| All five Drifter wormholes have 6 static wormhole connections to each of the C1-6 types of J-space. These wormholes are: Z647, D382, O477, Y683, N062, and R474. Unlike the Drifter wormholes, these holes are not deadspaced and function identically to similarly named wormholes in other parts of J-space. No Drifters spawn or visit these holes (The high class wormhole roaming Drifter will be able to warp to the incoming connection on the other side). | | All five Drifter wormholes have 6 static wormhole connections to each of the C1-6 types of J-space.

| === Combat Anomalies ===
| |
| Each Drifter wormhole contains five unique combat anomalies. They are visited and defended by regular Drifter patrols. More detailed information is available via [https://eve-files.com/media/1508/IKAME-Drifter-Hive-System-Anomalies.pdf Drifter Hive Systems Anomalies (pdf)]. All listed wormholes are of the violent type and not passable.

| === Hive Sites ===
| |
| [[File:hive.jpg|thumb|Drifter Hive and support installations close to a shattered planet in a Redoubt wormhole.]]
| |
|
| |
|
| All Drifter wormholes contain a huge Drifter Hive protected by a sequence of deadspace pockets and connected via acceleration gates and warpable Rifts. The layout of these sites is slightly different in each of the 5 different Drifter wormholes, but the main rooms are the same. The entrance appears as a beacon on the overview under the name of the site, e.g. "Conflux".
| | === Combat Anomalies === |
| | | ''For the old combat anomalies, before the Drifter Crisis, see [[Original Drifter Combat Anomalies]]'' |
| [[File:drifter-nexus-s.jpg|thumb|540px|Drifter Nexus: hundreds of huge bars with sparks flying between them. Their configuration has changed from a "sea urchin" to an S-shape since their first appearance months ago. An enormous semi-transparent blue sphere encompasses them all.]] | |
| | |
| # Entrance: Contains warp-in beacon. Warp at range is possible. The beacon is 50-80km from the acceleration gate.
| |
| # Lobby or Split: Contains two acceleration gates plus a warpable rift that leads back to the Entrance. Is protected by 5 Emergent Patrollers (sleepers). The acceleration gates lead to a number of Transfer and Access rooms whose layout depends on the specific system.
| |
| # Antechamber or Antichamber: Contains the gate to the final room, the Hive. Protected by various sleeper ships up to battleship size and webbing sleeper frigates.
| |
| # Hive: Contains the main hive structure. Protected by Hikanta Tyrannos (at 250-400km and aggros on warp in, moves at ~2km/s) plus sleepers up to battleship size. Contains Vault (access with index in hold to get 10 elements). Nexus Transfer gate leads to Nexus room.
| |
| # Nexus: A giant cluster made up of hundreds of "bars" engulfed by a huge blue sphere. The shape of the bar cluster is changing over time. It started spherical like a sea urchin and currently has an s-shape.
| |
| | |
| Additionally there are rooms that depend on the specific site:
| |
| * Access Alpha etc: Contains access units - hackable by data analyzer - named according to the gate: Alpha, Beta, etc; up to Gamma depending on specific system. Protected by sleepers.
| |
| * Transfer Alpha etc: Contains no specific installations. Protected by sleepers.
| |
| | |
| A detailed [https://eve-files.com/media/1507/Report-Drifter-Site-Overview.pdf Drifter Site Overview (pdf)]
| |
| lists the rooms in their original state. Since then the parallel hacking that was required has been dropped.

| | |
| == Drifter Incursions ==
| |
| For a while there were also Drifter Incursions into high sec systems.
| |
| Multiple Drifter battleships decimated Amarr navy task forces and some capsuleers engaged the Drifters as well.
