The most mysterious and elusive of all the peoples of New Eden, the Jove number only a fraction of any of their neighbors, but their technological superiority makes them powerful beyond all proportion.

Appearance

Although definitely human, the Jovians often seem to the other races as though they are not, the reason being that they embraced genetic engineering as the way to solve any and all the problems which plague the human race. Over the thousands of years since, the Jovians have experimented with every kind of genetic modification their technology allowed. As their powers grew, they began to believe they were capable of anything, and this led them into increasingly more bizarre mutations of their bodies and minds, a policy rigorously backed up by strict governmental control.

Jovians have a very strange appearance. They are mainly about four feet tall, and their skin is a grayish yellow, their veins clearly visible. They have also lost all hair on their bodies. The Jovian language is a very strange tongue. speech consists entirely of vowels and fluctuates rapidly in frequency

Government

The highest known governmental body is the Jovian Directorate within the Jove Empire, though this has never been confirmed or denied by the Jove. The structure and purpose of the Jovian Directorate remains uncertain.

Military

Obviously is the strongest among of the empires, the Jove Navy is a powerful group but small. They rely on information and their advanced weaponry to destroy their opponents.

Culture

The Jovians crave knowledge, any knowledge at all. Their superior technology has enabled them to infiltrate the other races with bugging devices and sensors, giving them unrivaled access to information, which they use to maintain their strong position among the races. The Jovians sell a lot of their advanced technology equipment to the other races and it is this, more than anything else, which keeps the others at bay.

Jovian society is mysterious and difficult to comprehend. For this and other reasons it remains very much closed to the other races, and few foreigners reside within the Jovian Empire

History

Much about the Jove remain uncertain, but has been determine to be one of the oldest races in New Eden.

First Jovian Empire

The First Jovian Empire dates as far back as to the collapse of the EVE Gate. Even though the collapse of the EVE Gate had a negative effect on the Jovian society, the effect was only minor and the Jove quickly recovered back to a state of being an advanced society within a few centuries. This marked the birth of the First Jovian Empire which would last for nine millennia.

The eventual downfall of this empire was brought about by the Jovian Elders, though the exact details are shrouded in mystery, though few speculate that the likely contributor to the downfall of the First Jovian Empire could be the Jovian Disease which is said to have appeared as a result of the "Shrouded Days".

The Jovian Elders maintained a strict governmental control over genetic alterations until it lost control a few generations.

Jovian Disease

Years of genetic engineering formed of the Jovian Disease, a deadly disease the only afflict the Jove, which caused millions of Jove to die as a result of interfering with their basic instincts, curbing their aggression and sexual instincts and cultivating strange new ones from the Shrouded Days. The Jove tried to fix the problem, only to discover their DNA was destroyed beyond repair. The Jove tried many things to fight against the disease, but found that their advanced technology was ineffective against it.

Finally, they created the three Jovian Motherships and placed the majority of their population into cryo-stasis, leaving their home territories in the process. Anyone who showed symptoms of the disease were left behind to perish. However, the relocation failed. The Jovian Disease continued to afflict the Jove.

Despite this, the Jove escaped the chaos that followed the closure of EVE remarkably well. Within the space for only a few centuries they had recovered, and were once again running an advanced society. They settled in a number of systems and founded an empire lasting for nine millennia, but even though the Jove are by far the most technologically advanced races of New Eden. They have not recovered the splendor of their first empire as the disease within them keeps them from reproducing thus preventing them from increasing their numbers sufficiently for their current empire to flourish.

Second Jovian Empire

The Jovians were reunited by Miko Bour and formed the Second Jovian Empire under the leadership of Miko Bour and lasted approximately 2500 years. In a desperate attempt to finally rid themselves of the Jovian Disease, as no cure was found, the Jovians decided to abandon their home worlds in Curse and settle in the regions J7HZ-F and A821-A where their third Empire is residing to this day.

Third Jovian Empire

Since the Shrouded Days, they have been trying to put the pieces together again, but their DNA-structure has in many ways been damaged beyond repair.

The current of the Jovian Empires has prevailed for a bit more than 500 years. Despite the reallocation of home worlds the Jovian Disease is still prevalent among the Jovian society continuing their steady decline.

Since introducing capsuleer technology to the Caldari to the Ishukone Corporation, defeating the Amarr at The Battle of Vak-Atioth and participate in the establishing of CONCORD; the Jove have become more reclusive on the interplanetary political scene with very little public communication with the other empires.
