Bloated Ruins

Bloated Ruins is a very rare relic site involving combat as well as hacking, found by scanning in Nullsec. It is only found in the Wicked Creek region. Rats from several factions are present here. Up to T2 battleships can enter the site. Damage in the site can easily become excessive if care is not taken in managing triggers.

Walkthrough

The warpin contains a few rats.

Database information
DED deep space scouts briefly explored this strange site and left behind a rather cryptic note. As far as you can tell some ancient ruins lie within, but who built them or what treasures might lie buried there are anyone's guess.

Third Pocket(Hall)

Database information
A large force of drones has taken up residence in this area. They obviously benefit greatly from salvaging the remnants of the former inhabitants, which still litters this patch of space. A drone presence this large could not be formed without an abundance of raw materials.

Rogue drones are present in this room. Floating Debris containers require a Relic Analyzer to access.

Initial defenders

		WD	EWAR	L
	8 x Sentry Drone Cruise Missile Battery
	8 x Elite Frigate Strain Barracuda/Devilfish/Silverfish Alvi
	10 x Battleship Alvus Creator/Patriarch Alvus

Upon destroying one of the missile batteries
Drones have been deployed from the Drone Bunkers in response to the attack on the sentry guns!

	1 x Gate to Sanctum

When smartbomb wave is triggered
Someone has triggered an ancient land mine! All ships inside the blast radius take damage.

Fourth Pocket(Sanctum)

Database information
The source of the drone infestation seems to lie in this deadspace pocket, located inside a fiery nebula. The extreme and hostile environment, accompanied by a very heavy drone presence, seems to have kept most of the looters away, as two fully intact ancient ruins would indicate.

The Hive Mother does not have very strong tank but triggers several waves of defenders that can possibly overwhelm an unprepared explorer. The smartbomb wave from the Ancient Ruins is strong enough to instantly destroy any frigate not prepared for it.

In local (upon destroying the Hive Mother)
The Hive Mother has been eliminated, and the buzz of drone communications slowly calms down. Some drones machines may still be active, but at least their numbers will no longer be replenished by the frenzied replication process inside the Drone Mother.

Containers and structures

		WD	EWAR	L
	2 x Ancient Ruins
	1 x Gate to Portal

Smartbomb wave triggered
Someone has gone too close to one of the ruins and triggered an ancient hidden explosive. Energy and material spurts in all directions, and all ships caught in the blast radius take damage!
