The State Research Data Node is a data site that can be scanned down for the Shipcaster Shadow War.

Scanning down the site

The site appears as a data site and is found in the Aokinen constellation, in the Minnen constellation, and in the factional warfare systems controlled by the Caldari.

Only T1 and Navy Faction frigates can enter these sites. Asteros are unable to enter, same goes for any Covert Ops Frigate.

Entering the site

Icon warning.png WARNING: Upon entry you will be given a suspect timer, meaning you are a viable target for attack by other players.
Icon warning.png WARNING 2: These NPC rats will warp scramble you, web you, neut you, and warp disrupt you. If you are undertanked, you will die.


Inside the site there will also be a number of frigate NPCs spawning. 5 groups of 5 frigate NPCs will spawn in waves while running the site. The groups will contain a number of Crow Mercenaries and Cheetah Mercenaries.

Crow Mercenary
These ones warp disrupt and try to keep range, but a regular afterburner should be able to catch up to them
Cheetah Mercenary
These come in close range and do considerable damage with webs, warp scramble, and neuts.

Site contents

Site will contain about 10 data nodes that can be hacked.
