The Triglavian Collective are a new faction introduced in the “Into the Abyss” expansion (May 2018), they can be found in a new type of space providing a unique solo PVE timed encounter and exotic new technologies, including their very own ships and new weapon system.
Triglavian Collective
Lore
The Triglavian Collective is a new faction that appeared in New Eden in early YC120. Fleets were following heavily damaged and incapacitated Drifter Fleets appeared around several locations around New Eden it was discovered that those fleets were engaged by a faction that was not known before. Data vaults salvaged from those damaged drifter fleets and Arataka Research Consortium managed to salvage data from those corrupted trinary data vaults that have video footage that shows that unknown faction, named as "Triglavian Collective" engaging Drifter Fleet with an exotic weapon system. One of their Battleship class hulls was also captured by CONCORD and further research was conducted to reveal more about those new faction. It was suggested that the Triglavian Collective is a formation of three entities. Those entities are Peruna Clade [CLPER], Svarov Clade [CLSVA] and Velesian Clade [CLVEL].

Full Introduction
While the "Into the Abyss" expansion adds a number of other changes, this new Triglavian faction is the primary focus of this page, with the related Abyssal Deadspace complexes on top.
Abyssal Deadspace
A new type of space can be accessed using filaments obtained from NPCs. Five tiers of increasing difficulty exists, with only the lower tier available for purchase via the market. Within the Abyss, filaments of increasing difficulty can be found from the "Triglavian Bioadaptive Cache" . The Abyss is limited to a single Tech I, Tech II, Navy Faction or Pirate Faction cruiser and is accessed by opening the info panel of a filament in your cargo and clicking the ‘Activate Filament’ button. Activation can be anywhere in space, likely at a minimum distance from celestial objects (TBD). A combat-probable beacon is created at your location that allows others to await your return from the deadspace. There might be increasing difficulties and/or rewards based on the space from which the filament is activated (high-sec, low-sec, null-space, or wormhole) (TBD).
An Abyssal deadspace is composed of three pockets. Each pocket must be cleared of enemies for a gate to open to the next pocket. In addition to Triglavians, you may find rogue drones under their command. Drifters (without doomsday and rarely with overshield) may appear as well, accompanied by sleeper drones, engaged in combat with the Triglavians. However. no one will help you. You must fight your way out.
Each pocket is a 75km radius sphere. Flying out of the sphere will result in incrementally increasing damage to your ship leading to its destruction. Remaining more then 20 minutes (TBD) in the space will result in your destruction: a timer is visible on the upper left of the main display, with additional warnings at the 2 minute and 30 second mark near the capacitor HUD. NPCs also will pod you. Essentially, you must clear the three pockets and exit with the allocated time, or you will lose both your ship and pod. The third pocket gate returns you to the location in space you activated the filament from.
Further site restrictions: you can not be warped to within the Abyss, nor can you warp out of it. You can not cloak nor deploy a mobile depot. There is no local. Core Probes and Combat probes launched will be removed from space shortly after launching and cannot be recovered. The Directional Scanner will not function correctly until the third pocket. The map does not work. At the present moment, if a player is in Abyssal Deadspace when server downtime occurs, the player will still return to the Abyssal system, however the complex will have de-spawned and the player will be stuck in empty void space: the only way out is to self destruct.
Five types of environmental effects exist affecting both player and NPCs. The type is identified on the info of the filament and can be countered if desired by fitting choices. The name of the filament itself gives clues as to what tier and difficulty it is. A Raging Exotic Filament meands that it is a Class 4 site with Exotic Particle Storm effect. A Fierce Dark Filament is a Class 3 site with Dark Matter Field effect. The five Abyss-wide environmental effects are outlayed according to the site tier in this table below:
| Tier | Required Filament | Filament Source | Difficulty | DMF Strength | ES Strength | EPS Strength | GRA Strength | PF Strength | Suggested Ship/Setup | Reward |
| 1 | Calm | NPC Sell Orders | Easy | —XX% ; +50% | —XX% ; +50% | —XX% ; +50% | —XX% ; +50% | —XX% ; +50% | Vexor / RLML Caracal | Decayed Mutaplasmids; BPCs; Filaments |
| 2 | Agitated | Sites | Minor | —XX% ; +50% | —XX% ; +50% | —XX% ; +50% | —XX% ; +50% | —XX% ; +50% | Vexor | unknown Mutaplasmids; BPCs; Filaments |
| 3 | Fierce | Sites | Moderate | —XX% ; +50% | —XX% ; +50% | —XX% ; +50% | —XX% ; +50% | —XX% ; +50% | Ishtar/Gila | unknown Mutaplasmids; BPCs; Filaments |

