Angel Vigil is a unrated combat site that can be found via exploration by scanning down signatures with scanner probes in high-security systems. Its gate allows Battlecruisers or smaller to enter, and a (well equipped) Battlecruiser or HAC is suggested to bring into the site. (Addition: after completing in a Hurricane Dooobles notes that resists over 60% exp/kinetic, robust T2 tank with substantial buffer, exp/kinetic dmg dealing, web, and tracking gear are ESSENTIAL; the incoming damage is very high and the mobs kite.) The largest ship allowed to enter is a Command Ship (T2 Battlecruiser).
