I remember learning about this way back when I first played EVE and thinking it was so good. Even more, this whole thing is an entire self contained grand sci-fi adventure/survival story (like, The Martian before The Martian) but it's just one tiny drop in the enormous bucket that is EVE.

[@captainbenzie]

Yup, there's so much yet to come and cover!!

[@zoopvonbeezle6241]

Old Man Star has a special place in my heart, it was the first system in which I went looking for PvP with a friend when we were new to the game. As you can imagine it ended badly. This lore only adds to that experience. Wonderful video, thank you!

[@captainbenzie]

It's a very cool system and glad that it holds personal memories for you!

[@thereisasecretquest7658]

I remember going there over and over after joining galmil

[@lavalion9751]

Never knew this, but always wondered about the name myself. Love these lore videos. With a little tweaking, this story would make an excellent movie.

[@captainbenzie]

There are many stories in EVE that would make great films! The Thera incident, Crielere... Loads more videos like this coming!!

[@lavalion9751]

@@captainbenzie I look forward to it. o7

[@samuelthompson5815]

Awesome video. I’ve always enjoyed your Eve Online videos, but imo this was excellent. Your narration style is perfect for a quick “bite-sized” lore video. Not too long, not too short, but still covered it with enough detail to make it entertaining. I’d love to see you do more quick lore vids like this. 👍👍 You’re a good story teller.

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you so much! I've been really excited to release this video - more like it on the way!

[@vedantbhatnagarmathur4488]

Wow! Although fictional, this is truly a testament to the immense will power of humans and our ability to overcome almost insurmountable obstacles with sheer will and resolve. The human mind and body are truly an incredible feat of nature, capable of glorious things.

[@captainbenzie]

Absolutely agree! Makes me question if I personally would be able to cope, though!!

[@dsduckworth]

Excellent video and story. I have played Eve for almost 15 years but I have never heard the story. Keep up the great content.

[@captainbenzie]

There are so many amazing stories in this game! I've got two more uploaded to release over the coming weeks and working on more!

[@dragongold3]

I actually really like the storytelling that you do with these types of videos.

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you ☺️

[@Acion_89]

Out of all the years playing eve I never once sat down and read into any lore available, I always logged to experience the ships themselves and the combat. That was a fantastic story and makes me want sit down read through the lore as early as it dates to it's current. Thank you for that experience Benzie.

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you!!! That means a lot to me and I've been so anxious to release this video - I'm glad folks are enjoying it!

[@devilmonkey427]

I miss Eve and all the lore. Please make a series like this. You could talk about the titan named Steve, the black monolith, COSMOS D.E.D. Deadspace Sites like the skeleton comet and others.

[@captainbenzie]

I've covered Jita IV-4 in this series too, and have two more uploaded for the next few weeks and plenty more planned! Glad you enjoyed!

[@neal1256]

A well done review of an often forgotten historical point of interest in New Eden !

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you ☺️🚀

[@smoore6461]

Great series, i cant believe i missed these! Love the lore and history!

[@captainbenzie]

Glad you like them! They're fun to make!

[@doubleohryo7606]

I'm so glad that I got recommended this video! Had me in tears by the end of it and I was so surprised to learn that he founded CreoDron. Amazing storytelling nonetheless, thank you.

[@captainbenzie]

I'm really glad that you enjoyed! Thank you!!

[@SuperGamli]

Lived close to OMS my whole EVE carrier. Never heard that story, well presented as well!

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you! ☺️

[@Onimusouka]

This is amazing. I hope you do, or there are more stories like this. I'd watch them.

[@captainbenzie]

I've done one for Jita IV-4 already, two more to come in May, and working on more! Glad you enjoyed!

[@M5onster]

Just stumbled upon this video; wow. Very interesting and compelling story. I must visit this system and check it out.

[@captainbenzie]

You should!

[@SchwartzBOSS]

I love it, would like to see more videos about EVE Lore

[@captainbenzie]

Glad you enjoyed! I've got three more already uploaded and working on others!

[@Ruhrich92]

I'd love to see a thorough breakdown about the Arek'Jalaan in Eram. Site One in Eram has multiple container boxes containing books about player driven lore centered around shattered systems, Thera, WH's and discovering the sleepers I believe. I know you love J space like me, so strongly suggest you give it a look. There's also a mysteriously unfinished stargate being constructed but...its been under construction for almost 7 years...I doubt itll be online anytime soon. Or maybe its gone now-I havent been in..man-2 years or so? I never had the gumption/community reach to seek out the project managers (each of the books at Site One lists which in game player/group was responsible for the various projects). It was a big part of what hooked me into EVE at first; only to realize all those projects were scrapped around 2016 to make way for the Triglavian invasion instead. Coming from the Souls series with their environmental story telling I especially appreciated the NPC corp/lore of Eifyr & Co...it was founded by a Caldari defector who got into the drug trade-I mean totally legitimate inplant manufacturing business with the support of Seibestor tribe. As a Minmatar who loves the Drake, Tengu, and ...uhm...inplants 😉 I felt connected. Eifyr & Co dont have stations anywhere else in New Eden except Eram and next door Elgoi. Bonus points: Yrmori is also next door, which seems inconsequential but any fan of the Clear Skies fan film will recognize the system name. My EVE career started with Eram as my first home, being 3 jumps from Hek (felt far enough away from Jita gankers) and jumping into Yrmori which seemed to often have a WH for my first trips into the mysterious and daunting J space for the good ores back when mining felt like a good idea. Its a POI chock full of content and history that I feel many would enjoy learning, but myself included, cant be bothered to dig deep enough to really get all the good bits. Cheers! o7

[@captainbenzie]

Excellent ideas and I've learned a lot myself here!

