Sansha Watch

Unrated Β· difficulty rank 3High SecurityLow SecuritySansha's Nation

An Unrated Complex that can be scanned down with scanner probes. It is commonly found in highsec systems occupied by the Sansha's Nation pirate faction. The site consists of a volume of space with an acceleration gate and contains various structures and their defending pirates. Using the gate allows access to other areas within the site. When attacked, the defenders may send multiple waves of reinforcements. Each group's appearance is triggered by the destruction of members of the previous group. The names and amount of ships listed may vary slightly, but will always be of Cruiser class or smaller. There are two variations of the site. This site's acceleration gate allows only Battlecruiser
