It was a continuation of [[Triglavian Invasion (Chapter 1 & 2)|chapter 1 & 2]] of the Triglavian Invasion, and expanded upon and behaved differently. | ||
Triglavian Invasions were originally introduced as a new type of PvE content in the Invasion update in May 2019. The new content saw the [[Triglavian Collective]] taking over constellations of known space, and sending out patrols in these systems that attacked capsuleers, with the four empires and [[CONCORD]] unifying their defense initiative under the newly formed [[EDENCOM]]. The third chapter came out in May 2020, one year after chapter 1 began. | Triglavian Invasions were originally introduced as a new type of PvE content in the Invasion update in May 2019.

Station services and gate traversal require various levels of standing with the Triglavians, rewarding those who helped push the systems into their control.
