Mission briefing

I just discovered why that research team never arrived to pick up the goods you ferried: their labs are under siege by Guristas forces. I don't know what the hell the Guristas think they're going to achieve down here, but if we don't quickly shut them down we risk them gaining a foothold. This attack was fierce and well-coordinated. They managed to overwhelm our defenses. All of our other forces are either too far away to assist or on other important missions they can't be diverted from. You're our best shot. I want you to save that research station from the Guristas assault. Gang War The Angel Cartel and Guristas have a lot in common on the surface. Both seem to be the classical thugs, engaging in all the brutish activities attributed to base criminals. But while the two do have some overlapping interests, their methods and core desires are different. The Angel Cartel is closer to a criminal mafia, dedicated to pushing drugs, running protection rackets, taking out assassination contracts, and involving themselves in all manner of nefarious research projects. The Guristas, however, are opportunistic pirates. They prowl the space lanes and hit any target that looks half-valuable or vulnerable. They loot and plunder what they can, ransom off the valuable survivors, and then hit the bars to celebrate. The Cartel sees the Guristas as chaotic malcontents, disrupting trade, causing economic difficulties, and generally making it more difficult for them to ply their illicit trades. The Guristas see the Cartel as dishonorable brutes, skulking in the darkness and using trickery and deception to dull the minds and sensibilities of their clients.

Gated complex, no guards on initial gate. On warp-in there will be a lot of Angel and Guristas rats that will destroy each other leaving only a few Guristas for you to deal with. The mission is marked completed once the elite frigate is dead.

Bliz: Kill the elite frigate, return to agent.
