The reason is: Needs to be linked with the main event page when it is written. No concrete info on site mechanics after wave 7. What do the nanoswarm structures do?

Rampant Drone Fabricator is a cosmic signature that appears in low security space, wormholes and Pochven during the Gallente Election YC128 event. The site appears as a combat site of level II scanning difficulty.
The site has three "tiers" of difficulty depending on location. The easiest variant is in C1-C3 Wormholes, the medium difficulty one in lowsec, C4s and Pochven, and the hardest difficulty is in C5-C6s.
Site mechanics
The site is an ungated single pocket, not deadspaced. The most prominent landmark of the site is the Rampant Drone Fabricator, which will be at 0 on the warp-in and projects a visible area-of-effect field of ~50 km that prevents smartbombs and micro jump drives from being used.
The site will progress through 30 waves of hostile Rogue Drones of increasing strength. They all do purely EM/Thermal damage, and a lot of it as well. They follow the same resist profiles of normal K-Space Rogue Drones (weak to EM/Th, strong against Kin/EX). The drones have a behavior and naming convention very similar to those in homefront operations, shown below:
| Prefix | Role |
|---|---|
| Corrupted | Drone aggro |
| Alienator |  Webs
|
| Blackout |  ECM
|
| Cascade | DPS [Verify] |
The site is considered complete when all 30 waves are cleared and/or the Rampant Drone Fabricator is destroyed by the player. The Fabricator is invulnerable by default and can only be damaged for a short 20 second interval after the current wave of Rogue Drones is defeated. The structure itself has ~15000 shield and armor and very low structure hitpoints with 0 resists. It will slowly accumulate loot over time with each successive wave and it must be destroyed to retrieve the loot. The wreck itself will also project its own separate disruption field that disables warping and cloaking near it - the wreck must be destroyed to leave the site quickly.
