The second strike is over, this time Minmatar forces were still composed of a few Valravns but accompanied by several other ships from the start. I wonder if yesterdayâs âfleetâ was just a test fleet while todayâs was the definitive one then. They were able to destroy the relays without any real problems.
Then another horde of Drifter drones and units arrived, and oddly enough most of the Minmatar ships left the grid to let the Valvrans, a Nidhoggur and Vargurs take care of them. Maybe the Republic Fleet thought they couldnât win against them so they might as well evacuate everyone and just leave a rearguard to keep them busy.
The Valravns seem to have all been destroyed but the Nidhoggur seems to have been able to evacuate. It seems that we didnât exceed 200 capsuleers in the system. I should point out that this testimony is not the most accurate possible either.
And there were still no Triglavians, I guess CONCORD sent those messages by mistake or maybe the collective canceled their attack. If it was a mistake I hope it wonât happen again, the mails they send are taken seriously by capsuleers and it could have pushed them to send ships and people for nothing while they could have been more important and useful elsewhere.
The empiresâ intelligence agencies, the DED and the SoCT want to obtain Warden Connection Harmonics and buy them for 5 million ISKs. I have also seen theories that the first step shown in the Circleâs hijack, which depicts the Warden with a chain on it, has actually happened and is actually these Minmatar attacks to get the harmonics. Moreover, the image of the chains comes from the âMatarâ spectral vision.
We made sure to hand out out some frozen food to refugees and other entities at the local station. In roughly 8 hours we will extract our Carrier and can take in a lot of Refugees that want to leave the system.
Our logistic frigate fleet could recover Warden Connection Harmonics from the Angel Cartel structures during the Republic Fleet strike.
I made sure to send this critical data to somebody deserving of it who will keep it safe and in good hands. This data belongs to the Republic after all the Republic Fleet went through to defend Tabbetzur and retrieve it.

There was also a Deathless Circle capsuleer named Yuina Grace, she was present during yesterdayâs attack. I heard about a Cenotaph wing that was there this morning but I didnât notice them, maybe I was too focused on other ships to notice them. It seems she had a rather high position among Deathless Wraith capsuleers on the scene.
She was in her capsule reciting propaganda and observing the battle, I decided to shoot her and she exploded rather quickly. Apparently it was a final blow but I think she self-destructed instead.
What you mean âyesterdayâs âfleetâ was just a testâ?
Both fleets are compleetly same. Itâs just that yesterday, part of the fleet was caught in another place. and Republic Fleet republic fleet forces first arrived at the captured characters. therefore, it might seem that the fleets are different
I know this may sound weird, but it also seemed weird to me that they only sent a few Valravns to attack the site. If the rest of the fleet was indeed caught in another place then that explains the oddly small size of the fleet.
Outdated firmware on CONCORD alert system blamed for false Invasion warnings following Drifter attack on Tabbetzur.
So it was a mistake, I hope they avoid doing it again.
Republic Fleet Captain Einar Eliakin called to military tribunal following questions over conduct during Operation Harmony Breach.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that the fleets were oddly, if not poorly, prepared and coordinated.
He also had to apologize during the second strike for causing collateral damage to Minmatar aligned capsuleers who were on the scene.

I wonder if the Drifters will attack the capital systems of other empires, or if their desire to claim hive systems could escalate the conflict and push them to become even more violent. Perhaps the other factions will also be targeted by the Drifters.
It seems that the Triglaviansâ lead could be explained by the fact that many veteran kybernauts decided to help them while being motivated by the fact that it had been a long time since they had received an offer to help the Collective.
I wonder what the Circle thinks about the Angels wanting to get Harmonics, it might be a good thing if it causes a conflict between the two and destabilizes the insurgent coalition.
The alterations made to Tabbetzur by the Drifters are still present 14 days after the Drifters targeted the system, which reinforces the hypothesis that these effects will be permanent.
