Security Blockade

The first pocket in the COMPLEX. The gate to the bonus room "Ancient Wreckage" is nearby your landing point, the second gate deeper into the COMPLEX is around 60 km away. Beside some sentry guns, you will have to face frigates and cruisers in this pocket. Some of the NPCs will use target painters. If the whole room is aggroed, the damage is not be underestimated. The only special NPC in the pocket is Nanom Basskel in a frigate, who will web you if you are too close.

None of the defenders will aggro until you approach or attack them; you can go to the Ancient Wreckage gate without drawing aggro from any of them.

Seized Supply Depot

---

A rather uninteresting pocket of the COMPLEX. Angel frigates and cruisers, some of which target paint again. Beside that nothing interesting, one might as well go directly for the last pocket. The acceleration gate is 38 km away from the entrance point.

Overrun Headquarters

The third and most interesting pocket. 2 named NPC and one deadspace structure relavant for COSMOS agent missions. The frigate and cruiser NPCs are from the angel faction and target painting is used again. Both named NPC are flying cruisers and deal quite a punch, do not aggro both with their corresponding wingmates if you can't tank some serious damage.

Ancient Wreckage

---

The Ancient Wreckage is a bonus room. The Bonus Room is dedicated to Archaeology, so you need an Analyzer module. Two Kind of NPC: "Local Poacher" in frigates and "Treasure Hunter" in cruisers. They are forming two packs of rats clustered around some debris and the cans. The respawn rate is incredibly low, you are basically targeted and shot by rats the whole time. Drones are your best friends in here, but keep an eye on them and recall them if they are targeted. The wrecks of the ships don't tend to drop interesting loot beside the Slices but they drop all about the constellation anyway. Don't bother with them unless you need to farm them for missions.

The hacking difficulty varies from very easy (50 HP core) to easy (70 HP core). The containers contain Sleeper Technology skillbooks and materials for storyline modules.

Both the rats and containers respawn fast. You need to hack while fighting but you can hack until you can't fit any more loot to your cargo.

Rats do not aggro until you approach or attack them.

Even if you can permatank the rats you still need to occasionally kill them. Sometimes you can't grab the items from container when nearby rats are alive.
