Triglavian Invasion (Chapter 1 & 2)
Reason: New content with insufficient information
"A Triglavian Invasion is underway in your vicinity! Join the fight and help drive the invaders out, or relocate immediately if you are unprepared for battle. Any technology or equipment left by the invaders will be yours to loot."
Triglavian Invasions are a new type of PvE content introduced with the Invasion update in May 2019. The new content sees the Triglavian Collective taking over constellations of known space, and sending out patrols in these systems that will attack capsuleers. Attention: It is not even safe to warp from gate to gate - there may be a very strong fleet camping at a gate and destroy your ship.
Encounters
The systems under Triglavian invasion will have wandering fleets of Triglavian ships. These fleets will attack player owned Upwell structures and hang around celestial objects or in deep space.
The fleets can call for reinforcements during fights. Fleet size and composition depends on the system status.
Triglavians that are on a warpable celestial can be located by a skilled d-scanner. But for serious Triglavian hunting you will want a dedicated combat prober.
Enemy types
Each triglavian ship type comes in multiple variants:
Note: ALL variants can Remote Repair
- Blinding - Sensor dampening
- Liminal - Higher damage
- Ghosting - Tracking/guidance disruption
- Harrowing - Target painting
- Renewing - Stronger remote repairers
- Tangling - Stasis webifying
- Anchoring - Warp scrambling
- Starving - Energy neutralizing
- Zorya's - Energy Neutralization, Warp Scrambling, has a chance of dropping Damage Control and Assault Damage Control Mutaplasmids as well as other triglavian based loot.
Invasion sites
The invaded constellation will also spawn Conduit sites. These will appear as combat anomalies in the probe window. Once a ship initiates warp to a site, the site will also appear as a beacon on the overview. When completed, the site will not disappear from the probe scanner, but the beacon will be renamed to "Sealed [site name]".
These sites will reward DED Loyalty Points and ISK, and the destroyed Triglavians can be looted and salvaged.
Prior to the November 26, 2019 update, there was a third type of site, the World Arc Proving Ground. On November 26, 2019, the World Arc site was removed, and replaced with the Observatory Flashpoint site.
Minor conduit
- Payout: 1k DED LP + 15 mil ISK per pilot, with a max of 45 mil ISK. Reduced payout (per pilot) with more than 3 pilots.
- 3x waves of mostly frigates/destroyers/cruisers (10-15 rats of various types, requires further verification)
- Frigates/destroyers orbit at 3-8km. Cruisers/battlecruisers orbit at 12-20km.
- DPS output is rather high, recommended 2+ T2 logistics cruisers
- Properly fit Marauders can tank these sites without the need for remote logistics assistance.
- Chance of Zorya's Damavik (warp scrambles) spawning on 1st or 2nd Wave
- Chance of Zorya's Drekavac spawning on 2nd Wave
- Chance of Zorya's Leshak (Neut) spawning on 3rd Wave
- While not required Command Bursts will make running the site much safer.
Major Conduit
- Payout: 2k DED LP + 20 mil ISK, with a max of 160 mil ISK. Reduced payout (per pilot) with more than 8 pilots.
- 5-6x waves. Early waves are mostly frigates/destroyers, and scale up to include cruisers, Drekavacs, and Leshaks. Wave triggers are unpredictable, and commonly 2 waves spawn together.
- Rats will starburst out to ~400km after spawning before warping back on top of pilot that has aggro and engaging at close range. Warp-in landing spots are random but within the ships' weapon range.
- Multiple Leshaks may spawn of different varieties. Leshaks orbit their target at 40-45km.
- DPS output is rather high, recommend 3+ T2 logistics cruisers.
- While not required Command Bursts on a properly bonused hull will make running the site much safer.
Observatory Flashpoint
- Reduced payout with more than 10 pilots
- Payout 4k+ LP, 50+ mil ISK (when running with 15/16 pilots)
- Does not End the invasion. Site respawns 90 minutes after the final structure is destroyed
- Site begins with two acceleration gates, choosing to either attack the Triglavians, or to attack the empire whose territory is under attack. Once one side is chosen, the site is locked in to that path and one gate is destroyed.
- After taking the gate, there will be a large (invulnerable) structure, and waves of either Triglavian or Empire ships will spawn. After killing the first wave, a single Dreadnought will warp in to the site.
- Damage and EWAR will be very, very heavy in this site. Multiple logistics cruisers or battleships and full defensive and Skirmish Command Bursts are extremely recommended.
- Dreadnought will not change targets once it chooses one. Dreadnoughts deal less than HAW damage, but have extremely high tracking (other than the Caldari Phoenix, which uses Rapid Torpedoes). Dreadnoughts will periodically enter Siege for 5 minutes of quad damage. All Empire ships (including dreads) have T2 Resists (+50%/+25%).
- Large structure becomes vulnerable upon dreadnought death. When structure becomes vulnerable, two 'Overcharge' pylons will appear 30km away from the structure. These pylons project 5km fields which give +100% outgoing weapons damage.
- Destroying the structure ends the site, triggers payout, and causes all remaining enemies to warp out.
- Dreadnought and Structure wrecks project 100km-radius Warp Disruption fields, disallowing all attempts to warp off grid prior to the wrecks being salvaged.
- Dreadnought and Structure wrecks can contain skillbooks, blueprints, and components for the Zirnitra, and can contain Zorya's officer modules. Blueprints drop from attacking empire dreads. Components drop from attacking Zirnitras.
System effects
| Effect | Perimeter | Adjacent | Foothold |
