Respected Capsuleers
After several hours of analysis and fighting I want to thank the restless forward observers again who volunteered to make a quick response and reporting a possibility. Also, a strong alliance of pilots from diverse groups and affiliations easily pushed back against the renewed invasion attempt in many systems.
I want to summarize a few facts for those who had not yet the possibility to catch up with the events:
An Amarr vessel in service of EDENCOM, shortly before being destroyed by capsuleers in Seiradih.
- After a few weeks of widespread attack against EDENCOM installations and ongoing invasions, all Triglavian forces suddenly retreated on 26th of May YC122. Shortly after, a new attack vector opened up. Within about five hours, the following systems saw invasion attempts: Abha, Inaya, Muttokon, Seiradih, Aldik, Iosantin.
- The trend of past weeks continued on a broader scale. The invaded systems saw capsuleer aggressions against Empire or Triglavian forces right from the start. Until then, this was only happening around the Stellar Accelerator Structures.
- Generally, the response on both sides was resolute and aggression quickly escalated into opportunistic war target hunting or plain piracy, adding to the ongoing chaos.
- Besides EDENCOM, Empire, and capsuleer fleets, the system defense saw the rather silent deployment of Cynosural Jammers throughout low security systems (within or without an ongoing invasion), thus messing with the possibilities to field capital class vessels or jump bridges.
- The Triglavian Collective fielded several new subtypes of vessels which still have to be further examined. This includes more warp scrambling variants and Zorya entities. This adds to the complexity of the battlefield.
- In general, the Triglavian fleets were less dangerous than in past advanced invasion states, due to the time EDENCOM and actors like the Arataka Research Consortium had to prepare for defensive measures. The key element is the sealment of conduits with cynosural jammers and their successful defense. In our impression, the Collective now has a harder time to establish a foothold. Their conduits are more actively defended by EDENCOM, in cooperation with many capsuleers.
- Lastly, I want to close with both, a good and a bad spotlight of today’s fighting. The system of Muttokon suffered from the Triglavian invasion and Sansha’s incursion at the same time. We assume that a humanitarian crisis is most likely to happen out there in this low security system. We fear for an increase in opportunity to snatch away civilian inhabitants on the planets and orbital facilities.

- On the bright side, while this post is released, the system of Seiradih is pushed hard and fast towards the reinforcement in favor for New Eden’s residents and against the invading entities. With a bit of luck it will be the first victory in this new phase of conflict.
Respectfully yours,
