so, I was reading templar one, and this Amaar officer said this to the first immortal soldier. "all life came from dust, but now you cannot go back to it". Obviously, the name of the game is a throwback to this passage. |

Immortal clones -> Dust 5:14 Good fit, but probably just coincidence. CCP have said that 514 comes from part of New Eden's lore, not the actual bible. |

Amarr are pretty religious, so I would assume there's a similar passage in their bible. Also, Amarr were strong advocates against using clones until they were defeated. Seems fitting. |

When the Ishukone corp took control of Intaki, the survivors of the assault fought back calling themselves the DUST of Intaki. 514 seems to have two sources. Planet 5 moon 14 which is not likely and probably just coincidence. When the four leaders of the empires met in secret, Empress Jamyl Sarum asked if any of then during their research into the new sleeper implant technology seen any odd behavior of their test subjects writing 514 on the walls with their own blood. It is theorized that the number means something about the genome. |

Heth's brow furrowed and his eyes hardened.
"What's more," continued Sarum, "all Sleeper technology has these fragments within it. The Empyreans who today wage war on the Sleepers' outposts to harvest their technology are not, in fact, mere resource gatherers, nor are they simple thieves. They are committing something far worse than theft."
"Genocide," said Heth. Sleeper consciousness are secretly creeping into these immortal soldiers of New Eden, this may or may not be voluntary (because they were taken back by capsuleers) Quote: "If you don't believe me," she said presently, "then answer me this: has the number 514 played into any of your lost cases?"
The atmosphere in the room sharpened perceptibly.
Heth leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms. At length he began to speak.
"It's been happening since the beginning," he said. "At first we thought it was localized to a particular place. Our first two cases came from the same barracks. We thought it was something a few of them had seen on joint operations. Some kind of graffiti they'd seen during a traumatic moment on Caldari Prime."
Sarum was staring at him intently.
"Then it started popping up everywhere," Heth continued. "Always the same."
"Blood-red skies, strange beings, and the number 514, often written in blood," said Shakor.
Heth looked at him, eyebrows raised. Roden showed no expression, but his eyes darted back and forth between the two men.
"Exactly that," said Heth.
Empress Sarum nodded.
Before the moment and all its implications were allowed to go any further, Roden spoke.
"What does that prove, though?"
"I beg your pardon, Mister President?" asked Sarum.
"The implants give them strange visions," said Roden. "How do you know for sure that Sleeper consciousness is the culprit, and not some," he made a flippant gesture, "random subroutine implanted as a failsafe by their engineers? For that matter, how do you know this isn't merely a quirk of the technology, soon to be ironed out by engineers? Surely those of us who are old enough GÇö" and here he nodded his head pointedly at Shakor, "GÇöremember the spectacular capsule failures of the Caldari-Gallente War. To my recollection those stories weren't much better."
The fragments pf sleeper consciousness are give the soldier strange visions: Blood-red skies (perfect fitting description of class 6 w-spaces), strange beings (could refer to anything from the sleeper culture that is so foreign and alien to them; they are remembering fragments of memories from the sleeper consciousness), and the number 514, often written in blood. The number 514 is therefore (originates from) a significant number to the sleepers, it is so significant that it is simultaneously experienced by soldiers all over the cluster who carry only fragments of sleeper consciousness. to be continued

As for Dust, it is an indicator of the enviroment we will be in (dusty envioments...), also a reference to "ashes to ashes, dust to dust" which describes the harsh life that clone soldiers have to live: death after death.
According to CCP, "Dust" is merely a reference to "ashes to ashes dust to dust" and this could be from any of the biblical references people have dug out.
The secret lies in the number five one four. |

I think we can safely say that the meaning of "Dust" is merely chosen because of the multiplicity of references it has.
Unless "Dust" is another codename for something else, like "514". However there is no evidence to support this possibility. |

I really like that in Mandarin the number are homophonous with words. 5 is a homophone for "not" and 4 for "death".
Some interpret 514 as "I want to die" through this homophone system, I think it could equally mean "Not One Death" or "I will not die".
Need some Mandarin homophone experts all up in this thread.
EDIT: Also, 510 is a homophone for "I love you"... If the 0 is you, is 514 "I love death"? IDEK. Need to do some research. |

Mandarin speaker here. The 514 "don't wanna die" interpretation is merely a homophone, and nothing more than that. The Chinese likes to play with homophones and convert popular phrases into numbers or vice versa, but any meanings given to the numbers in this way are as good as puns (it is essentially what it is). Although traditionally it is recognised that the number four which sounds like "death" is an unlucky number. Certainly it is one way of interpreting the number 514, but it is almost certainly the number 514 was not invented to contain these exact meanings. This homophone system is never used to carry exact meanings as the numbers can be always be interpreted in different ways. This is nothing more than pun or wordplay, the original 514 should carry something more definite, more exact, and it should not be something that can be loosely understood using the Chinese homophone interpretation.
Furthermore, nobody writes in puns.
So to conclude, this is an interesting interpretation, but this shouldn't be the true meaning of 514.
Chinese language is not some magical OMG EXOTIC ALIEN LANGUAGE that automatically gives meaning to everything unknown. |

"Don't want to die" is the primary motivation for almost all of Templar One's behaviours.
DUST 514 is developed in Shanghai and the name could be a nod to this.
FTR: I don't think this is THE answer. Apparently devs have said that EVE players have enough information to figure out what the reference is and I would facepalm pretty hard if the Sleepers were intentionally making this reference... but I would like it if this homophone was consciously included as one of the possible layers of meaning. |

This is every instance of chapter 5, verse 14 in the Bible.
I think it's the wrong place to be looking, even though the Amarr are related to modern Catholicism... but if anyone wants to arbitrarily declare a particular book the significant one, have at it. My favourite is that 514 refers to Mark 5:14:

Guys, I think the 514 refers to April 14th, which I think is EVE's "birthday". Could have sworn I heard this, but I could be wrong... |

Back to the topic though, there are a lot of good theories on the significance of "514" - and as mentioned, the devs have made a specific point to correct anyone who calls it "five fourteen" in interviews.
How's this for a theory?

In this directory within CCP domain namespace: http://ultra.ccp.com/mail/program/js/tiny_mce/plugins/xhtmlxtras/css/ is located file named popup.css It's size is ... 514 bytes Wow...
Actually it is just small part of (seemingly now defunct) RoundCube web mail client on CCP intranet... Poor server that everybody had forgotten long ago... Covered with thick layer of DUST... With #514 somewhere within it's innards...
EDIT: i'v just googled site:ccp.com 514 The search result was one hit only... |

I wonder if Dust 514 was hinting towards the games full release. Dust 5/14

I have severall theory's about 514. I believe It has to do with the creation of EVE. either the Beta or the game itself. Not sure when the Beta was created, but i believe Eve itself was released somewhere near 5th of may 2003. So 5-5. It could also perhaps be a reverence to the first beta testers or perhaps the first corporations. or perhaps the number of patches, untill now. I kinda have the feeling its a tribute to something... Either way i think it has something to do with when the creators (Reynir Har+¦arson, Hilmar P+¬tursson, etc) saw there long lasting dream come true.... |
