The big team objective: escort automated fuel tankers from the ORE Ice Refinery to your side's scoring zone while the other side intercepts — first to 10 deposits wins. NPC waves keep respawning until completion and hit at full damage; pirates who stray near the NPC Upwell Thunderchilds get deleted. Late-corruption content (levels 3–4), sized for fleets.
