Alliance War Targets

Alliance War Targets (Current)

Background[ | ]

VEGA Mining has stripped entire sectors to the brink of extinction, causing stars in the strip-mined sectors to become unstable, hence the name Unstable Sector. Larus has managed to obtain key codes for certain Wormholes, allowing the Miner Rebellion passage into the Unstable Sectors.

During Alliance War, a wormhole leading to the Unstable Sector will materialize. Rebels can use this wormhole to travel to and from the Unstable Sector.

There, they will find abandoned Mining Outposts which they can lay claim to in order to generate Solar Shards, which unlocks higher tiers of the event store.

The Unstable Sector is also a frequent gathering place for Marauder Clans, and they constantly fight each other in brutal clan wars. They also frequently clash with the rebels who come to lay claim to the Mining Outposts and their Solar Shards.

As of the 5th Alliance War, Marauder Pillagers have begun to roam the Unstable Sectors. They Spawn from Collapsing Stars and travel to wormholes.

Mining Outposts[ | ]

Solar Mining Outposts are abandoned Mining Outposts originally owned by VEGA Mining and can only be found in the Unstable Sector. They can be captured by rebel alliances. Once taken over, they will start paying out Solar Shards every 5 minutes; the amount increases with the level of the Outpost. Do note that higher-level Outposts are much rarer, and that competition is fierce!

To capture a Solar Outpost, a player from the alliance must completely destroy it. The Outpost fully repairs itself after each battle, so it must be taken down in a single attack. Do note that unlike other NPC Targets, Mining Outposts follow PvP Gating rules.

There exists a multiplier that increases the number of Solar Shards collected from the Solar Outpost the longer you hold it, up to a maximum of x8. However, if an enemy alliance steals the Outpost and you do not recapture it within 10 minutes, it gets reset to x1.

Multiplier	Time to Next Multiplier	Cumulative Time Captured
x1	5 minutes	0 minutes
x2	5 minutes	5 minutes
x3	10 minutes	10 minutes
x4	10 minutes	20 minutes
x5	30 minutes	30 minutes
x6	30 minutes	60 minutes
x7	30 minutes	90 minutes
x8	Max	120 minutes

Multiplier	Time to Next Multiplier	Cumulative Time Captured
x1	10 minutes	0 minutes
x2	10 minutes	10 minutes
x3	10 minutes	20 minutes
x4	Max	30 minutes

Note that Solar Outposts continue to pay out Solar Shards and increase their multipliers even while being attacked, so it is viable to ping-pong the same Outpost between two different alliances.

Occasionally, a Solar Outpost becomes unstable. When that happens, it will collapse in 30 minutes (10 from 3rd Alliance War onwards). From the 3rd Alliance War onwards, the shard multiplier is also set to x4. Upon collapsing, it outputs a one-off amount of bonus Solar Shards (25x overall as of 3rd Alliance War). It subsequently deactivates and will not produce any Solar Shards until it eventually repairs itself. The owner of the Outpost is also reset.

Note that if a Mining Outpost is under attack when the collapse timer reaches zero, the bonus Solar Shards will go to the victor of that battle, whether that be the original owner or the attacker.

Below shows the icons that represent the various statuses of the Mining Outposts.

Status	Icons	Description
Unowned		Defeat this Mining Outpost to capture it and start mining solar shards for your alliance!
Owned		Congratulations, your alliance has captured this Mining Outpost! The longer you hold it, the greater your mining multiplier as the equipment spools up to maximum capacity.
Recapture Window		An enemy alliance has stolen this Mining Outpost from you! Recapture it during the recapture window to avoid losing your mining multiplier.
Collapsing		There's smoke coming out of the control panels. The good news is, this Mining Outpost is producing loads more solar shards. The bad news is it's about to blow up!
Collapsed		This Mining Outpost is out of commission but repair drones are slowly repairing its modules. It may come back online before the sector collapses.

Marauder Targets[ | ]

After the 5th Alliance War, Marauder targets, starting with Marauder Pillagers spawn from collapsing stars and travel to wormholes. They consist of a mixed group of Marauder Ships.

All ships deal Void Damage, and thus, Marauder Hulls are the best suited to dealing with them. Oddly, even though they are NPC Targets, they do not have extremely high Void Resistance, only the innate resistances to each hull.

With the late June 2019 update, the fleet levels for many T6-T7 targets have been rebalanced. Here were the old levels before the update and their corresponding new ones.

Old Level	New Level (+/-1)

Trivia[ | ]

The Mining Outposts follow the PvP Gating, making them the first NPC Targets to do so.
The Mining Modules provide a glimpse as to the type of base Modules utilized by VEGA Mining and to a certain extent, the VEGA Federation.
The Marauder Pillagers are the first Marauder NPC Target to be introduced, and this is odd, as Marauders are a PvP Faction, and fighting them in NPC combat should have been unlikely. They have gone through numerous design iterations as well.
Despite their description, the Marauder Juggernauts are singleplayer and are arguably easier than the Pillagers as they have fewer ships in the fleet.
