| Our agent hasn’t been able to determine where Dagan is. But in decoding her sensory data, we managed to pick up a clue. An Amarr pilot named Kritsan Parthus recently delivered a cargo of drone parts to Dagan. These parts were black market, and may have been scavenged from some of your recent battles. We contacted Parthus. He’s an independent operator, but wouldn’t see the light. We’ve managed to locate him by tracing his communications signals. Unfortunately, it will be necessary for you to bring him in for a meeting under duress. Our archive data suggests that Parthus will travel with a small contingent of support ships. Identify his command vessel, destroy it, and retrieve him from his pod. Bring him to me, personally. |
Objective
Eliminate the squadron and bring Kritsan Parthus back for interrogation.
Notes
This is the second difficult mission of the epic arc. It is similar in difficulty to Mission 28: Burining Down the Hive.
Kritsan Parthus is flying an Independent Harbinger (Battlecruiser), escorted by five Mercenary Rookie frigates. Parthus' ship will neut (drain your capacitor) if you get too close.
Destroy his escorts first. Lead them away from Parthus by manually piloting your ship. Once you destroy the five escorts another three Mercenary Fighters will spawn. Killing the Fighters will not spawn more enemy ships.
Orbit at a distance and use drones or missiles to take him out. Use a Epic Arc Dagan Killer fitting or a Minmatar frigate fitted with Projectiles and Rockets.
Alternatively, activated your afterburner until you reach the 500m orbit around Parthus then fire at him. Use a fast frigate like a Rifter with one or two 'Overdrive Injector System I'.
(2020-10-06 Update: It is possible to pop the Battlecruiser and ignore the others, but you'll need a good tank to handle the incoming fire. Doing this will not spawn the additional three mercenary fighters, and as soon as you kill the Battlecruiser , the item you need is automatically deposited to your cargo hold. There is no need to loot the wreck. Kritsan Parthus's Energy neut is 100 GJ every ten seconds.)
After you blow up Parthus' ship, you'll hear from another new agent - Amarr, this time: "That’s an Amarr citizen you’ve kidnapped, pilot. But if I understand your motives correctly, we can overlook that. Once you’ve extracted Dagan’s location, we’ll help you bring the hammer of God down on that bastard." No one likes Dagan, it seems! Loot and return Parthus to Sister Alitura.
On turn in, Sister Alitura says: "I’ll handle questioning Parthus. Rest assured, he will be treated humanely, and compensated well."
