Hold on, hold on: you mean to say that you havenāt heard of the abject horrors the Drifters have inflicted on civilians in the past?
Recall the Blackout: during that entire period, the Drifters were engaged in a ruthless and vigorous resource-gathering campaign, which is to say they were cracking open baseliner resource processing installations like eggs across all of nullsec.
But in addition to scouring these facilities of material resources like ore, minerals, and technology, EVERY TRACE of biological matter was harvested from the installations, which is to say that the Drifters took every living human being from every area that fell prey to them.
The Triglav, while Iāll readily state them to be invaders, are attempting to āpreserveā the lives of baseliners in their new territory. The Drifters, on the other hand, likely see the human beings they took as resources, just as they collect corpses from space. They need materials to build ships, and to build Drifters; the Drifters are, in terms of civilian harm-measurements, FAR above the Triglav.

Provost Marshal Valkanir conceded that āTriglavian assaults on static targets are typically aimed at specific objectives and not at inflicting high levels of casualties.ā Provost Valkanir went on to say, "The best assessment of AEGIS, and indeed the DED as a whole, is that Triglavian operations on planets, moons, stations, and other orbitals, are primarily focused on intelligence-gathering efforts.

CONCORD has formally revised downward estimates of overall casualties in the outer regions due to widespread Drifter assaults in nullsec, declaring that āconfirmed and reliably reported fatalitiesā amount to just over one billion lost. While this figure reduces the estimated death toll by a factor of ten, it would still mean that the recent Drifter attacks represent the deadliest series of events in the New Eden cluster since the Seyllin Incident and connected stellar events of YC111.
