Verified Viriette: Drifter connections of Intaki Assembly alleged by protesters
Navyii Akat, Intaki V, YC121 October 20 - They say sunlight is the best disinfectant. The Intaki Assembly’s deafening silence on the content and context of its negotiations with the Lai Dai Corporation, on the other hand, is creating a fertile ground for conspiracy theories. The latest to surface among protests against the actions of the Intaki Assembly, now in their ninth week, is that of Lai Dai mediating a connection between the Intaki Assembly and the Drifters that have been ravaging New Eden for over four years.

Some protesters now suspect that Lai Dai’s raiding of Ida monasteries and medical facilities on Intaki V was driven by their alliance with the Drifters.
Behind the fast-spreading conspiracy theory is information going viral on GalNet forums that a corporation called PKN Cryptographic, affiliated to none other than the Drifters, has been registered at the Lai Dai Corporation headquarters in the Airkio system. Lai Dai is a lead partner in PKN Interstellar, a consortium encompassing members from all across New Eden that is redeveloping and expanding the Jita IV-4 trade hub. PKN’s Jita IV-4 contract was made public more or less simultaneously with Lai Dai negotiating the ceasefire with the Intaki Assembly that sparked the ongoing public protests on Intaki Prime. It is unclear whether PKN Cryptographic is one of the associate members of the PKN Interstellar consortium.
