The Jove Directorate is one of the oldest remaining Empires in New Eden. They never lost their technology after the EvE gate closed to the Home Galaxy. Their basic T1 ship is about equal to a T2 ship of any of the other empires. Their T2 and T3 ships are all but invulnerable to damage.
They are also experts of genetic engineering and the transfer of conscious it is from them that Capsuleer technology was born. And the mercenary tech is from Sleepers. And the Sleepers/Jovians were once the same group. So a basic Jove suit would be equal to at least a advanced if not proto suit of any other empire. |

Their suits would also be more organic than technological in origin. |

So, technically you could argue that pod technology is a form of icky Jove forced reproduction. Hmmmm.
If anything the Jove wish to remain neutral in the conflicts of the Four Empires. The disease that is killing them is far more important than the petty politics of less advanced humans, but they will defend their space from any aggression. Maybe if the Sleepers actually awaken or take over the first generation of Dust mercenaries you would see a more radical splinter faction.
The more evil group and the cthulhu of space would be the Enheduanni. They are so potent that even the Jovian directorate fears them. |

The Sleepers are those Jovians who attempted to cure the disease through cybernetics and virtual reality. But they lose their physical form and remained inside cyberspace free of the disease that is still killing the Jovians. For all intents and purposes they are separate species now. |

All that remains of this civilization are the drones and empty installations so that much is still true. Just so no one really explained why the Sleepers went into cyberspace. it was an attempt to get around the plague. |

Its described in better detail in the Templar One book. I highly recommend reading it.
The Jovians aren't all dead. The disease is ravaging their race but they are still very much active. Well in so far as anyone intruding into their space is destroyed immediately. Maybe we will see more of them as they search more aggressively for a cure or after they have found one.
The Sleepers remain in their virtual world free of the disease that is destroying the Jove. They are nearly a separate species. Though the reason the mercenaries are being driven mad is the consciousness contained in Sleeper tech is an actual person. So how that develops will be highly interesting. |

Also sleepers are in hibernation due to something else killing them all off.... whatever it was it killed the talocan and probably all the other old world races off.
In correct sir. It was the radiation fall out of the EvE gate collapse that started the genetic corruption of the Jovians. In an attempt to find a cure the Sleepers began experimenting on the other ancient Empires of the time to rebuild their corrupted DNA. Using virtual reality they sought refuge until they could permanently cure the disease. They wiped out the Yan Jung and the Talocan. They fled beyond New Eden (connected via wormholes) to continue their research.
The Jovians then turned their efforts to genetic manipulation to reverse the damage done from the radiation. Same origin species but diverged in application of the cure. |

The fuc'k' this is confusing!
They sought the cure via a different path and in so doing diverged from the Jovians significantly. In EvE when you go through the Wormholes you find the remains of those installations. Who is to say that even further out there are not active sleeper installations still continuing research to find a cure? What if they allowed their technology to fall into the hands of the younger Empires, implanting themselves with Sleeper technology then they just download their conscious into those new forms, free of the disease but with all their accumulated knowledge and able to rebuild their empire?
Not so much evolution just a divergent path. Jovians turned to biotechnology to find a cure. The Sleepers turned to technology and artificial reality. |

The Jovians are still human in form. Their enemy on the other hand? Probably Cthulhu. |

Wait, I'm thinking of some other race that have genetically engineered them selves into a genetic corner they can't get out of.
The Jovians and Asgard emerged around the same time, the Jovians have always been that way. And it wasn't until later in Stargate that it emerged the Asgard were dying. |
