Eon was produced by MMM Publishing under license from CCP Games and sold via the Eve Online website.

[citation needed] Eon was first published in Autumn 2005 and cost US$14.95, sold through the official store on CCP's Eve Online website.

[2] In April 2008, Eon worked in conjunction with www.eve-maps.com to produce a hard-copy book version of the site's Eve Strategic Maps.

ESM was a 74-page, ring-bound 'atlas' of every region in the game's universe, detailing every system's transport network, resources, NPC types and player outposts.

[3] Eve Strategic Maps has since been updated with an expanded second edition, containing a clearer information presentation style and a system index for easier referencing.
