Mission briefing
We need that book, and that RSS agent has it. This is my worst fear realized: Karkoti Rend was trying to get his hands on the book. The RSS claims that he was working alone, but I don't know how true that really is. Either way, I've tracked down his location to a nearby Angel Cartel base. This compounds the urgency of this mission. I barely trust the RSS as it is, but the Angels are outright scum. Go get the book from there, but make sure it's safe. The book is of the utmost priority!

Accept the Mission remotely.

Ungated semi-deadspace pocket within 2-4 jumps of the previous mission. You can warp around freely.

Blitz: kill Karkoti Rend, loot the Book Of St. Arzad and warp out.

Tips:

Destroy the EWAR Angel Energy Neutralizer Sentry II first as it has 250 km range and drains 20 GJ/s
Karkoti Rend's Battleship projects 500 DPS up to 150 km away (decreasing with distance) and approaches at 1000 m/s if over 40 km away. Damage split is ~ 28% EM / 11% Kinetic / 61% Explosive.
Karkoti Rend has similar EHP to a Gist Seraphim (~45s to kill with a T1-ammo cruise Praxis), so it's best to focus him directly after the tackle frigates and neutralizer to quickly blitz the mission.
When you kill Karkoti Rend, all other ships will warp out.
Incoming damage will be quite variable depending on the ship types that predominantly spawn. EM and Explosive damage are the most prevalent overall, though.

Karkoti Rend (upon initiating warp)
I had a feeling that you would try to track me down. Not a wise decision. Not only are you outnumbered here, but I have the book. You wouldn't want anything to happen to it, would you?

Karkoti Rend (after aggro)
Do you even know what the Book of St. Arzad says? I don't think you're ready for its revelations. Nor do I think the Republic is ready for it. But they've turned their back on me, so I'll make sure the truth is exposed. The history books will be rewritten, and I will be a very rich man.

Upon killing Karkoti Rend
The truth is a weapon and must be wielded with care. That was my greatest mistake: I could not handle its power. The khumaak is just a thing, an empty item; this book holds the true power. Use it wisely, but understand what it is saying. It could change everything.
