This is a combat site that can be scanned down with probes, and can be found in low security space in the Amarr regions.

The site is behind an acceleration gate. Warping to the side lands you at 0 on the gate.

This site is rated DED 6/10. 3 Battlecruisers and a Battleship ran this site easily.

The Site Itself

According to reliable sources within the Amarr Navy, this deadspace complex is currently occupied by a large contingency of Crimson Hand cultists. Intelligence indicates that the Crimson Hand, a militant splinter group of the Bloodraider Covenant, is currently engaged in a massive military buildup. While their continued alliance with Omir Sarikusa is in question, they do seem to be planning something big.

DED Threat Assessment: Serious (6 of 10) Warping to the site lands on an acceleration gate at 0.

Room 1

Gate 1
This is a waiting area for trusted black market traders that come here to trade goods (mostly slaves and weaponry) with the Crimson Hand. Security in the area is fairly light, since this is not really a part of the base proper. Caution is still advised, since the area is usually crawling with lowlife scum from every corner of the galaxy.

5x Sentry Guns
16x Destroyers (Crimson Squire/Gistior Defiler/Seizer/Devoter)
3x Battleship (Crimson Paladin)

Acceleration Gate is 60km away. Blowing up the Gate Security structure gives you a key which is not needed for the gate.

Industrial Sector

Industrial sector:

Registered visitors entering this sector should report to the outpost security office as soon as they arrive. Failure to do so will be considered an act of aggression and handled with lethal force.

Urgent!!!

To all military personnel: Intruder alert! Report to battle stations immediately!

2x Stasis Webifier Towers
7x Sentry Turrets/Cruise Missile Batteries
8x Destroyers (Crimson Squire)
5x Battleships (Crimson Elder) (neut)

Acceleration gate 40 km from landing. Enemies spawn 25-60 km from landing. Red container may drop Blood Raider Cruiser A-Type Module, and contains an unnecessary key to the acceleration gate.

Central Processing

Central Processing:

The center point of the Crimson Hand depot, this area provides protection and access control to the more sensitive supply areas of the complex. Visitors are not allowed past this point unless they have been granted clearance by a senior officer. No exceptions will be tolerated.

Warning!!

Be advised. Industrial sector has been compromised. Sentinel personnel, report to battle stations. Battle group Alpha and Beta, prepare to engage hostiles. Other battle groups stand by for further orders.

12x Battleships (Crimson Paladin/Elder)
1x Sentry (Crimson Sentinel, repairs full armor and most shields every few seconds, webs to 50 km. Save it for last, even with massive DPS it takes a long time to kill)

Rats spawn 50-60 km from landing. There are two acceleration gates 48 km from landing leading to the last two rooms of the complex.
If all player ships are greater than 60 km from the Crimson Sentinel, it won't repair its armor damage. It still repairs full shields every few seconds, but it can be killed more easily this way.

Supply Sector

This area is the primary supply sector for Crimson Hand battle groups in this system. Incoming personnel should report to their appropriate supply stations. Personnel assigned to the Command sector should go to the Administrative Offices on level 34 of the Supply Tower.
