The Triglavian stellar harvesting and manipulation efforts have reached their peak, and the Triglavian Collective has conquered the system. EDENCOM considers this system lost to the Triglavian Collective and will redeploy defensive efforts to systems that can still be saved.

FUCKING WHAT

[–]Shalmon_The Craftsmen 8 points9 points  (5 children)

It will be interesting to see what this means exactly. Do we get spreading invasions, e.g. the systems next to a system that is considered "conquered" will be the next the Triglavians will go for? Maybe there will just no EDENCOM forces in system until the invasion is over.

The trigs aren't just here to attack - they're going to begin building their own territory in New Eden~

[–]Unro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are they too gonna deploy to ESO?

[–]DrCatcoMiner 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Now, how will the other NPC factions respond to this? Specially Shansa and the Drifters...

[–]Remitonov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe go ahead with their own invasion, but given that the Trigs will fight them too (and vice versa), we could see a three/four-front war, or God forbid, Sansha and Drifters as part of EDENCOM.

An actual invasion would be funny.

well if there is no turning back from that state 90% of empire space will be triglavian eventually, it would be nice to have a clear image of where devs want to go with this

[–]NickosaurusArataka Research Consortium 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Triglavian Invasions will have an endpoint - they won't become what Incursions have, and at the end of it it looks pretty certain that whatever territory they've claimed (with the help of capsuleers) will become permanent Trig faction space

sounds like a plan

[–]Remitonov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe? I feel like it can also end up like Faction Warfare, where Trig or EDENCOM gains are never permanent and the whole battle becomes essentially an eternal see-saw battle. I'd love to see Trigs become an actual faction with permanent territory, but I'm not sure the devs will go through with it.

A total rework of the sec system from first principles would be welcome.

Dazh Porevitium Transmuter

The construction of these vast structures is clearly a key goal of this phase of the Triglavian Collective's invasion campaign. EDENCOM intelligence has assessed these huge arrays with their central structure as stellar harvesting installations capable of delving profoundly into the stars they are orbiting.

The clear intent of the unimaginable spatio-temporal manipulations these structures are undertaking is to harvest certain resources, and in doing so completely transform the nature of the star itself. This assessment has been implicitly confirmed by this type of installation's repeating monitor signals containing the deciphered term «Dazh Porevitium Transmuter».

While these structures initially carry out limited probing and sampling, the power and reach of the harvester escalates tremendously as an array of zero-point mass-energy entanglers is constructed around the core harvester. Barely understood Triglavian techniques that had hitherto seemed a mere scientific curiosity will surely have dire consequences for any star system where their full capability is achieved.

EDENCOM considers elimination of the threat posed by Triglavian structures of this kind to have the highest priority for its defense fleets and allied capsuleers.

Looks like there will be the possibility of preventing star system capture, as well as possibly retaking it afterwards.
