How valuable are these escalation sites

I have just recently started running combat anomolies. I got a escalation to a "SANSHA MILITARY OPERATIONS COMPLEX" but if it doesn't pay really good I don't see where it is worth flying a PvE ship 7 jumps through null into an area I've never scouted before.

The description looks like it may be too hard for me to run alone as well.

So what kind of payoff does it give, worth the added risk and time?

Googling the name will get you the info you need. Not sure what you are currently flying but that is a 7/10, a properly fit/skilled cruiser can complete it, but I don't think you are there skill wise. It can be worth it if the loot fairy smiles on you.

Well I got the escalation running a Sancha Port, which I completed easily in a Hurricane. Oddly I found Sancha Hidden Rally Point to be more challenging, although it is supposed to be easier.

I did read the stuff on the web, just didn't see any mention of what isk reward can be. And that is how I thought that it might be a bit much for me to take on, each wave seems to have a lot of each class of ratship (double) compared to the Sancha Forlorn/Hidden/Forsaken Rallypoints and the Sancha Port which are the only anomalies that I've attempted in the cane. Those I can manage armor rep and cap, not sure I can get my cap to last long enough to eliminate most of the bc, cruisers and frigates. Battleships aren't such an issue, they don't seem to be able to hit me if I can get within 15 km. But I might not be able to tank the BSs either long enough to get under their guns if they spawn too far away, although I guess I've managed 8 in one of the other anomolies.

I don't think it matters if you warp out of this site, so assuming you are not being hunted by PVP folk, you should be able to complete it, it will just take forever.
