Post terms that people not intimately familiar with EVE won't get here.
BoB - Band of Brothers, a powerful PVP alliance.
RA - Red Alliance, a powerful alliance comprised of primarily Russian players. Also referred to as "the Russians". Almost extinct. Some elements have merged into AAA.
AAA - Against All Authorities, an alliance that splintered off of Red Alliance. Fearsome in PVP. Also largely Russian.Still fearsome.
GOON, Goonfleet, Goonswarm - A corporation (Goonfleet) and alliance (Goonswarm) originally stemming from the SomethingAwful Forum Goons.
RAGOON - Refers to the very close ties between Red Alliance and Goonswarm, such that the two effectively operate in concert.
D2 - Dusk and Dawn, a rich industrial alliance. Largely German.Extinct, I believe.
"The North" - The upper part of the game map, when projected into 2-D on things such as the Alliance Map (see Useful Links thread). Dusk And Dawn is no longer located here.
"The South" - The lower part of the game map, as above. In the "west" (left) part of the map, you have the Band of Brothers stronghold regions of Delve and Period Basis. On the "east" side of the map, you have the Red Alliance stronghold of Cache, along with Goonswarm and associated alliances.
FIX - Firmus Ixion. An old alliance that has held the region Querious since time immemorial. They no longer hold Querious. In fact I can no longer find them on the map.
ASCN - Ascendent Frontier, an extinct alliance. Once the richest industrial alliance in their heydey, and also the first to unveil a Titan-class ship. Was crushed in relatively short order by Band of Brothers and has since dissolved.
T2 - Tech 2. The "high level gear" of Eve, somewhat stronger and better than most other ships/equipment in the game.
Complex - A space dungeon. Usually has a reward at the end. Difficulty ranges from Newbie to requring a group of very advanced players to complete.
Officer/Faction - Special "rare drop" equipment that can be found in some complexes or (very rarely) on random-spawning special NPCs in space.
Maybe someone with a real feel for the actual power players in the universe can post a few updates. I only know who's gone and who's big, not who's likely to still be here in a month.

Ewar or ECM: Electronic counter measures. The ability to jam opponents, causing them to lose their target locks. Can be countered by ECCM (Electronic counter-counter measures) at the cost of a module slot that could be useful for something else.
