We have seen these Enheduanni
before... |

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.
Look at this to help imagine what he is saying... Earth to known universe a star cluster would be equivalent to the solar interstellar neighborhood |

There is a void between galaxies so massive that Milky Way could pass through it and still have something like a billion light year clear on either side. There are still VY Canis Majoris is one of the largest stars known. It is so big that its diameter would go out to Jupiter if put in Earths Orbital path.
Fixed that for ya ^_^ |

Look at this to help imagine what he is saying... Earth to known universe a star cluster would be equivalent to the solar interstellar neighborhood Not exactly. The "Solar Interstellar Neighborhood" is about the size of a "Region" in EVE. In addition, star clusters can sometimes move independently of galaxies. The New Eden cluster can still be an independent "micro-galaxy": http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/2011/08/01/the-smallest-mini-galaxy-in-th/Given that New Eden has over 7,000 linked systems (and an unknown number of unlinked) this would make it several times more star-filled than the real-world example given above.
I am in the camp that does not signify an mass of object bound by dark matter smaller than a globular cluster to be classified as an galaxy... IE a mass of dark matter holding objects in gravitational lock does not qualify it as an galaxy....
this is why we have a distinction between globular clusters and dwarf galaxies....
remember Pluto is not a planet it is a Plutoid (dwarf Planet) even though it is in orbit and has a satellite |

Of course, New Eden is lenticular, not globular. I'm not saying it isn't a cluster (Oh... it's a CLUSTER sometimes!) but rather that said cluster need not be part of a larger galaxy.
cluster only signifies that it is a grouping of stars but not as large as a galaxy... and yea there are clusters that operate independently of galaxies... lenticular or otherwise
buuuttttttt clusters are usually older than galaxies...... ^_^
or the oldest part sometimes |
