** Ladon, Mynos and Strategos are now found in those systems, with Ladon and Mynos flying battleships and Strategos flying a Dreadnought. They all feature overshields and doomsday weapons, though Ladon has web and no warp disruption, Mynos has no web but will warp scramble at 11km (shuts down MWDs/MJDs), and Strategos has neither web nor warp disruption. | ** Ladon, Mynos and Strategos are now found in those systems, with Ladon and Mynos flying battleships and Strategos flying a Dreadnought.

* 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 3 points. It can only be found in C5 and C6 wormholes, where it spawns in site escalations, provided a capital is on grid. It holds high-value loot, but does not despawn and will roam the system until destroyed. Spawning multiple Arithmos in a system affords interesting challenges and opportunities. | * 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 3 points.

** If no capital is on grid when a C5/6 site escalation is triggered, Hyleus Tyrannos appears instead in a '''Drifter Recon Battleship'''. It has similar behavior to the Arithmos and identical EWAR capabilities but is weaker in tank and DPS and gives (relatively) lower value loot. | ** If no capital is on grid when a C5/6 site escalation is triggered, Hyleus Tyrannos appears instead in a '''Drifter Recon Battleship'''.

K-Space Drifter battleships can reach up to 3500m/s and do about 1300dps of omni damage with their standard Lux Kontos suspended weapon system. Their additional doomsday-like weapon that does about 750,000 damage. | K-Space Drifter battleships can reach up to 3500m/s and do about 1300dps of omni damage with their standard Lux Kontos suspended weapon system.

Arithmos Tyrannos<ref>EVE forum post from CCP Fozzie, [https://forums-archive.eveonline.com/topic/476010 announcing Arithmos Tyrannos]</ref>, also known as the Drifter Response Battleship, spawns at end of sleeper site escalations in C5 and C6 wormholes. He needs to be pointed (with at least 4 points of scramble strength) to keep him from warping away and his ship contains most of the value of the escalation. Arithmos Tyrannos does '''not''' use a doomsday weapon but has a lot of HP and heavy energy neutralizing. In the past, Arithmos Tyrannos was commonly killed by luring him into attacking an anti-capital fit Astrahus, however as of early 2020 this strategy is no longer viable as his targeting priorities were updated. However, his extremely large signature radius leaves him vulnerable to other anti-capital weaponry. | Arithmos Tyrannos<ref>EVE forum post from CCP Fozzie, [https://forums-archive.eveonline.com/topic/476010 announcing Arithmos Tyrannos]</ref>, also known as the Drifter Response Battleship, spawns at end of sleeper site escalations in C5 and C6 wormholes.

Failure to have a capital on site results in a Drifter Recon Battleship spawn, piloted by Hyleus Tyrannos and is mostly identical in behavior to the Drifter Response Battleship, with smaller stats and a smaller payout and lower neuting power (100GJ/sec). | ||
