This in-game event runs untildowntime on May 15th, 2025. | |||
The Drifter Crisis is entering its final stages. In the aftermath of theRace for the Hives- where five factions secured control of Drifter wormholes - those same factions now call on capsuleers to help push their advantage against the Drifter threat. | |||
This event features high-end fleet encounters within the now-occupied Drifter wormholes, alongside a variety of content outside them. Players can expect challenging group content designed for coordinated fleets as well as more accessible activities in line with the seasonal content capsuleers are familiar with. | |||

Up to and includingT2 Battlecruisersare permitted within.}} | |||
* {{PatchNoteStatus|tbd|The Reckoning: Nexus Pointis the true test for those who wish to organise against the Drifter forces.
