Pilots;
We haven't been nearly so good about discussing current events as we have been in the past. Let's change that, shall we?
The latest Scope bulletin is full of news, as normal. Aside from the major focus, the ticker includes rather a few interesting subjects for discussion.
- Home Guard arrests four suspects on New Caldari Prime in relation to arson attack on Korama House of Records Archive
- Upwell Consortium confirms construction of first Fortizar class citadel by Hard Knocks Citizens with chariman Yani Sar Arteu congratulating organization on its industrial and military prowess
- Scope Galactic News Network confirms rumors of talks with Secure Commerce Commission regarding seccession from the Federation and establishment as an independent broadcasting body
- Directive Enforcement Department issues travel advisory and CONCORD CDIA report on new Drifter vessel identified as critical threat to interstellar shipping
- Imperial Succession Committee confirms that coronation of Empress Catiz I will occur on September 27th YC118
- Caldari Customs issues travel advisory for regions of Lonetrek and Black Rise after influx of traffic from north begins to cause processing delays for immigration
- Empress Catiz I announce...
The first item is interesting, as Home Guard is KK's police corporation. I wonder, then, if the suspects were Kaalakiota citizens?
Congratulations, of course, to Hard Knocks for the first deployed Fortizar. Impressive! There were images circulating on Galnet of twenty or so dreadnaughts deployed to defend its onlining.
Interesting bit on Scope going independent, but I'm not sure what more there is to say on that.
The Drifter vessel is, I assume, the Arithmos Tyrannos that has begun appearing in core wormhole systems. We've received reports that it is significantly tougher than previously-identified Drifters, but lacks a superweapon; I can only assume the energy used to power the superweapon was instead focused on vessel integrity systems. Considering the Drifter battleship now seems to take damage like a dreadnaught, well, that's quite the undertaking! ARC's planning an expedition to assess the threat of this ship; more news will follow.
I look forward to the coronation of the Empress Catiz I. Having been present at the succession trials, it's clear what a momentous occasion this is. Let us hope that this will be a singular event in our lifetimes, and her reign will be long.

Looking forward to more drifter raids. Also, love the new look!

Namas,
You would think this would have been a bigger story.
Since my current home is in a system with a Jove Observatory and Seekers it begs the question, have these new ships appeared outside of wormhole systems yet? We generally tell our newbeans not to shoot at the Seekers, because who needs Drifters around mucking things up, right? If these new ships are going to pose a bigger problem, we might have to take additional steps.
Any further intel on the Drifter battleships and these new ships (size, configuration, numbers etc.) would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be following this particular story with interest.
A truly independent news network, free from governmental involvement of any kind within the Federation, is to be welcomed, and I personally congratulate Scope GNN on their development.
I hope that the lessons of the past have been learned, and that the Federation is more supportive of those reaching for freedom than it has been in the past.

Our enemies is indeed changing and advancing. Any information that can be provided should be given and new data must be secured if we are to weather this new threat.
I'm more concerned that Scope didn't even touch on the pirate corporations resent deployment of capital starships. News of which is still very scares. |

Has there been a release of damages in the House of Records arson? My mind immediately turns to business espionage or a cover-up, but that's a weighty leap. Still, I'd be curious to know what files were targeted in the blaze.
The fact that KK security was involved in curious, since iirc, the CEP was leading the investigation. I didn't see much discussion on this bit of news from a few weeks ago, when the news about the arson was first released:
Home Guard re-opens investigation into whereabouts of former executor of Caldari Providence Directorate Tibus Heth
Could there be a relationship? I'd almost be surprised if there was none whatsoever--the parties involved and the timing are all too telling.

Alternatively the suspects could just have been found on Kaalakiota corporate territory on NCP which would make the Home Guard the relevant arresting authority in the matter.

Moray;
On the matter of the Drifters, the new vessel is classified the Arithmos Tyrannos. It appears to have capital-level ship integrity and some very potent capacitor destabilization systems. Otherwise, there are no reports at present of it appearing in known space.
Neph, Gesakaarin;
To be fair, there are a lot of variables in play. It could be that the criminals were on KK property, or else that KK was given license given that the criminals were in contravention of KK law, or else... still, it's curious that the arrest was made by Home Guard. While there are many possibilities, it seems most likely that the suspects were basing from KK territoriality.
Of course, we'll see when the Home Guard releases more data.

Do you think Home Guard will do this?
I'm not being sarcastic I'm genuinely curious, I not well versed on Home Guards behaviour.

Well, they certainly wouldn't respond to a petition or perhaps a press release, but it's customary for felonies to end up on an employee's permanent record. Considering the extent of the damage, I can only assume they'll be charged with felony arson.
I'd also assume that the suspects will be run through the wringer for information on any other conspirators, and then spend a long, productive life on a penal colony somewhere.
May as well not waste potential labor.

Any word on how much firepower the new Drifter seems to have? In particular, whether it's sustained damage, or a burst of volley damage all at once? If I were in their shoes, it'd make sense to fit high-tracking, high-alpha weapons to quickly pop capsuleer frigates and cruisers, forcing us to commit heavier assets that are susceptible to the doomsday weapons their buddies possess. But I might be off-base here, just speculating.
In other news, Veikitamo looks stylish as always, and I love Makoto's top - is that color on the market now? Been thinking about switching up my look going forward.

I believe the latest reports said this new "Arithmos" had similar sustained damage output compared to most other Drifters, but significantly upgraded defenses on par with capital ships, as well as heavily improved capacitor warfare systems.
No "doomsday" superweapon has been reported as being in use, but with the Drifters, one never knows if they just haven't decided it's worth using yet.

Does Arithmos roam only in Anoikis or have there been sightings in k-space?

Pilot Neph;
The Arithmos has only been spotted in certain core wormhole systems at present.

By pulled out of warp, what do you mean? They all demonstrate some amount of warp disruption capability, and Arithmos also scramble. There are no known examples of interdiction, though.

When i warped over to the anomaly and saw it i tried to escape and started up my warp drive but i didn't get far as when my computer said warp drive active I thought I could get away my guess is it's capacitors had just recharged and it just barely grabbed me before I got away my warp was disrupted |

That isn't interdiction. That was your ship just being too slow to align as the drive spooled up.
Interdiction would be pulling you out of an already-active warp tunnel at a position different from your intended destination, such as with a bubble.
