I ask for help, and they send me a capsuleer. You are a capsuleer, aren't you? An immortal pilot who subverts the rules of life and death, who shapes the fate of empires? You'll have to excuse my skepticism.I work with a humanitarian organization, the Sisters of EVE. I've seen your kind hasten the deaths of millions every day. You expect me to believe that you're different? To prove yourself, your actions will have to do the talking.We've just received a distress call from a ship called the Damsel, and you're the closest aid available right now. Get out there and save some lives. Prove to me you're not just another murderous liar with a god complex. With all the power at your disposal, you certainly could be a force for good. And one thing is certain: Good is in dire need of allies these days.

The Blood-Stained Stars is an introductory Epic Arc that can be completed in a community fitted "Tech 1 SOE Epic Arc" [[Destroyer]].
  
'''Objective'''
+
Note that mission rewards listed in this walkthrough are '''not''' affected by the {{Sk|Negotiation}} skill, but the standings gains (for various corporations during the arc, but mostly Sisters of EVE, and for the empire faction of your choice at the end) are affected by the {{Sk|Social}} skill. The arc does not give Loyalty Points.
Approach the wrecked ships. Location: 0.8 Manarq
 
  
'''Rewards'''
+
Also, note that you sometimes can not interact with the mission [[NPC]]s you meet floating in space if you are a member of a fleet (tested with the "Retribution" expansion). Only after dropping fleet will the option "start conversation with..." become available.
The following rewards will be yours if you complete this mission: 100,000.00 ISK
 
  
The following rewards will be awarded to you as a bonus if you complete the mission within 3 hours, and 56 minutes: 141,000.00 ISK
+
You will also receive an important storyline mission for every 16 missions (by type) you complete for the epic arc. These are optional but provide benefits if completed.
  
'''Finding the Damsel'''
+
Though the epic arc requires a lot of traveling as well as being very long, it is completable in a single day.
Sometimes objects and entities found in space are not displayed in the default overview settings. Adding "Large Collidable Objects" in Celestials and "Large Collidable Structures" in Entities to the overview can reveal details such as object names.
 
  
'''Notes'''
+
NOTE: The Blood-Stained Stars can be restarted after every 3 months (90 days), no matter if you failed or completed it the last time.
Very easy mission - no danger. Just fly to the center of the wrecks.  Check out the dreadnaught wrecks - they're interesting to see.  You can do this mission in a shuttle, if you want.  You can complete this mission remotely when you achieve the objective.

We got some interesting information out of your trip. It seems no one fired on the Damsel. Something must have happened inside the ship.We'd like you to track those survivors down, see if you can get any information about the ship's path, pilot, or cargo. We need to know what caused this disaster.CONCORD is the first logical step. I’ve gotten in touch with CONCORD Agent Tevis Jak, who may have information for you. His location is being uploaded to your NeoCom: he's currently acting as an ORE agent. Go see if you can find a piece of this puzzle.

The epic arc contains missions with moderate combat and lots of traveling. The best ships for doing the arc are destroyers as they have high firepower while also being fast. Common choices are {{sh|Thrasher}}, {{sh|Catalyst}}, {{sh|Cormorant}}, and {{sh|Coercer}}. A [[Tactical Destroyer]] will make this arc extremely easy, and due to its high speed and agility will be the fastest option as well. For older pilots with more training, a T3D will be the best option.  
  
'''Objectives'''

The second last mission "Our Man Dagan" is especially notorious for its hard to kill boss. You may want to bring modules with you to refit for higher DPS for this mission. You will also need 150{{m3}} of cargo space for mission 19 in the chain.

Yeah, I picked up the crew that outlived that explosion – pretty massive, whatever it was. I'll see if I can track down the facilities they were sent to if you can do me a favor. A bunch of pirates have been scavenging the explosion site. Go and take them out for me. It shouldn't be too much trouble for a capsuleer, and you might even find some extra information. Hell, you can probably get it done in the time I'll need to look up the rest of this data. Damn legacy systems...

"Remember the strange datacore you found? We've determined that it must have been made by rogue drones of some kind..."

The Blood-Stained Stars is the Sisters of EVE Epic Arc which takes place all over New Eden in High Security Regions.

The Blood-Stained Stars is an introductory Epic Arc that can be completed in a community fitted "Tech 1 SOE Epic Arc" Destroyer.

Note that mission rewards listed in this walkthrough are not affected by the Negotiation skill, but the standings gains (for various corporations during the arc, but mostly Sisters of EVE, and for the empire faction of your choice at the end) are affected by the Social skill. The arc does not give Loyalty Points.

Also, note that you sometimes can not interact with the mission NPCs you meet floating in space if you are a member of a fleet (tested with the "Retribution" expansion). Only after dropping fleet will the option "start conversation with..." become available.

You will also receive an important storyline mission for every 16 missions (by type) you complete for the epic arc. These are optional but provide benefits if completed.

Though the epic arc requires a lot of traveling as well as being very long, it is completable in a single day.

NOTE: The Blood-Stained Stars can be restarted after every 3 months (90 days), no matter if you failed or completed it the last time.

Ship choice

The epic arc contains missions with moderate combat and lots of traveling. The best ships for doing the arc are destroyers as they have high firepower while also being fast. Common choices are MinmatarThrasher, GallenteCatalyst, CaldariCormorant, and AmarrCoercer. A Tactical Destroyer will make this arc extremely easy, and due to its high speed and agility will be the fastest option as well. For older pilots with more training, a T3D will be the best option.

The second last mission "Our Man Dagan" is especially notorious for its hard to kill boss. You may want to bring modules with you to refit for higher DPS for this mission. You will also need 150m3 of cargo space for mission 19 in the chain.

Rewards

Completing the missions gives money but no LP. The more lucrative reward is the faction standing boost you get from the final mission. +0.7 to the empire faction of your choice with no derived standing changes (+0.875 with Social V). This is especially useful to those who have ruined their standing to below -2.00.
