Contested Covert Research Facility

Legacy · possibly removedLow SecurityNull SecurityUnknown

A legacy hacking site of uncertain status — community sources suggest it may have been removed when Besieged Covert Research Facilities were added, and the last substantive report dates to 2017. One hackable container; the site self-destructs for 2,000 damage 45–60 seconds after warp-in. Confirmed alive and actively tuned as late as Kronos 1.1 (Jun 2014 patch notes: timer reduced, despawn-after-hack fixed). Listed for completeness; treat as historical until someone lands in one and proves otherwise (that would be a page upgrade we'd love to make).
