Sites of Anoikis : C6 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/
Combat Anomalies[edit]
Class 6 systems present 4 combat centric sites. Current capsule technology allows immediate identification of these sites and does not require any form of scanning.
Core Bastion[edit]
Nestled in a glowing cloud from a broken arm, this Sleeper Enclave is strongly defending with multiple sentry towers, and a patrolling fleet of frigates, cruisers and battleships.
Core Citadel[edit]
Either time or some unknown force has left this Sleeper Enclave broken but still functional. Patrolled by a trio of Sleeper battleships, caution is advised when approaching.
Strange Energy Readings[edit]
An impressively intact Sleeper Enclave is bracketed by two Thermoelectric clusters and a fleet of Sleeper drones. The typical emission gas cloud is present but so are 2 smaller blue clouds over the power clusters.
Aurora suggests a massive, and recent matter displacement event could be linked to the clouds.
The Mirror[edit]
This is a stunning rosette of 8 Sleeper Enclaves wrapped by Thermoelectric and Interlink modules. The Mirror site lends credence to the current consensus that the Sleepers are a Jovian remnant. The site has 3 Enclaves dedicated to genetics (Biogenetics, Virtual and Theoretical), along with a Medical, Archive, Security and Communication Enclaves and a uniquely named Oruze Enclave.
Pilots may be able to untangle some Enclave specific information when they approach each enclave module.
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 Core Backup Array[edit]
Similar to the Forgotten Core Circuit Disassembler, this site is strongly guarded and appears in a more intact state. Again coaxial partial rings are linked by numerous Multiplex Forwarders and Thermoelectric Converters and sit in a localized gas cloud.
Unsecured Core Emergence[edit]
Exhibiting the classic Sleeper Enclave ring this site is illuminated by the local emission cloud and is guarded by a swarm of frigates and sentry towers.
Relic Sites[edit]
Forgotten Core Assembly Hall[edit]
A fascinating site. Parallel lines of Sleeper thermoelectrics Converters are lit by a roiling energy field and gas cloud nestled in the center of the site. Nothing indicates what possible role this site played though the feeling is one of a naval assembly yard.
Forgotten Core Circuitry Disassembler[edit]
Guarded by sentry towers and a small fleet, coaxial rings of Sleeper Preservation Conduits and Thermoelectric Converters humm silently in space. This site provides yet more clue to Sleeper Talocan interactions in Anoikis as some sites will have abandoned Talocan ships station keeping with the Sleeper Ruins as seen in the image provided in this TripTik.
