I recently obtained a quite pristine copy of Mynos Tyrannos’ mind. The mind is in good condition and we didn’t detected any trace of corruption. My colleagues and I hope it will allow us to discover and study the many things that go through the Drifters’ heads.

SOCT scientists blame Drifter Wormhole experimentation for changes in connecting wormhole behaviors.
This is interesting information. Perhaps it could mean that in the future they will have more control over the generation of wormholes, or even the ability to create lasting connections with other systems at will. This could be a significant technological development in the fields of exploration, warfare, and logistics if that’s the case.
EDENCOM reports shift in abyssal energies inside Pochven, resulting in quantum probability shifts.
Pilots warned altered Pochven abyssal energies may interfere with ship location information.
Reports on Triglavian tactics within Pochven suggest shift in response to energy changes.
Given the role of the Triglavian Collective during the Drifter crisis, I think this could be related to that conflict, or perhaps not. It’s difficult to determine given the limited information available.

Unless someone destroyed a Drifter ship, recovered the body and kissed it, I don’t think so and I hope not.

Hyperspace fluctuations around Forge confuse cosmologists.
This is either the result of an experiment with the hyperspace network, possibly a Caldari one, or the Drifters or another faction with similar technology is doing something.

Today, all the gates connecting Jita to other systems experienced some kind of “accident”, the nature of which is still unclear. More precisely, the accident seemed to have occured on the side of the systems connected to Jita, and not on Jita’s side itself.

I also noticed the presence of a new “anomaly” near the Caroline’s Star Nebula when I was in some systems near Jita.

Not only is the presence of these clouds reminiscent of what happened to Tabbetzur during the Drifter crisis, but the ray-like feature near certain gates also resembles the hyperspace fractures that appeared in late YC127 as a result of experiments on the hyperspace network. This new anomaly near the Caroline’s star Nebula is also reminiscent of that same nebula and anomaly which appeared in late YC116.
Here are the results of an early analysis of the damaged gate linking Jita to Perimeter. The same results were obtained when the other gates were analyzed.
It seems that the space-time around these gates has been altered in a way that damages and irradiates them and that the hyperspace fluctuations around the Forge detected 8 days ago were a prelude to this, in addition to being a sign that manipulations of hyperspace could therefore be used for destructive purpose, and maybe even military ones.
The precise cause of these events is not yet known. It could be an accident caused by research of the Caldari State on the hyperspace network, or perhaps an enemy attack, maybe even a Drifter one. Furthermore, there have been reports of accusations of stargate tampering by members of the Intaki Syndicate and arrest of members of the Syndicate in Jita recently. Perhaps these Syndicate members prepared this in advance and it is only now that the tampering is taking effect, or perhaps they were wrongly accused after anomalies were noticed and the cause is something else entirely.
The appearance of the anomaly is also strange, given that it became visible to the naked eye on the same day as the accident involving these gates. It’s possible that this is related to something happening in Jovian space considering its proximity to the Caroline’s star nebula, which is itself located in Jovian space. Furthermore, since the hyperspace network appears to have been used by the Jovians and may have been created by them, given that the Drifters covet the hyperspace network and the Warden, seemed possibly interested in Jovian space, that may even have sent some of their forces there and that they most likely have a grudge against those who annexed their systems, including the Caldari State, it seems possible that Jovian-related elements are involved in these disasters.
Researchers from the Einherjar Foundation have been sent to study the aftermath of these disasters and the anomaly. I will keep you updated regarding these events.

Having recently re-deployed to the State after an extended time in the Solitude region setting up local aid infrastructure, I am pledging what limited resources my organization has to assist with repairs of the affected stargates, or if more feasible, aid and counsel to the families of those affected.
I caution the State to avoid jumping to hasty conclusions. If a financial record tying the Federation to this act was found this early, it is likely that it was made to be that easy. Beware of the raptor circling above both…

All we can know for sure is that the Federation wasn’t (directly) involved. Which suspects does this leave? I think we can rule the Triglavians out, as Jita is not the type of star they have ever shown interest in before, nor would its status as the cluster’s leading trade hub seem to hold them much appeal, leaving the list of suspects containing the Minmatar Republic, EDENCOM, the Amarr Empire, and the Caldari State. Top on my list is EDENCOM, but that’s just my inherent distrust of anything CONCORD. While the State were the victims of this attack, I don’t think we can strike them (or at least all of their megacorps) off the list just yet.
It’s also worth asking, what purpose would hyperspatial fracturing serve the Collective? They’ve largely been silent with the exception of the weaving of Pochven.
Beyond the alarming nature of these news, if we follow the trail of theft and sabotage and if this method of attack develops without restrictions, it could have a significant impact on how war is waged. It wouldn’t surprise me if the destructive properties of the network could interest occupying factions for their next operations, especially since tensions are rising. Perhaps the Drifters had planned to use such a method during the Wrath of Tyrannos.
Although the “anomaly” has been confirmed to be a coalescence of blackbody radiations, the Foundation’s research on it will continue.

