Eve-Online is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game set in the future.  In this possible future, mankind and its greed have colonized the known universe, fueled by the ambitions of Mega-corps that war with each other over profits and resources.  It looked like a dark time for mankind, with civilization pushed to the far reaches of known space, when a natural wormhole was found to another Galaxy.  Brave explorers ventured forth, and began colonizing the new worlds, when suddenly the wormhole closed.  Nobody could find a way back, and millions died without a link to the other galaxy.  Over time, some did regain the capability to fly in space, and 4 main races arose.  The Gallente, Caldari, Minmitar, and Amarr each have different social/economic/military views, and have skirmishes, despite the Concorde governing presence that maintains order within the 'Empire' systems with police patrols.  Outside of the Empire, lawlessness presumes, as it is outside the reach of Concorde's forces.
