This site will require proficiency in mining, drones, repair, and capacitor transfer. After an initial setup period of 90 seconds, asteroids from beyond the rift will appear and a timer will begin. The site will progress through a total of 9 waves divided into three tiers. The enemy fleet compositions will become more difficult and the wave timers become shorter with each tier.


{{Main|Homefront operation}}
During each wave, a random Abyssal [[Abyssal Deadspace#Weather Effects|Weather]] effect will begin and 12 asteroids will spawn in fixed locations. Each asteroid contains 30 ore ([[Media:Admixti mutanite description.jpg|Admixti Mutanite]]), each with a mass of 4{{m3}}, for a total of 120{{m3}}. The presence of these asteroids causes an anti-warp [[Tackling#Warp disruption fields|bubble]] until all 12 are depleted.

== Abyssal Artifact Recovery in different empires ==
These sites have no regional differences.
 
== Hostiles ==
Each wave spawns an enemy fleet belonging to one of three factions: [[Sleepers]], [[Rogue Drones]], or [[Triglavian Collective|Triglavians]]. Fleet compositions are randomized and may include logistics, capacitor neutralizers, and other forms of [[EWAR]]. Enemies persist until destroyed, so maintaining a minimum level of [[DPS]] is essential to avoid being overwhelmed.
 
Each wave{{Verify|title=Or is it each faction?}} will focus one target and switch periodically as a group.
 
Asteroid belt rats can spawn in the room, as with other sites that involve mining. These rats are the same faction and threat as any that will spawn in the same system's asteroid belts. They will not share room targets with any of the site NPCs, and they are of little danger. They do not despawn with the site, however, so if you plan to later bring a hauler or salvager it may be good to kill them before you leave.

Not counting any of the Triglavian Artifacts that are recovered from the caches: 
* Unaligned Dekaisogen: 500,000 ISK each, sold to NPC buy order
* Fluctuating Entropic Regulator: 200,000 ISK each, sold to NPC buy order
* Spectral Emission Slices
 
Total Admixti Mutanite ore amount per site is 3240units (12960{{m3}}), with an ISK value of 16,200,000 ISK. The mutanite can only be sold to NPC buy orders. In practice, you may get more or less than this as a result of residue and crits.
