"For over a century the mighty Amarr Empire has been at an uneasy peace with the enigmatic Sansha's Nation. But the Sansha are pushing further into Amarr space without warning or explanation. Ministry of Internal Order agent Kandus Sandar enlists you to be his primary investigator, to uncover plots and annihilate threats as only a capsuleer can."

Requirements

To start the Amarr Epic Arc you must have standings of 5.0 or higher with the Ministry of Internal Order corporation or the Amarr Empire faction. In addition to being comfortable with level 4 missions, you should have the Hacking skill trained and bring a Data Analyzer module.

Rewards

During this Epic Mission Arc you will decide whether to work for the Amarr Empire or for Sansha's Nation. The Amarr Empire will award you

  • +10% Amarr Empire faction standing (12.5% at Social V)
  • 1 x Imperial Navy Modified 'Noble' Implant

Sansha's Nation will award you

  • +10% Sansha's Nation faction standing (12.5% at Social V)
  • 1 x Sansha Modified 'Gnome' Implant

After you complete the arc, be sure to check that you have received the faction standing increase, because there have been many cases of people not receiving the increase. If your standing has not changed, file a petition. It may help to include a link to CCP Dropbear's post in the old forums.

Enemies

You will face mostly Sansha's Nation and Amarr Empire ships, so you should tank your ship approximately equally against EM and Thermal damage, and ideally you would do EM damage (Thermal secondary). Some of the battleships' missiles do Kinetic damage, but this is relatively insignificant. In one mission you will encounter Mercenaries in Mordus ships and should refit for Kinetic/Thermal resistance and damage for that mission.

Most frigates you encounter are able to web and warp scramble, but this behavior is inconsistent. Many of the cruisers and battleships and a few of the frigates have tracking disruption, and you should expect to encounter this in every combat mission. Also, in some of the missions there is neuting, but anything serious should be mentioned in the summaries below.

Other Comments

Rewards are listed using Negotiation III, but even so bonuses will vary.

Beginning the Arc

Right to Rule is started by speaking with Karde Romu. You can accept remotely so no need to go to the MIO Agent beacon in the Kor-Azor Prime system, one jump out of Amarr. ("Beacons" and "Agents in Space" must be visible on the overview.)



Mission: Aiding an Investigator

Amarr epic 15.jpg
Type: Encounter (no combat)

Destination: about 13 jumps, back closer to Nishah

If you get a lowsec destination, there's no combat so you can travel in a shuttle.

Destinations Seen: Masanuh, Jeni, Khafis, Annad, Fensi, Danyana, Saloti

Note: If the route from Mission 15 to Mission 16 takes you through or near the Palas system, it may save time to leave your combat ship in Palas and continue to the Mission 16 destination in a shuttle or rookie ship.

Summary: Travel to destination, and watch the explosion.

An Unfortunate End

Type: Courier

Destination: Palas (about 6 jumps)

Summary: Travel - no cargo.

Panic Response

Amarr epic 17.jpg
Type: Encounter (Sansha's Nation)

Summary: Engage in combat, and meet one of several conditions to rout the enemy.

Tips:

  • Incoming damage is low, but the Neutralizer Sentry has a lot of HP and neuts pretty effectively. If you have an active tank and your dps isn't really high, consider fitting a cap booster so you'll be able to warp out if your capacitor is drained.
  • Destroying the last ship of a particular hull group (e.g. frigate, cruiser, etc.) will spawn a duplicate group. This will repeat a specific number of times.


Initial Group
Template:NPCTableFoot The Sentry Group will spawn several seconds after warp-in.
