This innermost circle of the Angel cartel is legendary for its brutality and the unparalleled skill of their pilots. Soon the radio livens again when this chatty vigilant type sends a message to his newfound friend "Yes, they are here and it seems the element of surprise is on our side! I suggest that you open with a full frontal assault, so I can charge from the side, surround their flanks and drive a stake through their rotten hearts! I will need to stay of the air for now, I am launching a covert op through deceptive tactics in order to get into position! Good luck !! " You feel the only appropriate answer is "Mmmm..k", Come to think of it, this might be a 12 year old who has stolen his mom's ship. Anyways, there is nothing to wait for, there are the coordinates and the enemy is waiting. "

The third and final wave is the commander wave. It is triggered by bringing the ''Angel Military Outpost'' into structure. This is a hard wave, as the large number of elite frigates can keep you halted in one spot, while the overseer battleship (Einhas Malak) deals a LOT of damage. Recommend keeping over 15 km from the elite frigates so you won't get webbed and pointed while Einhas Malak puts your tank to the acid test.

Einhas Malak does about 3000 points of Explosive damage and 700-900 points of Kinetic damage. He also repairs both shield and armor, with strong passive shield and armor tanks with his shield recharging at about 300 DPS and his armor at about 250. Recommend over 85% resists to Explosive and Kinetic damage and at least 550 DPS to break Einhas. He has 76% EM and Kinetic resists and 66% Explosive and Thermal resists.

|Einhas Malak: So we meet at last. You are most likely the one that has been disrupting our operations recently. I must say, I'm impressed with your ability to crush my subordinates. But taking on me is an entirely different matter.

Since you've done so well for yourself, I'll give you the comforting knowledge that your body will be sent to your family in one piece. And if you have any close relatives that show promise in the space-combat business, I'll make sure to offer them a place at my side.
