"Syndication" is the Gallente Epic Arc. To begin requires 6.8 standing with either Impetus Corporation or the Gallente faction, but once begun, faction and standing is not checked again for the duration of the arc. It is somewhat more difficult than L4 missions, but not impossible to do in a tech 1 battleship such as a Maelstrom. Strongly recommend at least the equivalent of a Gist-C shield booster for tanking purposes, almost all stages involve what would be considered heavy DPS in a level 4 mission.
Note that each step *does* count toward your next storyline mission for the Gallente faction, although the storyline may not actually trigger until you complete a normal L4 mission.
Also note that all epic arcs can be repeated every 3 months. If you quit before completing the final step (which heavily impacts your standing with whichever corporation you're currently working for in the arc, but only trivially impacts your Gallente main faction), you may restart from the beginning immediately.
Step 1: Impetus
Location: Dodixie
Talk to Roineron Aviviere at the beacon in space in Dodixie. He will send you to Gian Parele in Tolle, who is also at a space beacon, 4 jumps away.
Step 2: The Tolle Scar
Location: Tolle
This mission involves fighting rogue drones. EMP damage works well.
Completed in: Maelstrom, Machariel (both Gist shield tanked)
Pocket 1: Drones spawn and auto-aggro as you approach within 20km of acceleration gate. No aggro on your own drones once all rogue drones target you.
Single spawn: 6x frigate/destroyers 6x cruisers/battlecruisers 2x battleships
Pocket 2: All enemies present upon arrival. Auto-aggro.
5x frigate/destroyers 6x cruisers/battlecruisers 7x battleships
Drone loot is typical, lots of refinables and lousy salvage. Two drone structures drop no loot.
