| − | '''Kidnappers Strike''' is a 10-part storyline mission chain that has three variants. Parts 1 to 4 are almost identical across the variants, with only minor differences in the named enemies. The rewards for the entire mission chain include several million ISK, a few attribute/hardwiring implants, and a sizeable faction standing (around 5.5% or 0.55 in-game representation plus {{sk|Social}} skill bonus) for a level-3 mission, making this a potentially lengthy but worthwhile endeavor. Note that the courier missions could send you to a station in a low-sec system. | + | '''Kidnappers Strike''' is a 10-part storyline mission chain that has three variants.

Kidnappers Strike is a 10-part storyline mission chain that has three variants. Parts 1 to 4 are almost identical across the variants, with only minor differences in the named enemies. The rewards for the entire mission chain include several million ISK, a few attribute/hardwiring implants (worth about 160m), and a sizeable faction standing (around 5.5% or 0.55 in-game representation plus Social skill bonus) for a level-3 mission, making this a potentially lengthy but worthwhile endeavor. Note that the courier missions could send you to a station in a low-sec system.

Now, I'll get right to the point. We believe the pirates managed to capture some of the crew of the cruiser that was escorting our CEO, for we found the wreckage of their ship close by the encounter location, but there was no trace of the bodies of most of the crew. <Faction> special forces have been called in and are scouring the area for any sign left behind by the pirates, who so far remain at large. We'd like you to help out in the investigation. We know of a popular pirate hideout in <System>. I´ll upload the coordinates to your NeoCom: Please search the area for any clues, and if you take any prisoners, bring them back for interrogation. |

Blood Raider / Sansha Intro We urgently need help intercepting a group of kidnappers who just managed to snatch the niece of our CEO while she was visiting her uncle in this very system. We believe the perpetrators were a gang of mercenaries led by a felon working for <an illegal organization called the Darkonnen/the Maru Rebels>. I'll fill you in on the details of that organization in your mission journal. What I need you to do is capture this agent of theirs, alive if possible. We must have him here for interrogation, for we suspect he is the missing link between the kidnapping and those who are truly responsible for this heinous crime. We need to get to the bottom of which organization stands behind these grave assaults against our people. And it so happens that we know the whereabouts of a certain pirate who has had many dealings with a <Darkonnen/Maru> agent in the past; we hope this pirate will be able to lead you to the agent. The only catch is that he will most likely require a bit of "convincing" on your part before he parts with the needed information. I'll upload the bookmark to his location into your NeoCom; once you have extracted the information from the middleman, I expect you to find the <Darkonnen/Maru> agent and bring him back to me.

I'll upload the bookmark to his location into your NeoCom; once you have extracted the information from the middleman, I expect you to find the Komni agent and bring him back to me. The Darkonnen The Darkonnen is an organization that sprung up from rogue elements within the Khanid Kingdom, starting off as a small band of smugglers operating between lawless space and Khanid-controlled territory. They were renowned for their ruthlessness in dealing with their competitors, eliminating a good deal of small-time criminals within the Kingdom, as well as cleverly eluding the local authorities most of the time. A few years ago, their founder and leader, Michelin Adonnis, was captured by Khanid secret police and sentenced to life in prison for various offenses. His arrest caused a slight setback for the outlawed organization, but in the end it turned out to be not enough to halt their inevitable expansion. Today they are a well known pirate/smuggler network who base their operations in numerous systems in Amarr and Khanid space. The Maru Rebels The Maru Rebels were once part of a gang of pirates who turned into a sinister terrorist network claiming to fight for Minmatar freedom. In fact, they're little more a ruthless gang of criminals dealing in the black market, smuggling, and extortion and blackmail, even sometimes working as hired assassins. Their official agenda is to murder as many citizens of the Amarr nations as possible ― i.e., Amarr Empire, Ammatar, and Khanid Kingdom ― hoping to force them to withdraw eventually from historically Minmatar systems currently under Amarr control. The Minmatar Republic leadership has denounced them as being cutthroats and criminals even though they support Republic goals, and has put up a sizable bounty on their leader's head. But even so, the Rebels do maintain some support within the Minmatar Republic, which has allowed them certain freedoms other criminal networks do not have. |

| This asteroid field has just recently been settled, by a group of pirate freelancers. A hastily erected mobile habitat floats idly in the midst of the giant rocks, while three groups of mercenary ships lazily orbit various asteroids in defensive positions. One of the ships clearly has the markings of your target, Drazin Jaruk, who seems to be the leader of this bunch. You also notice another acceleration gate nearby, which you guess, judging from it's fairly clean exterior, has been only recently installed. Where it leads to is anyone's guess. |
Enemies in the first pocket feature mixed damage and resistance profiles. Mercenary Fighters, Mercenary Lieutenants, and Mercenary Corporals deal kinetic and thermal damage and also are weakest to these damage types. Mercenary Elite Fighters and Mercenary Commanders deal EM damage in addition to these and are weakest to EM damage. Drazin Jaruk and Mercenary Wingmen deal primarily explosive and EM damage, and they are more receptive to thermal damage.

There are several versions of this group, depending on the named Cruiser. The Zerak Cheryn version is at 10-20k on warp in and his Gallente cruiser can be extremely harsh at close range and would be best taken out first if you can tank the two webbing frigates. The Kuran 'Scarface' Lonan version (Caldari based) is at 40-50k on warp in & and is easy to tank. Please confirm Drazin Jaruk spawn?
