Tips:

* Site is rigged with explosives and will detonate after 20 minutes (doesnt damage your ship)

* Killing Mordu's ships does not reduce Faction Standing

* All ships fly up to 380m/s

Line 25:

You should deal Kinetic damage because:

* The Cruiser is weak to EM, but has low HP

* The Cruiser is weak to EM, but has low HP so high Kinetic volley damage can still kill it quickly

* The Battleship's shields are weak to EM and armor is weak to Explosive, but the lowest average resistance is Thermal

* The Battleship's shields are weak to EM and armor is weak to Explosive, but the lowest average resistance is Thermal with Kinetic at close second

* The Commander is ~~weak to~~ Kinetic~~, but has high HP~~

* The Commander has high EHP but its weakest average resistance is Kinetic

The ~~Site~~ is empty at first. ~~The~~ Wave 1 spawns ~~shortly~~ after ~~you warp~~ in.

The site is empty at first and remains that way until a player is detected within 50 km of the Guristas Research and Trade Hub, '''even if they are cloaked.''' Wave 1 spawns within a few seconds after the proximity trigger, indicated by a message in local.

If the site isn't cleared within 20 minutes after Wave 1 spawns, the structures, along with any loot inside them, will explode (though the explosions don't deal damage to your ship), and the site is considered failed. Any remaining rats on grid will instantly despawn.

{{MessageBox|Message on site failure

===Loot table===

* Covert Research Tools

* Any type of pirate faction ammo (regardless of region), includes commander ammo types (e.g. Dread Guristas)

* 30-day pirate ship skins

* Low and Mid-Grade implant drops of the following sets: Virtue, Nomad, Centurion, Talisman, Halo, Amulet, Harvest, Hydra, Crystal, Savior

* Blueprint copies for Hyperspatial Accelerators, Jump Drive Economizers and any of the implants listed above

* Minerals, in stacks of 10 (from the Thukker Component Assembly Facility)

Loot will usually average between 15-40M ISK per site with some variance through implant and BPC drops, which can jack up the loot value to well over 300M. Lowest loot drop seen was around 6M, so it may be a good idea to warp in at long range to the site and cargo scan the Guristas Research and Trade Hub to see if the site is worth running, since the rewards are highly variable.
