After scouting around a new drifter WH has opened up 1 jump away from the Hek Minmatar area. Suspected drifter battle ships have been in and out of the WH en mass.

Pics below of the WH, sorry didn't get any screen caps of the fleets entering Minmatar space, but they are here, beware.

http://i.imgur.com/ESPq3nT.png?1 as above these gates are always guarded... possibly linked to their home system

I imagine Hek is safe for now. The unidentified WH beacon seems to spawn in systems with jove observatories. The anomalies in the system are [randomly?] patrolled. and the Barbican beacon is the entrance to a "drifter hive" site. a dungeon with 2 paths that requires hacking to advance. There are 5 versions and each drops a type index that can be used in another hive to receive a type element. The Barbican, Conflux, Redoubt, Sentinel, and Vidette.

I think the consortium did a raid on Saturday very well could be more screenshots, but I haven't looked for them yet.

been on something of an exploration/lore binge lately. Props to the people that run the Consortium for figuring out most of the stuff. I mostly just showed up and went sight seeing.

if anyone is interested "Join our Consortium Operations mailing list for mail notifications of upcoming operations, or check the Consortium Operations channel message of the day." from their FAQ googledoc
