Quick answers
Where is the Line in EVE Online?
The Line spawns in wormhole space (C1 systems). How you find it: anomaly.
What spawns in the Line?
The Line has 3 waves and about 18 NPCs: 8 cruisers and 10 frigates. Killing the trigger ship spawns the next wave; the triggers are Awakened Watchman and Awakened Patroller.
What should I tank and shoot in the Line?
The heaviest wave in the Line deals about 155 DPS and the site holds about 112,733 EHP to grind through. Peak capacitor neutralising is about 30 GJ/s.
What ship do I need for the Line?
As a rule of thumb, tanking the heaviest wave of the Line in full (about 155 DPS) takes a well-fitted cruiser. Pulling waves carefully lowers what you need to tank.
How much is the Line worth?
The Line is worth about 12.0M ISK in blue loot at current prices.

This roster is effectively omni-resist. No damage type has a meaningful edge, so pick on application and range instead.
