Welcome to Rapture

"I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city, as well."- Andrew Ryan

Rapture is one of TTI's wormholes (WHs). For those of you unfamiliar with WHs, they are systems in space that can only be accessed by going through unstable, naturally occurring gates (also called wormholes). The EVE wiki has a good article on them. The tl;dr is that they don't have a local channel, the sites in them must all be scanned down, and they are populated by badass rats called the Sleepers that are basically big metal isk pinatas.

Rapture is a class 5 WH and therefore the sleepers there are quite difficult and can be taken down only by a trained, coordinated gang, generally made up of battleships or t3 cruisers. The Rapture crew is made up of salty space dogs who are equally familiar with sleeper strategies, coarse language, and extensive de-n00bification tactics.

Rapture's primary purpose is sleeper combat, but its pilots occasionally engage in pvp as well, such as yesterday when several crewmembers asploded some Russians who apparently like to run sites sans d-scan.

Some of you who are familiar with Ayn Rand and videogames may have already guessed it, but Rapture is named after a fictional underwater city from the BioShock series of video games. The city of Rapture was built as a haven for those seeking refuge from the oppressive philosophies of the surface world, which included religion, socialism, and other such nonsense. Similarly, our Rapture is hidden away from the conventional world and only objectivists and those who are interested in the power of the individual may live here.
