Main article: Homefront operation

Homefront operations are Cosmic Anomalies in highsec that require a group of pilots covering specific roles from standard roles like DPS and logi to less common roles in fleets such as hacking and hauling. Each having its own scenario and requiring its own group composition and strategy. The acceleration gate on the entrance allows only certain types of ships depending on particular type.

Mission details

Abyssal Artifact Recovery Miner

This site will require proficiency in mining, drones, repair, and capacitor transfer. After an initial set-up peroid of 90 seconds, asteroids from beyond the rift will appear and a timer will begin. The site will progress through a total of 9 waves divided into three tiers. The enemy fleet compositions will become more difficult and the wave timers become shorter with each tier.

During each wave, a random Abyssal Weather effect will begin and 12 asteroids will spawn in fixed locations. Each asteroid contains 24 ore (Admixti Mutanite), each with a mass of 4 m³, for a total of 96 m³. The presence of these asteroids causes an anti-warp bubble until all 12 are depleted.

Uncover the hidden Faulty Triglavian Caches by mining any of the asteroids, there are Triglavian Artifacts to be looted from them—destroy them quickly, as they have a limited lifespan.

Abyssal Artifact Recovery: Faulty Triglavian Cache

The success of each wave is determined by the depletion of the asteroids. If any remain at the end of the wave timer, the site will fail. Note that the warp bubble will still remain until all asteroids have been mined out. Successfully completing a wave will result in a payout at the end of that wave's timer, based on the tier of difficulty.

Abyssal Artifact Recovery in different empires

These sites have no regional differences.

Hostiles

Each wave will spawn an enemy fleet which will be one of three factions: Drifters, Rogue Drones, or Triglavians. These fleets have random compositions that may include logistics, capacitor neutralizers, and other EWAR. Enemies will remain until destroyed, so a minimum threshold of DPS is needed to prevent being overrun.

Drifters				Rogue Drones				Triglavian
Prefix	Info	Weakness		Prefix	Info	Weakness		Prefix	Info	Weakness
Soothing	Logi			Machinist	Logi			Fortifying	Logi
Enervating	Neuts			Alienator				Dominant
Risen				Proliferator				Fervent
Stirring				Corrupted				Ravenous
								Stifler
								Stalker

WARNING: After the 9th and final wave, a 60-second evacuation timer begins. When it ends, a Drifter response fleet led by Tyrannos Basileus will arrive in overwhelming force. No vessel can survive the Basileus battleship’s superweapon.

Finding sites

Homefront operations are Cosmic Anomalies located in empire owned High Security systems, mostly focused around trade hubs or career agent systems.

• Opportunities window > Homefront Operations tab: will render a list of the available homefronts within a limited range.
• Agency window > Homefront Operations tab: will give you a more detailed filtering ability that allows you to search any region.
• Probe Scanner > Displays all available anomalies in the system, including their distance in AU, with options to warp or align to them.

• Unaligned Dekaisogen
• Fluctuating Entropic Regulator
• Spin resonance
• Spectral Emission Slices

Estimated value of the Admixti Mutanite
