Sansha Vanguard Fleet
The intelligence department has learned that the radical Sansha faction has made significant breakthroughs in wormhole technology and is planning a raid across the entirety of New Eden. Unlike the conservative Sansha faction in the Stain Region, the radicals focus more on enhancing the performance of their warships. They will deploy the latest assault carrier, the "Ascendant," to participate in the battle.
Currently, the Sansha Vanguard Fleet is assembling and is about to traverse wormholes to conduct preliminary reconnaissance across all regions of New Eden. Capsuleers can search for the Sansha Vanguard Fleet in nearby systems and defeat them to obtain generous loot.
The Sansha Vanguard Fleet is classified into Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large based on their size. Their commanders have established Acceleration Gates on the outskirts of each fleet. Activating these gates is the only way to reach the fleet's center. To avoid being ambushed, these gates only allow ships of the same tonnage or lower to accelerate, and their energy is limited, making it impossible to transport large fleets within a short period.
Note that the Sansha fleet moves through wormholes, and Sansha Capital Ships may appear even in high sec systems. Additionally, the radical Sansha warships boast superior performance, so Capsuleers piloting low-tonnage ships are advised to avoid them.
Main Rewards:
Get damaged structures of the new assault carrier, new modules, and new rig blueprints from their supply crates or wrecks.
Receive Empire Merits and LP when destroying certain enemies with ranks.
Operation Duration:
The tactical department estimates that this Sansha reconnaissance operation will last for two weeks, after which the radical Sansha faction will dispatch large-scale fleets to raid specific constellations.

New Ship: Ascendant
"My will shall become the blade in your hands. Now, go and bring true order to this crumbling universe."
This Assault Carrier, secretly constructed by the radical faction of Sansha's Nation, is the perfect embodiment of Sansha ideology: it is not just a warship but also a mobile citadel.
Equipped with a Capital Shield Field that provides protection to the surrounding fleet, it also inherits the excellent resistance and mobility typical of Sansha ships. Additionally, through an advanced laser fire control system, it enhances the destructive power of lightweight ships equipped with laser weapons, turning them into swords for executing the sacred purge mission.
How to Obtain:
By destroying the Ascendant Carrier of the Sansha Vanguard Fleet, you can obtain their damaged ship structures. These structures can then be reverse-engineered to acquire the blueprint, which can be used for Manufacture.
(Hint: Although the vanguard fleet primarily focuses on reconnaissance and has fewer Capital Ships, its combat capabilities are formidable. It is expected that more Sansha Capital Ship fleets with even stronger combat capabilities will arrive on the battlefield in approximately two weeks.)

Capital Defense Module
Added new Capital Shield Field modules and Armor Link modules, which can only be fitted on defensive Capital Ships that support this technology.
Such types of extra large shield field and armor link require massive energy support. Once activated, they reduce the ship's firepower and repair efficiency but significantly increase the effectiveness of remote repairs received.
Supported Ships:
Shield: Phoenix Bodyguard, Naglfar Bodyguard, Lucent-Moon, Ascendant
Armor: Revelation Bodyguard, Moros Bodyguard
(The Lucent-Moon's armor reconstruction system does not currently support armor link technology)
How to Obtain (Construction): There is a chance to obtain blueprints from the Loot Crates of extra large Sansha Vanguard Fleets. Once the blueprints are acquired, Manufacture can be used to obtain the modules.
How to Obtain (Combat): A small proportion of Ascendant Carriers in the Sansha Vanguard Fleet are equipped with the shield field modules. Destroy them for a chance to obtain these modules.

Signature Dampener
A type of ship signal adjustment module. Similar in principle to the Signal Amplifier but with completely opposite effects: when fitted, it passively reduces Signature Radius and Sensor Strength. When activated, it significantly enhances these effects but also reduces its own Scan Resolution. The activation duration is short, making it suitable for specialized tactics.
How to Obtain: It can be acquired by defeating enemies from the Sansha Vanguard Fleet.

Tracking Enhancer
A ship fire control system enhancement module. This module has a high operational priority and enhances the computational power and stability of the fire control system from its core. Once fitted, it continuously occupies a certain amount of capacitor and Powergrid output. It does not require activation and cannot be disabled by interference.
Thanks to this operation mode, the Tracking Enhancer not only improves turret range and tracking speed but also enhances the ship's scan resolution and resistance to targeting interference.
How to Obtain: It can be acquired by defeating enemies from the Sansha Vanguard Fleet.

