Essence

Essence is a game region controlled by the Gallente Federation. Actually, it can be considered the core Gallente region, sporting the capital system (Luminaire), and one of the two major Gallente trade hubs (Oursulaert), as well as many mission hubs.

Some fringe systems in this region are also theater for the Factional Warfare skirmish ground with the Caldari State loyalist forces.

It's a very connected region, joining no less than seven other regions (Genesis, Verge Vendor, Sinq Laison, Everyshore, Placid, Black Rise and The Citadel).
