David v Goliath is an expedition that escalates from Sansha Military Complex.

Walkthrough

This expedition is in nullsec, with all four parts in Sansha infested nullsec. A high DPS ship is recommended to take out Naberius Marquis in the final location.

Escalation from Sansha Military Complex
Going through the logs from one of the command ships you blasted, you come across a recent memo containing a draft for a plan where forces from this Military Complex and another similar to this one were to gang up and raid a space trucker station somewhere in the region. Where this space trucker station is, is not included in the logs, but the location of the rally point is there. It is supposed to be by a small asteroid belt, not too far away.

First Location

If the True Sansha ship does not trigger escalation or does not spawn, take the acceleration gate.

From the wreckage of this ship, you get info on where it is from, it is another Sansha station. Well, more an outpost than a station perhaps, but it is a pure military outfit, not a regular colony.

You scan the wreck for further info, examine the location and listen for a while on all channels ... but nothing. It seems you have lost the trail of this raiding party.
