Description

From the CCP news article announcing this event:

“

To coincide with the end of Gathering Storm and the release of the new EDENCOM ship line, the Lightning Strikes event will run from 11:00 UTC on 15 June to 11:00 UTC on 29 June. With secret Upwell Covert Research Facilities in lowsec and parts of nullsec having come under attack and been destroyed by Rogue Drones, Capsuleers can enter the sites and face off against the Rogue Drones, looting the Upwell tech from the wreckage. In addition, each event site offers the chance of spawning a rare escalation that can be investigated for additional rewards. Rewards include manufacturing and invention materials, Skill Books, and more related to the new EDENCOM ship line.
