The short version

  • 5 days, cross-server, guild + individual. About 30 minutes per session.
  • Only the strongest guilds on the server qualify. The guild must be 7+ days old with 20+ members; you need Energy Core level 15+.
  • Admins set two squads of 20 + 10 substitutes. At most 20 per guild are on the battlefield at once.
  • Occupy Vaults, and hold them through Awakening: that's where rankings are decided.
  • Follow the three commanders' signals (ATTACK / DEFEND / RALLY).
  • Rewards: Component Modules, Guild Vouchers, speed-ups and Valor Coins.

Stages

Stage

What happens

  1. Qualification

Open to the guilds with the highest power on the server

  1. Deployment

Admins assign Squad One and Squad Two (20 mains + 10 subs each). Rosters are set before the timer; latecomers don't get a slot

  1. Battle I: Occupation

Park your flagship near a Vault to capture it. More fleets = faster capture

  1. Battle II: Awakening

Every 5 minutes Vaults go into a Brief Awakening lasting 4:30; the owner at the end gets huge points

Final hit on a rival garrison

The map

Objective

Value

Outer Rim Outpost

Your spawn and respawn point. You can't be attacked inside its range. Use it to regroup

8 Lesser Vaults

Steady small points + Awakening bonus

2 Central Vaults

Big steady points + a huge Awakening bonus

[FR] Infinity's advice: holding 4–5 Lesser Vaults beats fighting over one Central Vault for an hour, but commit both squads to the Central Vaults during Awakening.

Combat rules

  • Fleets aren't destroyed, but manual repairs are disabled.
  • Defeated fleets respawn at the Outpost with a speed boost.
  • Admins appoint 3 commanders whose signals show up as notifications and mini-map markers for everyone.
