Guristas Owned Station is an Expedition that can escalate from Minor Guristas Annex.

Walkthrough

The site has all four of its parts in low security space, and often leads up to 20 jumps away from the starting system.

Escalation start
To your surprise, the Overseer seems to have spent the last moments of his life sending some message to your ship on a private channel, a fact you learn from a blinking entry on your communication panel a few seconds after his innards slid across your windshield, bounced along your fuselage and were sucked into your thrusters. It appears he wanted to save his life by telling you the whereabouts of some place you could load your cargohold with riches, but before he could get very far with his offer, his journey ended. All you have is some hysteric babble about a hidden mining station at a certain location.

First Location

Mixture of Gurista and mercenary rats.

WD EWAR L


Tower 1 x Starbase Control Tower Attacking triggers optional mercenary wave
Sentry 7 x Sentry Guristas Heavy Missile Battery
Elite Frigate 5 x Elite Frigate Mercenary Wingman Warp Disruptor Stasis Webifier
Commander Battlecruiser 1 x Commander Battlecruiser Mercenary Supervisor (Dread Guristas Assaulter/Enforcer) Escalation trigger Possible Dread Guristas modules, faction ammo/tags, possible implants
Battleship 4 x Battleship Mercenary Overlord
In local (mercenary wave)
More merc ships appear when the Control Tower is attacked.

The mercenary wave is optional, only worth doing for bounties and salvage.

Mercenary Wave (optional)

Elite Frigate 6 x Elite Frigate Mercenary Elite Fighter
Cruiser 6 x Cruiser Mercenary Commander
Battleship 6 x Battleship Mercenary Overlord
Escalation dead-end
Either the Overseer was trying to trick you and this was the best he could come up with, or that you killed him before he could reveal the juicy parts of his offer. Either way, the takings from this expedition were as juicy as the good Overseer's remains after your thrusters were done with him.
Escalation trigger
Among the things you find are a few drones. Running a scan on their control units reveals they have been used not long ago, at another place not far away from here.

Second Location

You land at an acceleration gate.
If Dread Guristas commander doesn't spawn or doesn't trigger escalation, take the acceleration gate.

Elite Cruiser 3 x Elite Cruiser Dire Pithum Abolisher/Eraser
Battlecruiser 3 x Battlecruiser Pithatis Revolter/Assassin
Commander Battlecruiser 1 x Commander Battlecruiser Dread Guristas Assaulter Escalation trigger Faction ammo/tags. May drop Dread Guristas modules or implants

Acceleration Gate 1 x Newly Constructed Acceleration Gate Not locked

First Pocket

On warp-in
It seems this Moon Mining facility has fallen prey to Rogue Drones. The structural makeup of this facility indicates it once belonged to the Guristas.

Simple warp-in probably triggers escalation.

WD EWAR L


Tower 1 x Starbase Control Tower Attacking triggers drone reinforcements
Sentry 5 x Sentry Starbase Sentry (Tower Sentry Guristas II)
Elite Frigate 6 x Elite Frigate Strain Devilfish/Hunter/Barracuda Alvi
Battleship 7 x Battleship Alvus Ruler/Supreme Alvus Parasite
In local (drone reinforcements)
More drones have been deployed from the Starbase Hangars as the Control Tower is attacked!

Elite Cruiser 3 x Elite Cruiser Strain Bomber/Disintegrator Alvum
Battlecruiser 3 x Battlecruiser Defeater/Enforcer Alvatis
Battleship 7 x Battleship Alvus Ruler/Supreme Alvus Parasite
Escalation dead-end
All these moon mining stations suggest there must be a station or outpost somewhere in the region servicing them and refining the raw materials they produce. Again you look for clues from the drones, but the data you extract suggests no new locations, only the two you have been at already. If the Guristas have any more stations in the area, this is not where you will find them.

Third Location

WD EWAR L


Sentry 6 x Sentry Starbase Cruise Missile Battery (Guristas Cruise Missile Battery)
Sentry 1 x Sentry Starbase Stasis Tower (Guristas Stasis Tower) Stasis Webifier
Elite Frigate 3 x Elite Frigate Dire Pithi Despoiler/Saboteur Target Jammer

Commander Battlecruiser 1 x Commander Battlecruiser Dread Guristas Death Dealer Escalation trigger Faction ammo/tags; possible Dread Guristas modules, implants
Battleship 7 x Battleship Pith Eliminator/Exterminator Target Jammer
Escalation trigger
Going through data scanned during the destruction of the station itself, you notice reports from a place called "R&D division Red", containing information on blueprint research and booster production and even the location of this base "Red".

Fourth Location

Ungated pocket.

WD EWAR L


Structure 1 x Guristas Research Outpost Triggers smartbomb waves upon attack. Destroy for expedition end Possible Pithum A-Type cruiser modules and a possible Gila BPC

Sentry 2 x Sentry Starbase Cruise Missile Battery (Guristas Cruise Missile Battery)
Elite Frigate 3 x Elite Frigate Dire Pithi Despoiler/Saboteur Target Jammer
Elite Cruiser 4 x Elite Cruiser Dire Pithum Abolisher/Eraser
Battleship 7 x Battleship Pith Conquistador/Destroyer
In local (outpost attacked)
This Research Station has a built-in defense system. As soon as it is attacked, the inhabitants activate the system, causing a large blast-wave which affects all hostile ships in the vicinity . It is activated continuously until it needs a short delay to recharge power.
Outpost destroyed: Expedition end
Now, you kind of regret killing the Overseer back there, it is always useful to know corrupt leaders who are ready to sell out things like this outpost in exchange for something as cheap as their own petty lives.
