{{MissionBriefing
|<Pilot>, it's good to see you. I have something a little outside of the ordinary that needs taking care of. A personal business opportunity for the both of us, I guess you could say.  


'''Syndication''' is the Gallente epic arc. It stars as a job on a movie but then turns into you chasing kidnappers though gallente criminal underworld. This epic arc takes you to the darker side of Gallente society. Not suitable for people who want to keep thinking that the Gallente are the good guys. You also need to get your own hands dirty to complete it.
Have you ever heard of Anire Scarlet? Well, she's practically an urban legend among the local pirates. It seems any outlaw with a clone bay and rhetorical skills can amass a following these days. The sorts of degenerates that hang around this area are easily impressed too. It seems Anire has built quite a posse, but then, that could just be another one of the myths about her.  


As with other epic arcs each step *does* count toward your next L4 storyline mission for the Gallente faction, although the storyline may not actually trigger until you complete a normal L4 mission. You can repeat this epic arc 3 months after starting it.
As for where you come in: all this attention has earned her a CONCORD bounty. I'd very much like to claim that ISK, <Pilot>, with your help. I've hired an undercover surveillance team to locate her, and they've had some luck turning up a lead. If you're able to follow it up and take her out then we can split the bounty money equally. The surveillance team found her flagship vessel, The Crimson Dawn. She is sure to be either inside it, or very close by. If you think yourself capable of eliminating her, then I'll trade you the coordinates.  


==Details==
What do you say? Do we have a deal?
}}


The missions in this epic arc have some of the highest DPS found in any L4 mission. A T1 battleship has no chance to properly tank the elite battleships as they deal around 300 DPS and approach into optimal range at 1000 m/s. Despite this the epic arc is completeable in T1 battleship. This requires the pilot to pay attention to their surroundings and some smart flying. Overheating the tank is almost required sometimes and it is a good idea to fight while aligned and prepared to warp out.


The missions deal various mixtures of kinetic, thermal and explosive damage with some electromagnetic thrown in the mix. Shield battleship is the recommended ship to use as the natural explosive resist of shields is very useful in one of the missions. You should carry full set of hardeners to refit for each mission. For mission 17 "Showtime" it is a good idea to swap propulsion module for extra tank so bring either second explosive hardener, shield boost amplifier or whatever increases your tank for it.
Every pocket in this mission has ships from one randomly selected faction. Your fit should be able to fight with all of them. You can bring an extra ''Gate Key'' to skip warpin area or to give to fleet members.


The ships encountered in this epic arc are either weak to Kin/Th or to Ex/Kin so if you can select your damage bring something to hit these resist holes. Long range fits are the best choice as many of the missions contain elite battleship that deal very high short range damage.
The mission pockets are [[Deadspace|semi deadspace]]. This means that you can warp within a pocket grid but any warps from outside the pocket will land on the warpin area.


This epic arc will incur few faction standing losses towards Syndicate. A typical set of standing hits would be 1x -3.0% and 9x -0.025% due to ship kills but this varies depending on how certain missions are completed.
'''Blitz:'''
* Bring your own gate key and skip first room.
* Rush to acceleration gates and make your way to last room. All gates are open.
* Kill Scarlet and return to agent.

<Pilot>, it's good to see you. I have something a little outside of the ordinary that needs taking care of. A personal business opportunity for the both of us, I guess you could say.

Have you ever heard of Anire Scarlet? Well, she's practically an urban legend among the local pirates. It seems any outlaw with a clone bay and rhetorical skills can amass a following these days. The sorts of degenerates that hang around this area are easily impressed too. It seems Anire has built quite a posse, but then, that could just be another one of the myths about her.

Every pocket in this mission has ships from one randomly selected faction. Your fit should be able to fight with all of them. You can bring an extra Gate Key to skip warpin area or to give to fleet members.

The mission pockets are semi deadspace. This means that you can warp within a pocket grid but any warps from outside the pocket will land on the warpin area.

  • Bring your own gate key and skip first room.
  • Rush to acceleration gates and make your way to last room. All gates are open.