Security forces throughout the cluster are reporting rising crime indicative of massive shifts in New Edenâs underworld as the Cartelâs operatives make ready for the new technologies they hope to gain.
Intaki Syndicate planetary smuggling operations on rise admits war time black market trading.
This rise in crime is rather worrying, it reminds me of when the empires were so focused on fighting each other after the escalation of the Empyrean War in YC124 that it degraded the overall security of empire space, except that now itâs the conflict against the Drifters that seems to be at the root of it.

Anyone knows is it possible to collect all 12 Spectral Vision Capture elements by completing only Drifter relic sites? I did a lot of relic sites but Iâm constantly getting the same set of 6 elements. Canât get the other 6.
Iâve never heard of some visions not being available in certain locations, I guess itâs just bad luck. Exploration and hacking can be long and frustrating things after all.
I mentioned Incomplete Warden Projections in this post, and since discovering that itâs possible to open a backdoor to the Warden using Warden Connection Harmonics via the hyperspace connections network passing through the Warden, I think itâs possible that these projections could map links between the Warden and Trustbreakers and Relay-Chainers, and could allow the Drifters to detect and destroy them. It seems that all these connections, along with those of the Atavums and those used to study hyperspace telemetry to predict the Driftersâ actions, form a large network that could be reminiscent of the FTL communications network forming the GalNet, but using more advanced technology.
As the Drifters appear to be survivors of the Second Empireâs collapse, it is likely that their knowledge of the location of ancient Jovian structures could be incomplete, and perhaps their access to an ancient information network could be useful to them in detecting other ancient and lost Jovian structures and relics that could be useful to their goals. If this is the case, perhaps the Circleâs objective in occupying the Warden is the same. Perhaps the Warden is a major hub of this network and may be the largest known one, which could make it of great importance to those who wish to gain access to this network.
Perhaps the research done by the participants in the Race for the Hives concerns this network, or will allow reliable access to it.
In addition to the changes taking place in the Drifter systems, other facilities are being built in New Eden.
Deposits of a mineral called âTyraniteâ have been observed to appear en masse throughout the cluster.
Here are two photos of one of these deposits.
Here is an analysis:
An analysis of eleutrium:
In addition, the discovery of Drifter drone construction sites and Sleeper ârelicâ sites have been noticed. The appearance of these three types of sites at the same time leads me to believe that they form an industrial network that will be used by the Drifters for the next phase of their plan.
Perhaps this next phase will be the proper âstormâ announced by the Deathless Circle, a doomsday scenario theorized by some across the cluster, or the realization of what is shown in the âVisions of Doomâ from Drifter virtualities.
It is likely that we are in phase II of this plan, especially since the debris from the Nexuses has âgatheredâ to create the âurchinâ structures again since âurchinâ like shapes are shown in the phase II symbol.
Although Jovian observatories continue to appear and the Drifters still carry out attacks in New Eden, they appear to have stopped their method of torturing and killing civilians with Scrutinizers, destroying stations and altering the space-time topology of the systems they target.
5 I have obtained via Deepflow rifts inside a bonus crate after pulling all 27 out of the WH and getting a bonus 28th Crate - I have also alternatively been given the message in a bottle is only way i can descibre it on 2 occassions
I havenât mentioned it before because I wanted to get as much information as possible on the subject, but it seems difficult to find. Therefore, this will be incomplete information on whatâs happening in the Pochven region.
Sites codenamed âViligance Pointâ seem to have begun to be built in Pochven at the same time as new Drifter sites in the rest of New Eden and the beginning of the occupation of the hive systems.
This site contains a âVigilance Spire,â a structure that serves as a command and observation center for the local Drifter forces. The spire is controlled by a Tyrannos Tekton unit.
The ball of light you see is a wormhole being generated, sleeper drones have arrived and a force field has been generated around the spire.
I wasnât able to take any more photos or obtain any further information on the subject due to the dangerous nature of the site.
