Abyssal Artifact Recovery Miner
Abyssal Artifact Recovery Miner

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.

During each wave, a random Abyssal Weather effect will begin and 12 asteroids will spawn in fixed locations. Each asteroid contains 30 ore (Admixti Mutanite), each with a mass of 4 m3, for a total of 120 m3. The presence of these asteroids causes an anti-warp bubble until all 12 are depleted.

Mining the asteroids can also expose Faulty Triglavian caches containing artifacts. These caches are time-limited structures and must be destroyed quickly to recover their contents.


A wave is cleared only if all asteroids are depleted before the timer ends; otherwise, the site fails. The warp disruption bubble remains until every asteroid is mined. Each completed wave pays out based on its difficulty tier.

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 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] 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.

WARNING: After the 9th and final wave, a 60-second evacuation timer begins. When it ends, a Drifter response fleet led by Tyrannos Basileus will arrive in overwhelming force. No vessel can survive the Basileus battleship’s superweapon.