[@borninvincible]

Hell yeah, more of this please. One of the biggest reasons I fell in love with Eve was the lore. One of my first adventures was traveling back to the original Eve gate!

[@captainbenzie]

I did a Jita IV-4 one a while ago and I've got two more uploaded for release, with many more to make!

[@Mr.NonExistant]

Thank you, we needed more lore videos. Keep it up, the video was very interesting.

[@captainbenzie]

Glad you enjoyed! More to come!

[@anthonyb248]

🎉🎉🎉 Benzie from 2 years ago is back! You sound happy, I missed you 😂😂😂

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you! Check my other EVE Online videos, having a great time!!

[@SkullyBones448]

Before I got echoes I used to watch KZbin vids of eve online stories. Like the way the judge robbed the biggest alliance, etc. i always found the player stories so fascinating. How regions of space got taken or how players banded up and reclaimed there territories. I always wanted to play eve, but it was hard to get into a game that has been going on for so long but at the same time I couldn’t be stuck to a computer due to real life. Echoes was that middle ground, it did have a promising start, players did compete for territories etc. but then it fell apart quickly. The cracks appeared and turned into craters. It’s promise broken, it’s potential wasted.

[@captainbenzie]

EVE Online doesn't require the dedication folks think it does. On Day One I was making 50m ISK an hour in a Tristan. I could log in and feel like I achieved more in 30 mins than I could in several hours of EVE Echoes

[@goldy9184]

Brillient vid cap! I love it! you're the perfect person to narrate EVE lore! and there's so much of it! I'd suggest you start an entire series of this kind of vids, to help bring capsuleers closer to the word's lore, something that I really miss out on as I am too lazy to get there on my own :) GexioS out.

[@captainbenzie]

Glad you enjoyed! This is the second in this series, having already done Jita IV-4, with two more to come in May, and plenty more beyond!!

[@militarymoose87]

Fictional or not it's amazing what we are capable of when we break free of our self imposed mental prisons and really put our minds to things.

[@captainbenzie]

Yup! Makes me really think about how I personally would cope with that... And I can't help but think I'd have just walked out an airlock.

[@militarymoose87]

@Captain Benzie I'm sure some days he probably thought of that. I mean the use of detonating rockets at your own ship for propulsion was probably a hair line mental breakdown. "Can't be that bad. I'm already going to die slowly as I drift into a void of nothing. If it works I might have a chance at reaching something, or I could go out faster with a bang. Either way I've got nothing more to lose." HEHE HEHE HAHAHA

Thinking about getting back on eve. Is it alright time to get back in it or no

[@samuelthompson5815]

100% It’s a great time to jump back in, new wave of content and expansions on the way. Now is a perfect time to come back from your break. (Eve is more of a hobby, we all take breaks now and again 😊)

[@captainbenzie]

Honestly, I've played on and off since 2012, I came back full time last year and this is absolutely the best it's ever been imho

[@COMMANDERHAWK22]

what is your take on star citizen ?

[@captainbenzie]

That I need a better computer to play it 😂 Seriously though, I really like the concept of it, I have it and have played a bit, but it doesn't run well on my laptop at all 😂

[@TheKauff]

Where are the producers & writers of "The Martian" to turn this into a movie? This sounds like something straight out of Andy Weir's brain.

[@captainbenzie]

There's loads of great stories like this in EVE. Wait until I cover the Crielere project! THAT should be a movie!;

[@arnelarboleda2870]

EE newbs feels idiot not knowing about this cool backstory.

[@captainbenzie]

I reckon a lot of EVE players don't know it either. EVE is fantastic at environmental and immersive storytelling. If you want to sit in the universe and learn nothing, you absolutely can. If you want to learn about the history of the universe, you have to go looking for it.

[@JMAssainatorz]

And heres something ive massively missed from eve online. The Lore of eve online is rarely discussed and the videos that explain it are not rly of the best quality. The epic arcs either dont rly lend much to apprechiate from eve as its just text based stories.

[@captainbenzie]

There's such good lore in EVE Online but a lot of it is told environmentally. Glad you enjoyed! Done a Jita IV-4 one already with plenty more to come!

[@nathancherd9109]

couldn't they use warp drives to get to another system? warp drives would take a few days to get to another system, and every ship has one.

[@captainbenzie]

Warp Drives in game require a point to warp to and cannot cover those distances.

[@nathancherd9109]

another system could be that point@@captainbenzie

[@johnpmchappell]

@@dontjudgemeh8214 A matter of timing, and like everything else in EVE, sometimes it's just not your day anyway. Can be worth checking the map for recent (last hour) before toddling over, but if you take a cheap clone and ship, no real loss ... and can always tell the pirates "I'm just here to look at the cool gate, please?" Mostly they're chill folks looking to steal your cargo and mods, not pop sightseers.
