1.1 Systems

The system forms the backbone of EVE, providing a point to which
pilots may connect to to talk to each other, and a point for other
systems to connect to, forming an EVE network. The only network
configuration allowed for EVE systems is that of a spanning tree [see
Fig. 1] where each system acts as a central node for the rest of the
net it sees.
