Guardian's Gala (2020)
Guardian's Gala (2020) is the latest edition of the yearly Guardian's Gala event, which took place from 12 February to 24 February 2020.
The event consists of combat sites scattered around all areas of New Eden.
Combat sites
There are two different types of sites in the event: Normal sites that appear in normal space and a different site that appears in wormhole space.
The site appears as a combat anomaly in the probe scanner. Once someone initiates warpin to the site it will also appear as a beacon in the overview.

Kiting is not viable strategy. The rats will catch any ship in the site. Even the EWAR rats that have very long range will get on top of their target even if they wouldn't need to do that. All ships orbit at 20 km or less from their target.
