The Caldari Outer Worlds Astronomical Research and Discovery Survey has recently revealed that Caldari systems just disappear from space sometimes. As many Caldari citizens have noticed over the last few months, some systems of Caldari space have simply vanished without a trace. All communications to these systems ceased abruptly and attempted space lane travel has been cut off. While there was wild speculation that these systems were conquered by the invading Triglavian forces, the Caldari government would like all citizens to know that this is not the case. A recent survey has revealed that “Caldari systems just disappear from space sometimes”.
“The science here is all very new and theoretical, but it appears that in some cases a system claimed by the Caldari people will cease to exist,” reported Karl Spinster, lead astronomer of the survey. “We’ve watched the phenomenon closely these last months and while other empires have had systems disappear too, it seems that our Caldari space is just a little more likely to see the strange occurrences.”
When questioned about the possibility that an alien force may have claimed these systems and destroyed the incoming stargates, Karl replied “That is entirely outside the realm of possibility! We have confirmed reports that our glorious and heroic EDENCOM forces stopped the invading Triglavian scum at every pass! Hurrah!”
According to official news releases, the Caldari Government was first informed about the possibility of “disappearing space” several months ago when Sakenta suddenly vanished from The Forge region. Alarmed by the potential ramifications, all resources that could be spared were devoted to determining the cause of the loss.The Caldari Outer Worlds Astronomical Research and Discovery Survey (C. O. W. A. R. D. S) was launched, quickly packing on the light years as they rushed to study other systems that had disappeared.
After five months of survey and many grueling hours poring over data from every possible outer world, the Survey team struck gold when the Amarr controlled system of Niarja also underwent a disappearance. Heroic EDENCOM forces defeated the invading Triglavians and their sympathetic capsuleer supporters only to have the system vanish before their eyes.
To date, 16 Caldari systems have experienced the phenomenon. A breakdown of other empires’ losses includes four Amarr systems, five Gallente systems, and two Minmatar systems. There is currently no clear explanation for why Caldari systems disappear more often; Government Officials claim that there is no cause for alarm.
“It is highly likely that we will see these systems re-emerge in the next year or so and all have a good laugh at the little peek-a-boo game!” said Karl.
While a full explanation as to why this happens has not been given, the C.O.W.A.R.D.S are confident they will find the answers needed with enough time, patience, and government support.
