Oh would you get off your ******* high horse to try and make this about Amarr this woe is us that grr capsuleers? I think this is a bit bigger and more important than any Empire in the Cluster. We get enough bitching about that, don't turn this situation into another grr Empires thing.
Yes please. theres' enough other threads for doom and gloom and this is all your fault finger pointing.

Anyone figure anything out about those...disruption towers and weird gates?

Are you talking about the structures in Thera?

All I know about them is they are Talocan and seem to manipulate gravitational fields.

The energy arcing appears almost identical to that of the malfunctioning cloaked structure I found in a recently discovered sleeper data cache.

Analysis of the contents of the data caches within the site resulted in the discovery of several new forms of weapons technology labeled as "Polarized". I have an old friend of the scientific persuasion analyzing the blueprints now.

There was also an odd assortment of familiar weapons tech and faction construction components.

Observe and gather your data, Mr Kraid, I do truly wish you the best in your endeavors. I am sure representatives of all the peoples of New Eden will assist. I am not a scientist so I will be of no use to your cause.

However, I am a woman of Faith. My Faith commissions me to protect His people, to bring the Word to all, reclaiming them as His. A majority of capsuleers I feel are forever lost, but not the peoples of the empires, for them I hold an abundance of hope. So the fact that some elements are recklessly experimenting with things that they do not understand, or should be let be, and the results of which we are all made to suffer for and be set at risk sets my blood aboil. I do apologize for letting my anger get the better of me.

Go with God, you will have need of Him.

According to one of your hoodoo holy men, your scriptures say "god is not mocked, don't be deceived. Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he reap." Your vaunted faith led the race to exploit sleepers recently, so of all new eden, you may well be the first to reap the rewards of your actions. And while that exploitive nature is shared by all the cluster, no others hide behind faith and their god as an excuse for greed and slaughter. The rest of us are just honest brigands, pirates, and opportunists. So by all means, protect the innocent bystanders, those caught in the crossfire; but spare us the religious commentary. Focus on the situation, understanding it, and doing what you can to help. That will get us through this.

A bit late to the fray: I have also stumbled upon one of these structures in High-Sec Genesis. It's roughly the size of a big control tower.

After reaching similar conclusions than here - some kind of cloaking device - I tried to destabilize the field further through the use of EMP smartbombs. It did not yield further result.

A pic snapped by my camera drones: http://i.imgur.com/JWoqXit.jpg

Note how even the structure's electrical field seems unfaded.

scanning the new eden solar system, which has its historical signifcance, i have found the same structure, 4 circadian seekers. They have been warping between become planetary customs office and the gate. One set has been killed and looted for scientific purposes, metal scraps were gained. A new set has appeared, am observing this time, nothing major noted.

The location in the new eden system is unsettling also

Can confirm one of this Unidentified Structures in HighSec, in the Abai system, Tash-Murkon region.

As it stands. Data collected by ONS. shows that most constellations in the cluster has at least one of these structures. Sleeper drones units have also been spotted, although while they approach they have yet to be seen making contact with the object in question.

Will report if our teams find anything else.

Just found in two Hi-Sec systems.

I also noticed that there are wormholes in same systems, maybe is where the sleepers come from Big smile

Alrighty, new firmware in place, whiskey bladders replenished, time to find some things.

Didn't have to look far. There was one in the next system over from where I was. Hakodan in the Bleak Lands. Will continue picking the region over.

Preliminary research conducted mostly by my team (and a few privately funded researchers at Occult National Security) suggests that these unidentified structures may be the remnants--or foundation--of a covert station net weaved across the vastness of New Eden. This hypothesis is based on the following information observed in the field and maps drafted through extensive efforts by our stellar cartographers:

1. While we could not determine the composition of the structures, it is of note that these structures vary in distance from the planetary bodies they orbit, but never resided within 150,000 km nor exceeded 300,000 km. It may be prevalent to also note that the structures are, in all cases, located within the eye of a gas and dust cloud orbiting (that is still undergoing analysis).

2. Structures located (by region): The Forge, Kador, Kor-Azor, Tribute, Geminate, and Vale of the Silent

I have also uploaded a data packet containing a list of all systems mapped in the aforementioned regions, along with the corresponding planet each structure is currently orbiting. The packet can be found here. As previously mentioned by Mr. Onslaughtor, our data suggests that an average of one to two structures can be found per constellation per region. Sometimes there were as many as three or four.

Our next step is to continue mapping the various regions. Currently we are recording the locations of any structures that reside within the Syndicate region, and are planning to expand our search to Outer Ring and Fountain.

Perhaps then my team can find some time for R&R.

Rather than everyone having their own lists, we should combine them.

So far my list seems to have a majority of the regions.

I can (so far) corroborate the 1-2 structures per constellation.
Next I think we should map how many jumps and/or lightyears each sighting seems to be from one another.

Maybe the Jovians have come to remind us of their supremacy.

These towers may emit disruption fields that will cause the realignment of solar systems and connection of stargates.

Imagine, the blue donut becomes the blue crumble, empires would fall, only the strong would survive..... and they be Jovian

I've counted five in The Bleak Lands so far and logged each into your list.

Jump counts between them seems fairly random. 1-2 per constellation seems about right, although I swear I came across three in one constellation.

Still have some systems to check out in the region. But I think that will have to wait until tomorrow. The crew is a getting a bit.....erm....droopy.

Sleepers in known space.


Long have we feared this day.


Our lives changed and all we did was wake up.

From our own sleep.

I too have been searching, and I have found FOUR within 5 jumps of Aunia, 2 jumps from Dodixie. I have ALSO found out these things are scanning STATIONS. One of them had the audacity to warp to Aunia's sole station, where it was promptly destroyed by another capsuleer I'm sure. I did not see the destruction, however I have salvaged the wreck, and only got a few metal scraps. I have examined those scraps, and I'm even more puzzled.

They are DEFINATELY of Sleeper origin. But what are they doing here? my BIGGEST concern is what could happen if this event is related to what is going on in Jove space. If they shut down every stargate in the House systems...the widespread panic that will ensue will destroy us all.

These strange objects are secret Jove bases that have lost their cloak in some way due to God's destruction of the Jove.

The things scanning them may be automated Jove drones who are now lost and are scanning for their masters. Too bad their scanners won't reach Hell, because that's where all the Jove are.

I've been working closely on these new structures and sleeper appearances with my team, and some volunteers from Arek'Jaalan. We've set up a research site to study the structure in Nakugard and are continuing to study the structure and the new drones.

All information on what we know about the structures and drones is here.

Please feel free to mail me, or send me any messages with new information, images or such.

Thank you,
Dr. Frenjo Borkstar.

Hopefully I'll be able to catalogue another region today. Once we can compare a few complete sections of the cluster we'll maybe get a better idea of what we're dealing with.