My scientific team and I have developed some hypotheses about the captured Drifter gates after an early analysis and study of what happened on April 21.
While it’s not yet entirely clear and further research is needed, the speech given by CEP Chairman Akimaka Saraki shortly after the disaster suggests that the Drifter Gates aren’t just capable of altering spacetime to create fractures or manipulating wormhole connections, but also of transferring data to a degree that would be of interest to those seeking to extort money through technological means instead of traditional methods. According to Saraki, this extortion scheme impacted the entire Caldari State. If that’s the case, then it must have involved a significant amount of data.
Some time ago, we shared hypotheses regarding the nature and functions of the Warden and since the Drifter gates appear to have similar characteristics such as the manipulation of space-time and data in a seemingly rather advanced way, we have theorized that the Drifter gates and the Warden might be more similar than one might think.
The Drifters seemed intent on gaining access to the Warden to execute their plans, despite already possessing such powerful Gates. Was access necessary to rebuild and reactivate them and restore their current capabilities, or would it simply have made them even more “powerful” ? If access to the Warden was needed to make them more powerful despite the fact that they may have the same capabilities and function but not at the same level, it could mean that the Minmatar Republic, the Caldari State, the Amarr Empire, EDENCOM and the Triglavian Collective each have a sort of second-rate, but still effective, Warden-like structure. If this is true, it could put us somewhat closer to a technological parity with the Deathless Circle and be used as a weapon against them. This could represent a significant development in the fight against pirate insurgencies. I hope that this is the case and that it will be wisely used to ensure the stability and security of New Eden despite the rising tensions that could disrupt such anti-pirate endeavors.
As I mentioned in my previous post, this could impact how war is waged by powers possessing such gates. Imagine if it were used as a superior hacking weapon, or as a system of pure and simple destruction, or even both simultaneously. It could be useful in combating pirate organizations but also devastating in unscrupulous hands, especially if tensions continue to escalate and war crimes continue to be committed. Perhaps the Jovians have used such capabilities with these gates and the Warden in past conflicts too.
We don’t know when the Warden and the Drifter gates were built, but given their architectural style they would probably date from the Second or even First Empire rather than the Third. Since both apparently have the same range in terms of space-time alteration, we wondered if all these structures might be redundant. If the Jovians already had a space-time alteration structure, why build another ones? We hypothesized that it might have been for large-scale operations that would have been more effective with several similar structures, or that there were several factions who wanted their own gates for their own agenda which weren’t necessarily aligned with that of the others.

Actually, this “anomaly” maybe not from Jovian space, I think it is Jita. It can be confirmed by set route.

After some further analysis, it became clear to us that it was indeed just radiation from the disaster.

Just anaylzing the radiaition emitted from the gate has been difficult and fatal. Even with modifications for radiation shielding from shields, armor and hull, I’ve experienced extreme radiation poison and sickness in mere seconds.
There too much radiation emitted to survive long enough to functionally interact (much of the Caldari Police and State’s annoyance of my improtu activites) with the gates superstructure. By the time I enter the radiation’s emission horizon, thresholds for acceptable tolerance for human exposure has been broken and even more so for electronics and remote drones. I’ve lost control of plenty of survey and logistics drones and probes within the vicinity, if their micromainframes arent immediately vaporized, good luck trying to get any remote signals out.
Unrelated but I have experienced, above acceptable average, gaps and lag in my memory as well between points of exposure and recloning. I don’t know if the radiation is effecting the fluid router process, but whatever it is. It ain’t good.
I’ve reached out to sympathetic colleagues in the University of Callie academia to analyze any of the data I have gathered at the Jita gates to determine if there is even an effective way to rescue the deceased maintenance workers and repair the gates remotely. Or if anything, develop some kind of countermeasure to the extreme amount of radiation being emitted.
I’ve also contacted my senator, urging Gallente Gate crews and services to be on alert. Regardless of who perpetrated the attack, if the attack can be replicated, its a matter of time of execution and when.
