Activities
Combat
Crimson Gauntlet
Level 3 Blood Raider combat site. NPCs do mostly EM/Thermal damage, a few also deal Explosive damage.
The waves may be sometimes timed and the next one can spawn while ships from the previous wave are still alive.
The waves may be sometimes timed and the next one can spawn while ships from the previous wave are still alive.
Note: The boss can sometimes spawn alongside a third wave of ships in this room. The incoming DPS will be very high, approaching 600, if this happens.
Tetrimon Base
Level 3 Order of Tetrimon site. Consists of three rooms. NPCs do predominantly EM and Thermal damage though a few also deal heavy Kinetic. They will also aggressively target drones.

Additional spawns
In both the Crimson Gauntlet and Tetrimon Base sites after clearing all waves in the first or second pocket, there is a chance that an Abyssal rift will open and spawn a small group of additional ships, being either Rogue Drones, Sleepers, or Triglavians. The spawns always consist of one boss enemy and a small escort of ships from Pochven. The boss drops Mutated Blood Samples and has a chance to drop a Criterion Cipher for the Criterion of Fitness combat sites, the escorts have the same loot tables as their counterparts in Pochven. The NPCs will not leave after site completion and will only despawn once the site complex itself disappears from the overview.

Triglavian escorts can be either Raznaborg or normal type (Have not observed Hospodar or Zorya's spawns yet - 9 October 2026). Typically there are usually around 3 escorts plus the boss. No standing loss from killing all ships.

Escalation
Destruction of the Decloaked Tetrimon Transmission Relay may escalate to a Tetrimon Garrison. A Decloaked Dark Blood Transmission Relay may escalate to a Crimson Harvest Sanctuary.
Tetrimon Garrison
Level 5 Order of Tetrimon site.

| As the transmission relay explodes, you detect a faint encrypted signal on a tight beam. Following the signal should lead you to a Tetrimon Garrison |
Crimson Harvest Sanctuary

Advanced sites
Hollow Outbreak
The sites come in 3 levels:
- Class 1: Highsec - balanced for new players in basic Tech I frigates
- Class 2: All areas - for experienced players in Tech I destroyers, Tech II frigates, and lower.
- Class 3: Lowsec, nullsec, wormholes, and Pochven - for veterans flying up to Tech III destroyers
There is a "Newly Constructed Acceleration Gate" at the site's warp-in point.
For Class 1 sites use of the gate is restricted to:
Atron,
Breacher,
Condor,
Executioner,
Incursus,
Kestrel, Merlin,
Punisher,
Rifter,
Slasher,
Tormentor and
Tristan.

Criterion of Fitness
Gated site that can spawn anywhere in Known Space, requires a Criterion Cipher to access the site, which is dropped by the Pochven enemy boss spawns in Crimson Gauntlet and Tetrimon Base sites. The acceleration gate deactivates after a ship passes through it which effectively makes the site a solo run. The site is best run with a marauder but less well tanked ships are doable if you are okay with potentially skipping out on the site's full rewards.
You fight three "trial rounds" (i.e. waves) of Triglavian ships identical in stats to those in Minor Victory systems and Pochven, with a 1-minute delay between each wave. The relative difficulty of each wave is determined by a challenge modifier that increases the difficulty based off of how fast you complete each wave and adds to an overall "fitness score", which has a maximum of 15 and determines the value of your rewards at the end. The difficulty modifier time seems to go as such:
- Sufficient: Wave cleared in 4 minutes. Gain 3? fitness. No challenge increase.
- Efficient: Wave cleared in 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Gain 4 fitness. Challenge increase +1.
- Glorified: Wave cleared in 1 minute and 30 seconds. Gain 5 fitness. Challenge increase +2.
The first wave generally consists of around 5 ships of up to battlecruiser size and mostly Raznaborg and normal ship variants. Increasing the challenge score will cause subsequent waves to spawn an increasing number of ships with a higher likelihood of Hospodar elite NPC spawns. This caps out at roughly 4 battleships plus up to 10 escorts at wave 3.

After clearing wave 3 within any of the three timers, you will be informed that a "formidable Triglavian superior" is approaching. The boss wave spawns after a minute. Killing the boss spawns a Criterion Cache which drops a large amount of items that can be traded in the Triglavian LP store in Pochven. The value and quantity of the items in the cache scales based off of your fitness score.
The Superior Drekavac and Leshak have a heavy neut (31 and 21 GJ/s, respectively). Zorya's Babaroga does roughly 550 DPS with its disintegrator and will periodically enter Bastion mode, which gives it a +200% damage bonus.

You will generally get up to ~200-250m ISK worth of drops from each site. The NPCs in the first three waves have the same loot and salvage tables as their Pochven counterparts making it a good idea to salvage after your runs. The Drekavac/Leshak/Babaroga boss spawn drops similar loot to that of the other event bosses.
Hacking
- See also: Hacking
Note: failing to hack a container twice will cause it to explode. Theresa Quinn said in the in-game EVE University channel; "nice, unresolved bioadaptive caches got unlimited hacking tries"
There are 2 different types of level III data sites for each faction: Crimson Harvest Network Node/Hub and Tetrimon Network Node/Hub. Nodes spawn in high sec, while Hubs spawn in low sec. The site consists of one room with three cans approximately 20 to 40km from the warp in point surrounded by some appropriately themed objects. Sometimes a fourth can will spawn (a "Unresolved Bioadaptive Cache" it dropped a single, lonely Captured Bioadaptive Cache. You will receive agency points only from the sites opposing your faction of choice but both sites can be completed for loot without penalty.
