Walkthrough

Upon warping to the beacon
Supply depot for combat vessels and pirate cargo haulers alike. The Pith Guristas in these depots are very aggressive. DED Threat Assessment: Minor (2 of 10)

Room 1

ExpandUpon entering the first room
The Pith Guristas rely on nimble fighters to stop any intruders into this complex by stationing them close to the gate-in beacon. In reality, the defenses are rather incompetent.

The sentries can be ignored; they don't have to be destroyed to enter the second pocket.

Room 2

ExpandUpon entering the second Room
The Pith wheel and deal in fuel, and a lot of supplies are stored in this deadspace pocket. Aware that they could be attacked at any time, they stock up just sufficiently to meet demands.

This room can be largely ignored. Destroy the overseer frigate, loot the key, and proceed into the third pocket.

Room 3

ExpandUpon entering the third room
The Pith Guristas collect and store cargo from various raids here. They liquidate their assets as fast as possible, so the actual amount being stored varies from day to day. The locales are relatively well defended.

Most of the rats have special names but are just renamed Guristas deadspace rats.
