Though these sorts of petitions are rarely fruitful, I must agree.

Since the start of these events, close to a year-and-a-half ago, the only things we have learned of the Vigilant Tyrannos forces and their objectives have been what we ourselves have discovered or hypothesized (exempting the titles of the Drifters and the SCOPE's courageous release of Hilen Tukoss's broadcast).

This strange force has:
  • Entered known-space suddenly and with no fanfare or opposition
  • Is constantly linking to and analyzing systems of the cluster unobstructed
  • Is literally dismantling what have been revealed as Directorate Observatory Posts, advanced Jove technology (though their advancement compared to the Sleepers and Drifters is questionable), for an unknown purpose
  • Have seemingly encroached on gargantuan Sleeper complexes in Anoikis
  • Destroyed Doctor Tukoss in the Hive room of the "Redoubt" complex (and though he certainly died, his current state is questionable)
  • Killed Empress Jamyl in a violent headshot attack in Safizon
  • Have begun their own incursions into known space


  • And yet, we have had nothing but silence. Mind, I am not denouncing CONCORD. Their organization is necessary in order to keep things in check in Empire space (as we all know, or may be, pilots who do not abide by "the rules"), but their absolute silence on the Drifters is more than distressing: it's dangerous. Without knowing what we are facing, how will we deal with situations to come? If the Drifters are as much a threat as they seem, then we must learn all we can of them. As someone who remains deeply invested in uncovering the mysteries of the Drifters, a group which seems to be the culmination of all of the mysteries and possibilities surrounding the Jove and Sleepers, Anoikis, and possibly the cluster's past as a whole, I agree with the message of this petition.

    There are fewer things scarier than watching one of the largest ships in all of new Eden get volleyed off the field by what was, at the time, and still is, an unknown force of ships.

    Yet that is what many of us, as Amarrians, and as capsuleers, witnessed at Safizon with the destruction of the Former Empress's Avatar class titan.

    As a member of several of Consortium's operations into the Drifter Sanctuaries i can say without any doubt that we are dealing with a entity of immense power, not only in their ability to destroy practically any ship in New Eden with a single blow, but in their ability to build and seemingly maintain vast structures of what is currently unknown purpose.

    To maintain an information blackout on the topic of this threat is an insult, not only to the Amarr empire, who are dealing with brunt of the issue at hand, but to the cluster in general! What happens if the drifters decide they want to head into other empire space, what then? As of this moment the collective "we" of both the consortium and other involved parties are working with nothing more than bare bones information scraped together by observation and testing. We need the support of concord, if not in ships and materials, then at least in sharing information so we're all on the same page, because at the end of the day it will most likely be capsuleers who will be fighting on the front lines of this fight, we will be the ones who face this threat.

    Then again it may be that Concord and the DED have no new or relevant information, simply because they would rather ignore the issue at hand rather than even attempt deal with such a powerful enemy.

    Signed, both as an insulted Amarrian, and a capsuleer who would rather lose a hundred ships than see the drifters take even one system in the New Eden cluster.

    Having participated in some of IKAMEs "Hive" operations, and several months of communicating through back-channels, I gladly voice my opinion on this, and urge the DED to give a response given the devastation that has swpt through the Amarrian armed forces as a result of this force.

    Saisieni Mrs. Makoto Prian,

    While I do not believe that we, Capsuleers, have any right to ask of anything from CONCORD or any of the Empires, seeing as we are nothing but tools and weapons of the Empires, at least, that was our intended role, I do beleive that we might be the only thing that can combat the Drifters, seeings as Mankind must constantly wage war over some pointless issue, and because of this I lend you my support, perhaps if CONCORD would allow us access to that information, we could mount more effective counter attacks, maybe even use that information to try and see if there is a pattern to their attacks that we missed, any information would help us, though I believe it may take a while for CONCORD to see that we are more of an asset then a liability when faced by these kind of threats, so let us hope that they consider this petition, and thank you for being among the first to bring this to light. Consider this my signature.

    By His divine light, freedom shall prevail.

    Its human nature to hold onto serets... Just remember, when the attacks begin, and you are almost out of the fight, that is the wrong time to start begging for help.

    In the first place, pilots, let me thank you all for your interest and support so far! I dare say that this is a subject of unanimous or near-unanimous agreement, and I'm pleased to see it.

    Let me also make a few comments.

    Mr. Pawlicki, as always, thanks for flying with us! A small formality; while IKAME is one of the founding members of the Arataka Research Consortium, it operates alongside pilots from a large number of other corporations. In our leadership group we have pilots from Phoenix Naval Systems and Tyrathlion Interstellar, hence the initial signers for this petition; we've also appreciated considerable support from other noted exploration groups, such as Signal Cartel. Long and short, it would be better to say the Consortium's Hive raids, or Arataka's Hive raids. And again, thank you for flying with us!

    To a number of pilots, on CONCORD's tendency to secrecy; while I understand and appreciate your statements, I can also understand that CONCORD and the DED often have reasons for maintaining silence on matters. With this petition, though, I'd contend that silence does the cluster more harm than good, and should thus be dispensed with. Let us not badger them, in the hope that Director Vesren and her compatriots will understand that we petition them in a spirit of good will and a desire to come to a more productive understanding.

    We wish to do good. We hope that CONCORD will help us in this.

    It has been quit some time since we heard anything about the Drifters from CONCORD. They've had months to perform analyses and evaluations. I think a progress report is about due.

    As a Capsuleer fond of flying with both Phoenix Naval Systems pilots regularly and IKAME on their Drifter Hive penetration operations, I can do nothing other than recommend wholeheartedly that CONCORD release more information regarding their findings on the Drifter threat as soon as possible. With Drifter Hive exploration, Frostline assaults, and the beginnings of construction on Astrahus-class citadels, I can only say that the past few months for all those wanting to support IKAME have been nothing but non-stop work.

    I can only assume that CONCORD assembly has put eyes upon the Drifter Elements and Indexes that have come out of the Hives, seeing that so many of them have started to circulate among New Eden as a result of brave Capsuleer groups taking the fight to the Drifters themselves.

    I believe that CONCORD may be underestimating capsuleers and their crews that do this on a regular basis -- we still do not know the final fate of the late Dr. Hilen Tukoss, but we also do not know if what happened to him may happen to any of us that recieve a swift and explosive fate by Apollo, Artemis, or Hikanta while trawling through the Hives. It is for the greater good that any and all information that has been collected since the Drifters have started becoming more bold in their ventures to launch incursions into Ammarian space be shared with the populace of New Eden.

    Signed.
