Mission briefing

Alright, you're ready to take care of this Guristas commander? Good. Yukiro Demense is a capsuleer. With all those clones, he'll be a tough one to break, but we have plenty of experience when it comes to dealing with this sort of problem. Our friends over at Serpentis Inquest were also more than willing to offer their expertise on this matter after the Guristas attacked their research facility. This Demense punk just made some very powerful enemies. You'll be travelling to a local black market cloning facility, one that we've been happy to ignore until now. The facility administrator took a heavy bribe from Demense to allow one of his clones access, and so of course, they had their license and all good standings with us permanently revoked. Intelligence indicates that Demense is reliant on this facility to support his raids. With a clone backup available locally, he has been able to return to the fight without re-cloning in Venal up north. Your first task is to storm this facility and make an example of the people there. Let nobody survive; their deaths must send a message across Curse. Once you have dealt with this indiscretion, you need to deliver a special data payload into their central database hub. As soon as you approach the hub, the data will auto-transmit a special virus engineered by our Inquest friends. Do this and report back to me. I will have further instructions for you at that point. Black market clones Hundreds of small companies exist in the fringes of space that cater to those who either can't afford or are banned from the big-name cloning companies. Naturally, there is a much greater risk with these organizations. No regulations means there are no guarantees of revival, and there are many stories of capsuleers waking up in distant backup cloning facilities after their local clone never activated. For most capsuleers this represents only a minor inconvenience, since very few are foolish enough to place their lives in the hands of questionable company. For those criminals who can pay, the clones are nearly as safe as the Empire ones, a fact that has stymied efforts to curb the proliferation of capsuleer outlaws, and allowed them to move about the cluster with the freedom capsuleers are famous for.

Gated complex, no guards on initial gate.

Last kill triggers next wave. Destroy all the ships and approach the central database hub to complete the mission. Sentries do not need to be killed.
