Intergalactic Summit

Greetings fellow capsuleers and readers of this summit,

This broadcast will cover the current findings of the research project Tranquility. This research project has been started to get a better understanding of the Sansha technology and to look for a way to prevent their current Incursions.


The first part of the findings are related to the ships and tactics that are employed by the Sansha forces in a Incursion area. The published information from The Synenose Accord has been a big help for this. All the information that will be published in this broadcast can be found freely. The project has been working on connecting the different types of information together to come to these findings.


The overall attributes of the ships employed in the Incursions shows a distinct purpose for each ship class. Though they often share a similar hull design, they will have completely different attributes based on their intended purpose. What is remarkable is that the resistance to the different damage types are equal across the board. While this makes them stronger as individual ships, it also allows for a specific targeting priority when fighting the Incursion forces.
No actual ship information has been retrievable as the deployed ships are incomparable to the reverse engineered ship classes for capsuleer use. Scanner and salvage attempts at the destroyed ships have not given any additional insights. Perhaps this was intentionally done to avoid the technology behind the ships to fall into empire or capsuleer hands.

An absolute marvel of starship construction is the Revenant class mothership. It has a huge shield resistance and a vast amount of shield for protection. It's defenses are immunity to electronic warfare and a vast amount of fighter bombers. The only reason why interdictors are not needed to avoid the Revenant flagship of each incursion to run, is that it's the lynchpin of each Incursion. Upon the destruction of the Revenant, each incursion will end.
This leads to the theory that the Revenant in each incursion is needed to allow for additional forces to be deployed into the area and to effective coordinate the Incursion.

The biggest question that remains is how the Sansha are able to sustain the losses they suffer. At the outbreak of the incursions and the abduction of planet population no one knew anything about the motive behind it. The fact that DNA samples of the crew would be present on reinforcements was also a big surprise. It seems obvious now that after the abductions, the abducted population has received implants based on sleeper technology. The very same implants that have been used for the creation of DUST mercenary forces. This would also be an explanation how the abducted population could perform the various tasks on starships without having ever received any training. It would seem that just as for us capsuleers, the skills can be uploaded and trained into the brain through the sleeper based implants.

How the Sansha are able to perform their Incursions have proven to be a very difficult subject. Considering the vulnerability to gravimetric ecm would indicate that the technology behind the wormholes to allow the incursion forces to be deployed is based on either gravimetric or gravitational equipment or manipulation. I believe at this time that the technology might be similar to how we operate our warp travel. Instead of pushing an object forward to a destination, a vacuum is created that sucks the object towards a destination. This theory seems to be supported by the Jove technology that allows for a better navigation between two different points in space.

I also believe that the sleepers have a role. I am currently unable to retrieve the actual logs, but a capsuleer was informed by a/the awakened infomorph that the Sansha were not creating the wormholes. As proof the capsuleer was invited to follow a/the awakened informorph to find a new wormhole on the very same location he arrived. This would suggest that a cooperation between the Sansha and Sleepers would be in order. This is most troubling indeed and needs further investigation.

My current theory is that the recovered Jovian technology is placed inside or part of the Revenant in each Incursion that allows for additional forces to be deployed. The Revenant would also be one if not the first ship to arrive to establish the needed passage. Considering the size and resilience of the design it would be able to make the first and less stable passage based on earlier deployed assets during end of the initial outbreak in Incursions. The deployed assets are expected to function as a triangulation for the Revenant to arrive and establish a uplink with the deployed assets. This would then allow for a pinpoint and more stable route between where the Incursion forces are gathered and the intended Incursion target.


Apologies for any lacking scientific explanations. I am not a scientist and I have done my best to understand the feedback I have received from the scientists working on this project and what I've been able to find in logs and documentation. During the following weeks trials will be performed to see if the basic theories that I've come up with and had tested as feasible or true.

Considering I have an extreme dislike of Sansha and his little Nation, any info on that madman's incursions and how they are done is welcome. so thank you Dutch.

This area of inquiry is to be applauded.

The ongoing threat to the entire cluster is the type of thing that should be a major priority. Please keep us up to date as things proceed. Humanity must form an impenetrable barricade against these programmable monstrosities.

In fact a capsuleer "Incursion" into the heart of Sansha space to eliminate this plague once and for all should be organized. It is time to hunt the predators in their den.

I thank you for the current feedback that seems to confirm at least part of the current theories that have originated from this project. However I would like to stress that this project and DIRSI do not support any military actions against the Sansha Nation in it's own territory. The project is only focused on understanding the technology behind the current Incursions and to find a way to stop the Incursions not to destroy or invade the Sansha Nation.

I can appreciate good sarcasm miss Gesakaarin, it usually makes me chuckle.

I am not stating that this report is a breakthrough. However it does connect several dots of information that seems to be related to each other and is rather scattered and fractured at this time.

Miss Gesakaarin, the Implants Clone Troopers recieve are based on retrieved sleeper technology. While they are not Sleeper implants by the strict meaning, it's well known it involves sleeper tech to make them work as it does. This information can be found on the Dust Mercenary Infoboards.
To clarify, the implants are based on sleeper tech, but are not ripped from the wrecks of sleeper themselves. To elaborate on this: the implants are made by the four nations and various unaligned factions, integrating sleeper tech because it works, but we don't know why it works like that, let alone how it does.

I suppose it's okay to be lazy when others do the work for you.

"This technology was being used to create a new breed of soldier, who would not suffer from the pains of death, who would not know fear or pain or loss. It was initially created using salvage from beyond the wormholes, though we have developed our own variant since then."

Excellent.

This is the IGS, everything has to be taken with disbelief and skepticism.

It's nothing personal, but when anyone and everyone tends to claim this or that, I find it's a good instinct to remain incredulous at first until proven otherwise.

So the Caldari had them, the Federation had them, apparently he said the Matari had them...

... Just waiting for that last shoe to drop.
