Blood Provincial HQ is an Unrated Complex found by scanning in Null security systems with Blood Raider presence.
Walkthrough
The first room is largely straightforward; a well-tanked T3 Cruiser or Battleship can do it fairly easily. The second room is much harder to solo due to strong webbing, neuting and fairly high DPS. If your ship does not have the ~1000 DPS required to destroy the Arena Sentinel structure in the second room, recommend bringing a friend for this site.
Warping to the site lands you on an acceleration gate that permits up to T2 Battleships.
First Pocket
The acceleration gate deeper into the complex is locked until the Gate Security Outpost is destroyed. Alternatively, a Blood Crystal Tag can be used to skip the room (the tag is consumed on use).

The Siege Beam Laser Sentries deal a total of about 200 DPS of omni damage with a slant towards EM and Thermal damage. They fire every 15-16 seconds.
The Arena Sentinel has a very strong -75% web that reaches out to 50 km. It fires Citadel EM torpedoes that deal approximately 1500 EM damage every 18 seconds. It also has a very strong active shield and armor tank that requires at least 1000 DPS to break.

Streams of electric particles spew out of the Arena Sentinel's hull as it nears the final moment of its existence.
As the dust settles from the battle, you receive a transmission from someone claiming to be a local vigilante who congratulates you on a job well done. Your computers run a check on his ship ID's and other info they can gather on him in such a short period of time, but come up with nothing. He appears to represent neither a pirate faction nor one of the empires. This person continues to welcome you to the area and offers to point you to some other Blood bases he knows about and have been a menace for the local population. If you want to come and meet him, he will lead the way.
