Overview

This combat site is an Unrated Complex which can be found in Hi-sec through exploration. The biggest ships in this site are two battlecruisers, one in each pocket. Serpentis rats weakest resistance is against thermal damage and they on average deal 55% thermal damage and 45% kinetic damage.


Difficulty & Ship Recommendation

Recommended ships Heavy Assault Cruiser

T1 Cruisers (with good skills)

This site is possible to complete in a T1 Cruiser, however the damage can easily become excessive if care is not taken managing the triggers.

Expected Enemies

Icon target frigate.png Destroyers 32 - 36
Icon target cruiser.png Cruisers 49 - 60

Upon warping to the site a popup appears saying:
Previous explorers have commented that one of the gates requires a passkey. Alternatively, it can be bypassed by convincing the commander to unlock it. The overseer guards the Starbase Control Tower vigorously.

You will arrive at an ancient acceleration gate.


First Pocket

There are three options for unlocking the Acceleration gate to the next room.

  • Destroy each wave until the fourth wave, and destroy the Corelum Militant Commander
  • Approach the Acceleration gate, which sets off the alarm and spawns the fourth wave, skipping waves 2 and 3, and destroy the Corelum Militant Commander.
  • Unlock the Acceleration gate by having a Serpentis Silver Tag in your inventory (the tag is consumed).


Attack the Corelum Scout to trigger the next wave.

Despite the fact that you have no sister that you know of and the guy sounds like he has been drinking more than just Quafe, you feel a certain temptation to go and see what this is all about.
