As the Drifters have been found to harvest capsuleer, Jove and sleeper corpses, one speculation is that all identically named Drifters are clones of each other. | |||
The name '''Tyrannos''' points to the long lost 2nd Jove Empire, which was erected by the so called 1st '''Tyrant''' Miko Bour and later reigned by so-called '''Tyrants''', powerful but not really tyrannical leaders. | The name '''Tyrannos''' points to the long lost 2nd Jove Empire, which was erected by the so called 1st '''Tyrant''' Miko Bour and later reigned by so-called '''Tyrants''', powerful but not really tyrannical leaders. | ||

The propulsion system is unfamiliar but tentative theories have suggested that the vessel somehow directly interacts with the fabric of space-time while moving. The standard weapon systems of this ship appear to be semi-autonomous and effective against a range of targets. | |||
DED contact briefings suggest the free floating turrets are a secondary weapon, with an extremely dangerous primary weapon held in reserve against those this ship's commander considers a significant threat. | |||

* Finally the Arithmos type has no overshield or doomsday, but has a very strong tank, neuts with an impressive 200GJ/s and is warp core stabilized with 5 points. It can only be found in C5 and C6 wormholes, where it spawns in site escalations. It holds high-value loot, but does not despawn and will roam the system until destroyed.

All five Drifter wormholes have 6 static wormhole connections to each of the C1-6 types of J-space. These wormholes are: Z647, D382, O477, Y683, N062, and R474. Unlike the Drifter wormholes, these holes are not deadspaced and function identically to similarly named wormholes in other parts of J-space. No Drifters spawn or visit these holes (The high class wormhole roaming Drifter will be able to warp to the incoming connection on the other side). | All five Drifter wormholes have 6 static wormhole connections to each of the C1-6 types of J-space.

After the npc factions took control of the Drifter's Hive systems, the sites within underwent radical changes as the Drifters took defensive measures. | |||
{{Past content|These sites were available during the Capsuleer Day 2025 event, and do not spawn anymore}} | |||
==== Labyrinth Complex ==== | |||
An ever changing maze that randomizes each time it is run. Drifters will either already be in rooms, or temporary wormholes will open spawning the drifters before they close. Materials for turning into to the various NPC factions that took control to advance the Attack on the Hive, as well as drifter based drugs. They also drop cipher's to access the Nexus Point | |||

==== Nexus Point ==== | |||
The Nexus Point can only be accessed after receiving a Cipher from Labyrinth Complex. There is a Drifter Dreadnaught to be fought here, in a single room. | |||
