ExpandMission briefing

Well, we nearly succeeded in wiping out all rogue drones who knew about the research Ashur Ylavun had stolen, but it seems two drones escaped and thus were able to share the data with the local “hive mind” in two other locations in the <mission system> system. We have enough ships to cordon off the area, and we've set up temporary jump gates between the locations for you, but we need you to actually go in there and clean the drones out. We must be sure to destroy them all before they can send their data to yet another hive. Don´t take any chances; these locations will be well defended.

  • Pocket 2 - 2,010 hp/s (Therm: 36%, Expl: 35%, Kin: 15%, EM: 14%)
