=== Crisis: Deathless Research Outpost ===

* '''Objective:''' A Deathless research base is under Drifter attack. Capsuleers can defend the structure with remote repair modules or destroy it for Hyperspace Telemetry ~~dat~~

* '''Objective:''' A Deathless research base is under Drifter attack. Capsuleers can defend the structure with remote repair modules or destroy it for Hyperspace Telemetry data.

* '''Recommended Fleet:''' 5 capsuleers (for defense).

* '''Ship Restrictions:''' T1 frigates, destroyers, and standard T1 cruisers.

* '''Notes:''' Logistics ships play a key role in defense; destruction provides alternative loot opportunities.

=== Crisis: Lancer Counter Offensive ===

* '''Objective:''' A drifter-controlled Destructive Scrutinizer is attacking civilians. Boost an allied Lancer's capacitor within 10 minutes to help take it down in time.

* '''Recommended Fleet:''' 4-5 capsuleers.

* '''Ship Restrictions:''' T1 frigates, destroyers, and standard T1 cruisers.

* '''Notes:''' Logistics ships play a key role in the destruction of the structure by providing remote capacitor to the Lancer Dreadnought. Capacitor transfer is unavailable during the 1-minute siege mode.

== Crisis Resolution Operation ==

Once enough Crisis Sites are completed, the system-wide '''Crisis Resolution Operation''' becomes available. This high-difficulty site represents the final phase of the Drifter conflict in affected regions.

* '''Location:''' Unsecured Drifter Facility (escalation site)

* '''Objective:''' Assault a heavily fortified Drifter stronghold, disable defense grids, and secure a core data fragment.

* '''Recommended Fleet:''' 10+ capsuleers (including logistics and EWAR support)

* '''Ship Restrictions:''' T1 and T2 battleships, command ships, and logistics cruisers.

* '''Mechanics:'''

** Drifter AI adapts to incoming threats, requiring fleet coordination.

** Disabling core nodes weakens Drifter responses.

** Final boss: A Drifter battleship with a **doomsday-class weapon** that must be disrupted.

The completion of this operation grants access to exclusive loot, including experimental Drifter components.

== Rewards ==

Loot from Crisis Sites includes salvage, blueprint copies, and novel Drifter-related materials. Some items appear to be components of a larger, undisclosed Drifter technology.
