The Drifter Crisis is about to reach its breaking point, and you might be the deciding factor. Capsuleer Day XXII, codenamed Nexus Reckoning, begins on 15 April. It’s a full-scale seasonal event with daily login rewards, exciting and lucrative challenges, as well as a faction-driven war that spans wormholes, Pochven, and empire space. The turning point is almost here. It’s time to act.

The War for the Hives Rages On
The Race for the Hives event is over, and the five top-scoring factions are establishing a presence inside Drifter wormhole systems. Here are the results for the highest scoring factions, top contributors, and contributions over time:
These intrepid factions will not stand alone; they will rely on capsuleer support to hold ground, defend against retaliation, push deeper, and ultimately secure control of the Drifter systems.
At the start of Capsuleer Day, Drifter wormhole space will see massive overhauls, with two new combat sites revealed: the Labyrinth Complex, which will be gated to Tech II battlecruisers, and the Nexus Point, where an even greater threat lurks. The deeper you go, the higher the stakes and the greater the rewards!
Keep in mind that this is not a one-sided conflict. The Drifters are expected to retaliate, and as a last stand is mounted, pilots in all areas of New Eden will be able to do their part to influence the escalating struggle. No region will be untouched by the war, and all capsuleers can find ways to contribute.
All Playstyles Needed
Every kind of capsuleer is needed in the Nexus Reckoning. Whether your strengths lie in combat, exploration, hacking, manufacturing, or market manipulation, there are ways to contribute – and profit. Industrialists and manufacturers will find new roles in supporting the conflict. Constructing and distributing key items will shape how the war unfolds and who comes out ahead.
The event’s seasonal reward track offers exclusive SKINs, ships, and rare items to those who complete challenges across these different activities. Content in Drifter wormholes will grant the most progress on the track, but opportunities to earn great rewards will exist in all areas of New Eden.
The Spoils of War
Among the rewards on offer this Capsuleer Day are new Drifter-themed SKINs, SKINR design components, boosters, mutaplasmids, and maybe even SoCT ships. The new combat sites may lead to experimental officer modules, and traders in the Labyrinth Complex may offer rare Drifter faction modules and volatile boosters.
SKINs earned through the event reward track will be bound to your account, a permanent mark of your achievement. However, loot recovered from challenge sites, including SKINs, filaments, crates, and consumables, will be fully tradable, opening opportunities for economic profit and market speculation.
In parallel, a full set of daily login rewards will be up for grabs! Log in each day to earn prizes that increase in value the longer you stay engaged. The big reward for Omega clones unlocks on 6 May, just as the conflict reaches its peak. Omegas can claim both reward tracks, and upgrading mid-event unlocks all missed rewards retroactively.
Make Your Mark on Any Front
Event content will surface through the Agency and AIR Opportunities, guiding capsuleers toward combat encounters, hacking sites, mining opportunities, and more. Some Drifter Crisis content will remain active, but will now be available outside Crisis systems. In addition, the Horizon Siege Point site will return, with some modifications, inside Pochven and wormhole space.
Capsuleers from all walks of New Eden can get involved, interfere, profit, or prey on the unprepared. PvPers looking to disrupt fleets or pick apart explorers will find rich hunting grounds, especially in wormhole space.
This is a shared battlefield. No matter where you live, you will find action in your space.
Prepare for the Final Stand
This is the culmination of a long and escalating war, and your actions will define how it ends. The factions leading the charge into Drifter space may emerge victorious, or they may be driven out. If the Drifters win, the consequences could reach far beyond wormholes. If capsuleers succeed, they may help pave the way for factions to discover opportunities to begin research into some of the most dangerous and powerful technology in New Eden.
The last days of Nexus Reckoning will see even more dramatic events take place, playing out across empire space and inviting all capsuleers to participate. Capsuleer Day XXII ends on 15 May, and until then, every login, every combat encounter, every choice matters. This is the final phase of the Drifter Crisis, and you will make a difference.
