| − | This is a walkthrough of the Sisters of EVE epic arc. This is a work in progress - edits, additions and corrections welcome!

| − | =Introduction=
| + | '''The Blood-Stained Stars''' is the [[Sisters of EVE]] Epic Arc which takes place all over [[New Eden]] in High Security Regions. |
| − | The Sisters of EVE epic arc, called "The Blood-Stained Stars", is a Level 1, 50-mission connected arc with several branching points. The entire arc is fairly linear, however, and the decision points are not terribly relevant. This arc is definitely worth completing, as it provides some good experience for new pilots, along with some nice rewards and standings boosts. Most of these missions are fairly easy to complete in a frigate with entry-level skills. However, a few can be quite challenging, and require some combat skill training and perhaps a larger ship - a destroyer or cruiser.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Note that you can complete this arc once every six months. Starting the arc again wipes your previous history of completing these missions away, and you start over from scratch.
| + | The Blood-Stained Stars is an introductory Epic Arc that can be completed in a community fitted "Tech 1 SOE Epic Arc" [[Destroyer]]. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Part I: Quality of Mercy==
| + | Note that mission rewards listed in this walkthrough are '''not''' affected by the {{Sk|Negotiation}} skill, but the standings gains (for various corporations during the arc, but mostly Sisters of EVE, and for the empire faction of your choice at the end) are affected by the {{Sk|Social}} skill. The arc does not give Loyalty Points. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Mission 1: A Beacon Beckons===
| + | Also, note that you sometimes can not interact with the mission [[NPC]]s you meet floating in space if you are a member of a fleet (tested with the "Retribution" expansion). Only after dropping fleet will the option "start conversation with..." become available. |
| | | | |
| − | Go to Arnon IX - Moon 3 and dock up at the Sisters of EVE Bureau station. Click on the Agents tab, and start a dialogue with Sister Alitura.
| + | You will also receive an important storyline mission for every 16 missions (by type) you complete for the epic arc. These are optional but provide benefits if completed. |
| | | | |
| − | ''I ask for help, and they send me a capsuleer. You are a capsuleer, aren't you? An immortal pilot who subverts the rules of life and death, who shapes the fate of empires? You'll have to excuse my skepticism.I work with a humanitarian organization, the Sisters of EVE. I've seen your kind hasten the deaths of millions every day. You expect me to believe that you're different? To prove yourself, your actions will have to do the talking.We've just received a distress call from a ship called the Damsel, and you're the closest aid available right now. Get out there and save some lives. Prove to me you're not just another murderous liar with a god complex. With all the power at your disposal, you certainly could be a force for good. And one thing is certain: Good is in dire need of allies these days.''
| + | Though the epic arc requires a lot of traveling as well as being very long, it is completable in a few hours. |
| | | | |
| − | '''Objective'''<br>
| + | NOTE: The Blood-Stained Stars can be restarted after every 3 months (90 days), no matter if you failed or completed it the last time. |
| − | Approach the wrecked ships. Location: 0.8 Manarq
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Rewards'''<br>
| + | == Ship choice == |
| − | The following rewards will be yours if you complete this mission: 100,000.00 ISK | + | The epic arc contains missions with moderate combat and lots of traveling. The best ships for doing the arc are destroyers as they have high firepower while also being fast. Common choices are {{sh|Thrasher}}, {{sh|Catalyst}}, {{sh|Cormorant}}, and {{sh|Coercer}}. A [[Tactical Destroyer]] will make this arc extremely easy, and due to its high speed and agility will be the fastest option as well. For older pilots with more training, a T3D will be the best option. |
| | | | |
| − | The following rewards will be awarded to you as a bonus if you complete the mission within 3 hours, and 56 minutes: 141,000.00 ISK | + | The second last mission "Our Man Dagan" is especially notorious for its hard to kill boss. You may want to bring modules with you to refit for higher DPS for this mission. You will also need 150{{m3}} of cargo space for mission 19 in the chain. |
| | | | |
| − | '''Notes'''<br>
| + | == Rewards == |
| − | Finding the ''Damsel'' - Sometimes objects and entities found in space are not displayed in the default overview settings. Adding "Large Collidable Objects" in Celestials and "Large Collidable Structures" in Entities to the overview can reveal details such as object names.
| + | Completing the missions gives money but no LP. |
| | + | The more lucrative reward is the faction standing boost you get from the final mission. +0.7 to the empire faction of your choice with no derived standing changes (+0.875 with {{Sk|Social|V}}). This is especially useful to those who have ruined their standing to below -2.00. |
| | | | |
| − | This is a very easy mission - there is no danger of attack. You can do this mission in an unarmed shuttle, in fact. Just fly to the center of the wrecks. Check out the dreadnought wrecks - they're interesting to see. You can complete this mission remotely when you achieve the objective.

| − | ''We got some interesting information out of your trip. It seems no one fired on the Damsel. Something must have happened inside the ship. We'd like you to track those survivors down, see if you can get any information about the ship's path, pilot, or cargo. We need to know what caused this disaster. CONCORD is the first logical step. I’ve gotten in touch with CONCORD Agent Tevis Jak, who may have information for you. His location is being uploaded to your NeoCom: he's currently acting as an ORE agent. Go see if you can find a piece of this puzzle.''

| − | ===Mission 3: Of Interest===
| |
| − | Talking with Tevis Jak will give you this dialogue: ''Yeah, I picked up the crew that outlived that explosion – pretty massive, whatever it was. I'll see if I can track down the facilities they were sent to if you can do me a favor. A bunch of pirates have been scavenging the explosion site. Go and take them out for me. It shouldn't be too much trouble for a capsuleer, and you might even find some extra information. Hell, you can probably get it done in the time I'll need to look up the rest of this data. Damn legacy systems...''