- Dark Matter Field (DMF): Ships in this environment receive a bonus to maximum velocity and a penalty to turret optimal range and falloff.
- Electrical Storm (ES): Ships in this environment receive a penalty to EM resistance and a bonus to capacitor recharge time reduction (net increase in GJ/sec).
- Exotic Particle Storm (EPS): Ships in this environment receive penalties to kinetic resistance and a bonus to scan resolution.
- Gamma-Ray Afterglow (GRA): Ships in this environment receive a bonus to shield HP and a penalty to explosive resistance.
- Plasma Firestorm (PF): Ships in this environment receive a bonus to armor HP and a penalty to thermal resistance.
In addition to the environmental effect pervading all three pockets, dangerous localized storms will exist further affecting ships and electronic systems. These are small area of affect clouds that are visible in space and provide an icon near the player's capacitor HUD with their effect.
- Filament Cloud : Penalty to Shield Booster (including Ancillary Shield Booster) capacitor usage
- Bioluminescence Cloud : 300% Signature Radius
Triglavian structures also will be present either reducing, boosting tracking or damaging drones and missiles, all within some range (TBD).
- Deviant Automata Suppressor (A Triglavian structure equipped with a light point-defense system that will target all drones and missiles within its field of fire.)
- Multibody Tracking Pylon (A large Triglavian structure that appears to be designed to support ships in close proximity by increasing their tracking capabilities.)
The wrecks may not even be objects in space (TBD). Each pocket has a gate that leads to next pocket (or exit) and Triglavian Research Facility nearby the gate. Research Facility generated reward loot box when destroyed. Rewards can include BPCs for the Triglavian ships, Mutaplasmids, Triglavian Suits, and resources needed for building the Triglavian ships.

Entropic Disintegrator
A new weapon skill and specialization will allow the use of Entropic Disintegrators coming in T1 and T2 variants, and in three sizes. The new weapon system will occupy a single slot and only one can be fitted, limited to Triglavian ships. This opens many possibilities as a large number of utility highs remain free.
The Entropic Disintegrator has unique characteristics such as increasing damage per cycle and no falloff. When a ship is out of range of the weapon, it will turn off. The weapon system uses tracking mechanics and is impacted by tracking modules. The damage type is explosive and thermal.
The optimal ranges are 6500/15500/28000 for small/medium/large variants. The rate of fire is 4s/6s/8s. The damage charge-up is 5% per cycle up to 50%. Ammo will have up to 80% extra range or down to as low as negative 50% for higher damage. Base turret damage 3/4/6 turrets equivalent.
Skills
New set of skills were introduced in order to use the new precursor ship hulls and weapons.
- Precursor Frigate (Requires Spaceship Command I)
- Precursor Cruiser (Requires Spaceship Command IV)
- Precursor Battleship (Requires Spaceship Command V)
- Small Precursor Turret (Requires Gunnery I)
- Medium Precursor Turret (Requires Small Precursor Turret III)
- Large Precursor Turret (Requires Medium Precursor Turret III)
Mutaplasmids
A new type of component can be found in the Abyssal Deadspace that can be used to mutate existing components into either improved or worse versions. Individual attributes can be randomly improved by up to 40% or reduced by 10%. The types of components that will initially be mutable are:
- Armor Repairers
- Shield Boosters
- Armor Plates
- Shield Extenders
- Warp Scramblers
- Warp Disruptors
- Stasis Webifiers
- Neutralizers
- Afterburners
- Microwarpdrives
The higher the meta of the module will produce the highest possible improvements, but be mindful that you may essentially ruin the item.
Three types of mutaplasmids:
- Decayed - Lower impact
- Gravid - Highest average result
- Unstable - Highest maximum return
