Rogue Drone Incursions… similar to the other Incursions but different from the others with some complex yet detailed explanations that sounded more like a story:
Some rogue drone hives, having been left undetected and have grown exceedingly large enough in unexplored space, many low to null-sec systems and some parts of high-sec systems for a long time in a matter of years to mount invasions yet they remained hidden, always observing and watching through their scouts and other drone hives… now have suddenly demonstrated a new alarming capability of making surprise incursions, using stargates, expanding into other systems and replenishing their numbers without warning after a few years of efforts of empires and capsuleer attacks to fend off attacks to form colonies and the recent discovery of those drone regions while unaware of how far they have spread and the sheer size of their numbers, strengths, and hives…
Unlike Sasha’s Nation and the Drifters yet with little similarity, the rogue drone hives have developed several unique kinds of capital ships that double as self-rogue drone-production factories, mobile, newborn hiveminds and mobile stations along with fleets of their own to sustain their long-term incursions much longer in strategic isolated positions (like in dead-space) and mount expeditions of new regions and space to colonize and develop their hives without any portals or wormholes… Thus ensuring that no hives would become too big to collapse on themselves while being able to survive on their own and launching attacks everywhere without warning or knowing where these drones came from…
Furthermore, these rogue drone hives also took advantage of the low activity and numbers of Capsuleers in low to null-sec spaces and smuggler stargates to migrate to some of the other regions with null-sec spaces and establish their territories while annihilating any isolated pirate rats and NPCs and getting into conflict with various pirate factions… And setting them up in good positions to mount constant, probing attacks and assaults on empire territorial space, pirate and player-controlled null-sec space bases and Concord space as well… while also fortunately or unfortunately, leaving huge, constant amounts of free wrecks, loots and more for scavengers and salvagers to salvage and loot for study or reprocessing into minerals and free materials… Thus, putting all of the empires, pirate factions and Concord factions on high alert because of the sudden increase in the rogue drone threat level and pitting them into constant defences against the threat of the rogue drone incursions.
That’s my own explanation… I think that these probing attacks would be a source of income, minerals, materials, research and bounties and missions for many capsuleers and corporations, Concord and for the empires as the data, hardware, software, information and technology of these newly-evolved rogue drones and how they manage to disguise their behaviours, attack patterns, and hide their true capabilities for years without anyone’s notice would be a source of speculations, study, fears, innovation, technological-advancement and research for years…
Though, if Sansha’s Nation, Drifters and these Rogue Drones’ Incursions are to meet and attack each other, I think a nightmarish battle of a huge scale filled with wreckage, destruction and death would be the outcome of that conflict coming from the three factions meeting each other.
But anyway, give some feedback, criticism, ideas, changes and suggestions of your own about the Rogue Drone incursion event ideas or even suggest something different as this topic is open to other topics and ideas as well.
