Sig. Strength	Escalate from Desolate Site

This is an escalation found by completing Desolate Site signatures. It may contain up to four parts, each of which will be about 4 jumps from the previous system. The first three will be in high-sec space, while the fourth will be in low-sec.

The sites do not have gates, and can be easily completed in a cruiser.

Part 1

On warp in:
Heuristic analysis of this location indicates that attacking the Trash Construction would greatly improve your odds of uncovering further illicit activity.

A few small drones, and one sentient drone. The escalation appeared after I killed a few of the drones - and before killing the sentient drone (timer?). Strain infester alvi warp scramble/web.

		WD	EWAR	L
	6 x Frigate Sunder/Devilfish/... Alvi
	2 x Frigate Strain Infester Alvin
	0-1 x Destroyer Sentient Devilfish Alvin

Two additional spawns triggered by killing ships from initial spawn

First spawn

		WD	EWAR	L
	4 x Frigate Barracuda/Devilfish Alvi

Second spawn

		WD	EWAR	L
	2 x Frigate Silverfish Alvi

Message on dead end:
All the drones have been obliterated, no clues are offered on where more can be found and your expedition seems to have come to a dead end.

Part 2

Similar to first, killing sentient drone first triggered escalation. There is at least one reinforcement wave.

Part 3

Fewer rogue drones, and killing the sentient drone once again triggered the escalation. As a bonus, you get to see a great big red cube in space. The Borg turned more evil?

Part 4

This part will be in a low-sec system.

(took me two jumps in). 5 small rogue drones waiting on warpin, and 5 "Drone Hold" cans. Completion popup happened after blowing up the first wave and starting to open cans. Strain Splinter drones can warp scram and web, they should be priority. Two reinforcement waves later appeared, with a Rogue Mining Overseer dropping T2 salvage (as loot?). One of the Drone Hold cans contained some drone goo (Dark Compound, Condensed Compound), but overall fairly worthless stuff (Confirmed).

Rewards

Each part has a commander rat which, when killed, will drop T2 salvage and Rogue Drone components. Lootable cans may contain drone alloys.
