Intergalactic Summit

Greetings. Some of you might know me from previous messages on the Intergalactic Summit, the Seyllin Conferences, Arek'Jaalan, or the security operations we conduct inside Placid and Black Rise. Today, however, I wish to speak on a matter of critical importance for all peoples, and Empires. I speak to the Federation directly in this message, as she raised me, and supported me as a citizen and a Capsuleer. It is my hope that this message does not fall on deaf ears.

Now that the reelection of President Roden is complete, and the electoral cycle concluded, it is time for the Federation to refocus on critical security issues that our people face.

Following the catastrophic events at W477-P, a Jove Empire system, numerous 'structures' have been detected throughout Federation territory, as well as the rest of New Eden. In these systems, a host of cruiser-class vessels, termed Circadian Seekers, have infiltrated CONCORD-protected territory and begun a sophisticated surveillance operation of major space stations, facilities, and transiting ships, with no apparent effort to conceal themselves, as if daring us to attack.

President Jacus Roden has committed to several campaign promises, including the strengthening of the Tripwire border protection system. We must raise issue with the usefulness of such a endeavor if entire space stations and fleets of Sleeper drones can appear inside our territory without explanation, comment, or response.

I and the entirety of the Villore Accords, call upon Jacus Roden's Administration and the Federal Navy to respond to this imminent threat to the commerce and security of our citizens. Without a clear and decisive response to this incursion of our territory, we can only expect to have Federation sovereignty further diminished.

Extensive research inside Anoikis, conducted by Arek'Jaalan and other organizations, suggests that the Sleeper civilization is capable of restocking and rebuilding its fleets of warships. In addition, the ability of their Hub facilities to repair and otherwise replenish themselves is clear.

Sleeper technology enables their vessels to conduct point-to-point jumps through normal space, as well as transiting wormholes. Given the infiltration of Empire space by Sleeper 'scouts', along with the presence of newly revealed Cache facilities, there is both the means, and the apparent intention, for a large-scale offensive operation against New Eden.

Of course, this has been the topic as a possibility for the past few years. The Seyllin Conferences have had numerous eminent scientists and tactical experts which discussed this issue. No formal comment was ever made by CONCORD on the possibility of Sleeper incursion.

Indeed, the First Seyllin Conference, held five years ago in YC111, I spoke specifically to the fact that a number of high-energy signatures were detected inside Class 6 Anoikis space. These facilities were heavily defended, with a residue of a highly reactive isotope. It has been since speculated that this isotope is indeed Isogen-5, the same material that caused the cores of several stars to detonate during the Seyllin Incident, and now the W477-P supernova (and apparently repeated in numerous "Shattered Systems", now being documented by Arek'Jaalan supoporters).

It is key to note that each time a star was destroyed or detonated in these systems, numerous unstable wormholes have been created throughout New Eden as a direct result. The Sleepers caching a large amount of the material required to create wormholes, before the wormholes were even created, seems to indicate their intention to use it, and indeed foreknowledge of the events that led to the wormholes forming.

Therefore, the trajectory of events appears clear. Sleeper artificial intelligences and infomorphs, or whatever faction now controls their virtual reality-based civilization, appear to have had a clear plan to infiltrate and survey the Empires and Capsuleers of New Eden for quite some time. Now that they have a clear opportunity to do so on a large-scale, with the formation of new wormholes, the information collection process has only escalated.

Information is power. With each passing moment, the weaknesses and strengths of every facility and combat vessel in New Eden is being systematically recorded and analyzed. In any other case in the course of civilized human foreign relations, uninvited surveillance of military resources by a foreign power is an act of war.

Our Empires and Alliances may not be interested in war, but war appears to be very interested in us. Capsuleers and the Empires must unite and defeat the Sleeper presence inside New Eden, and prevent this situation from spiraling out of control before it is too late.

President Jacus Roden, as the leader of the free universe, you must stand up and take the first step to bring about a response to this situation.

Hello, Julianus. It's been some time.

I agree that the current incursions of Sleepers into k-space are a matter of concern for all, both capsuleers and baseliners. Unfortunately, I fear that addressing it in any kind of concerted manner may prove challenging.

I agree with Mr. Lanate; however, this wouldn't be the first time for the empires to exhibit a willful ignorance where capsuleers are concerned.

I'm also afraid that the message you are trying to send will get drowned out in the usual noise of hate and vitriol that gets directed at the Federation.

I'm afraid that we may not see a united front against this threat until the situation reaches the same critical point that the Sansha incursions reached.

They started out just scanning things, and did not initially respond to attacks.

Now they respond to being attacked, and call in reinforcements and are known to adapt their damage resistance.

Some pilots have reported unprovoked attacks.

And they attack capsules, something even the sleeper drones in wormhole space do not do.


I think we'll be seeing this come to a head. We just might see a day when starship wrecks are all around and these things are everywhere.

Anja, this is a matter that we need to look past personal and political differences on. This isn't just a GMVA or Federation issue. This is a threat affecting all of us. If it takes the Federation to get a response started, then so be it.



You're not helping your case, Rinai.

My philosophy on Public Relations for GMVA is generally to rise above petty personal attacks.

Not always.

Any PYRE or GMVA pilot who wants to can freely engage each other in space. Considering our Executor regularly leads combat ops, Pilot Suorsa's accusation of cowardice rings as true as an offer to double your ISK in Jita. Making her insults on the IGS when she has every opportunity to take action in space is worthy only of ridicule.

Meh. One can only be 350km off the beacon watching that entire combat patrol getting dunked so often before accusations like that will start sticking.

Of course, if Julianus has changed his tactics in the last six months or so, he has my apologies.

My sides. In Orbit.

He's right though. Watched him run plenty of times.

....then again watched PYRE dock plenty of times too when we roll around.

I LOVE YOU PIETER.

Funny you can actually give a damn about issues outside of your little puppet theater of a war zone. At least there's hope for you yet, kid.

**** Traffic Intercept*** ISD Flidais Asagiri... Traffic monitored.... careful....what...is passed over open comms......

Everybody bails from engagements sometimes. I've seen Soter get primaried within 30 seconds plenty often.

Speaking of tactics, I remember the good ol days in Enaluri when PYRE never flew much other than kitey Hookbills and Condors. I never called y'all cowards, but it was interesting how that setup allowed you to get easy kills on anything that couldn't catch you... and promptly run away from anything that could.

Look, we can do this dance all day. Or, alternatively we might talk about what to do about the Sleepers who may or may not be planning to kill us all.

You aren't the one who gets to determine what those issues are, "kid".