Public Cynosural Field Generator
A new type of Cynosural Field Generator that, when activated, creates a Cynosural Field Beacon for other ships' jump drives to lock onto. To achieve higher signal strength and stability, this signal is broadcast in an unencrypted form on public channels, allowing all ships to detect and jump to it. Exercise caution when activating it.
This generator was originally obtained by intelligence personnel from the Sansha radicals. Its principles are not difficult to grasp, but it requires ships that support this technology for fitting. Currently, only Marshal ships and Sansha's new battleships (no acquisition method available yet) support this technology.
How to Obtain: Manufacture them based on the blueprints obtained via reverse engineering.

Capital Fighter Bay Optimizer
This rig adopts a "honeycomb" layout, which increases the fighter bay capacity of carriers. Thanks to its accompanying new automatic loading system, carriers equipped with this rig benefit from faster fighter loading speeds.
How to Obtain: Type I blueprints can be obtained from Sansha's vanguard fleet supply crates and manufactured, while Type II blueprints can be obtained via reverse engineering and manufactured.

Capital Jump Drive Booster
This ship rig incorporates the latest advances in Sun Chaser Engine research. Once fitted, it extends jump lock range and reduces engine energy consumption, thereby increasing the maximum jump distance achievable by both the ship’s jump drive and Sun Chaser Engine.
How to Obtain: Type I blueprints can be obtained from Sansha's vanguard fleet supply crates and manufactured, while Type II blueprints can be obtained via reverse engineering and manufactured.

New Construction Module
New pirate detection modules and base detection modules, which can be fitted on all Corporation Outposts and Fortizars.
Specific models are as follows:
Pirate Detection Module: Maximum detection count for Cosmic Anomalies within the system +4/+6/+8. Normal Cosmic Anomaly discovery chance +10%/+20%/+30% (New Feature)
Base Detection Module: When detecting Pirate Bases and Normal Cosmic Anomalies within the system, Security Level -0.2/-0.4/-0.5. Normal Cosmic Anomaly discovery chance +1%/+3%/+5%. Special Cosmic Anomaly detection time -1%/-3%/-5% (New Feature)

Related Corporation Tech Updates:
Pirate Detection Array Enhancement: New Bonus added: Normal Cosmic Anomaly discovery chance +5% (Lv10). Maximum detection count bonus during Structure Reinforcement removed.
Base Detection Array Enhancement: New Bonus added: Normal Cosmic Anomaly discovery chance +5%. Special Cosmic Anomaly detection time -5% (Lv10). Base upgrade time bonus removed.

How to Obtain:
How to obtain: You can purchase blueprints for new construction blocks on the market and manufacture them. (Primary costs: minerals, intermediate materials, and ISK)
Construction Blocks cannot be upgraded. You can directly manufacture their level II or level III versions.
In most cases, directly manufacturing level II Construction Blocks can match or even surpass the bonus effects of the original level III add-on structures, while reducing energy anchor point occupancy by 10. Level III Construction Blocks offer stronger effects overall, but are significantly more expensive to build.

Other Related Adjustments:
The above two types of detection array add-on structures have been deprecated: they can no longer be manufactured, anchored, or upgraded. However, they can still be dismantled, unanchored, and reprocessed. Their market blueprints have been removed, and they can be destroyed.
With the introduction of new detection modules, adjustments have been made to the discovery chance of certain Cosmic Anomalies: Large Cosmic Anomaly discovery chance increased/Advanced Prosecutor Cosmic Anomaly discovery chance increased/Normal Prosecutor Cosmic Anomaly discovery chance decreased (approximately 5%). Pirate Base natural respawn rate reduced (It is recommended to avoid destroying the bases).

Please note that when multiple Structures or Fortizars within a system are equipped with detection modules, only the strongest detection effect will apply. Detection bonuses are effective for the entire system and are not limited by the Corporation ownership of the Structures.

