Serpentis Hideout

Unrated Β· difficulty rank 1High SecurityLow SecuritySerpentis Corporation

Serpentis Hideout is an Unrated Deadspace Complex that is found in High Security and Low Security Gallente Space, via Probe scanning. The site consists of an entrance pocket, and two main pockets, separated by acceleration gates. If running the site in a T1 frigate, or if using light drones, take care against the Elite Frigates (Coreli Guardian Agent/Defender/Guard/Protector) as they will do higher damage than the regular frigate enemies, and will target light drones.
