A New Object in the Sky

Nagaslaiken Constellation: Saikanen V

Imgur: The magic of the Internet

This object is showing only in the systems in this constellation. Which does not make any sense, as the brightness should make it visible across the region at least.

I am certain the Counsels of Do-Gooders in Caldari and Gallente should be investigating.

This is the hyperspace rift that recently appeared around Jita, damaging inbound stargates in the surrounding systems.

If you fly close to it, it tickles.

Looks like I left all the lights on at my jita pad. My bad!

According to the researchers I recently sent to Caldari State and other scientific sources, it appears to be a coalescence of blackbody radiation emitted by gates to Jita that have been damaged by the appearance of hyperspace fractures right on them three days ago.

It seems to travel at the speed of light through the hyperspace network that allowed the aforementioned fractures to appear.

Wait a minute. Hasn’t your corporation completed a study of ORE’s hyperspace fracture devices? Has anyone tried deploying such devices around the gate?

While we have indeed studied Upwell’s mobile phase anchors, we have not yet attempted to deploy them to phase any objects coming from the other side of any of these radioactive fractures.

We have no idea what lies on the other sides, and as a precaution, we prefer to avoid accidentally phase something that could cause problems for the State and leave that to the local authorities and researchers.

However, we do use atavums for our research as evidence suggests they are linked to hyperspatial networks and technologies and were used to create mobile phase anchors.

Agreed. It’s probably best that no capsuleer exacerbates the issue.

If I understand the news and speculations running about. The Drifter Hyperspatial Gates, which were conquered some time ago, have similar, uh. “Mechanical” or control effects akin to the sunva-a-■■■■■ who controls the Warden? Both are or is jovian tech or copy cats.

It appears that the Warden and the Drifter gates actually allow manipulation of the same hyperspace network.

Thats concerning.

Would that mean the likely perpetrators of the attack against Caldari, Jita, be (In no specific order):

  • Amarr
  • Edencom
  • Minmatar
  • Caldari
  • Triglavian
  • Deathless

If we take what the Caldari has alleged the Intaki Syndicate being the direct perpetrator by proxy behalf of the Gallente Federation as true.

Other possibilities do exists:

Then it means either:

  1. The Intaki Syndicate used the Caldari Controlled Drifter Gate (I am assuming likely) or any of the other 5 possible mechanism.
  2. The Caldari self inflicted the attack as a false flag.
  3. Any of the other holders of the gate or warden perpetrated the attack.
  4. An unknown malefactor or organization perpetrated the attack by either the known mechanisms or possibly a 7th gate or jovian device. (Gallente FIO)
