CROSS-SERVER EVENT · FOUNDATION: GALACTIC FRONTIER

Shadowfront

Vaults filled with Imperial relics drift through the Dark Outer Rim. Up to four Commerce Guilds deploy Flagships to occupy them — every five minutes an Awakening Window pays out points to whoever holds a vault.

About this diagram — no official battlefield artwork is published for this event. This is a schematic reconstructed from community event guides (linked below), showing the zone structure and vault counts as described. Exact positions and geometry vary by server and season.

Illustrative layout — four Guild Outposts ring the boundary, eight Lesser Vaults occupy the middle band, two Central Vaults sit at the core. Dashed line shows a sample Flagship deployment path from an Outpost.

Central Vault

Outer Rim Outpost

Guild spawn and respawn point. Flagships inside its range cannot be attacked — regroup here between pushes rather than turtling.

×4 on the map · one per Guild

Lesser Vault

Continuous points plus a modest Awakening bonus every 5 minutes. Best held by spreading Flagships across several at once.

×8 on the map

Central Vault

Much larger continuous points and Awakening bonus. Worth a committed, defended squad during each Awakening Window.

×2 on the map
TIMING

Awakening Windows

Vault ownership is scored every 5 minutes. Whoever holds a vault when the window fires banks its bonus — arrive early, not exactly on time.

STAGE FLOW

Qualification → Battle Stage I → II

Shadowfront runs cross-server across a Qualification round and two Battle Stages, with the map and stakes escalating each stage.

TACTIC

Concentrate, don't split

Guides consistently warn against thinning Flagships across too many vaults at once — mass on the Central Vaults for the Awakening Window, then redistribute to Lesser Vaults between windows.
