They should change the name to, Tanks 514

Revelations 5 : 14
Some interpintations of
Ephesians 5 : 14 applies
and Ezikel 5 : 14.

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?

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.

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 know.

You should seriously share...don't lord over everybody with the info! lol Actually I'd prolly do the same thing

It's fun, you should try it some time

Since were all learning something, I have a related question who the kitten is Mordu.

Ah excellent, thank you, I'm really starting to dig the lore of New Eden. /goes off to read a few more chronicles.

Dum question but yea...why??

Is there still only 514 null sec systems in Eve?

Is there still only 514 null sec systems in Eve?

No, there's over 3000

I should have clarified it as conquerable null sec, excluding the npc regions. But if theres over 3,000 i'm going to say even without NPC regions there is more then 514.. dam

If you want to dive into it, take a look at Dotlan. It is the best map navigator web site known to capsuleer.
Click on "Universe" on the top and then navigate through Regions and Planets.

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.

false, the Amarrians are indeed and Christian/Islamic community, it specifically says that they branched off of the Catholic Church

Reading the chronicle "514" will put you in the right direction.

Also, read Templar one.


Nothing is explicitly revealed but the answers are in the lore for those who seek them. Just gotta put the information together from different sources :)

Hello? Amarr? lmao. As another poster pointed out, EVE has had several biblical references in the past.

So what about Amarr? They have some weird space religion with no mention of any of the religious myth from our own time in it that I can see. Anyway, if you want to pretend like you're shooting guys in the year 25000 for the glory of Allah or Odin or Joseph Smith, knock yourself out.

Oh, and exodus/revelations/trinity are not religious words. They are used by a couple of the Abrahamic religions in their texts, but they're not explicitly religious. I think it's more likely CCP chose those names because of the gravity them seem to have due to their common associations, rather than because CCP is a religious game developer and EVE is a religious game.

No one said CCP is a religious developer or EVE is a religious game. Simply that there are references, and when your making a virtual society as big and deep as EVE you have to do a lot of writing. So its only natural there would be references to and inspiration taken from much of modern society, including something like the bible which is wide spread enough that even non believers are fairly familiar with its content and themes.

I am not religious at all, but since I am playing Amarr I took my name from the biblical passage.
Revelations 514 means - And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

Pretty cool with the clones and whatnot. But to add to the discussion I think you have a valid point.
