'''Wightstorm ~~Forwards~~ Base''' appears during the [[Winter Nexus]] event.

}} '''Wightstorm Forward Base''' is a highsec combat anomaly that appears inside Volatile Ice Storms during the [[Winter Nexus]] event in 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2025.

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.

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, Battlecruisers 250K and the Battleship 2M. Only the Battleship drops loot.

~~=== Warp in ===~~

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]].

=== Warp-in ===

(2025) The warp-in may feature a Sansha's Transit Modulator container, which you can use to deposit a Cryostorm Clarifier to replace the normal boss with a harder, tankier variant that deals more damage, has more HP and gives higher rewards. After the Acceleration Gate is used, the modulator will be disabled and the site unable to be modified.
