Mission briefing

It has come to my attention that another agent within Federation Navy revealed a sizable deadspace area inside Vittenyn that has apparently been claimed by the Amarr - Caldari Alliance. Apparently what he found in there was more than he could handle, so it has fallen to us to resolve this critical matter of national security. Your first task is to infiltrate the Amarr slave compound and destroy the fleet guarding it. The previous agent with this assignment had discovered a secret entrance into the complex. However due to his bungling the Amarr forces now know about this 'hidden' route and there it's pointless to use it. Instead I want you to fly in there through the main gate and attack them head-on. You should be experienced enough to handle 'em, although I do of course recommend bringing some backup with you.

Part 2

Level	4
Type	Courier
Objective	Transport 50x Amarr Light Marines (100 m3)
Ship suggestion	Fast frigate

Mission briefing

The Amarr troops you captured in your previous mission are unwilling to reveal any information. In fact, we've nearly lost a few to suicide. So as a lost ditch effort, I want them brain scanned, we can 'fetch' images from their brain which may reveal something to us. It's a difficult and risky process, but then again these are the enemy and in war one must make decisions which would otherwise be deemed unethical. The equipment which is needed to do the brain scan is located at Alakgur VII - Moon 3 - Republic Security Services Assembly Plant. Drop off the marines there and my associates will take care of the rest. Dismissed.

Extra	Prop mod recommended!

Mission briefing

A brain scan of the marines you captured revealed images of a third entrance into the Amarr slave compound deadspace area. However getting through the first acceleration gate requires a key. Fortunately one of the marines knew its location. You must once again venture to the slave compound. There you will find an armory which was hidden by a cloaking field emitter. Since we know of its exact location now, we will modify your ship's computer to ignore the cloaking field. This should make the task of retrieving the key quite easy. Once you have the key report back to me, and I will give you the coordinates to the third entrance.

Mission briefing

Now that we have the keycard it's time to send you to the third gate. Make sure you're well equipped and ready for anything the Amarr or Caldari might pit you against because I have absolutely no idea what lies beyond the acceleration gate. I will fit your ship with some high tech sensors of my own, just in case I'm able to spot something that you miss. Don't worry, it won't fill a module slot. Now get going!

• "Imperial Navy Gate Permit" is required to activate the gate.
  • After the gate has been unlocked, several ships may pass through without a permit.

Mission briefing

Great work in your last mission. But now it is time for the final attack to completely eliminate the Amarr presence within the troublesome deadspace area in Odatrik. The sensior I had implanted onto your ship detected a gate leading towards their headquarters within the room where you destroyed the stargate. It is time for you to access this gate and confront the remainder of their forces. I will again implant the sensors onto your ship, so expect me to contact you once you warp through the acceleration gate leading to their headquarters.

"Imperial Navy Gate Permit" is required to activate the gate.

No hostiles at initial gate.
