1420:A Hermit's Retreat

Eram
Set Eram as a destination or waypoint and configure your settings for a shorter or safer route depending on preference.
There's no beacon. You can get to the site by warping to Eram IV - Moon 2 or by scanning down static signature TEJ-255. Both options take you straight to the first pocket. Activating the acceleration gate to access the second room of the site requires hacking the Blasted Neon Sign in the first pocket and looting Logut's Keycard. A data analyzer is necessary. The hack itself is very easy with a 50-coherence green core. There are no rats other than a weak frigate in the second pocket that won't aggress. This is a single-waypoint hisec expedition, so there's not much danger other than the odd ganker. The system also contains Arek’Jaalan Site One: Antiquus, another lore site to check out.

Introduction

Ever wanted to get away from it all? This cozy retreat might be the place for you!

Locations

• Eram IV - Moon 2 or Cosmic Signature TEJ-255 "A Hermit's Retreat" (L2 Combat)

The Minmatar are no stranger to the usefulness of off-the-grid facilities, where high-profile individuals can lay low from criminal elements and enemy factions. This retreat, located off the second moon of Eram IV, is one such facility, allegedly overseen by the Republic Security Services. The entrance to this hidden site is concealed in a decrepit-looking deadspace pocket, with a lookout posted in a small abode built into an asteroid. An acceleration gate leading to the complex is controlled by a security system cleverly hidden within a nearby blasted neon sign, which still has enough juice to play corporate advertisements on its damaged screen. A data analyzer is needed to gain entry to the hidden retreat.

The second room houses the retreat itself, which consists of a large number of well-maintained habitation modules dotted around the pocket, offering a great view of Eram's sun. A more worn-out habitation structure at the far end of the site houses Logut Akell, a Vherokior shaman who uses the retreat to meditate in peace. As a Minmatar shaman responsible for performing Voluval rituals, he's a fairly high-profile figure who many parties would love to get their hands on. His daughter, Dari Akell, can be seen cruising around the habitation module in her Maulus. Another acceleration gate leads back to the first room of the site.
