Sites of Anoikis : C4 Systems
Background[edit]
With the appearance of unstable wormholes in YC111 the small galaxy of Anoikis opened up to capsulers. After a period of time CONCORD settled on a classification system for the various systems located in this “wormhole space”. Ranging from C1 to C6, the standard wormhole systems see progressively more deadly, and interesting, sites.
Expedition Highlights[edit]
Wormholes, Sleepers, and Drifters[edit]
The Anoikis galaxy lacks stargate links between stellar systems. In place of static links, as in New Eden, randomly shifting wormholes provide connections between stars. These links are by their nature short lived and random leading to an ever shifting stellar landscape.
Within Anoikis there are two main classes of sites - Anomalies and Cosmic Signature. Anomalies can be reached simply by warping to the site. Cosmic Signatures, on the other hand, require scan probes and a reasonable probe strength to isolate from the background noise.
When modern humans reached Anoikis they found that others had already been here for millennia. The majority of sites appear related to the Sleepers. An ancient Jovian offshoot, believed to have originated during the crisis of the 1st Empire, has sites scattered across Anoikis. A few sites, however, appear associated with the Talocan. These enigmatic human offshoots were masters of spatial manipulation and hypereuclidian mathematics. Where the Talocan are now is a mystery.
It should be mentioned that closely associated with Sleepers are the Drifters. Drifters, apparently modeling themselves after the 2nd Jovian Empires Tyrants, can appear in Anoikis and present a clear and present danger at all times.
Entering and moving about Anoikis[edit]
Ship Recommendations and General Travel Advisory[edit]
While EvE-Scout’s Thera service can provide entry and exit information to wormhole systems, the brief and random nature of these links makes travel into Anoikis in a non-scanning ship perilous.
Signal Cartel recommends visitors use either a Zephyr or some sort of covert ship like the Heron, Astero, Helios or Stratios. The ability to scan and cloak is invaluable in both finding systems and cosmic signatures. Furthermore, a cloak is an excellent tool for avoiding encounters with Sleepers, Drifters, or Capsuleers.
The Zephyr allows for pilots to remain uncloaked in Sleeper sites and to enjoy flying in formation with the guardian drones. The ship is fragile and provides only a probe launcher. For unknown reasons Sleeper drones seem to accept this ship as one of their own. Drifter ships do not. Since the Zephyr does not allow cloaking, pilots should be alert at all times.
Travel within Anoikis, with its delayed local, can feel empty and ominous. Capsuleer corporations do attempt to enforce sovereignty within wormhole systems. To this end, fast moving interdictors, and static warp bubble modules, can be encountered. Signal Cartel recommends a positive attitude, clever flying, and active use of d-scan on wormhole exits and entrances.
The locals are almost always appreciative of a wave in local. o/
Frontier Barracks[edit]
Frozen in what looks like the moment this site met its end, numerous broken metallic crystal asteroids appear to be crashing into the Sleeper Enclave. Two battleships roam between asteroids and the remains of the site.
Frontier Command Post[edit]
On entering here pilots are greeted by both Argos sentry towers and a swarm of frigates. The site appears simply as a well preserved example of an encircled enclave. However just above the site sit two to four rotating rings. Pilots familiar with low security space may recognize a kinship with the Ring just off the Access gate in Angur.
Integrated Terminus[edit]
Sleeper cruisers and frigates float in space but a number of sentry towers are anchored to the surface of the large Sleeper Archive module in this site. The archive remains quiet but looming overhead is a massive Talocan structure made up of a central Polestar, two inert Static Gates and numerous conduits and hubs.
Sleeper Information Sanctum[edit]
A small mixed fleet slips through the glowing gases surrounding this striking Sleeper site. The Sleeper Enclave is found bracketed by 2 Engineering Stations humming with defence and data subsystems.
Data/Relic Cosmic Signatures[edit]
Requiring scanning equipment these sites tend to lie within 4 AU of the various celestial sites in Anoikis systems. The distinction between Data and Relic sites lies in the ancient remnants found scattered about the sites.
Data Sites[edit]
Unsecured Frontier Digital Nexus[edit]
The Sleeper fleet present here tends to sit just off the coaxial, partial, ring structure near the snaking remains of mined out asteroids. On occasion Talocan ships can be present here as well. Like the Sleeper site, it too is bathed in the blue/white glow of small. glowing whiter objects that float about the locale.
Unsecured Frontier Trinary Hub[edit]
This Talocan Polestar sits wrapped in a soft blue glow lighting the heart of a vast dust cloud. It sits alone aside from a few Sleeper frigates and a lone battleship.
Relic Sites[edit]
Forgotten Frontier Conversion Module[edit]
A large fleet of Sleeper ships sit here above stacked rings of Thermoelectric Converters and Preservation Conduits. Just off to the side sits the wrecked superstructure of some sort of stellar construct.
Forgotten Frontier Evacuation Center[edit]
A battleship and a handful of frigates move though the gas clouds surrounding this pinwheel structure. The Sleeper Enclave possesses a delicate ring of Multiplex Forwarders and Preservation Conduits. What this evacuation site's role was and to where the evacuation was headed seem to be lost to time.
