== Drifter Wormhole Systems ==
== Drifters in Known Space ==
There are 5 known Drifter wormhole systems that are similar to shattered C2 wormholes with certain system effects. Although they are named by the typical J-type designations, they are often informally named after their predominant structure:  
Circadian Seekers seem to roam all k-space systems and are scanning all ships and stationary objects.
In a large number of k-space systems huge Jove Observatories can be found. They are visible on the Overview as a beacon.
These Observatories seem to have fallen into disrepair. k-space entries to Drifters wormhole systems seem to only appear in systems with a Jove Observatory. These systems are also roamed by Apollo Tyrannos and Artemis Tyrannos battleships. The battleships and seekers seem to roam the system and guard the Jove Observatories and the Unidentified Wormhole sites.

Vidette, Redoubt, Sentinel, Barbican and Conflux. Note that the first four names suggest an advanced military fortification.

All Drifter wormhole systems seem to have 20 connections to known space (k-space) plus a C2-C2 static. K-space connections always appear in system with a Jove Observatory. Their k-space connections are quite different from all other wormholes however:

=== 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 [http://go-dl.eve-files.com/media/1508/IKAME-Drifter-Hive-System-Anomalies.pdf Drifter Hive Systems Anomalies (pdf)].

=== Hive Sites ===


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.

Drifter wormhole sites are typically run with medium sized fleets (20-30 ships, dps and logi).
