Superior Guristas Covert Research Facility

☠

EXTREME DANGER — GHOST SITE

Failing a hack detonates ONLY that container for 12,000 explosive damage in a 10 km radius — enough to outright kill most frigates/destroyers and badly hurt cruisers. Since the mid-2025 hacking rework, a guaranteed 30-second VISIBLE countdown starts once the hidden timer (roughly 30 seconds to a few minutes) runs out, and faction rats warp in the instant that visible countdown begins — not when it ends. Warp out or cloak the moment you see rats land; they have no bounty and drop nothing, they exist purely to kill you.

⚠Wormhole ('Superior' tier) ghost sites are identical in container count, hacking difficulty and explosion mechanics across every class from C1 to C6 — going deeper changes your travel risk, not the site itself. Loot is heavily blueprint-RNG dependent, so treat the listed ISK value as an illustrative average, not a guaranteed payout. Bring a Covert Ops/cloaky hacking ship; decloaking only at the can and re-cloaking between hacks is the standard way to survive a bad roll. Guristas missile boats engage from 60+ km with thermal damage on top of the standard 24 km warp disruption — the longest reach of any ghost-site faction. Staying outside 10 km does not make you safe.
