Mission briefing
Obviously, the Sansha need to be cleared from our wormhole site. If you can prove yourself on this, chances are I'll be able to request more assignments to give you. We have early reports of more problems abroad, so I'm sure we can keep you moving from target to target out there.

Single gated deadspace pocket.

The next wave may not spawn instantly after previous one has been destroyed. All subsequent waves after wave 4 seem to spawn on timers and will often appear while the previous wave is still alive.

The mission can be completed and the next mission accepted remotely.

Mission briefing
Okay, the exploration team is away. If the Serpentis eggheads are right, they should arrive in Fountain securely and in record time. Speak of the devil. I'm getting a report that one of our shipments coming back from Fountain just got hit by Guristas. It's always something. There's a salvage crew nearby that can pick up the tech, but they aren't equipped to handle Guristas. If you clear out the Guristas, I can send in the recovery team. As always you'll be well paid.

Relics of Past Greatness
The Jove left Curse behind long ago. Their ruins in the form of stations and forgotten outposts. Centuries later the Angel Cartel moved. The Angels have managed to scavenge a good deal of information from these Jovian relics. This is most obviously reflected in Angel ships, which bear striking designs and unique capabilities. But the Cartel has yet to understand more than a fraction of the old Jovian technologies. Even the Serpentis, whose research capabilities surpass the Cartel's by leaps and bounds, have great difficulty even understanding the principles of Jovian engineering.

Single gated deadspace pocket. Initial defenders and all subsequent waves will be roughly 30 km away from warp-in.

The mission can be completed and the next mission accepted remotely.

Initial defenders

		WD	EWAR	L
	2 x Elite Frigate Dire Pithi Destructor/Wrecker
	1 x Destroyer Pithior Nihilist

Wave 1

		WD	EWAR	L

After wave 2 is cleared you'll receive a completion message from the agent and a friendly Angel Recovery Team hauler will spawn in. This is purely cosmetic and you can complete the mission immediately.

Mission 6 - Salvage Heist

Type	Encounter
Objective	Kill Gath Renton
Faction	Guristas
Best damage to deal	Kin Th
Damage to resist	Kin Th
Warp disruption	Elite frigates
EWAR	ECM, Web
Ship size limit	T3 destroyers and below
Rewards	6,000,000 ISK + time bonus

Mission briefing
Our biggest competition in the Tech III race is not the Guristas or the Sansha. Hell, it's not even the empires. It's your kind. Capsuleers. I'll admit you guys have been giving us a run for our money. You're uniquely suited to wormhole space. Thankfully a few of you have been less than careful in normal space. There's a capsuleer named Renton that makes his home nearby. We know he's been exploring wormhole space, and he's likely been stockpiling Sleeper tech at this base. He's only been a minor nuisance so far, but his tech cache could be useful. We would do the raid ourselves, but it's more effective to have capsuleers take care of each other, much less bloodshed. Find Renton's base. Eliminate him. I'll be able to send an another recovery team once you've wiped out all hostiles.

The Sleeper Civilization
Although there are many theories, few know what happened to the Sleepers. Their ruins were already old when the Amarr reached space. For most, the Sleepers were little more than a curiosity; an ancient civilization lost and forgotten. Then wormholes opened across the cluster. Explorers that ventured into the strange space beyond were met with highly-advanced drones protecting relics that we now know once belonged to the Sleepers. Apart from the drones themselves, the only structures found are lifeless ruins. But the Sleeper drones themselves function all too well, despite what must be centuries of neglect.

Single gated deadspace pocket.

Wave 1 is triggered when Gath Renton is first damaged, Wave 2 when Gath Renton's armor is damaged, and Wave 3 shortly after Gath Renton's hull is damaged.

Blitz: Kill Gath Renton while tanking the other spawns.

The mission can be completed and the next mission accepted remotely.

No standing loss for destroying Angel sentries. Initial defender spawn is 60 km from warp-in and does not auto-aggro. Sentries have limited aggro range out to ~25 km.

On warp-in
Whoever you are, leave. If you aren't blue, then you're target practice.

Initial defenders

		WD	EWAR	L
	3 x Frigate Pithi Plunderer/Wrecker

As the fireball dies down, Renton's pod is already warping out. He is unlikely to return anytime soon.

