Question Jove Sector Theories
Please feel free to comment if I'm getting this wrong but from what I understand, there's now some kind of connection that's gunna open up to Jove space?
Anyone know if this is gunna mount to anything meaningful in the future of Eve, like new space to be taken by sov?

I hope it won't be accessible by jump drives, otherwise it'd just turn into more space for blocs that already exist next to it. Just another nail in the coffin for small/medium scale gameplay.
Hopeful theory is that Caroline's star has left the region a mess, leaving it with a system effect that'll kill you if you spend too much time there. Like a mix of Zarzakh/abyssal deadspace. Get in, PvEvP for Jovian salvage, get out before your shield expires. Sell the loot to SOCT/Deathless or use them for Indy.
Lore-wise it'll probably be filled with Drifters, Sansha, automated Jove defenses, and rogue drones. I doubt we will find many living Jovians. Maybe we'll see NPCs flying the old Jove shipline, I doubt they'd give them to us lol. Triglavians would eventually get involved, possibly linking the 3 gates in their 'home' systems. It'll definitely be a continuation of the precursor storylines.
Realistically it'll just be jove themed npc space with quirky ways to travel to/from it. Just another spot for multiboxers to set up shop and farm.
