The event introduces FW-like combat sites which can be found across <span style="color: rgb(45, 194, 107);">HS </span>and <span style="color: rgb(230, 126, 35);">LS.</span>

- Sites are not gated, any size of ship can enter and kill npcs, the defence-bar only progresses though if at least one ship following the restrictions is on a particular grid
- In order to see the defenders and hostile npcs, you may need to add them to your overview filter: [![image.png](https://wiki.erst.live/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/image.png)](https://wiki.erst.live/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/image.png)

Warping to any of the anomalies for the first time, spawns the defendable location(s) and an operational window starts (**check the opportunities widget to see progress**). Site ends if either all locations have been <span style="color: rgb(45, 194, 107);">secured</span>, <span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">lost </span>or the operational window expired.  
If the site ends and at least one location has been secured, a canister of loot becomes available. For the frigate sized anomaly, the container spawns directly at the defended location, the cruiser and battleship sites spawn a new beacon one has to warp to in order to pick up the loot.

<p class="callout warning">Currently, EVERYONE in system can just warp to the loot beacon and steal the loot, be quick!</p>
