Forgotten Ruins is a very rare combat relic site found only in the Delve region, especially in the OK-FEM constellation. Up to T2 Battleships can enter the site, and it often features large groups of Rogue Drone and Blood Raider rats. This combat site is harder than many lowsec and nullsec ones, and should only be attempted by skilled players.

Walkthrough

The site is similar to the Bloated Ruins and Wispy Ruins. Try to avoid triggering two waves at once, as the site can then become very difficult.

Warp-in

Upon warp-in
Pirate Grave Robber: The ancient ruins in here are taken buddy. Leave now and maybe we'll let you go in one piece.

The rats at warp-in are passive unless attacked, but have to be destroyed to unlock the gate.

First Pocket (Terrace)

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.

This room contains rats from the Blood Raider pirate faction.

Second Pocket (Portal)

Forgotten Ruins - Portal

This pocket is optional.

Database information
Charred remains and debris litter the area. A confrontation between the pirate scavengers and rogue drones must have taken place some time in the past, as the empty drone bunkers and ruined pirate ship carcasses would indicate.

In local
As you come out of acceleration you notice the resemblance of a space rift in the distance.

In local
Corpus Relay Commander: They've found the portal! Destroy them before they escape!

Third Pocket (Hall)

Forgotten Ruins - Hall

On warp-in
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.

There are 6 Floating Debris containers that must be hacked with a Relic Analyzer before getting access to their contents.

Structures

		WD	EWAR	L
	1 x Gate to Sanctum
	6 x Floating Debris

Smartbomb trigger
Someone has triggered an ancient land mine! All ships inside the blast radius take damage.

Fourth Pocket (Sanctum)

On warp-in
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 Drone Creation Compound fires Citadel Explosive torpedoes that deal very high Explosive damage. Recommend at least 70% resists to Explosive damage.

Initial defenders

There are 2 Ancient Ruins containers that must be hacked with a Relic Analyzer before getting access to their contents. Hacking can trigger a spawn of Blood Raiders (4xBS,3xCruisers). Approaching a container can also trigger an explosion.

Smartbomb trigger
Huge bursts of energy and material spurt from the ancient ruins as someone approaches them. Some kind of ancient technology seems to have been put in place to protect the ruins. Your ship takes damage 3000!

Hive has an active tank that requires about 400-500 DPS to break. Rare chance Kasham Murdec arrives. No loot.
