Incursions in highsec are a very profitable activity for any pilot based in a community that runs continuous fleets. A normal fleet running vanguard sites can make about 100 million ISK per hour running sites; more advanced fleets have the potential of making 170+ million ISK per hour. Some of the public communities who specialize in and exclusively run the larger headquarter sites can easily break 400+ million ISK per hour. Incursions also give you CONCORD loyalty points, which increases your income even more.

{{quote|Then the wormhole let out a searing burst of white light, and they came through, bulbous metallic vessels covered in wicked, uneven spines. Hundreds poured from the shimmering portal, covering light years of distance in a single instant to cloud the skies above the helpless planet. Almost fishlike, darting in loose formation and changing direction simultaneously, they spread out in all directions. With synchronized releases of focused electromagnetic blasts, they smoothly wiped all defensive structures and communications satellites from orbit. For many people on the surface, the sudden glare of golden laser beams lancing across the night sky was the first sign that Sansha’s Nation had arrived.

When it had secured the entire lower orbital altitude, the armada held position until a second wave of ships emerged from the wormhole. These new vessels were different, though, lacking the bulky warp drives that took up so much space in the combat vessels; instead, their cavernous cargo holds had a very specific purpose, housing rows and rows, layer upon layer of holding cells designed to store humanoid “passengers”. The ships dropped through the atmosphere unimpeded, by squadrons, a perfectly orchestrated meteor shower.}}

Whenever a constellation suffers an incursion, the normal "rats"--NPC enemies found at asteroid belts--and the rats that spawn in ice belts will be replaced by Sansha Incursion rats. These NPCs will be much stronger, tougher, and deadlier than your run-of-the-mill Sansha Mission rats and mining ships; weaker combat ships will stand no chance against them. The rats that spawn in ice belts tend to be larger cruiser- or even battlecruiser-sized ships.

Due to the normal rat spawns being replaced and the constellation penalties added, certain activities are disincentivized. For example, it's very inefficient to run [missions]], because your income from bounties is cut in half. [[Mining]] is also unwise, as the belts are now haunted by powerful Sansha's rats, and all static belts in the staging system are turned into [[Nation Industrial Proxy]] Staging sites. [[Exploration]] however, can often be done without much trouble; just don't linger too long in a finished site as Sansha's rats will eventually spawn there too.

The [[Constellation layouts for Incursions]] page contains a list of all <b>known</b> Incursion Constellations and third-party pages such as [https://evemaps.dotlan.net/incursions dotlan] and [http://incursions.shadowlauch.de/ Shadowlauch] show active incursions. Although incursions move at random, it is fairly easy to avoid them.

Since Sansha rats are much tougher than normal rats and may prove difficult for lone ships or poorly equipped fleets to handle, inexperienced pilots should avoid incursion systems in low- and null-security space.

The mothership site can occur as early as within the first {{co|lightgreen|established}} stage; all that is needed is that the influence falls to 0% and a single headquarters site is run. Once the mothership has been sighted, the incursion can be ended by destroying the mothership at any time. As such, there is no guaranteed longevity for incursions, other than the brief period before the mothership site is unlocked (which can be mere hours).
