Wispy Ruins is a combat relic site involving both combat and hacking. It appears to Probes as a scannable combat site. Unlike most combat sites, it is only found in the Feythabolis nullsec region, specifically in the I-3ODK constellation. A dedicated combat ship like the Vargur is highly recommended for this site. Avoid taking frigates into the site, as the smartbombs in the third and fourth pockets can easily destroy any frigate. The smartbomb damage can even be high enough to destroy a cruiser. Pirates from the Rogue Drones and Angel Cartel are featured.

Walkthrough

There are four rooms in this complex but only three need to be completed. The second stage(Portal) can be skipped since the central deadspace pocket can be accessed more quickly by taking the other gate in the first pocket.

Warp-in

3 "Pirate Grave Robber" Angel Battleships are present on warp-in. You will land at a locked acceleration gate to the Terrace.

First Pocket - Terrace

Database information
DED deep space scouts briefly explored this strange site and left behind a rather cryptic note. As far as you can tell some ancient ruins lie within, but who built them or what treasures might lie buried there are anyone's guess.

The acceleration gates deeper into the complex are guarded by three groups of rats. They can be aggressed separately. The named battleship(Angel Raid Commander) triggers reinforcements. The acceleration gates are not locked, and the room can be skipped.

Second Pocket - Portal

Database information
Charred remains and debris litter the area. A confrontation between the pirate scavengers and rogue drones must have taken place some time in the past, as the empty drone bunkers and ruined pirate ship carcasses would indicate.

This room is optional. Gate to next room(Hall) is not locked.

Third Pocket - Hall

Database information
A large force of drones has taken up residence in this area. They obviously benefit greatly from salvaging the remnants of the former inhabitants, which still litters this patch of space. A drone presence this large could not be formed without an abundance of raw materials.

This room has Rogue Drone rats as well as hacking containers.

In local(smartbomb trigger)
Someone has triggered an ancient land mine! All ships inside the blast radius take damage.

Fourth Pocket - Sanctum

Database information
The source of the drone infestation seems to lie in this deadspace pocket, located inside a fiery nebula. The extreme and hostile environment, accompanied by a very heavy drone presence, seems to have kept most of the looters away, as two fully intact ancient ruins would indicate.

The Sentinel Chimera Strain Mother has a strong active armor tank and many structure hitpoints, as well as a strong web that reaches out to 50 km. It fires Mjolnir XL Torpedoes that hit rather hard. It is recommended that you bring a friend or two to take it down.

Initial defenders

		WD	EWAR	L
	12 x Elite Cruiser Strain Bomber/Atomizer/Nuker/Disintegrator Alvum
	15 x Battleship Alvus Creator/Supreme Alvus Parasite/Patriarch Alvus
	1 x Sentry Sentinel Chimera Strain Mother
	6 x Sentry Tower Sentry Drone III

Reinforcements(Hive Mother armor damage)
The Drone Hive Mother has deployed Drone Cruise Missile Batteries along with more drone ships!

Reinforcements(armor damage)

		WD	EWAR	L
	9 x Battleship Alvus Queen/Matriarch Alvus
	4 x Sentry Drone Cruise Missile Battery

In local on Hive Mother destruction
The Hive Mother has been eliminated, and the buzz of drone communications slowly calms down. Some drones machines may still be active, but at least their numbers will no longer be replenished by the frenzied replication process inside the Drone Mother.

WARNING: Smartbomb waves from the Ancient Ruins containers can exceed 10,000 points of damage. HIGHLY RECOMMEND a strongly tanked ship(like a well-fitted T3C, Battleship, or Marauder).

Structures

		WD	EWAR	L
	2 x Ancient Ruins
	Gate to Portal

Smartbomb trigger
Huge bursts of energy and material spurt from the ancient ruins as someone approaches them. Some kind of ancient technology seems to have been put in place to protect the ruins. Your ship takes damage!

Commander wave
Orkan Zoken: Looks like they've approached the ancient ruins and have started the excavation process! They'll never know what hit 'em, and the treasure will be OURS! Nyahaha.

Ships appear
A large group of pirate ships has appeared!
