Intergalactic Summit

She might have. Or she may not have actually been in the pod when it detonated.

If she were a clone, she would not have been made empress, so she cannot be one.

Wow, now, that's something I would hear in a pleasure hub in lowsec near Amarr space.

Could you please provide your source information on this? There h as been speculation for some time about her being a clone due to what happened, its a reasonable assumption but you sound like you have hard proof to have knowledge of the process of cloning that occurred. It would be of great help to those who wish to know what really happened to have something solid to go off of.

I was the one who activated her clone. I'm not allowed to tell you that though....

I knew this fellow in a bar, he claimed that he infiltrated P.I.E. To acces their database to search for the missing body of the Empress. He learned that the body ended in the hands of the empyrean champion that represented her in the contest. He claimed to have evidence of this and was going to sell it to the Sabiks, ... Silas... If my memory don't fail me...but was betrayed and ridiculed. He bable about this for hours ....he claimed the body destroyed in the explosion was cloned in a similar fashion as dust bunnies.. I use to find him entertaining specially after the fifth drink when he started reciting poems in Amarrian.... Good times..

Exploration Frontier Inc has successfully completed an exploration expedition in Conflux. Today at around 00:10.


Adopted strategy against Drifter vessels:

Having gone to the conclusion that there is no reliable way to avoid losses facing Drifters, we decided to minimize human an financial casualties by simply ignoring them. They did not receive any damages and their attacks were promptly countered by our Ospreys.
I must warn you however that, maybe by poor luck, one of our pilots reported that the Drifter once managed to land a hit that was 3 times more powerful than an usual Drifter volley. Such event makes a decent shield or armor buffer mandatory, even with formidable reactivity from your logistics.


After Action Report from the Conflux:

The Caracal Fleet with Osprey support had to split in two groups. Capsuleers with remarkable hacking skills were able to open us the way without the need for any specialised ship, as they were in standard Ospreys outfitted with a Data Analyzer II.

The security of the Conflux was quite impressive, as everytime we managed to unlock something through haking, it would be locked again in a matter of minutes. It should also be noted that one group was only able to unlock the way for the opposite group, forcing both group to progress through the site in parallel, following a strict timing.

Sadly, one group failed to identify the console that would open the final acceleration gate for the other group. As we had no knowledge of the layout of the Conflux, they did not realize that they were about to reach the Conflux Hive before it was too late.

Therefore, only 40% of the fleet managed to reach the Hive. It consisted in a circular structure of an estimated 120km size. Along with the sleeper drone protection that every part of the Conflux had, we noticed a Drifter named "Hikanta Tyrannos", seemingly guarding a structure named "Conflux Vault".

We engaged Hikanta Tyrannos and proceeded to destroy his vessel, loosing a ship in the process. It was quite a surprise however, when we realized that his remains contained a Vidette Index. A quick analysis revealed that it is some sort of key, but not the one we were looking for, as it was unable to open the Conflux Vault.

Therefore, having nothing left to do, I ordered the fleet to leave the system.

Altrue, Just a thought, but did you try using the key on the Conflux Hive, if there was one?

if it fits the pattern reported earlier in this thread, there may be a chance that a key dropped in one part would open the other side.

as the scope article said it was based on the proprietary shielding technology used to protect stations and stargates, there was plenty of evidence that it existed.

This is very, very alarming news. This massive collection of Drifter Forces must be destroyed. I would propose the formation of a large Capital and Super-Capital Fleet to destroy this threat before it becomes bigger.

We need to access these vaults, and we need to find out what is in them. We also need to destroy this 'Hikanta Tyrannos', and the Redoubt Hive itself if possible.

I morn the loss of Hilen Tukoss, but he is just one casualty of many, and many, many more if this threat is not dealt with. Let this be a rallying call to a war.


We need to destroy the Drifters before it is too late.

Afraid to say but looking at the readings taken of the unidentified wormholes seems to indicate that capital vessels are unable to pass through limiting us to the use of sub-capital vessels. Also given the seeming nature of the Drifters as infomorphs similar to ourselves they more then likely simply download to a new body upon 'death' making their destruction infuriatingly difficult.
