue with it is that the EVE galaxy is far-flung from our galaxy and tens of thousands of years into the future. It's about as far removed from anything that might currently exist in our 21st century Earth culture as you can imagine. It would be absurd to reference a religion that doesn't even exist in the fictional setting they've crafted. But now that we know it was his own guesswork we can stop talking about religion.
Athene Alland Red Fox Brigade 108	Posted - 2012.09.06 05:32:00 - [17] - Quote DUST 5 1 4... not sure on the Dust part but 5 1 4, well there is this or this (fan fiction) and a read of Templar One may help as well (and is a damn good book too). But at the moment meanings are only hinted at. - 'Ad Mortis Nos Tripudio' -
Nova Knife Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 786	Posted - 2012.09.06 06:20:00 - [18] - Quote Athene's link in the post gives some cool hints. But the full meaning of 514 has not yet been revealed in public. Maybe soon they'll tell you.

BestNameEva Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 86	Posted - 2012.09.06 12:24:00 - [23] - Quote its because there will be battles with 514 people at once.........probably not I'm just wishing
Muscaat 514 EVE Markets 14	Posted - 2012.09.06 12:32:00 - [24] - Quote The Biblical reference theory actually carries a lot of weight. CCP have often named their expansions with a Biblical theme - EVE Online's original subtitle was The Second Genesis, with expansions Exodus, Revelations I and II, Trinity, Apocrypha all carrying the theme. So while it's not been confirmed, to me it seems the most likely of all I've heard. cf this post at the EVE Online forums...

Its a popular belief that DUST is an acronym because it is always capitalized which is about the only thing that makes any sense. I also read that the title has something to do with cloning, which could further support some of the theories that the numbers represent a specific text (many texts that have been proposed have to do with rising again) though the source is unknown. (Except for gridboss)
arimal lavaren L.O.T.I.S. Legacy Rising 186	Posted - 2012.09.06 13:09:00 - [26] - Quote Since were all learning something, I have a related question who the kitten is Mordu.

You can read more about Mordu in Templar One novel. But if would, I suggest you to start from the first novel Empyrean Age.
Gridboss BetaMax. 185	Posted - 2012.09.06 13:45:00 - [30] - Quote DUST itself is pretty obvious, especially if you read Templar One. However, the 514 part is much harder and no one has gotten it yet (though there have been instances in the past where people have come close, but not quite all the way). And I'm not giving hints as to which ones were right, or for getting part way again (heck, chances are I won't even confirm if someone got it right). To quote the Gunnery Sergeant in ME2 "No credit for partial answers maggot!"
