Triglavian Collective: Difference between revisions

{{Triglavian links}}

The '''Triglavian Collective''' are a faction introduced in the [[Expansions#Into The Abyss|“Into the Abyss”]] expansion (May 2018). They can be found in a new type of space providing a unique solo PVE timed encounters in a special area of space and exotic new technologies, including their very own ships and new weapon system. Further expansions have seen the Collective wage [[Triglavian Invasion|an invasion]] on New Eden, and seen their technology applied to specialized filaments and mutated [[Abyssal modules|abyssal modules]].  

The '''Triglavian Collective''' is a new faction that appeared in New Eden in early YC120. Fleets were following heavily damaged and incapacitated Drifter Fleets appeared around several locations around New Eden it was discovered that those fleets were engaged by a faction that was not known before. Data vaults salvaged from those damaged drifter fleets and Arataka Research Consortium managed to salvage data from those corrupted trinary data vaults that have video footage that shows that unknown faction, named as "Triglavian Collective" engaging Drifter Fleet with an exotic weapon system. One of their Battleship class hulls was also captured by CONCORD and further research was conducted to reveal more about those new faction. It was suggested that the Triglavian Collective is a formation of three entities. Those entities are Perun Clade [CLPER] ({{triglavian|PERUN}}), Veles Clade [CLVEL] ({{triglavian|VELES}}), and Svarog Clade [CLSVA] ({{triglavian|SVAROG}}). The three together are represented by the The Convocation of Triglav, which acts as the liason between the Collective and the outside world.

 

== Triglavian Invasion ==

 

The Triglavian Invasion of empire space has been underway since May 2019. The invasion so far consisted of three chapters, with the current third one being described as the finale.

 

Initially, in Chapters 1 & 2, the invasions took a similar structure to Sansha [[Incursions]], with a foothold system in high or low (in Chapter 2) security space declared and all systems within two jumps invaded for a limited time, special combat sites consisting of waves of Triglavian rats that awarded ISK and LP (DED) to participants upon completion, and systemwide effects that intensified the closer a system was to the foothold. They varied in many ways from Incursions though, even at this point. Triglavians established gatecamps and roaming fleets, even in high security space, and roaming fleets could invade capsuleer fleets in the Invasion sites. Further, unlike Incursions, where most of the value is in direct ISK payouts, value from Invasion sites are split between direct ISK payments and loot/salvage drops from the rats. Chapter 2 saw the introduction of the Operation Flashpoint site, which allowed capsuleers to aid either the local empire or the Collective.

 

Chapter 3 saw a major departure from previous chapters, with the Collective now vying for direct control of systems from the empires, which in response saw the formation of [[EDENCOM]]. While the same general combat sites remained, they were revamped, and Invasions took place in single systems rather than a foothold system + two jumps. Capsuleers could choose to either support the Triglavian Collective or EDENCOM, and their influence through fighting the other side could determine whether a system was permanently secured from the Invasion, or if the Collective took full control of the system, seeing [[CONCORD]] abandon the system and the system's security effectively reduced to null. The Triglavians have been mutating blue and bright yellow stars in systems under their full control for yet unknown ends.

The result of the third invasion chapter was the forming of [[Pochven]] region. A separate detached region controlled by the Triglavian Collective. Systems that are close to the previous locations of the systems which Triglavians conquered can spawn wormhole connections to Pochven. Systems with connection to Pochven have roaming Triglavian rats which are aggressive to all players who do not have positive Triglavian standings.

The randomly appearing wormholes can turn normally safe system into dangerous territory where strong NPC rats appear without any warning and kill players. To avoid the frustation of this game mechanic it is strongly recommended to get positive standings with with Triglavians. How to do this is described in guide: [[Getting positive Triglavian and EDENCOM standings]].

== Abyssal Proving Grounds ==

Starting in May 2020, the Triglavian Collective have disseminated a special form of filaments dedicated exclusively to PvP proving grounds. The area, which was previously exclusive to Cruisers in Abyssal Deadspace, and requires the completion of the PvE components of Abyssal Deadspace (>T3) pockets to have the chance of entering, is now open to other ship classes, and without the PvE requirement. The proving grounds have taken the form of limited time events, with the top 100 players with the most wins in each getting a set of rewards, including ISK, SP, filaments for future proving grounds events, and exclusive SKINs.

At least nine events will take place<ref name="apg devblog">https://www.eveonline.com/article/qdkvcx/champions-of-the-abyss</ref>. The formats that have taken place and been announced so far are<ref name="apg devblog" /><ref>https://www.eveonline.com/article/qepgs3/upcoming-abyssal-proving-grounds-events</ref>:

== Ships ==

Ships from the Triglavian Collective are called 'precursor' ships. The ships are centred around their single [[Entropic Disintegrators|Entropic Disintegrator]] turret, a weapon dealing Thermal and Explosive damage, increasing in power the longer it stays active on a single target, but limited by a fixed maximum range and no falloff. To accompany their single gun, Triglavian ships come with bonuses to Energy Neutralizers, Remote Armor Repairers, and Smartbombs, giving their ships surprising amounts of support and utility potential. The ships favour armor tank through their slot layout and base buffer amount. Further, Triglavian ships are unusually low-mass.

Each T2 hull was created by one of the four empires integrating their own technology with Triglavian designs; the Nergal was made by the Gallente, the Draugur by the Minmatar, the Ikitursa by the Caldari, and the Zarmazd by the Amarr. The special-edition Hydra and Tiamat were both designed by the Society of Conscious Thought.

There are no blueprint originals for Triglavian items, nor are there Loyalty Point stores that sell them. In stead, blueprint copies for Tech I ships, weapons, and munitions must be acquired in [[Abyssal Deadspace]]. The special materials required to build them (Zero-Point Condensate and Crystallized Isogen-10) are also found in Abyssal Deadspace. Blueprint copies for Tech II ships, weapons, and munitions must be [[Invention|invented]]. Materials to construct Tech 2 Precursor ships can be acquired by salvaging precursor ships destroyed during [[Invasion]]s. Blueprint copies, materials, and skillbooks to build and fly the Zirnitra can be found in Observatory Flashpoint sites during Invasions.

[[Alliance Tournament]] XVI, to date the most recent CCP-organized Alliance Tournament, featured special edition Triglavian ships as rewards, augmented by the tournament's sponsor, the [[Society of Conscious Thought]].
