Category:Cloud Ring (Region)

Named by noted Intaki astronomer Alnadil Jouber, the central constellations of this region are encompassed by a massive ring of dust and gas expelled from an ancient stellar catastrophe of colossal proportions. The first to observe and detail this phenomenon from observatories in the Placid region, Jouber went on to theorize that analysis of the extent, density, and rate of expansion of the ring could give insight as to what monumental event may have caused such a disturbance and when it might have occurred. He further theorized that such an explosion may have had far-reaching gravitic effects that could destabilize wormholes, and may have been a contributing factor to the collapse of the EVE Gate. While later researchers have discounted many of his ideas, the validity of his theories has yet to be categorically disproven. It is noteworthy that the Sisters of EVE maintain several bases in Placid, from which scientific expeditions to study the Cloud Ring are coordinated.
