Just wanted to clear up a few points here about EVE's history:
The EVE gate disaster happened over 14,000 years ago, which saw the the majority of colonies in the New Eden cluster die off, save those on the planets best suited for life. The millennia that followed saw the colonies struggle for survival, and slowly technology and knowledge eroded away. Earth faded from memory, and most everything related to it because myth or legend, or was forgotten completely. (ex: The minmatar have an Assault Frigate named the 'wolf', but nobody knows what the hell a wolf is, just legends of it).
What were at that time the predecessors of the jove/sleepers survived, along with several other groups we can only speculate at (Terrans, for example). It would seem that the Terrans were destroyed however, and the jovian ancestors took their people and ships and moved to a remote region of the cluster. (What happened from there regarding them, the Sleepers, and the Enheduanni, is all in the Templar One novel)
Now, New Eden is not a galaxy, it is just a star cluster. The distances between star clusters are so enormous that it is impossible to bridge it using the artificial wormhole technology of stargates. 'Home', if you want to call the cluster that Earth was a part of, beyond the EVE gate, was also a star cluster. For all we know, New Eden is in the same galaxy as 'Home', or it could be in a totally different galaxy. It's impossible to tell.
Also, to address/reply to a few points:
Iron Wolf Saber - The Amarrian empress Jamyl Sarum found a Terran superweapon (which had been hidden by the Jove) thanks to a sleeper AI that is inside her head. The weapon was mounted into an Abaddon battleship and used on the Minmatar Elder fleet to devestating effect. The weapon was then hidden away, within a rogue drone hive in the system T-IPZB, where the rogue drones were gathering isogen-5 to refuel it, manipulated somehow by Sarum and the "other" in her head. The "End of the World" chronicles tell exactly what happened in the moments before, but a Thukker vessel fired on the iso-5 cache, which violently reacted, somehow resonating with every type A0 star in the cluster. From there, we got the appearance of the unstable wormholes that we see now.
Fraceska - CONCORD ships are made of the best technology available from all four races, as well as a bit of Jovian engineering. They are superior to vessels of any empire, but still inferior to actual Jovian vessels and technology. Enheduanni technology is likely superior to Jovian, but it seems they prefer to use maipulation to achieve their goals, rather than outright force. This is all just speculation, of course. In-character, nobody even knows what an Enheduanni is.
