Fellow Capsuleers,

About nine days have passed since the Court Chamberlain of the Amarr Empire confirmed the death of Her Majesty Empress Jamyl Sarum I. Four days later, a unilateral declaration of war was issued by the Gravity Well decree. Though the Drifter threat is not universally reckognized as a cluster-wide full fledged war, the Amarr mobilization was followed by a drifter incursion in Khanid space shortly after.

Knowledge and vigilance are two major key words for Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. at this time. Undertakings like Arek'Jaalan's respectable Project Salus, Signal Cartel's restless system charting, or Aeon Amadii's launched research fund are great and important efforts to further those goals and to decipher the Drifter mystery.

IKAME would like to present a revised documentation of the Drifter hive system anomalies for easier accessability at this point. Why that? Because we believe that the so called 'drifter staging systems' are playing an important role in the upcoming violent confrontations between the Drifter forces and New Eden. Until now, the hive complexes themselves have been in focus. The anomaly sites are the second major feature in those five drifter systems. They are unique in several ways.

Please find attached the latest compilation of the twenty-five anomalies, as well as illustrative video footage.

Drifter Hive Systems Anomalies - Report

We encourage everyone to seek out those systems, complexes, and anomalies in order to make yourself familiar. Subtle changes might indicate upcoming events. Are there yet undiscovered functionalities hidden within those sites? Please feel free to post any questions or new observations regarding the hive system anomalies below.

Sincerely yours,

Thank you and well done.

This report will certainly aid the Empire in finding ways to exterminate this menace. I look forward to one day being in the fleet that invades their space and kills their leader.

Commendations to fellow researchers, a job well done.

For interested, I will plug our Public Archives, which are currently under construction. There you will be able to look through related documents and reports. If you have something that you want to add to these Archives or you have any ideas regarding their development, please contact me directly via EVEmail.

Fellow Capsuleers,

Though not directly related to the hive system anomalies, I would like to confirm the possibility of two unidentified wormholes reaching out to the same solar system. I could wittness this today on an exploration route through S-51XG, Detorid. Soon I laid eyes on C414 and B735 wormhole entry points leading to the Conflux and Barbican solar systems.

I've heard this unlikely appearance of two entry wormholes to drifter hive systems in one solar system has been reported once before. I could not find the original report, so I support it with additional evidence. Please see solar maps one and two.

It was my impression that the roaming drifter presence was more intense and threatening than usual in S-51XG. I spotted five drifter battleships guarding the Conflux entry. As far as I know they usually roam in numbers of three or less but I may be wrong at this point.

Sincerely yours,

Haritimado-haani, that's the first I've heard of five Drifters in the same place outside of an incursion engagement or Tyrannos raid. Hm.

That said, thank you for the report! And thank you, Jaret, for being quick to add it to the archive.

Pilots, please do feel free to contact us with reports or presentations you feel need to be archived to ensure they're not lost in the depths of the forums, or with ideas for research topics or expeditions, or for joint ventures. We at Itsukame-Zainou are always looking for more.

In service,
