Winter Nexus

Winter Nexus is an event held from 09 December 2021 to 4 January 2022 (downtime to downtime) and includes Volatile Ice Storms which feature Wightstorm Sites, 13 Days of Nexus Login Campaign, the Winter Nexus Agency Challenge, the Yoiul Chilling Spree Daily Campaign, and Yoiul Festival-themed Abyssal Proving Grounds.

Volatile Ice Storm

The view inside Wightstorm Forwards Base. The snowing effect is visible in all systems affected by the storm.

Volatile Ice Storm is a Metaliminal Storm that moves between High, Low and Null Security systems. The center system and its neighbors experience the Strong effect, while systems 2-3 jumps out from the center get a Weak effect. Volatile Ice Storms can overlap. The sites spawned depend on the security status of the center system (e.g. a low security system in a highsec-centered ice storm will have highsec sites).

Effect Weak Strong
