ExpandMission briefing

I told you I'd help if you helped me. Well, the Serpentis Corporation has just kidnapped one of CreoDron’s top minds, Dr. Aspasia Castille. She was analyzing those drone parts that you recovered earlier. The information she has is critical to figuring out what’s going wrong with the drones, but the Serpentis aren’t going to let her go without a fight. They’re planning to take her to their installation at Harerget. I want you to get there first. Destroy their base and the ships guarding it before the transport ship arrives.

ExpandSerpentis Corporation
The Serpentis Corporation began as a Gallente research firm, developing over time into the notorious drug cartel that they are today. The Serpentis have an ongoing deal with the Angel Cartel to provide protection for various Serpentis research stations. There are substantial bounties issued by the Gallente Federation Navy on any ranking officer in the Serpentis Corporation.

Objective
Clear the area of Serpentis pirates and ambush the personal transport in Harerget

Notes
--You can complete this mission and accept the next one remotely.--

You will warp in about 25 km from the Serpentis base (named Serpentis Research Laboratory), which will be guarded by five Serpentis frigates.

When you destroy the second reinforcement, a Serpentis Personnel Transport will appear at 70 km and warp off. It is worth noting that it is not actually necessary to destroy the base - which requires a lot of ammunition - in order to complete the mission.

If you want to destroy the Serpentis Research Laboratory (with a lot of DPS/ammo) note that it is usually the closest base to you (there are 4 in a diamond pattern). Quicker than destroying all the other ships if you want to blitz.
