Each homefront operation requires a group of pilots covering specific roles from hacking to hauling. Be warned; unlike most other sites, homefront operations can be lost if your team fails to meet their set objective.
Goal
The goal of these sites is to bring new and experienced capsuleers together to do new activities, help to establish social connections and introduce fleet gameplay.
Sites are located in empire owned High Security systems, mostly focused around trade hubs or Career Agent systems.
The enemies, narrative, and specific goals of a site are dependent on which empire's space it is found within.
Some sites introduce hostiles hailing from new traitorous corporations, splintering away from their empire.
Availability
There is a total of six (6) different types of Homefront Operations. Each type will have 4 different versions, depending on which empire space you are in (excepting the Abyssal Artifact Recovery, which is the same in all empires). The only difference between the versions is the type of pirates you face in each site. The base mechanics are all the same.
Site summary
Emergency Aid
Hostiles are attempting to destroy an allied target. Repair any damage and keep the enemy at bay long enough to secure the site. The hostile forces cannot be allowed to complete their objective.
Dread Assault
An allied Dreadnought was dispatched to eliminate a target. Unfortunately, hostile forces are neutralizing its capacitor and preventing it from firing. Boost its charge, keep the enemy at bay, and the dread will take care of the rest.
Raid
An enemy base has been found containing items your empire would like recovered. Tackle and destroy any hostile haulers that attempt to escape. Bring a hauler of your own to aid in retrieving the items from their smoldering wrecks.
Suspicious Data
Your target is protected by an array of specialized emitters. While they're active, it is invulnerable. Hack the array to temporarily disable these defenses and give yourself a chance to take out the target.
Metaliminal Meteoroid
An asteroid comprised of ore valuable to the war effort has slipped into Empire space. Your goal is to mine it out before it plunges back to Abyssal Deadspace. Be careful; hostile forces in the area will attempt to disrupt and delay your efforts.
Abyssal Artifact Recovery
Valuable artifacts buried within asteroids have emerged from Abyssal rifts. However, they aren't all that has made its way to the cluster. Break apart the asteroids and grab whatever you can before the dwellers of the Abyss overwhelm you.
