Fits for the Caldari Epic Arc
A timestamped example run with a Raven Navy Issue & a Raven here => Youtube, 2023
Keep in mind these fits below are what I use. They're by no means the very best or the only way to archive a decent time.
Important: This Epic Arc features a lot of travel in Lowsec, which with the introduction of Insurgency can result in some systems becoming corrupted, aka there can be Bubbles (either anchored, or through an Interdictor/Hic).
For that reason i use a nullified Stiletto, but any sub2 Interceptor with a Nullifier will do.
Prepwork
- Buy a Caldari Prisoners of War of Contracts, either in Jita or preferably close to Astoh.
- If buying a couple, put them in the same Station as the Tengu. Only one is needed per run however.
Prestage Ships
- Gnosis
- Poinen IV - Moon 13 - Nugoeihuvi Corporation Development Studio
- if doing the Nugoeihuvi path, aka the Drugs reward.
- not strictly needed, but if wanting to go fast ...
- Probe
- Wuos V - Moon 1 - Hyasyoda Corporation Mining Outpost
- if doing the Hyasyoda path, aka the Blueprint reward.
- Golem
- Ishisomo
- Any Station, doesnt matter in the end.
- if doing the Hyasyoda path, aka the Blueprint reward.
- not strictly needed, but if wanting to go fast ...

Workflow Notes
- Their Loss, Our Profit
- In the Raven Navy, warp @ 100 & orbit @ 175 with prop on then pound the thing.
- Make bookmark once exploded in case you need to warp back.
- 2 boxes spawn, warp to the top one (not the center one).
- Warp back to bookmark in case you selected the wrong box.
- Playing It Safer
- Interceptor time. Check for Gate Camps/Smartbombs.
- Here i select safer for the yellow brick road in order to have a consistent benchmark for timing purposes.
- Dont forget to switch back to shorter once back in Poinen for the rest of the Arc.
- Pre-Emptive Opportunities (if doing the Drugs reward)
- same as Their Loss, Our Profit. Warp @ 100, orbit @ 175 with prop on, fire away.
- Dock up afterwards & switch to Interceptor.
- Right Tool for the Job
- Warp @ 100, make bookmark once the distance counter goes from 5 to 4 digits.
- Once landed, warp back to bookmark then back to hacking can @ zero.
- Only shoot stuff next to the hacking can. Make fleet with yourself to be able to tag them.
- Before handing in, warp back to Uuhulanen
- Switch into Interceptor, dont forget to put the FedNav token and the bought Caldari Prisoners of War in cargo.
- The Price of Silence (if doing the Drugs reward)
- Switch to Gnosis, warp @ 100, make bookmark once the distance counter goes from 5 to 4 digits.
- After landing, warp back to bookmark. Then to the station @ zero. Then back to Poinen.
- Done.
- Slipping Away (if doing the BPC reward)
- Stay in Interceptor & move to Wuos.
- Across the Line (if doing the BPC reward)
- While in Interceptor accept mission in Wuos then move to Ishisomo to grab the Golem.
- Warp @ 50, siege cycle once & kill the Battleship.
- Warp to box, grab content (ignore te Rats that spawn), park Golem in Ishisomo, grab Interceptor (do not forget to put mission item into Interceptor) & head back to Wuos.
- Done.
