The Blood-Stained Stars

This is a walkthrough of the Sisters of EVE epic arc. This is a work in progress - edits, additions and corrections welcome!

Introduction

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.

Part I: Quality of Mercy

Mission 1: A Beacon Beckons

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.

Objective Approach the wrecked ships. Location: 0.8 Manarq

Rewards The following rewards will be yours if you complete this mission: 100,000.00 ISK

The following rewards will be awarded to you as a bonus if you complete the mission within 3 hours, and 56 minutes: 141,000.00 ISK

Finding the Damsel Sometimes objects and entities found in space are not displayed in the default overview settings. Adding "Large Collidable Objects" in Celestials and "Large Collidable Structures" in Entities to the overview can reveal details such as object names.

Notes 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

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 Report to Tevis Jak Agent Location 0.8 Tevis Jak's Iteron Mark III in Tar. Rewards The following rewards will be yours if you complete this mission: 100,000.00 ISK

The following rewards will be awarded to you as a bonus if you complete the mission within 2 hours, and 22 minutes 96,000.00 ISK

Notes: Another very easy mission - just fly to the agent location and start a conversation.

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...

Of Interest Objectives The following objectives must be completed to finish the mission:

Bring Item Objective Acquire these goods: Drop-off Location 0.8 Tar

		Item	1 x Strange Datacore (0.1 m³)	

Objective Eliminate any pirates present at the wreck site. Location 0.8 Manarq

Rewards The following rewards will be yours if you complete this mission: 100,000.00 ISK

The following rewards will be awarded to you as a bonus if you complete the mission within 3 hours, and 36 minutes 86,000.00 ISK

Notes Three waves of pirates:

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 it to Tevis Jak in Manarq 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.

Retrieving Red Objectives The following objectives must be completed to finish the mission:

Bring Item Objective Acquire these goods: Drop-off Location 0.8 Tar

		Item	1 x Red (1.0 m³)	

Objective Destroy the pirates, find Red and bring him back to Tevis Jak. Location 0.8 Tar

Rewards The following rewards will be yours if you complete this mission: 100,000.00 ISK
