Wightstorm Forward Base is a highsec combat anomaly that appears inside Volatile Ice Storms during the Winter Nexus event in 2020, 2021 and 2023.

View of a Wightstorm Forward Base.

If a capsuleer is present at the Forward Base it will appear in the Overview of every capsuleer in the same System.

Enemy ships can warp to tactical bookmarks and often target drones. They deal EM & Thermal damage with lasers, and Kinetic & Explosive damage with missiles, similar to their Incursion counterparts. Frigates have a 50k ISK bounty, Cruisers 125k, and the Battleship 1M. Only the Battleship drops loot.

Similar to other event sites post-2019, the site is doable with a well fit Battlecruiser with application support. One of the event challenge texts recommends a T2-fit Battleship.
