The Siege of Zarzakh has begun! In this limited-time event, groups of 8-10 capsuleers must pass through perilous star systems to reach Horizon Siege Point sites and destroy Drifter siege engines. As the Drifters attack the four star systems with direct gates to Zarzakh, participating capsuleers can earn valuable rewards defending against the onslaught. Oh, and a tip? Keep your Opportunities info panel open when tackling these sites.
These dangerous systems aren’t for the faint of heart and travel here is hazardous. Drifters and Sleepers will also be roaming the star systems where attacks are taking place and sites will be limited to battlecruisers and smaller ships. With this in mind, fleeting up is strongly advised.
In response to these attacks, Zarzakh’s gates have now been placed under Emanation Lock. Capsuleers will only be able to leave Zarzakh via the gate through which they arrived until the 6-hour timer runs out. After 6 hours in-system, the Fulcrum will "naturalize" individual capsuleers as belonging in Zarzakh, letting them pass through any gate.
Joining this event lets capsuleers face off against increasingly powerful enemies, prove themselves in combat, and just possibly get the chance to lure Drifter officers to Horizon Siege Point sites. How? That’s for you to discover.
Recent news has revealed that the . The Society of Conscious Thought (SOCT) has detected a drop in the energy signatures in the deepflow coinciding with the Drifters’ assault on the gate systems. As these caused the rifts, SOCT scientists predict the deepflow will stabilize and rifts will cease to appear on 12 September.
