Quick answers
Where is the Quarantine Area in EVE Online?
The Quarantine Area spawns in wormhole space (C5 systems). How you find it: anomaly.
What spawns in the Quarantine Area?
The Quarantine Area has 3 waves and about 26 NPCs: 5 battleships, 9 cruisers, 4 tactical destroyers and 8 frigates. Killing the trigger ship spawns the next wave; the trigger is Sleepless Sentinel.
What should I tank and shoot in the Quarantine Area?
The heaviest wave in the Quarantine Area deals about 1,574 DPS and the site holds about 1,039,000 EHP to grind through. Up to 5 NPCs scram at once, so you cannot simply warp out. Peak capacitor neutralising is about 36 GJ/s.
What ship do I need for the Quarantine Area?
As a rule of thumb, tanking the heaviest wave of the Quarantine Area in full (about 1,574 DPS) takes a group, or a marauder or capital fleet. Its NPCs scram, so if your tank breaks you cannot simply warp out. Pulling waves carefully lowers what you need to tank.
How much is the Quarantine Area worth?
The Quarantine Area is worth about 146.9M ISK in blue loot at current prices.
