Just stumbled across one of these structures in Uchomida, Black Rise. I also encountered three Circadian Seekers on the gate to Samanuni. On of them scanned me before the group warped off. Location recorded in database.
EDIT: Found another one in Onnamon, Black Rise. Circadian seekers have scanned the structure and are just standing by. Give it a wide berth...just in case. |

These Circadian Sleepers seem to have a very simple program - scan anything in range. They have scanned the warp-in beacon of the unidentified structure, my ship, my Sister probes, trade ships at a station, asteroids and various cargo cans I dropped with different items. Nothing triggered any reaction. So far.

Just relogged after the emergency downtime. As soon as I undocked from a station in Hi-Sec I encountered some sleepers drones, only few km away. After few minutes they left. The system was Yuhelia in Domain region. |

You know. I've seen a lot of sleepers and a lot of sites. And one thing I can't help but realize, is the possibility that these cloaked structures were around the entire time. And these unarmed sleepers are here to do something about them, fix them or whatever, and are as geared for combat as a repair drone.
From our perspective these structures just appeared, but like that strange star, the light of which defies physics, what "appears" is not necessarily obedient to the concept of "where" and for how long.
If this is a network, then there is a pattern.

I saw one of the structures in Lasleinur earlier today. At first I thought I still had a bit of Drop in my system, but it was an actual thing, it was really there. I reported it as requested.
No sign of any Sleeper activity in the system, though.

At this point it might be sensible to assume that there may be one in every system, as a worst case.
"You let one of them go, but that's nothing new is it? Every now and then a little victim is allowed to escape; because she smiled, because he's got freckles, because they begged. And that's how you live with yourself. That's how you slaughter millions."

Someone or something reactivated or repaired the cloaking mechanism. At least I hope so, otherwise it warped or jumped out of the system. A cloaked ship of unknown origin that huge and capable of jumping... I don't want to think about it! But who reactivated or repaired the cloaking mechanism? Are those roaming Sleepers scanning - or reparing?

I was in Stoure in the Solitude region on business, and as I approached the Stoure IX - Moon 1 - Poteque Pharmaceuticals Biotech Research Center station I witnessed something rather disturbing - the Sleeper drones had come right up to the station and were doing... scanning? Well, whatever it is that these Circadians do to things. There were both CONCORD and local Federal police units orbiting the station as well, but they didn't seem to know quite how to deal with the situation. The station's harbour control was functioning as normal, trade ships were arriving and leaving as normal and nothing seemed to be wrong. But the Sleepers were still scanning the station when I left.

This is not the first time i've heard of these appearing and then disappearing. Perhaps it would be of greater value to not just log their current location, but time of initial report as well. There may be a pattern we aren't seeing yet.
If the cloaking devices are malfunctioning, then perhaps the Circadian Sleepers are repair drones of some kind. If the cloaked object remains unrepaired long enough, its possible it may decloak completely.
Or, perhaps it is mobile after all and it will disappear anyway after its task is completed.
In any case, knowing when these sites appear and disappear should prove useful data.

Just an update from today. The structure in Uchomida is still there. I spent several minutes observing Circadian sleepers scanning the beacon before warping off. Additionally, there was a wormhole that formed 1 AU from the structure. I'm not sure if it bears any relevance to the phenomenon though. |

I'll put aside my regular trash talk in light of something I've just learned. How many days have you watched it?
I ask because Scope Works has received reports of these structures appearing and disappearing within a few days. Max range of movement was two systems. As of yet they have not appeared in the same system twice. Note this is NOT for every structure, but a few have been confirmed to move. Specifically, the one in question moved from Hjoramold to Nakugard.
If they ALL do this, we may want to look at two things.
- Pattern of motion relative to the cluster. Might they be moving toward a central point?
- Movement toward suspect celestial bodies discussed elsewhere, namely A0 Type stars
If EITHER of these are the case, we have a lot bigger things to worry about than the next Presidential election or some silly Empire proxy war.
If these things do show one of the above patterns, perhaps the Circadian variants should be immediately considered a threat, and shoot on sight. Scope Works is currently spread across two regions of space and will monitor the numerous structures around both stations we currently stay at and report back if we find anything.
In the meantime, I suggest you all treat those new Sleepers with extreme caution.

Today was the second day I've observed the structures. I plan on observing them again tommorow...if they're still there of course. I should add that the structure in Onnamon is also intact. In fact there were two capsuleers who attempted to interact with it to no effect (bombing and repping).
Both Onnamon and Uchomida are very close together, separated by one system. Their stellar classifications are G5 and K4 respectively. As far as the drones are concerned, being scanned down by them once was more than enough to make exercise caution. All my observations are now done at a distance in a cloaked vessel.

I have been reporting information to the F.I.O about the events of this 'Star incident' and the appearance of these cloaked structures . All the information i can disclose is that i did find one of these structures in Caldari Space in a system called Irjunen, Citadel Region. After Studying the structure over the last two days or so, it has simply vanished!! Which some of you have noticed. Though there might be a trend where they might 'appear' as Rhys Mabigonon noticed the Star types K4 and G5, Irjunen's star is a G5. It might be best to log information about star types in the systems that have had these structures pop up in.
As for the Structure itself .. well wild guesses from myself is an information broadcasting thingy or a really farfetched guess Isogen-5 that has been hoarded... |

As a resident of Anoikis, I really hope for two things: 1: that the new sleepers don't take shield tech back down the rabbit hole. 2: that sleepers don't hold grudges.
Because if either of those happen, our lives may begin to resemble the events of the apocalypse, as was written here: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/The_Seven_Events_of_the_Apocalypse
I tend to give some credence to this, if only due to its origin being separate from Amarrian religious fanaticism. And if the Sleepers aim to misbehave then the 4th prophecy of GÇ£the appetite of nothing expands over the worldGÇ¥ would be horribly, terrifyingly accurate. |

The structure most certainly isn't fully cloaked - either the cloak is damaged or the structure's emissions are too high to contain. Questions remained whether it was always there or is it new? If it was always there, was it dormant or operational and became damaged recently?
An audio interpretation of the Pillar's emissions shows a low hum, mixed in with short bursts of static due to the electric arcs.
The C-Drones appear wherever the Pillars crop up, but "scan" them as well, reacting to them like they do to every object they encounter. They're either very dumb, or this thing isn't Sleeper in origin.
Furthermore, the C-Drones like to focus on specific things - while they will scan our ships and drones, they're very interested in customs facilities and asteroids. And, after some time, they started to carry a single Heavy Missile Launcher on their hull. They didn't use them yet.
Perhaps those beams are some sort of resource harvesting device they'd use to power nano-assemblies and upgrade themselves?
Beyond that, they're almost robotic in behavior, spending on average 5-7 minutes at each object they warp to doing what they usually do. They don't react in any way to any form of aggression.

Fascinating observations here. With the note of them focusing on customs offices and asteroids, that would agree with the theory of them resource harvesting. The addition of weapons systems on a heretofore unarmed drone adds credence to it. Has anyone checked their cargo hold after being scanned to see it stuff is missing?
Also, a further thought on their name. I had to dig for some ancient definitions, but I found the one I needed:
cir-+ca-+di-+an s+Ör-êk-üd-ô+Ön adjectivePHYSIOLOGY (of biological processes) recurring naturally on a twenty-four-hour cycle, even in the absence of light fluctuations. "a circadian rhythm"
Old, I know, but I knew it reminded me of something. Has anyone checked on these drones daily yet? Their name is telling us to, it would seem. |

They have taken nothing from my cargo hold or the cans I dropped. They also never had any cargo themselves according to scans, even after working on asteroids or customs offices. |
