“AIR”
drifters are mad of AIR doing mindless clonning ? or like, blank clones. cuz every capsuller is a blank clone before he dies…
You can kind of see the outline of the Adaptive Provisioning’s, or any of multiple other EverMore subsidiaries’, logo in the middle of the image.

Strangely is stands i may be 1 or 2 people consdering how much i am keeping an eye in these harmonics being found themselves - on seeing this post intrigues me because i and one other know how and where you can convert the Harmonics into a specialize - Graitified Warden Harmonic but until I know where i can find the warden Harmonics myself which again i do have a coupe of theories on but as to date have not found what i am looking for - If anyone does find a Drifter single battleship (possible 2 drifter cruises) with the The BS defending it I would be willing to talk in game with that person as its a key piece of information I need on how to secure the warden harmoics so you will not only be part of something it seems have been in every capsuleer event over the years but everytime no one has failed to know what to do with them which I do.
I was thinking more along the lines of two uneven, vertically entwined sine waves, rendered at right angles, broken at the peak:
A sine wave is Finite (Period) Infinite (Periodic). And there is one in the EverMore logo if you squint a bit, not to mention what EverMore literally means.
Industrial and relic Drifter sites have also been detected in nullsec regions.
I just got back from the Nexus Hive in “Liberated” Barbican, and what was once the Space Urchin-shaped assemblage of strange beams has reconfigured itself again, and is showing signs of being active now.
It’s roughly tubular in shape and waves of power are moving up it’s length from the looser base to what looks like a stable coalescing point managed by an array of energy transmitter antenna at the top..
I can’t be certain, but I’ve been studying stargate technology for 20 years, and this really does seem to resemble some sort of massive super-gate? Any other ideas or theories would be very welcome.

Dear Ms. Khaprice,
this is indeed a quite interesting observation. Given the high priority the Drifters seem to afford the defense of these Nexus Points, it stands to reason that they play a major role in their plans. We also are aware of the fact that these sites are connected to the so-called “Labyrinth Complexes” that have started to surface within the Hive systems lately.
My first conclusion was that these sites might have been part of the response to the appearance of the suppression forces within the hives, but I might have mistaken correlation for causation in this case. I am now strongly considering that the appearance of these new Drifter structures might be related to their own plans and coincided with the arrival of the Empire forces because both events are connected to the appearance of the so-called Warden in Zarzakh.
Observations within the Labyrinths indicate that these complexes are by nature some sort of information processor. It seems they may be the Drifter equivalent of a data center or computer network. We are also aware that the calculations within the Labyrinth are supposed to be fed into the Nexus Point.
If indeed the goal of the Drifters is to create a “super-gate” of some kind, it stands to reason that the data processed within the Labyrinth Complexes is related to creating the correct alignment of the gate elements to form the gate and create the overall alignment necessary for it to start operations.
Some further speculation and observations in no particular order:
- The Drifter Hives and the Drifters more generally have demonstrated the ability to create special Wormholes between Anoikis and k-space, especially in Observatory systems. These operations are likely based on Jove technology.
- It is also reasonable to assume that the Sansha have stolen this capability from the Sleepers.
- It might be that these gates are based on similar principles. Their re-alignment might be predicated on the data that has been uncovered in the Fulcrum or Warden.
- This would at least partially align with the plans indicated by the Spectral Visions.
Sadly I am not quite able to pull these disparate elements together into a firm conclusion.
Further research is required into the recent appearance of K-Space sites and their function in the overall scheme.

The photos posted by this capsuleer and the theory they shares are interesting, If we cross-reference this with the symbol of the directorate which represents phase III of the plan, I think it could indicate that the Drifters could indeed try to go into the space of the Third Empire. It should be noted that Jove space still seems to be protected by a defense system, I think the Drifters would need to create these gates to be able to go there because there must be something that prevents them from warping, jumping or generating wormholes there as they usually do.
It appears that the Drifters’ attacks are last-ditch counterattacks it is possible that they will cease once the occupiers have finally established definitive control over the Hive systems. Some theorize that the Drifters may seek to evacuate to Third Empire’s territory and settle there.
Drifter settlement into Directorate space would represent a significant threat-level escalation, given that would grant them a foothold in New Eden itself. Sadly… all we can do is wait for news of what these… “pinhole” gates end up doing.
It does have supergate overtones, yes.
Drifter Dreads will emerge.
They already exist and have been seen in New Eden. With how much control the 5 factions have over the Drifter Hives, I would not be surprised if there are more drifters in New Eden than there are in the Hives now.
According to the data obtained by analyzing these objects, it seems to me that the labyrinths may be some kind of giant computers whose role is to activate hives located in New Eden and Anoikis using the hyperspace network. It seems that Strategos’s dreadnoughts are linked to the Nexus and Locus points’ vortexes. The labryrinths of New Eden also seem linked to those of Anoikis. It is likely that all these ships, vortexes, and structures are linked together by the hyperspace network. If the doomsday scenarios some fear are truly going to come true, it is possible that they will occur from these new hives in New Eden.
I think this will either cause the deployment of many Drifter ships that will wreak havoc, or alter spacetime for destructive purposes, or perhaps both.
I also think that Strategos not only protects Nexus and Locus points but can also probably interface with hives, vortexes and gates in order to configure them to achieve her faction’s plans.
I am no scientist, and what I have seen is beyond me, but hopefully somebody here can make sense of it.
Last night our fleet made the decision to fly deep within one of the Drifter superstructures within the liberated Barbican.
Rather then go to the top, we went to the bottom, and found the tips pointing at some kind of massive…Vortex. I hesitate to call it a wormhole, because this doesnt look like any wormhole I have ever seen.
From a distance it just looked like a star, but the closer we got, the more it was very clearly something else.
I have no idea what it is. Given what I am reading here, I wonder if it is some kind of dimensional gateway, superweapon, or power source we know nothing about yet.
There seems to be another one of these at the “top” of the structure, but we didnt go up to verify that.
Anyone have any idea what we were looking at?

