New Eden (Earth-2130)

New Eden is a large star cluster, inhabited by humanity and numerous other sapient races. The name "New Eden" is colloquially used by people to refer to any star system within the galactic neighbor, albeit only those cataloged by the human race or those connected by stargate networks.

History
Archaeological history and evidence suggest that humanity arrived on New Eden roughly 15,000 years in the past. However, it is unknown by which means they were originally able to do so even before the discovery of stargate space, though the scarce evidence seem to confirm it was through the EVE Gate, a massive wormhole located within the cluster. The early colonist seem to have colonized numerous planets through the cluster in a matter of one hundred years, until they suddenly were hit by unknown catastrophic events that devolved them back to the stone age.

Structure
New Eden is a loosely-bound cluster of stars approximately 106 light years long, 90 light years wide, and 25 light years thick. The cluster contains 5,433 star systems with stargate connections, though there exist significantly more stars and stellar remnants with no gate connections. Because stargates are almost exclusively deployed in star systems with orbital bodies, every accessible star system within New Eden has at least one planet. It similarly contains many black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs, but these have also been mostly left unconnected to the stargate system. The cluster is relatively densely packed, with the average system having at least one neighbor less than a light year away from it. It is composed of stars of all stellar classifications and ages.
