=== Background information ===
The newly-acquired ability of Nation forces to override local system control has not yet been fully understood, and as a result, Nation forces are able to drastically affect contested systems over time, reducing the capabilities of capsuleers within their domain of control. Much of the technology used to aid this cause can be found at any of their mobile "consolidation network" facilities. This and other intelligence suggests that these complexes are primarily responsible for the initial propagation of system-wide interference.

=== Priorities ===
This is a generic kill order that works no matter what fleet you're running. Certain special doctrines or fleet compositions could change some things in order to optimize their fleet efficiency, so this isn't necessarily the only kill order, but it works.

As a general rule of thumb, if you cannot shoot the highest priority target due to low damage projection, move on to the next target you can actually hit. Just remember to switch back to a higher priority target if it moves into range later on.

== Triggers ==
=== Triggers ===
With the exception of the '''Antem Neos''' that spawn in the second wave, the last enemy killed triggers the next wave. This means that you can skip the Antems in the second wave. There is a chance that the fourth wave might be triggered before all the '''Romi Thalamus''' from the third wave are killed. You'd still need to kill it for the can to spawn for the third wave though.
===== Emergency Evacuation Freighter =====
In the fourth wave, the '''Emergency Evacuation Freighter''' will be unlocked when the majority of the wave is killed. You'll need to kill off all the warp disrupt capable ships, like '''Deltoles''' and '''Augas''', but then you have the option of killing only the '''Romis''' and '''Renyns''' to unlock the freighter, or ignore those and kill only the '''Anthems''' instead. So kill whichever is most convenient for you based on your fleet composition.
===== Captured Civilians =====
Each wave triggers the drop of a can containing the '''Captured Civilians''' necessary to complete the site. The can will spawn each wave once all but the long range '''Antems''' are killed, see below for more details.
===== Acceleration gates =====
The acceleration gates leading deeper into this site will be unlocked by the killing all the Sansha in the other side's pocket. So when the cruiser-side finishes their pocket, it unlocks the acceleration gate for the battleship-side, and vice versa. This means that you have to see it through on both sides in order to get to the fourth and final pocket where the sides come together to finish the site off.

===== Snipers =====
Several ships in the last pocket will sit at sniper ranges up to 150 km away from where you land. Without sniper capable ships you'd be unable to finish this site, unless you equip ships with microwarpdrives and chase down the elusive sniper targets. But that's hardly an ideal solution.


===== Anchor =====
==== Snipers ====
Several ships in the last pocket will spawn at sniper ranges up to 150 km away from where you land. While they will slowly approach to their preferred 60 km orbits, it is pretty much critical to have some ships able to lock and apply good damage out to at least 120 km.
 
==== Anchor ====
While not a critical role, having an anchor that goes in first to ensure that the initial full room aggro is directed to them is a safety measure. It helps avoid initial split aggro while you're facing a full wave of Sansha. It also gives people a point of reference for orbiting, to keep the fleet together.

== Hints & tips ==
* There are four pockets separated by acceleration gates. The fleet comes together in the fourth and final pocket, with the gate being called '''Fleet Staging Area'''. So be sure to consolidate your fleet when you reach this gate and ready your anchor and logistics on both sides before going in.
