Volatile Ice Storm

Volatile Ice Storms have begun to appear across highsec, lowsec, and nullsec space. These ice storms spread out across the stargate network two jumps from a central system, and occasionally move from system to system just like metaliminal storms. These storms provide bonuses to ship thermal resistances and module overheating for all capsuleers flying within them.

Sansha's Nation and Outer Ring Excavations have both mobilized to take advantage of the novel forms of stellar ice found within these storms.

Ice Storm Filaments

Ice Storm Filaments transport capsuleers to a System affected by the Volatile Ice Storm.

Area / Ship Count	1	5	10
Highsec	DSHR-01H	DNCR-05H	PRNCR-10H
Lowsec	DNNR-01L	BLTZN-05L	RDLF-10L
Nullsec	VXN-01N	CMT-05N	CPD-10N

Combat anomalies

Wightstorm combat anomalies have begun appearing within the Volatile Ice Storms. These sites are full of hostile Sansha's nation vessels, and CONCORD advises capsuleers to bring a battlecruiser or better when attempting to engage with these forces.

Wightstorm Forward Base

Found within storms that originate in highsec space appears to be guarded by the weakest Sansha fleets.
