Jove Research Outpost Wreckage

Description

This decaying wreckage is the remains of the Jove Research outpost that was the only known Jove presence in the Atioth system before the Amarr attack that lead to the famous Battle of Vak'Atioth.

Although the outpost survived that battle unscathed, it was abandoned by the Jove soon after the battle as they withdrew from systems bordering the Jove regions. Ultimately, the Jove severed all gate connections between the Jove Empire and the rest of New Eden. Outposts such as this one were left to gradually disintegrate as their integrity maintenance systems broke down, leading to so-called "nanorot", while pirates and other occasional opportunists braved erratic defense mechanisms to plunder the abandoned facilities.