Mission 7 - Rabbit Trap

Objective	Kill all
Factions	Sansha's NationGuristas
Best damage to deal	EM Th Kin Th
Damage to resist	EM Th Kin Th
EWAR	ECM
Ship size limit	T3 destroyers and below
Rewards	Domination Target Painter + time bonus

Mission briefing
All that's left to do is transport the tech you've helped us collect back up to Fountain. No, we're not asking you to haul. We've got a crew for that. Your job is more exciting. We know there are Guristas still in the area, possibly with their Sansha pals. They want these parts badly enough to dare raiding in our territory. So, we decided to use their eagerness against them. We let the details leak about the timing of this shipment. They think they'll be ambushing a defenseless industrial. What they're going to find is you. Kill every vessel that shows up.

Single gated deadspace pocket. If you are running this mission in a Tech I destroyer with moderate skills (for example a Thrasher), it might be quite challenging to break Yukiros' shield. Use kinetic ammo.

The mission can be accepted remotely but you need to return to the agent to complete.

The pocket will be initially empty for about 20 seconds. Wave 1 spawns about 60 km off the warp-in.

Message on warp-in
It's good to see you, pilot. Abdiel informed us about your arrival. We've only got a few minutes until we depart. Looks like this will go off without incident.

Wave 1

		WD	EWAR	L
	3 x Frigate Centii Enslaver/Manslayer
	4 x Destroyer Centior Horror/Monster

The despoilers will use ECM.

Wave 2

		WD	EWAR	L
	5 x Frigate Pithi Despoiler/Wrecker
	3 x Destroyer Pithior Supremacist/Terrorist

Yukiro Demense uses rail guns and will try to stay far from you. He has -75% web at 10 km and warp disrupts out to 24 km. He has strong buffer shield tank with little regen, weakest resist to Kinetic at 64%.

Wave 3

		WD	EWAR	L
	1 x Elite Frigate Yukiro Demense

Mission 8 - Dominus

Level	3
Type	Security
Objective	Report to Kadeja Dulche in K-QWHE VII - Moon 8 - Dominations Assembly Plant
Rewards	6M ISK + 1M ISK (6h)

Mission briefing
Ready to move on then, I take it? You'll be working with Kadeja Dulche of the Dominations from here on out. Don't ask me what he wants of you; it's not my business to know these things. You best get going. I'd thank you for the assistance you provided, but an invitation to a meeting with a Domination agent says more than any words of mine will. Declining a mission from a particular agent more than once every 4 hours may result in a loss of standing with that agent, except in the case of special missions that clearly state otherwise in their description.

The Dominations
The Dominations represent the command division of the Angel Cartel. The Dominations are elusive and mysterious, preferring to shroud their agendas in secrecy and obfuscation. Many of their membership seldom venture far from their bases in the Curse region, but CONCORD agents have reported sightings of highly-placed Cartel leaders as far north as Lonetrek. Little is known about the identities of the Angel Cartel leadership, though it is understood that – as with the rest of the organization – they come from all the races and backgrounds.

Report to Kadeja Dulche in K-QWHE VII - Moon 8 - Dominations Assembly Plant in the same System.

Mission 9 - The Lesser of Two

Type	Branch
Objective	Choose your path

Mission briefing
You've done well for us dealing with the Guristas and Sansha. Clashes with other frontier organizations come with the territory, however, and are never that much of a problem. The Archangels are more than capable of handling this aspect of daily operations. It is when other entities begin to stray outside their usual boundaries and establish themselves in our space that people begin to become rightly concerned. In these situations, we are called in to deal with them. One Minmatar corporation, Boundless Creations, has made the mistake of conducting research in our space. They have come here on the misunderstanding that, just because their research is illegal, we will turn a blind eye to their presence. We've not corrected them on this false assumption. Rather, we've let them move in all of their assets and staff and slowly build themselves up. The time has now come to reveal to them where they truly stand with the Cartel. Your mission is to destroy their research facility entirely, costing the interlopers billions. You can go about this whatever way you see fit. You can storm the facility head on, or weaken the defenses by knocking out their communications arrays first. Either way, everyone in that place needs to die. Situation Normal >> Boundless Creations has a communications array keeping tabs on the research base. If you attack the base now, they'll call in reinforcements and make your life difficult. The good news is that they've attempted to hide the array inside a gas cloud rather than protect it in the open. They expect it to be undetected, and to most people it would be. Our scouts have uncovered the area though, and have observed engineers living at the compound. They will be carrying a security code which you must recover. You will be able to use it to deactivate the array without alerting the main Boundless Creation fleet. Data Destruction >> Going for the straight shot? You're a pilot after my own heart. The base is split into three sections. Each section contains a data center that houses all of Boundless Creations' illegal research. You must destroy these. Each data center serves as a redundant backup for the others, so it needs to be all or nothing. The Cartel is putting a lot of trust in you. Make it happen.
