Chasing the Dragon

This article should be cleaned up or improved.
The reason is: More info needed.

This is an expedition found by completing Angel Lookout anomalies. It may contain up to four parts. The high-sec parts are un-gated deadspace. The low-sec part is a two-room gated complex.

Part 1

• Total: 930K (Bounties: 121K Salvage: 607K Loot: 202K )

		WD	EWAR	L
Group 1: 15km
	4 x Frigate Gistii Hijacker/Rogue
Group 2: 75km
	4 x Frigate Gistii Outlaw/Thug
	1 x Commander Frigate Domination Thug
	1 x Cruiser Gistum Depredator

Escalation continuation
Here the pirates have ditched one of their damaged frigates, you manage to enter its navigation systems and retrieve the last entered coordinates.

Part 2

• Total: 700K (Bounties: 165K Salvage: 1.5M Loot: 400K )
• Total: 450K (Bounties: 182K Salvage: 50K Loot: 150K )

20km from warp-in

		WD	EWAR	L
	4 x Frigate Gistii Hijacker/Rogue/Outlaw/Thug/...
	1 x Commander Frigate Domination Nomad
	2 x Cruiser Gistum Depredator/Predator

Escalation message
You made a short story of this feeble ambush, but now it is obvious the pirates know you are on their trail! While you are fighting, your scanners analyze and compare the information you receive from the enemy ships to your onboard databanks. It is clear that some of these ships are carrying prisoners.

Dead end message
This distraction maneuver seems to have succeeded. While you were busy expediting this ambush the pirates disappeared, their main force seems to have vanished into thin air.

Part 3

• Total: 1.5M (Bounties: 200K Salvage: 783K Loot: 567K)
• Total: 20M (Bounties: 207K Salvage: 150K Loot: 20M )

65km

		WD	EWAR	L
	2 x Frigate Gistii Outlaw/Thug
	1 x Commander Frigate Domination Ambusher
	3 x Destroyer Gistior Shatterer/Haunter/Defiler
	2 x Cruiser Gistum Predator

Escalation message
Enemy analysis report indicates that you are close to a drug distributor conditioning unit, where Angels are known to bring kidnapped persons from neighboring systems, make them addicted to various drugs, brainwash and train them as drug dealers, before sending them back to their home. Your best chance to beat these pirates is to get to the remaining ships before they reach their destination.

• This stage has an initial gate and 2 pockets.
• Possible High Sec escalation confirmed (imgur) on 17/01/2017 by Zirio on the Lanngisi system.

• There were 44 Veldspar asteroids in this pocket.

		WD	EWAR	L
	8 x Frigate Gistii Rogue/Outlaw/Nomad

Second pocket

• There were 51 Veldspar asteroids in this pocket.
• Total: 270K (Bounties: 118K Salvage: ? - I did not come back to get the salvage Loot: 152K)

Expedition complete message

Surprisingly the Angels chose to stay and defend this vile place to their last ship. Even though you didn't manage to rescue any of their captives, this installation will not be of any use to the pirates for a long time and looking at it in a clinical way, this end is probably for the best for everyone as the human wrecks this place produced will not be spreading the pleasures of doom to untold thousands of people throughout this region.

Rewards

The commander rats may drop Gistii A-type modules and Implants.
