Observatory Flashpoint
EDENCOM / Empire NaviesPochven's flagship fleet anomaly: defend the Triglavian side against EDENCOM around a Stellar Observatory. Two defender waves build to a single empire Dreadnought that sieges every two minutes (+425% damage) and escalates to a fleet-wiping "super siege" if left alive too long. Its wreck drops the Dreadnought Systems Diagram key AND projects a 30-50 km warp-disruption bubble — salvage it, shoot it, or burn out. Killing the Dreadnought makes the Observatory vulnerable; destroying it completes the site and spawns the key-locked Triglavian schematic cache. Overcharge Pylons give +100% damage within 5 km. A ~60 km boundary is enforced by invulnerable Threshold Werpost sentries doing ~10,000 omni DPS with pinpoint tracking — do not drift out. Standing warning: any fleet member with NEGATIVE Triglavian standing gets the "friendly" Triglavian forces (including the Zirnitra that arrives after the Dreadnought dies) shooting your logistics.

Quick answers
Where is the Observatory Flashpoint in EVE Online?
The Observatory Flashpoint spawns in Pochven. How you find it: combat anomaly in Pochven (max three live in the region; a new one spawns elsewhere on completion).
What spawns in the Observatory Flashpoint?
The Observatory Flashpoint has 3 waves and about 5 NPCs: 1 capital and 1 sentry tower. Killing the trigger ship spawns the next wave; the trigger is Stellar Observatory.
Which ships can enter the Observatory Flashpoint?
Ship restrictions for the Observatory Flashpoint: T2 Battleship and below; payouts sized for 5-15 pilots.
What does the Observatory Flashpoint drop?
ISK payout scales inversely with fleet size — community figures ~520M ISK/pilot at 5 pilots down to ~230M/pilot at 15 (over 15 pilots collapses the payout; to be paid you must be in-site, uncloaked, and have damaged the Observatory or repped someone who did). The cache (opened with the Dreadnought Systems Diagram; multiple keys = multiple opens) can hold Precursor Dreadnought / Capital Precursor Weapon skillbooks, a Zirnitra BPC, Supratidal Entropic Disintegrator BPC, XL Exotic Plasma Charge BPC or capital component BPCs.

Run order (community, grade C)
- Warp-in: EDENCOM and Triglavian ships fighting at the gate; take the Observatory Assault Vector gate.
- Pocket: 1st EDENCOM wave guards the invulnerable Observatory; engaging spawns the 2nd wave; enough kills spawn the empire Dreadnought 40-80 km out.
- Dreadnought: sieges every 2 min for 3 min (+425% damage, EWAR-resistant); 12s fire rate, huge alpha, cruiser-class tracking — heavy tank over speed. Kill it before 'super siege'.
- Dread wreck: loot the Dreadnought Systems Diagram; the wreck's 30-50 km warp disruption field stays until salvaged or destroyed.
- Endgame: Observatory becomes vulnerable + two more waves + two Overcharge Pylons (+100% damage within 5 km; 8 ships at a pylon triggers the friendly Zirnitra's siege) — kill the Observatory, open the cache with the key.
- Aggro model: the Dreadnought and every EDENCOM wave pick targets independently — up to five fleet members under fire at once; logistics must expect scattered damage.
