Sansha Sanctum
Sansha's NationSansha's Nation Tier 10 family: Base Hidden
Sansha Sanctum is an unrated combat site belonging to the Sansha's Nation pirate faction. It can be found via exploration as a cosmic anomaly within null-security systems occupied by the Sansha's Nation. As an ungated complex, the limitations as to which ships can complete this site are tied to the security rating of the system where the anomaly spawns (up to Titans in null-security systems). Completing this complex may award the player with valuable True Sansha faction modules and ammunition. This combat site consists of a single ungated pocket of space containing a variety of Frigate to Battleship-sized enemy ships.
