Cynosural System Jammer

Cynosural system jammers are POS modules which prevent cynosural field generators from operating. The exception is covert cynosural fields which can be deployed in jammed systems (though highsec is still off-limits to all cynosural field generators). The term for a system that has an online jammer module is a 'cynojammed' system.

Sovereignty requirements

To deploy a cynosural field jammer, the system must have a sovereignty level greater than or equal to three held by the alliance of which the deploying corporation is a member.

Limits on other POS modules in system

Only one jammer can be anchored at any one time per system. The result of this is that an incapacitated module must either be repaired to operational status or must be destroyed before another jammer can be deployed and onlined. In system sieges, this mechanic can be used to prevent defending parties from simply bringing in another jammer to defend a system after the attackers incapacitate the first jammer.

As the function would suggest, Cynosural Generator Arrays do not function in systems which are cynojammed. Jump Bridge modules still function, and after a system is jammed bridges remain the only way to bring capital ships into a system, making capital sieges of cynojammed systems potentially extremely difficult as subcapital attackers may have to deal with capital ships and fighter supported subcapital fleets in their assault of a system.
