Objectives

Force required

Fleet of 20 - 21 pilots (up to 30 in low/null) 3 - 4 logistics needed 0 - 10 snipers (optional) Sites take about 10 - 20 minutes

Military information

Your objective is to intercept the departing Sansha's Nation fleets and rescue the captured civilians from their smuggler freights. Once you have filled the freighter it will evacuate the remaining civilians and your assignment will be complete.

Background information

Shortly after appearing to change their strategic focus to capsuleers, reports began amassing of Nation forces launching smaller-scale attacks on remote or poorly defended space stations. The purpose of these attacks remains unknown, but may be as simple as serving to bolster their numbers without launching a full-scale planetary invasion. The targets of these invasions are seemingly random, and no commonality between the highly disparate attacks has yet been found.

ISHAEKA-0076 has recommended the authorization of capsuleer forces in assisting with these attacks in order to provide the most rapid and effective response available.

Authorized for Capsuleer dissemination.

Priorities

This is a generic kill order that works no matter what fleet you're running. Certain special doctrines or fleet compositions could change some things in order to optimize their fleet efficiency, so this isn't necessarily the only kill order, but it works.

As a general rule of thumb, if you cannot shoot the highest priority target due to low damage projection, move on to the next target you can actually hit. Just remember to switch back to a higher priority target if it moves into range later on.

#		Targets for the entire fleet		Reason
		Regular targets	Small targets
1		Niarja Myelen		Because the Niarja Myelen jams and neuts.
2		Mara Paleo		The Mara is a high priority targets because it remote repairs the other ships.
3		Auga Hypophysis	Tama Cerebellum  Schmaeel Medulla	The Auga warp scrams, webs and does more damage and is easier to kill than the Romi. Both the Tama and the Schmaeel warp scrams, but the Tama is easier to kill, does more damage and the threat of webs are minimal unless in a moving fleet.
4		Romi Thalamus	Renyn Meten  Eystur Rhomben	Renyns do more damage than Eysturs and while they are harder to hit, it leaves the easier to hit Eysturs for the rest of the fleet if the cruiser targets run out.

Triggers

With the exception of the Antem Neos that spawn in the second wave, the last enemy killed triggers the next wave. This means that you can skip the Antems in the second wave.

In the fourth wave, the Emergency Evacuation Freighter will be unlocked when either all of the Romi Thalamus or when all the Antem Neos (not including the ones from the second wave) is killed.

Special requirements

This site requires you to pick up Captured Civilians and escort them to the evacuation freighter. (takes up 200 - 300 m3 worth of space in your cargo hold)

Civilians

Each wave will drop a container housing 15 Captured Civilians in it, 60 in total that take up 300 m3 worth of cargo space (5m3 each). The container will drop at the end of each wave, from any of the short range Sansha (so there is no risk of an Anthem dropping the container 150km out).

The civilians are to be put in the Emergency Evacuation Freighter, which is a stationary object called "Obelisk" until all the fourth wave Romis or Antems are killed (either group will unlock the freighter).

Assign someone in the fleet to fly around collecting the civilians and once the freighter is unlocked at the end of the site, simply drop the civilians in the freighter (now an interactable container). This will complete the site, potentially before you can warp out (might still be scram capable ships on grid).

Hints & tips

• There are four waves in this site, identifiable by the lack of Antem Neos in the first wave, the appearance of Antem Neos in the second wave, the appearance of the Outuni Mesen in the third wave and the reappearance of more Antem Neos in the fourth and final wave.
• Waves can spawn up to 90km away from the beacon (with the exception of the snipers who spawn up to 150km out and stay there), although the Sansha will rapidly close the distance to their preferred orbit.
• The different waves are slightly randomised. The same type of ships will spawn in each wave, but the number of each is randomised. There will only be one Outuni Mesen however.
• Moving is not necessary in this site, you can sit still and preserve your tracking. Only orbit if your ship's tank relies on speed to mitigate damage.
• Remember to keep an eye on your capacitor if the Outuni Mesen ever gets within neuting range.
• This can be completed without having snipers, simply kill all the Romi Thalamuses in the end, instead of the Antem Neos to unlock the freighter.
• Be sure to kill off all the warp scrambling ships before leaving this site.
