Serpentis Paramilitary Complex

DED 7/10Null SecuritySerpentis Corporation

Serpentis Paramilitary Complex is a Rated DED Complex (7/10) type, occupied by the Serpentis pirate faction. It can be found via exploration by probing in Nullsec systems. It can also appear as an escalation from Serpentis Forlorn Den and Serpentis Forsaken Den, in which case it may appear in lowsec. 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.
