Nightmare Fuel / EVE Online

• The Blood Raiders, the "Methods of Torture" chronicles...
• "Mindlock", which is what happens when someone who is incapable of using capsule technology (ie 99.9999% of the population) tries to do so - they go into a vegetative state, totally aware of their surroundings, but incapable of any sort of movement or communication.
  • Worse still, despite the non-existence of capsule technology in real life, the state of "mindlock" is actually a real syndrome.
• Actually ANY of the methods of torture chronicles are this the Caldari one seems to be the most insidious.
• When you want to delete a character, you will be asked to confirm with "Are you sure you want to convert this character to biomass?" If you select yes, you will be treated to sounds of heavy machinery, followed by screaming.
• Try not to think too hard about what the Amarr Empire did to Aritcio Kor-Azor at the end of the Speaker of Truths chronicle. What they tell you is nightmare fuel enough. He got better, though, and became a better ruler for it. We think.
• Sansha's Nation, a 'utopia' created by harvesting unwilling colonists and cramming implants into their heads to totally strip them of free will. They don't have many allies.
• Wormholes get their own special mention, namely when they're low on the amount of mass that can pass through them. They start breathing raggedly.
• The Kyonoke Infection, a prion disease on steroids. "Discovered" after a mining operation Dug Too Deep, it kills humans in a matter of minutes. The Caldari Navy wisely keeps the entire area where it was found on lockdown... but it got out somehow.
• The rise of the Triglavians and what they do the stars of the systems they conquer.
