Template:PrevnextTemplate:InfoboxNeue
After a one-year hiatus and in the wake of the strange withdrawal of StarCitizen:Invictus Launch Week 2956 to the StarCitizen:Sol system, StarCitizen:Drake DefenseCon – StarCitizen:Drake Interplanetary's recently traditional tag-along event to the StarCitizen:Invictus Launch Week – has made its return in StarCitizen:2956. Unlike in previous events where no companies aside from Drake itself participated and the event was timed to not immediately coincide and compete with Invictus for attendance, DefenseCon 2956 has expanded in duration to encompass the entirety of StarCitizen:Invictus Launch Week 2956 and includes as participants many of the manufacturers who would otherwise have attended the more prestigious event.<ref name="DefCon2956Countdown">Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name="SSN CATV">SSN/CATV Newsflash. X. Retrieved 2026-04-25.</ref>
About
Traditionally Drake had been holding the event on its own to showcase their contribution and solutions in defense offered to [[StarCitizen::Category:Security organizations|militias and security organizations]]. But in StarCitizen:2955 Drake was, for the first time, invited to participate in the Invictus Launch Week. However in 2956 – and for reasons still not known – StarCitizen:Invictus Launch Week was withdrawn and held only in the StarCitizen:Sol system, enabling Drake's CEO StarCitizen:Anden Arden to reinstate the DefenseCon beyond Sol on a far grander scale and even drawing the attendance of other manufacturers, with Arden boasting to StarCitizen:SSN/CAtv that they were "proud to welcome all manufacturers, no hidden agenda, no glossy bait" and that "DefenseCon will show'em how it is really done".<ref name="SSN CATV" />
Therefore, the Drake Interplanetary DefenseCon 2956 was held independently of its normally overshadowing event at the StarCitizen:Bevic Convention Center in StarCitizen:Area18, from the 14th to the 27th of May, 2956.<ref name="SSN CATV" />
As announced on StarCitizen:Drake DefenseCon 2954, Drake has presented the long-awaited Drake StarCitizen:Ironclad and StarCitizen:Ironclad Assault, an armored heavy freighter suited for the roughest systems with a detachable Command Module like the StarCitizen:Caterpillar, and a military/assault variant respectively.<ref name="ISCIR">Template:Cite RSI on YouTube</ref>
Nonetheless StarCitizen:Drake Interplanetary has not fully escaped being overshadowed on this annual occasion, with StarCitizen:Anvil Aerospace's major announcement of the StarCitizen:Odin [[StarCitizen::Category:Battlecruisers|battlecruiser]] at this event.<ref name="SSN CATV" />