New Features
Nanocore Interface Reset
The layout of the Nanocore Home Screen has been modified, along with adjustments to the Nanocore attributes and SKIN display list. In the "Comprehensive Bonus" page of the attribute display, unlocked Nanocore attributes will now be automatically categorized and show the cumulative bonuses, making it easier for Capsuleers to view and calculate attributes.
Redesigned the Nanocore display list and integrated Nanocore-related functionalities into the Home Screen for easier use.
Optimized the performance of the Nanocore interface, improving loading speed.

Nanocore Secondary Attribute Refactoring Optimization
When Capsuleers perform 25 secondary attribute refactoring, attributes above overclocking level (attributes at 80% or more of the max limit) are guaranteed to spawn, including critical attributes (attributes at 100% of the max limit).
Note: If attributes above overclocking level appear early during the refactoring process, the count will reset.
New interface effects are added when attribute values reach critical attributes.

Market Price Trend Chart
Added a transaction price trend chart for items in the market interface, allowing users to view the weekly transaction prices of an item over the past two months.
The average transaction price algorithm now excludes orders with prices far beyond the normal range, but slightly abnormal transactions are not removed. Prices are for reference only.

Balance Adjustments

Consolidated market display categories for Shield Field Modules and Armor Link Modules of different tonnages.
Added Capital Shield Field and Armor Link Modules, with performance significantly differing from standard models. Details can be found in the new module descriptions. Faction-specific Shield Field and Armor Link Modules now feature unique faction characteristics.

Combat
When recovering drones or fighters, if their weapons are still active, a maintenance period will be required after recovery until the systems restart. Only then can they be launched again.
Destroying Capsuleer Outposts, Corporation Outposts, and various affiliated structures may yield a certain amount of structure operational data. The amount obtained is related to the manufacturing cost of the structure. The operational data can be transported to the market for sale.
When a Lance weapon hits a Carrier, it can also disrupt its remote energy system, reducing the damage of its fighters (Previously, only direct hits on the fighters themselves could reduce their damage).

Structure
The Corporation Tech bonus for energy anchors is now effective for Reconnaissance Outposts and Frontline Outposts as well, with effects equivalent to a level 1 outpost bonus.
Adjusted the rig slots for Level 4 Corporation Citadels and Fortizars to 6+6.

New Event
Interstellar Bazaar: Winter's Dream Gift
Event Time: November 26, 2025 08:00:00 - January 7, 2026 08:00:00
The sea of stars slumbers in winter’s dream, boundless, hushed, and eternal. The Interstellar Bazaar - Winter Slumber Gift is now open. The event's theme music, "Winter's Dream Gift," is being broadcast in the station. Click to view the Snowshard Nanocore ship showcase, discover new content in this version, and claim great rewards.

Snowshard Nanocore
The brand-new "Snowshard" series Nanocore is now available. Their special mode will apply multiple debuffs to the target. If the same debuff is applied multiple times, its effect will be enhanced.
Special Mode "Snowshard." Reactivation Delay: 200s
Upon activation, your ship and Drones gain a 10% Damage boost and a 25% increase in flight speed. 3 random debuffs will be applied to the current target. If 2 or more identical debuffs are applied, the debuff will automatically upgrade and its effect will be enhanced. The debuff lasts for 30 seconds.
Debuff types and their effects at each level:
Frost: Disables the target's engine, reducing flight velocity by 20%/40%/60%.
Snowfall: Disables the target's weapon systems, increasing weapon activation time by 10%/20%/30%.
Iceshard: Weakens the target's defense systems, reducing final resistance by 1%/2%/3%.
Note: If multiple ships activate the mode simultaneously,
their debuff levels are calculated independently for each ship and does not stack.
Higher-level debuffs will overwrite lower-level effects, rendering the lower-level debuffs ineffective.
For debuffs already in effect, subsequent applications of the same-level debuff will not refresh the debuff duration.
Due to significant power level differences, regular ships cannot apply debuffs to Capital Ships or higher-class vessels.
How to Obtain (Limited Time): Obtain from the Interstellar Bazaar series events

Snowshard Missile Weapon Effect
When Capsuleers unlock all secondary attributes of the Snowshard series Nanocore and equip it, using missile weapons will trigger a pixel-style snow and ice effect. If all secondary attributes are refactored to their critical values, a superior weapon effect will be unlocked.