It seems that Drifter units are likely to arrive to defend the spire.
Iâve also heard that Horizon Siege Points may be present, but Iâm not sure if this is true.
Tyranite deposits have also appeared in Pochven at the same time as other Drifter sites and tyranite deposits in New Eden.
I was unable to find any Drifter manufacturing sites in Pochven, these structures appear to be either absent or very well hidden.
Same thing for Drifter relic sites.
It is possible that if Drifter sites and tyranite deposits in New Eden are indeed used to prepare for a âdoomsday scenarioâ, then the same is certainly true for those in Pochven and it is possible that these sites and deposits are present in the Abyss as well.
Regarding rumored Horizon Siege Point within Vigilance Points sites, if they are indeed present then it is possible that they are being used to disrupt space-time alteration techniques used by the Triglavians, perhaps to sever the âbridgesâ between Pochven and Bujan or other protective alterations.
I have also heard of Vigilance Points sites located in shattered Anoikis systems, but I cannot confirm whether this is true or not due to a lack of information on the subject.

I would like to present some hypotheses I have read, or developed myself, about the function of the nexus structures and the meaning of the symbols and illustrations shown in the montage outlining the Driftersâ plan.
- First, what is the meaning of the vortex in the middle of the 5 nexus structure symbols shown in the second phase illustration? Some think it could be:
- Zarzakh
- The Sleepersâ homeworld, with maybe some kind of giant Sleeper enclave or an entire planet transformed into a super-computer.
- The third Jovian Empireâs territory.
- The Driftersâ HQ, with maybe some kind of giant Drifter hive.
According to these theories, the nexus structures could serve as a portal to Zarzakh, Third Empire space, or the Sleepersâ homeworld by bypassing their defenses. Perhaps it could simply be a map of Drifter space with their headquarters at the center.
- Now letâs talk about the symbol illustrating the third phase. Some think it is:
-
Just the symbol of the Third Empire, potential proof that the Drifters want to go to their space in case they lose their five hive systems, or retrieve something that would help them.
-
The symbol of the âFinite-Infiniteâ, mentioned in Yosef Okadaâs journal as well as in the âGleaned Directive.â
-
[22ïżœïżœïżœ-0ïżœ-2ïżœ] - [Corrupted message] as long as our enclaves remain united in the unflinching grip of Tyranny, we shall never again see such dark days. Let us embrace what it means to be Jovian, many facets of a single vision. Remain ever vigilant, and we [Corrupted message] refuse to evolve must be known, those who refuse [Corrupted message] unity must be known, and those who would [Corrupted message] must be destroyed. Bound [Corrupted message] Finite Infinite, we remain undeniable in the worlds [Corrupted message] built of dreams. Remember; Observe, inform, secure.
-Gleaned Directive
"Now that I have learned of its existence, I see it everywhere. The first piece of evidence seemed inconsequential, the next few merely coincidental, but all together they are undeniable.
Three empires built on this secret, and they hid it in plain sight. Two uneven loops vertically entwined, rendered at right angles, broken at the peak. The Finite-Infinite."
-YC113.11.09 - Dr. Yosef Okada Journal entry
Iâve seen people say that the description of this âFinite-Infiniteâ is similar to the symbol of the Third Empire. If this symbol is indeed used to represent the Finite-Infinite, that could indicate that the Drifters want to reclaim or obtain it, whatever it is, for their plans.
Regarding the fourth phaseâs illustration, I think it could represent planned and decisive attacks on the empires, perhaps they are linked to the âVisions of Doomâ or âDoomsday scenariosâ that some fear might become real.
Any guesses what null-sec systems the arrows in the Phase IV image point to, and what their significance is? I noticed that the northern arrow points roughly in the direction of a system called I-7RIS, like the AI running Paragon stations, and thought that was interesting.
Also there are no arrows for Gallente, who did not end up establishing a foothold in the Drifter wormholes. That seems like an oddly accurate prediction.
