Sansha Watch is a deadspace combat site that is occupied by the Pirate Faction known as Sansha's Nation. It can be found by Probing for exploration sites in high security systems within Amarr and Ammatar space. For location details see Pirate Faction Occupancy Chart.

This combat site consists of 2 different areas accessed by an Acceleration gate. The gates will permit Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, Battlecruisers and their Tech 2 counterparts.

Pirate ship classes encountered within this combat site are Frigate, Destroyer, Cruiser and Battlecruiser class. The names and amount of ships appearing may vary slightly from what is listed here.

Warp in message:

"Previous explorers have commented that one of the gates requires a passkey. Alternatively, it can be bypassed by convincing the commander to unlock it. The overseer guards the Mind Control Tower vigorously. "
