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. | ||

Encounters with these ships have revealed several unique mechanics related to them alone. One such mechanic is that of an "overshield" - an additional layer of shielding colored blue on the targeting display. When this blue shield has been depleted, target locks on the Drifter break, in the manner of ECM. Many have also reported that the Drifters' weapons deal massive amounts of damage, difficult for any sub-capital ship to tank without a specialized fit. Even capital ships are not immune, with many carriers being lost to Drifters, many by players attempting to test their capabilities. Drifters drop blue loot and Antikythera Elements. | Encounters with these ships have revealed several unique mechanics related to them alone.

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. | ||

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. | ||
** 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. | |||
