==Asteroid Belt==

Belt ratting is the act of going from asteroid belt to asteroid belt, killing the pirate NPC ships that are found there, and then go on to the next asteroid belt and doing the same there. This is done to collect the bounty on the ships, as well as trying to get rare spawns and rare loot. There are a few different rare spawns you can encounter in asteroid belts, and the article will go more in-depth below.

Ratting in asteroid belts are greatly affected by the [[System security#True security|true-sec]] of the system it is being done in. Both the size of the bounties, as well as the chance of rare spawns, being affected by it, with lower true-sec giving better bounties and higher chance of rare spawns. At the NSC, [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Syndicate/5-DSFH#sec 5-DSFH], have the lowest true-sec and as such, are the best system to clear belts in. 5-D is also deep in the NSC pocket, and as such are slightly safer to be in (if you pay attention to intel etc).

===Shadow Serpentis Spawns===

Elite versions of the normal rats with the prefix "Shadow" in front of their name. These ships are slightly harder to kill, have a much bigger bounty and drops [[Faction modules#faction|Shadow Serpentis]] faction modules. These can also spawn in combat anomalies.

===Serpentis Dreadnoughts===

Dreadnoughts and Shadow Serpentis Dreadnoughts are capital pirate ships. These rats hit hard and have a lot of tank, and as such you need a fleet (5+ people) to kill them. Should a dreadnought spawn while you are in a belt, warp off immediately, or face the possibility of it killing your ship.

* Serpentis Dreadnought: 60.000.000 ISK bounty - no loot

* Shadow Serpentis Dreadnought: 120.000.000 ISK bounty - loot consists of BPC and modules

The dreadnoughts can warp off, so be sure to bring warp distrupters or scramblers.

They can also spawn in combat anomalies.

===NPC Mining Fleets===

The NPC mining fleets are NPC mining ships and industrial haulers that operating in the asteroid belt. When attacked they will warp off and call in a respons fleet to attack whoever aggressed them.

~~===Dreadnaughts===~~

The miners and haulers can be scanned down with combat probes and killed. The respons fleet uses advanced A.I. tactics, such as dedicated logi ships to heal incoming damage.

~~Dreadnoughts and Shadow Serpentis Dreadnoughts~~

While these fleets can be killed solo (usually in T3D), they are best undertaken in a small fleet.

===Officer spawns===

'''These cannot spawn at the NSC''' <br>

Officer spawns are extremely rare named pirate NPCs. They have high bounties, but are done for the officer modules that they drop. Each pirat faction have their own officers, and these officers only spawn in select regions. Syndicate is NOT one of these regions, and as such officers do not spawn at the NSC.
