This article documents content that is no longer in the game Operation Permafrost was a limited time event that ran from December 17th, 2018 to January 2nd, 2019.
Ice Dwarf
The event took place in event sites called "Ice Dwarf". The site appeared as a warpable beacon in the overview.
Unlike the previous events, this time the event sites are static with only one event site in each constellation.
The site is split to three areas that are all accessible from the warpin area.
- West area: Gas harvesting and mining
- North area: Combat
- East area: Hacking
The acceleration gates are not locked.

With the exception of the Mordu's Spathas, all rats in this event used missiles exclusively. Mordu's Spathas seemed to appear only if the event site had not had activity for a long time (several hours). The Mordu's Decurions and Centurions both did very high damage (possibly near 100 DPS), which made speed tanking ideal in anything smaller than a battleship.
The west (gas/mining) and east (hacking) sites both featured a pair of Chromodynamic Tricarboxyl refineries, one for the gas and the other for the ore. The event ore and gas could also be refined in regular stations and Upwell Structures.
West Area
This area contains two Hiemal Tricarboxyl Vapor clouds (gas harvesters) and Tricarboxyl ice (ore mining). These can be refined into Chromodynamic Tricarboxyls to make event modules.
There are also few cruisers and frigates in the room that will attack capsuleers who enter the area.

East Area
The area had 16 replenishing hackable containers (Frostline Logistics Node), arranged in four groups of four containers each, approximately 60 km apart from one another. The containers contain agency boosters and SKINs. Each hacked node had a chance of spawning a transport in the West Area filled with Chromodynamic Tricarboxyls.

Notes
In the first day of the event, the ore and hacking areas did not properly respawn their resources, resulting in both areas in many constellations being empty within an hour after downtime. This was eventually fixed within a couple of days.
