Ancient Ruins is a combat relic site only found in the Catch nullsec region, especially in the 9HXQ-G constellation. Up to T2 Battleships can enter this site. This site appears to probes as a combat site.
The site is very rare and hard, and should only be attempted by skilled players. Sansha's Nation and Rogue Drone rats are present in this site. Omni tanks are highly preferable, especially EM and Thermal damage. Damage in the site can easily become excessive if care is not taken in managing triggers.

Extra:

  • Bounties: approx. 60-70M isk + bounty adjustment payout
  • Loot: approx. 50M isk
  • Salvage: approx. 20M isk

Walkthrough

In local 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.

You land at the acceleration gate at warp-in

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 is an optional room. It can be skipped and take the gate to Hall instead to progress further in the site.

Warpin
As you come out of acceleration you notice the resemblance of a spatial rift in the distance.

Acceleration Gate 1 x Gate to Hall 0km from warp-in, locked until everything is destroyed

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. There is no limit to how many times the hacking of Floating Debris can be failed but it decreases the chance of getting valuable loot at each fail.

Initial defenders
WD EWAR L


Elite Frigate 8 x Elite Frigate Strain Barracuda/Devilfish/Silverfish Alvi/Hunter Alvi
Battleship 10 x Battleship Alvus Creator/Patriarch Alvus

Ektar Ssrath: Minions, now is our chance! It looks like the fools have approached the debris and started the excavation process, whatever they are about to discover in there will be OURS!
Structures
WD EWAR L


Hackable Structure 6 x Floating Debris Needs a relic analyser to crack it open Can trigger a smartbomb wave when approached or by failing the hacking Possible salvage materials, T1 and meta gas scoop, learning implants
Acceleration Gate 1 x Gate to Sanctum Locked until all ships are destroyed, 0km from warp-in
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 very little damage and has a moderate tank. It will trigger new waves as it is destroyed so be sure to kill a new wave before continuing shooting the Hive Mother or you'll be quickly overwhelmed.

Initial defenders

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.