I think this vortex could be, at the very least and maybe among other things, a power source since it is possible to increase the strength of the connexion between a vortex and one of Strategos’s dreadnought to enhance the dreadnoughts’ capabilities. I suppose it could also be a power source for the hives and the gates.
Labyrinths, eh ? Tell me more about the nature of these Drifter Labyrinths.
As far as we know, they are complexes composed of a set of deadspace pockets connected by unremarkable acceleration gates. They seems to iterate endlessly and the Drifters can move them to other dimensions or regions of the universe, although the limits of their displacement capacity are unclear.
While some pockets are empty, others contain “Thread Capacitors,” structures that process data passing through the labyrinth. This data is then transferred to “Reckoning Hoards.” That’s why I compare them to giant computers. In my opinion it’s likely that Hoards in High-Sec sites, and maybe even those in Anoikis, transfer data to Low-Sec hives.
I don’t know where the data entering the labyrinths comes from, but I assume it comes from Drifters and drones who transfer it there to help their faction achieve their plans. The Hoards resemble Scrutinizers and Vigilant Dreamers, so I wonder if they might contain virtualities or other tools and machines that allow the Drifters to find ways and strategies to achieve their plans.
Right. Tell me more about the labyrinth pockets. Are there multiple exit gates from each pocket, that lead to several other pockets ? If so, how are the gates arranged ?
Cos I’ve seen a structure before, that was also called a Labyrinth, and each pocket had a ring of 8 gates that when activated would go to different pockets deeper in. Other than the name, I do not suspect any relationship between the two, but a connection would be very surprising.
If you have pictures of these Drifter labyrinth sites, that would be appreciated.
There is only one gate for major sites such as this, but there are minor sites that had a series of pockets of two gates, each. Each pocket leads to another two gates, with some dead ends and some that lead to a commander. Eventually.
However, I bring an update about the major site and the Drifter superstructure found there:
Tonight I’ve had the chance to get a closer look at the massive Drifter structures I reported on earlier, I can now confirm some suspicions and share some more footage of what I’ve seen.
First off, there is a second vortex above the Drifter superstructure in the main labyrinth. As we flew over the structure, I took a look both above and below, and I can see the giant vortex I described above both above and below the superstructure.
I did not see it while flying around the wormhole space itself, only near the drifter facility.
This means the Drifter superstructure, the pillar, and the vast circular..Gate? Whatever it is, is between two gigantic vortexes of an unknown (at least to me!) nature.
I also got a much closer look at the Jovian “wormhole” reported by earlier capsuleers.
For one thing, the wormhole is not there when the site is warped in to. It only manifests as soon as the Strategos or Tyrannos warps in to the zone. At that point the wormhole manifests.
As soon as the flagship is destroyed, the wormhole shrivels in on itself and dissipates again. It is NOT there when we arrive.
This means the “wormhole” is connected to the Drifter flagship somehow.
I also flew much closer to the object to get a much closer look for you all. I am uploading the footage here.
The upper vortex as seen from above the superstructure. Note how it mirrors the lower vortex underneath the structure in my previous post
A picture of the complete superstructure viewed from afar, so you can see what it looks like.
A view from above the superstructure after the destruction of the flagship. Note how the “jovian wormhole” isn’t there anymore. It’s supposed to be in the centre of the circle.
The “Jovian wormhole” as reported by another capsuleer. It’s a massive sphere roughly the size of my battlecruiser. Flying into it produced no ill (or positive) effects.
I still have no idea what this thing is, but the fact that the “wormhole” only activates when the battleship emerges, and deactivates once it’s destroyed surely means something.
Does it respond to the battleship automatically, or is it activated on purpose?
And if it’s the second, why activate it during a battle?
I hope the scientists on this channel are able to make sense of all of this.
Edit: Is it just me, or does this look far different from the footage captured by the capsuleer linked in Michael Minate’s post? I cant help but notice the one I encountered looks more solid, somehow.

Oh, well, that’s alright then. Weird, but alright. These Drifter Labyrinths and the Labyrinth that I was thinking of are indeed distinctly different structures with nothing in common except the name. Somewhat of a relief, really.
Carry on.
