Time for another update as I have enough data to mark some preliminary findings
We have had a few waves of the new invasion phase that includes Low Sec and things are rather different now. I am treating the low sec phase almost as a new start for the data as things are rather different now.
Firstly this blue sun trend has mostly stopped and the star systems hit are a lot more varied. As said before there are a number of white sun systems hit, probably more than there should be if systems were targeted at random, but not anything like the crazy frequency of those blue stars. To be precise white stars make up about 5.5% of all stars in Kspace but around 23% of invasion foothold sites since the start of this new phase. Early days though, we shall see if this continues.
Second the invasion has spread, but just to low sec but regions that seem to have been largely ignored but could have been attacked in the previous phase. Notably among these are Molden Heath, Solitude and Aridia which were mostly ignored up until now.
Though its early days Genesis has had the most invasions, so perhaps the Triglavians are still interested in it regardless of the phase.
Previously the Amarr and Gallente both had the most invasions with the Caldari hit far less often and the Minmatar barley hit at all. The Gallente seem to have taken less of the proportion of hits this time round, and the Caldari and Minmatar have more… but half of all invasions have been in Amarr space affiliated entities like the Ammatar Mandate and Khand Kingdom.
Sansha link?
As briefly mentioned at the end of a recent scope report it has been suggested that an “Attack on Seshi by Triglavian Forces “Could be Connected to Vimoksha Chorus Raids” Claims Source in AEGIS”.
This does not appear to be the first time this has happened. Remember the invasion of Nasreri, in Genesis, that was followed up shortly by a Triglavian invasion.
The question is do the Trigvians (sometimes) target areas hit Sansha?
Now if I understand correctly the former was an offshoot of Sansha’s nation and the latter is the nation itself so do the Triglavians distinguish between the two. Also Seshi was only a Perimeter system of that Triglavian invasion spread.
Whatever the case I shall try and keep an eye on incursion sites as well. There are two of interest at the moment, one in the Jakemhih constellation of Domain, the other in the Orshed Constellation of Derelik (I believe the Ammatar Mandate has been heavily hit by Sansha as well these days in general). When they clear lets see if the Triglavians move in.
Interestingly enough one of the current invasions, Oguser, is where a rumoured Sansha Agent of the name Krethar Mann is known to hang out. Doubt they would invade an entire area just for one agent though.
Random other
The Triglavians recently hit one of those High Sec blue stars in Sonama, Kador. This spread an invasion throughout a constellation called… Trigentia
Conincidence? Undoubtedly, but I thought I would throw that odd ball out there for the conspiracy theorists amount us
@Valiran_Teleros Thanks for the heads up, I shall try to go to one of the bigger markets and see what I can find
Now that is interesting, if you look at foothold systems it follows the High sec phase pattern, but if you look at the perimeter systems the follows the general colour frequency of the cluster (i.e. Lots of oranges and hardly any white stars, etc). I think then that the colour of the sun probably does not affect the wormholes in the slightest, but that’s useful to know. I still wonder if this system changing Triglavian Malarkey is causing the increases in uiWH numbers but I am more leaning on it being those Nefarious Drifters
Anywho thanks for this, I have a few ideas stirring in my head!
I think it is highly possible they are testing us and do intend to build permanent gates between our space and theirs, but there could be lots going on, it’s hard to tell at this stage
