Homefront operations are [[Cosmic Anomalies]] found in [[HiSec|high security space]] that demand coordinated groups of pilots, filling roles ranging from traditional fleet positions like enforcers ([[DPS]]), miners, haulers and logistics ([[Logistics|Logi]]) to more specialized tasks such as [[hacking]], cargo scanning and [[tackling]]. | |||
There a total of 9 unique Homefront operations to choose from, 6 missions are designed for fleets of 5 pilots, the other 3 missions require fleets of 3 pilots. Each operation offers its own scenario, team setup, and strategy. At the entrance, the acceleration gate restricts access to specific ship types, depending on the mission. | |||

The mission revolves around mining a large asteroid until it is fully depleted. Hostile ships will continuously respawn, so engaging them directly is not recommended. Survival and efficiency are the priorities. | |||
Teams can approach the task in different ways, such as using small mining ships with support, or tougher ships capable of withstanding damage while extracting ore. Rewards come both from completing the site itself and from selling the mined ore, which has significant value. Some groups choose to have an additional hauler remain outside the site to collect the ore separately, maximizing profit without sharing the standard payout. Overall, the focus is on coordination, endurance, and making the most of the ore’s market value. | Teams can approach the task in different ways, such as using small mining ships with support, or tougher ships capable of withstanding damage while extracting ore.

== Interaction & standings == | |||
The hostile ships encountered in Homefront operations represent a wide variety of factions, including empire and major pirate factions as well factions that are unique to Homefronts. These unique factions are: | |||
* [[Ashes of Turnur]] - a criminal Minmatar faction | |||
* [[Disciples of Purity]] - a criminal Amarr faction | |||
* [[Gallentia Primacy]] - a criminal Gallente faction | |||
* [[United Champions of Freedom]] - a criminal Caldari faction | |||
No standing is gained or lost when fighting any of these hostile Homefront factions. | |||
No standing is gained or lost when fighting the Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, or Minmatar ships present in the Suspicious Signal operations. | |||
There are some islands of high security systems behind low security systems where sites can spawn; these sites are rarely completed. | Some standing is lost when killing the pirate haulers in Raid operations in Amarr (Blood Raiders), Caldari (Guristas), and Gallente (Serpentis) space. | ||
== Spawn mechanics ==<!--Amount of sites has been proven to be outdated as of 25/08/2025--> | |||
The anomalies can spawn anywhere in [[highsec]], with a heavily increased probability of spawning near [[trade hubs]] (Dodixie, Jita, Amarr, Rens and Hek<ref>Added in patch 2024-06-26.1</ref>) and [[Career Agents]] constellations. The spawns for each type are independent<ref>They do not share a pool (CCP Rampant)</ref> and the total number for each type in Gallente space seems to be 18, in Caldari space 17, in Minmatar 14 (without newly added in Hek) and in Amarr 28<ref>Research by Mednik Breau using Agency per region.

As a result, many sites can build up in these systems, which reduces the number available in other parts of the region. To resolve this, simply enter the unwanted sites with any ship. Once activated, their timers will run down, the sites will fail, and new ones will respawn elsewhere in the region. | |||
