Hm. I … am not sure this works quite the way you think of it, Arrendis. I was [an observer for ARC](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/war-journal-triglavian-collective/250400/80) during the “weaving of Pochven.” I was in Kuharah when it happened, and sort of [rode the system](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/war-journal-triglavian-collective/250400/182) into its new … configuration, place, phase, whatever you want to call it. As far as I could tell, what happened to the stargates wasn’t something the Triglavians did directly to them; it was more of an effect (I’d call it a side effect only I’m sure it was intended) of what happened to the _whole system,_ all at once. Basically we don’t have any sign the Triglavians can do this to individual stargates. We have a lot of indication, though, that a … let’s call it a “phase-shift” because why not … into Pochven “changes the rules” enough that existing artificial wormholes (literally what existing stargates are) get flooded with exotic matter. The way I currently model the whole business goes something like this, proceeding in layers or else a sliding scale: [start] ? ? ? “normal” space deadspace deep deadspace (“deathglow” harvesting fields) . . . Pochven (stargates severed, natural wormhole formation involves ejection of probably millions of tons of exotic matter, moderate Trig-induced stellar “weather,” etc.) . . . . . . . Triglavian Abyss (egger controlled filament access only; general access possible by means unknown to us eggers; Drifter DD no-workie and general Drifter combat functionality crippled; extreme stellar “weather”; strong Triglavian influence over spacetime, etc.) ? ? ? [end] That last might actually occupy several different tiers or just different region of the same. Either way it’s deep enough that spacetime gets _really strange._ Enough that local language patterns appear to presume communication among entities experiencing time at different speeds. (If I were the Collective I would _absolutely_ be fast-timing my R&D facilities where possible. Transfer scans of a bizarre new Talocan artifact when I wake up, have detailed reports by the time I’m dressed, updated theoretical physics models before I finish my coffee, and five generations of increasingly-sophisticated practical-application prototypes by day’s end. Sweet!) Pochven’s not that strange, but it’s still pretty strange. It seems like it can’t form wormholes to K-space at all without spewing exotic matter all over at both ends, which is probably how the stargates got clogged. Not sure you could even purposely build a new stargate _in_ unless you had a reliable way to clear the weird stuff (or rather let it clear itself-- it mostly seems to be a problem if there’s a structure there for it to get hung up in). If, as it seems, that’s an effect of the “depth” rather than a Triglavian tool at work, clogging gates probably just involves pulling the system into Pochven, which doesn’t seem to be a trivial feat. (You know-- world ark, stellar transmuter, maybe weeks of relatively-undisturbed prep time, all that. They didn’t even really start beyond messing with the “weather” a bit until they were satisfied with their haul, and then they pulled it all “down” at once.) So I think, basically, there’s nothing easy about it, even for the Collective. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/report-on-pochvens-stellar-fleet-deployment-site/414907)._
