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.

Please note: Various pirate ships will do light EWAR - Tracking Disruption.

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. "

Pocket 1

Initial Group

12x (Sentry) Centus Point Defense Battery

2x (Frigate) Centii Facility Patroller (Trigger Wave 2)

Shooting one of the Patrollers triggers wave 2, which spawns the Centus Slave Commander. The other Patroller will spawn wave 3. You only need to kill the Centus Slave Commander to unlock the gate.

Wave 2
Message in local channel:

"The Patroller calls on more guards as he is attacked!"

1x(Frigate) Centii Plague

2x(Cruiser) Centum Juggernaut

1x (Cruiser) Centus Slave Commander (Trigger Gate unlock)

Wave 3
Message in local channel:

"The Patroller calls on reinforcements from a nearby pocket as he is attacked!"

2x (Frigate) Centi Butcher

2x (Frigate) Centum Beast (Tracking Disruption)

Message in local channel:

"Someone has entered the vicinity of the acceleration gate, and has awakened the Slave Commander! Prepare for a fight, unless you have the means to bypass the gate's security system."

"Centus Slave Commander: Fool, you've overstepped your welcome here. Minions, defend your master!"

This actually does not trigger the commander, shooting the correct Centus Facility Patroller does this.

Message in local channel:

"Something in the nearby gate 'clicks' as the Commander is destroyed."
