Entry into Exordium remains restricted to the CONCORD gate in Yulai; all access passes through this single point. Once inside, Exordium can be navigated using standard inter-system travel via conventional stargate routes |
TripTik158 Expedition Highlights
Introduction
Visit the new capsuleer starting region and conduct a field survey of its space and stations, capturing a record of where every pilot’s story first takes shape.
Locations
Established in YC128 through a joint initiative of CONCORD and the four major Empires, and administered by AIR Laboratories, Exordium is a high-security region dedicated to the earliest days of a capsuleer's career. To provide a focused learning environment, access to the region is intentionally limited through a single stargate in the CONCORD system of Yulai, within the Sanctum constellation of Genesis, reducing outside influences while new pilots find their footing.
For many capsuleers, Exordium is where their journey truly begins. Across its nine constellations, new explorers are introduced to the essential skills of navigation, combat, industry, and exploration before departing for the wider reaches of New Eden. Though sheltered by design, the region serves as the first chapter in what may become a lifetime of discovery among the vast and often unforgiving stars.
Inside Exordium, nine (9) constellations present themselves to the intrepid explorer.
The "Manifest District" (holding only the Manifest system), along with the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th constellations, form the central structure under AIR Laboratories administration.
Meanwhile, the four Empires each manage one “embassy constellation.”
The Amarr Empire’s presence radiates out from “Haven.”
The Caldari State (hewing to their penchant for definitive articles) manages “The Crucible.”
The Gallente Federation operates the “Federation Free-Zone.”
The Minmatar Republic has settled people displaced by the disasters in Tabbetzur (YC127) and Turnur (YC125) into the “Strokar” embassy constellation.
====================================================================================================================
The Manifest District
Entrance to Exordium is via the impressive CONCORD style stargate in Yulai which will deposit travelers into Manifest.
Once inside you will be placed roughly 2,500 km from Manifest X a pretty Oceanic planet backlit by the stunning nebula of the region. From here explorers may travel to the eight other constellations that make up Exordium There are three stations of interest here in Manifest: Manifest IV – Moon 5 – Paragon Fulfillment Center
Manifest V – AIR Laboratories Trade Center
Manifest VI – CONCORD Bureau
1st Accord District
Made up of 6 systems - Fortitude, Gallant, Lustre, Mettle, Repute, and Venerate
Of these systems, only Gallant lacks a point of interest.
Fortitude
A quiet system bathed in the glow of a K7 orange star with only the Fortitude III – Poteque Pharmaceuticals Biotech Production center, a classic Gallente design, available for weary travelers
Lustre Aside from a small G3 (Pink) star illuminating the Sisters of EVE Bureau at Lustre VI little else presents an opportunity for finding adventure
Mettle A dead-end system attached to Gallant, Mettle does have, hanging above the temperate planet Mettle IV, an AIR Laboratories station which provides some rest for pilots moving through the 1st Accord District
Repute Yet another system attached to Gallant, Repute IV hosts another AIR Laboratories station
Venerate Venerate VII hosts pilots through the presence of an AIR Laboratories classic style station
2nd Accord District Made up of 6 systems - Adroit, Celerity, Erudite, Forte, Ratiocinate, and Sagacity. Adroit Aside from the AIR Laboratories station around Adroit V little else offers a distraction to a pilot out on a roam.
Celerity The gateway system to the Caldari managed constellation of The Crucible, Celerity is a simple K3 class system with a Mercantile Club Bureau sitting just off Celerity V – Moon 1
Erudite A single system accessed via Forte, the quiet in Erudite is broken only by an AIR Laboratories station on the dark side of Erudite III lit only by the regional nebula and the raging storms of Erudite III
Forte A hub connection to 3 dead end system CONCORD’s DED section holds a station at Forte V – Moon 2 – DED Assembly Plant in an otherwise unremarkable G5 stellar system
Ratiocinate Offering a link to the 1st Accord District’s Lustre and the 3rd Accord District’s Lenity systems there is a Gallente style station operated by the Inner Circle Bureau around Ratiocinate IX, a lovely, temperate planet but little else offers itself up here to be visited.
Sagacity Another dead-end system reached via Forte; AIR Laboratories offers services to capsuleers in their station nestled against Sagacity VII
3rd Accord District Made up of 6 systems - Lenity, Rigor, Solemn, Tenacity, Triumph, and Valiance Of these only Triumph lacks points of interest. Lenity Floating above Lenity V the Society for Conscious Thought’s Genolution Biotech Research Center sits open to members of the New Eden community.
Rigor Providing entry to the 3rd Accord District from Manifest, Rigor V provides some sustenance for travelers at the Native Freshfood Warehouse
Solemn A dead-end system off Triumph, Solemn V holds a single AIR Laboratoires station above a nondescript Strom planet
Tenacity A cul-de-sac system off Triumph, Tenacity VI holds an AIR Laboratories station
Valiance Soley attached to Triumph. Valiance IV – AIR Laboratories provides the only respite from the emptiness of space in this system
4th Accord District
Made up of 6 systems - Abstention, Chivalric, Couth, Decorum, Equity, and Steadfast
Of these only Decorum lacks points of interest.
Abstention
This dead-end system hanging off Decorum has Abstention V – AIR Laboratories as the only local point of interest.
Chivalric Aside from the searing glare of the B5 class star (White Dwarf), only Chivalric II hosts an AIR Laboratoires station
Couth Couth sees two stations for explorers to investigate Couth III – Moon 1 has an Inner Zone Shipping Storage station flooded with light from the local nebula’s stellar nurseries.
Meanwhile Couth VIII – Moon 4 holds a CONCORD Assembly Plant of Caldari design.
Equity Little of interest here aside from Equity V – AIR Laboratories.
Steadfast Gateway to and from Manifest, Steadfast hosts a Station at Steadfast IV – Moon 1 operated by Nurtura Warehouse. Lit by the local G5 (Pink) star the station floats quietly in the dark.
