The pirate main base is a more advanced PvE target connected with pirate-event mechanics. Its combat state is created and settled by dedicated PvE logic rather than being treated like a normal player planet.
What exactly does this feature do?
Inter-War creates a target snapshot using the local ship and defense definitions of the current universe. This keeps the base aligned with the parameters of the world where the event actually runs.
How does it work in practice?
Before attacking, use PVE Spy and confirm that the base is still an active target. At settlement, the server validates target and fleet state again, so an old report or previously opened Galaxy screen does not reserve the opportunity to attack.
What does the server validate?
Treat the main base as a separate PvE stage from ordinary stations. Do not assume identical difficulty, composition or rewards without checking the active event and the data shown in game.
When is it useful?
PvE is settled inside the active universe and uses that universe’s local ship, defense and combat definitions. Values known from another world should not be assumed to be identical. Inter-War resolves the encounter with the local catalog used by that universe.
What should you watch out for?
Before a PvE action, check the current target state, your fleet and active bonuses. A simulator can help with planning, but the real mission result is settled by the server.