| − | ===Mission 4: Retrieving Red===
| |
| − | Tevis Jak tells you: ''Okay, I found your first guy, but it looks like he's already shipped out again. What a fighter, huh? He's down in the crew manifest as "Red", and his convoy has him listed under the same handle, so there you go. I'm giving you coordinates to intercept the convoy now. You should be able to catch them before they get too far. Go quick, though: I'm worried that they don't have enough security to deal with the number of 'rats – sorry, pirates – where they're headed. They might need your help.''

| |
| − | | |
| − | Taking it back to Tevis Jak gives you this message: "''Dead, is he? Figures. I'll keep the investigation open, but unless something changes there's little CONCORD can do.''"
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Mission 5: Alerting Alitura===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Tevis Jak says: "''Just got a message from Sister Alitura. I sent her that weird datacore you found at the site. She says they weren't able to decipher it. Pity. Still, she's very interested in consulting with you. So go do what she wishes. The Sisters are good people.''"

| − | Sister Alitura says: "''We have another crew member located. The ship's janitor, Nebben Centrien, is stationed at a small outpost.

In light of what happened to Red, I'd like you to bring him back here once you've found him – for his own safety, you understand.''"

| − | | |
| − | '''Notes'''<br>
| |
| − | Colorful mission note: ''Janitors - If you think it’s easy to find people to take on the janitor role between the stars -- well, it’s not, okay? Janitors are in high demand, especially in places frequented by capsuleers, who are not exactly famous for cleaning up after themselves.''<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wave 1: 2 x Coreli Spy frigates<br>
| |
| − | Wave 2: 4 x Coreii Scout frigates
| |
| − | | |
| − | After destroying the enemy ships, you'll get a message from Nebben: "''Yeah, I know where Aubrei--the ship's cook--was headed, but I'll need a terminal to give you the coordinates. A terminal in a safe station. I'm not stupid.''" Collect Nebben from the cargo container and return to Sister Alitura's station.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Mission 7: Chivvying a Chef===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sister Alitura says: "''We got the information from Nebben, but there's a problem. It appears Aubrei Azil, the ship's cook, has shipped out as well. There's no way they would all get reassignments so soon after an incident like this. They’re being shuffled through the system so we don't find them. And then there're the drones…. You need to find Aubrei. If we follow this long enough, we might discover who doesn't want the truth uncovered.''"
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Objectives'''<br>
| |
| − | Rescue Aubrei Azil (3.0 m³) - Location: 0.6 Arnon
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Notes'''<br>
| |
| − | Colorful mission note: ''Vital Staff - A good ship’s cook is a valuable asset. It’s much easier to keep morale up when you don’t have to rely solely on generic frozen food. Real chefs who are willing to work in the often-cramped conditions aboard ships are in high demand.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Upon arriving, Azil will transmit: "''Hey, could you give me a hand, here? The damn things took out my propulsion; I'm dead in the water!''" As you approach his transport, the enemy will appear:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wave 1: 2 x Splinter Alvi rogue drone frigates, at 25km range<br>
| |
| − | Wave 2: 4 x Splinter Alvi rogue drone frigates, at 20km range
| |
| − | | |
| − | You do not need to attack any of the enemy - you can simply get Azil aboard and head back to Sister Alitura's station. However, if you do destroy the rogue drones, Sister Alitura will say: "''Rogue drones? Hmm. Well, bring Azil back here and we'll see what we can do for him.''"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Return to the SoE Bureau station in Arnon to complete the mission.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Mission 8: Delivering a Doctor===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sister Alitura tells you: "''We’ve located the doctor from the wrecked ship. Unfortunately, we’ve located her by way of a ransom demand. We want this doctor alive, so we're going to pay it. Luckily they just want planetary currency, so the real ISK value is minimal. I'll put the money in your hangar when you accept this mission. I need you to take the ransom to the designated drop location. They’re to drop off the doctor as soon as you drop off the money. That’s the plan, anyway. I’d be prepared for a double-cross, just in case.''"
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Objectives:'''<br>
| |
| − | Deliver ransom money (provided by Sister Alitura) for Dr. Lujia Elban (1.0 m³) - Location: 0.6 Arnon. Then deliver Dr. Elban to the SoE Bureau station in Arnon.

| − | '''Notes'''<br>
| |
| − | Be sure to put the "A Lot of Money" item (3.0 m³) into your ship cargo hold before leaving the station.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You will warp in 15km from a container called "Dead Drop". After placing the money in the container, the pirates will appear and attack you.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wave 1: 2 x Coreli Agent frigates, at 25km range<br>
| |
| − | Wave 2: 3 x Coreli Spy frigates, at 25-30km range
| |
| − | | |

| − | | |
| − | ===Mission 9: Engineering a Rescue===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sister Alitura reports: "''We've gone a long way, but we've found the key survivor. Her name is Tahaki Karin. She was the engineer on the main ship from the ruined fleet, and she's signed on to the crew of the Heartbreak. She may be the only one who knows what really happened. You know the drill by now: Get out there and get her before someone else does. I’m fairly certain there’ll be someone there to shoot at you.''"

Thrasher, 
Catalyst, 
Cormorant, and 
Coercer. A Tactical Destroyer will make this arc extremely easy, and due to its high speed and agility will be the fastest option as well. For older pilots with more training, a T3D will be the best option.
