"Remember the strange datacore you found? We've determined that it must have been made by rogue drones of some kind..."

The Blood-Stained Stars is the Sisters of EVE Epic Arc which takes place all over New Eden in High Security Regions.

The Blood-Stained Stars is an introductory Epic Arc that can be completed in a community fitted "Tech 1 SOE Epic Arc" Destroyer.

Note that mission rewards listed in this walkthrough are not affected by the Negotiation skill, but the standings gains (for various corporations during the arc, but mostly Sisters of EVE, and for the empire faction of your choice at the end) are affected by the Social skill. The arc does not give Loyalty Points.

Also, note that you sometimes can not interact with the mission NPCs you meet floating in space if you are a member of a fleet (tested with the "Retribution" expansion). Only after dropping fleet will the option "start conversation with..." become available.

You will also receive an important storyline mission for every 16 missions (by type) you complete for the epic arc. These are optional but provide benefits if completed.

Though the epic arc requires a lot of traveling as well as being very long, it is completable in a few hours.

NOTE: The Blood-Stained Stars can be restarted after every 3 months (90 days), no matter if you failed or completed it the last time.

Ship choice

The epic arc contains missions with moderate combat and lots of traveling. The best ships for doing the arc are destroyers as they have high firepower while also being fast. Common choices are Thrasher, Catalyst, Cormorant, and Coercer. A Tactical Destroyer will make this arc extremely easy, and due to its high speed and agility will be the fastest option as well. For older pilots with more training, a T3D will be the best option.

The second last mission "Our Man Dagan" is especially notorious for its hard to kill boss. You may want to bring modules with you to refit for higher DPS for this mission. You will also need 150 m³ of cargo space for mission 19 in the chain.

Rewards

Completing the missions gives money but no LP. The more lucrative reward is the faction standing boost you get from the final mission. +0.7 to the empire faction of your choice with no derived standing changes (+0.875 with Social V). This is especially useful to those who have ruined their standing to below -2.00.

+'''The Blood-Stained Stars''' is the [[Sisters of EVE]] Epic Arc which takes place all over [[New Eden]] in High Security Regions.
-The Sisters of EVE epic arc, called "The Blood-Stained Stars", is a Level 1, 50-mission connected arc with several branching points.  The entire arc is fairly linear, however, and the decision points are not terribly relevant.  This arc is definitely worth completing, as it provides some good experience for new pilots, along with some nice rewards and standings boosts.  Most of these missions are fairly easy to complete in a frigate with entry-level skills.  However, a few can be quite challenging, and require some combat skill training and perhaps a larger ship - a destroyer or cruiser.
-Note that you can complete this arc once every six months. Starting the arc again wipes your previous history of completing these missions away, and you start over from scratch.

-''I ask for help, and they send me a capsuleer. You are a capsuleer, aren't you? An immortal pilot who subverts the rules of life and death, who shapes the fate of empires? You'll have to excuse my skepticism.I work with a humanitarian organization, the Sisters of EVE. I've seen your kind hasten the deaths of millions every day. You expect me to believe that you're different? To prove yourself, your actions will have to do the talking.We've just received a distress call from a ship called the Damsel, and you're the closest aid available right now. Get out there and save some lives. Prove to me you're not just another murderous liar with a god complex. With all the power at your disposal, you certainly could be a force for good. And one thing is certain: Good is in dire need of allies these days.''

-Very easy mission - no danger. Just fly to the center of the wrecks.  Check out the dreadnaught wrecks - they're interesting to see.  You can do this mission in a shuttle, if you want.  You can complete this mission remotely when you achieve the objective.

-===Mission 2: Agent Inquiry===
+{{GettingStartedNav}}
-We got some interesting information out of your trip. It seems no one fired on the Damsel. Something must have happened inside the ship.We'd like you to track those survivors down, see if you can get any information about the ship's path, pilot, or cargo. We need to know what caused this disaster.CONCORD is the first logical step. I’ve gotten in touch with CONCORD Agent Tevis Jak, who may have information for you. His location is being uploaded to your NeoCom: he's currently acting as an ORE agent. Go see if you can find a piece of this puzzle.
-'''Objectives'''
+[[Category:Guides]]
-Report to Tevis Jak   	Agent Location	0.8 Tevis Jak's Iteron Mark III in Tar.
+[[Category:Epic Arcs]]

-===Mission 3: Of Interest===
-Talking with Tevis Jak will give you this dialogue:
-Yeah, I picked up the crew that outlived that explosion – pretty massive, whatever it was. I'll see if I can track down the facilities they were sent to if you can do me a favor. A bunch of pirates have been scavenging the explosion site. Go and take them out for me. It shouldn't be too much trouble for a capsuleer, and you might even find some extra information. Hell, you can probably get it done in the time I'll need to look up the rest of this data. Damn legacy systems...
-'''Objectives'''
-Acquire these goods: 1 x Strange Datacore (0.1 m³) - Drop-off Location: 0.8 Tar (at Tevis Jak's location)

-Wave 1: 2 x Corpii Worshipper frigates

-Wave 3: 3 x Corpii Worshipper frigates
-After you destroy the last wave, you'll get this dialogue from Tevis Jak: "My sensors are picking up a strange bit of tech that just dropped in that can. Open the can, take the item, and bring it to me." Pick up the "Strange Datacore", and return Tevis Jak in Manarq and start a conversation with him to complete the mission.
-===Mission 4: Retrieving Red===
-Okay, I found your first guy, but it looks like he's already shipped out again. What a fighter, huh? He's down in the crew manifest as "Red", and his convoy has him listed under the same handle, so there you go. I'm giving you coordinates to intercept the convoy now. You should be able to catch them before they get too far. Go quick, though: I'm worried that they don't have enough security to deal with the number of 'rats – sorry, pirates – where they're headed. They might need your help.
-'''Objectives'''
-Acquire these goods: 1 x Red (1.0 m³)
-Destroy the pirates, find Red and then bring him back to Tevis Jak. Location: 0.8 Tar

-Taking it back to Tevis Jak gives you this message: "Dead, is he? Figures. I'll keep the investigation open, but unless something changes there's little CONCORD can do."
-===Mission 5: Alerting Alitura===
-Just got a message from Sister Alitura. I sent her that weird datacore you found at the site. She says they weren't able to decipher it. Pity.Still, she's very interested in consulting with you. So go do what she wishes. The Sisters are good people.
