COSMOS

The four empires race by race: high-sec and low-sec territory, and the zero-sec regions no empire claims.

What you'll find here

A tour of New Eden's four empires, race by race. For each one you get its territory in high-sec and low-sec — and the zero-sec regions that no empire claims. Drill from an empire down through its constellations and systems, and in the empire space you'll find the agents that stand there too.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Pick an empire. Caldari, Gallente, Amarr or Minmatar — each opens on its territory.

  2. 2

    Read the security split. High-sec territory is shown for all four empires; low-sec is held by the Minmatar and the Amarr, and that's where their maps diverge.

  3. 3

    Drill down. In empire space, go from the spatial map to constellations, then to systems, and to the agents standing in them.

  4. 4

    See the unclaimed space. The zero-sec regions are listed separately — the seven areas outside any empire's reach, with their constellations and neighbouring regions.

EVE context

New Eden is divided among four major empires, the Caldari State, the Gallente Federation, the Amarr Empire, and the Minmatar Republic, each with its own culture, ship line, and faction. Their home territory defines where their agents, missions, and industry sit, and the borders between them shape a lot of the game's politics.

Each empire fights differently, and the difference shows up in every mission you run. Caldari ships favor missiles and hybrid weapons behind shield tanks, and their rats lead with jamming. Gallente ships run drone fleets and blasters, and their rats sensor-dampen. Amarr ships are armor-tanked and laser-armed. Minmatar ships trade firepower for speed and paint their targets' signatures. Knowing which empire you are in tells you what damage to bring before you warp.

The view below lays the empires out by territory: all four in high-sec, Minmatar and Amarr extending into low-sec, and the seven zero-sec regions that sit outside empire sovereignty. If you are choosing where to mission, mine, or fight, it is the overview that tells you whose rules you are flying under.
