}} '''Wightstorm Forward Base''' is a highsec combat anomaly that appears inside Volatile Ice Storms during the [[Winter Nexus]] event in 2020, 2021 and 2023.

If a capsuleer is present at the Forward Base it will appear in the Overview of every capsuleer in the same System.
 
Enemy ships can warp to tactical bookmarks and often target drones. They deal EM & Thermal damage with lasers, and Kinetic & Explosive damage with missiles, similar to their [[Incursion]] counterparts. Frigates have a 50k ISK bounty, Cruisers 125k, and the Battleship 2M. Only the Battleship drops loot.

Similar to other event sites post-2019, the site is doable with a well fit [[Battlecruiser]] with application support. One of the event challenge texts recommends a T2-fit [[Battleship]].

Single pocket.


Acceleration gate permits T2 and Faction Battleships.  The rats will not spawn until about half a minute after warping into the site.  They will employ advanced AI tactics like warping periodically to bookmarks and back on top of you.
