Intergalactic Summit

That's some epic derailment there folks, from Drifters attacking Safizon to the nature of W-space. And do I see that beloved conspiracy place 'Earth' being thrown in? Darn. What's next? Terrans coming to get us?

On a more serious note, it might be best to take the discussion to a separate thread. Note, Arek'Jaalan is doing their best, in cooperation with capsuleer scientists & explorers to find out more about the deeper layers of wormhole systems & what they hold. especially the ones recently uncovered that hold those Drifter structures...
It could be good to co-ordinate your actions with the Arek'Jaalan science community.

The derailment was unintentional, I am sorry. Years of exploration and operating as a lone ship gives a person far too much time to think. I was giving a very wide focus as to the Why part of the attack. There is concern of further attacks but we really neex to know why. What is in and around there that we can quantify? Why would drifter be interested? Are there other systems that need to be on guard?

If it is some other tech, are other empires at risk? I mean for all we know it truly could be a feint. I cannot think what anybody has worth such a feint. Also since has been quiet since initial attack leans away from this as well.

There are three potential focuses for the Vigilant Tyrannos in Safizon.

1) The Amarr Navy headquarters. With the apparent ability to disregard borders at will, the Drifters may simply be attacking the highest-value fixed asset they're aware of. This might be used as a focal point to draw out and deplete the Throne Worlds fleet, as to this point the Drifters appear to not be directly attacking the military station in the system. I would be very curious as to how depleted the Throne Worlds fleet is after multiple pitched battles in Safizon, but of course assume that this information is confidential.

2) The TES Auctoritas. As a flagship and a purportedly advanced piece of technology, this may also be an interest to the Drifters. At the same time, the ship was relocated to Ebidan before the latest attack for flight trials.

3) Something, if anything, that was recovered by the TES Righteous Cross during its shakedown cruise in the EVE constellation could be of interest to the Drifters. This is clearly the most speculative.

Given that the Vigilant Tyrannos began patrolling the Empire's space aggressively after the distribution of Entosis Link technology by Carthum, a technology which uses Jove mind-machine interface equipment, engaged pilots with a fitted Entosis Link, and aggressively engage any pilot in the area of a Jove Observatory, I suspect that what can most effectively hold the Drifters' attention is Jove technology. This makes me want to favor option three, but it's also the one with the least directly-supporting evidence.

Hm! Point. I'd forgotten that one. And it does predate the first Vigilant Tyrannos raid on Safizon. Interesting. Admittedly, I'm not sure I give much credence the conspiracies warrant.
