Tocsin Vault

A vault event: you hack the vault while waves of ships defend it. Since Beta Patch 2 · Hotfix 9, every Tocsin Vault rolls a rarity as it spawns: Normal, Augmented, Prototype or Regalia, with the same odds as a cargo container. Its name shows in that rarity's colour, and the rarer it is, the stronger its elites and the better its loot odds.

Elites by rarity:

Normal: a final elite with 1 modifier.
Augmented: one ship per wave becomes an elite with 1 modifier; the final elite has 2.
Prototype: one elite per wave with 2 modifiers; the final elite has 3.
Regalia: one elite per wave with 3 modifiers, and two final elites with 3 each.

The payout comes out in one loot burst, with the rarity bonuses a cargo container of the vault's rarity would get. Since Hotfix 9 a Tocsin Vault drops no Regalia cargo container.

Raising a vault's rarity: until its first hack completes, right-click a modifier item in your cargo, then click the vault's selection box from within 1,200 units.

Hermes augmenter: Normal to Augmented.
Norn overclocker: up one rarity, Prototype at most.
Laplace Probability Matrix: Normal to Prototype.
Tyche's catalyst: Normal to Regalia 15% of the time. When it fails, the vault is destroyed and drops nothing.

These are their effects on a vault; on a module or hull each item works as its own page describes.
