Dark Blood Fleet Staging Point

Unrated Β· difficulty rank 13Null SecurityBlood Raiders

The Dark Blood Fleet Staging Point is an unrated cosmic signature site that can be scanned using Core Probes in Blood Raider infested regions of Null Sec space. It may also be received as an escalation from Blood Forsaken Hub and Blood Forlorn Hub anomalies. The site itself escallates twice, involving travel. If both escallations go in the same direction, you could end up in hostile space for part 3. This can be run in a single Ishtar. The site appears to not aggro on Ishtar drones, so reset the aggro if that happens. The most critical part of running this is to deal with the neut batteries. Primary them but run away while you do because incoming damage will be heavy and you won't have cap.
