Mission briefing

This Corporate Police Force investigation must be brought to an end before it can uncover anything that could lead back to us, unlikely as that may be. The forces inside the facility right now are not Hyasyoda or CPF personnel, just some hired mercs. This gives us an opportunity to strike preemptively at the compound without causing an incident and further complicating matters. I cannot guarantee how long they will be on duty, however, nor what kind of reaction your arrival on scene will provoke. What I do know is that if you can destroy the Logistics Center quickly, it will set them back weeks. The paths that lead back to us to will no doubt have faded into the background by the time they can resume their investigation. Paranoia Hyasyoda is one of the oldest of the Caldari megacorporations, having been formed shortly after first contact with Gallente when the Caldari were still in their Industrial Age. Throughout State history, Hyasyoda executives have always been conservative and cautious. As a result, the corporation has informally claimed as theirs the age-old Caldari saying that “only the paranoid survive.”

Ungated normal space.

Warning: Prioritize targets and eliminate EWAR threats asap. Reinforcement Waves are time based (3-5min) with no trigger. The final wave is very strong, might consider getting help from friends.

Note: The Mercenary Wingmen may web and point. The Spider Drones are very quick. After warping to the location you will receive the following objective - Destroy The Logistics Center. No additional waves spawn when shooting the Logistics Center. However, it does have a lot of armor and structure points. If you destroy the Logistics Center, and stay in the deadspace pocket, additional waves (up to the final wave) may continue to spawn.

Blitz: Destroy the Caldari Logistics Center (Caldari Station1) and GFTFO, DPS will build up. Destroying the station will cause any rats currently on grid to despawn, but waves which have not been triggered yet will continue to spawn if you stick around. Station has quite a lot of HP, about 250K HP total. 950DPS applied right from the start will do it right before the spider drone wave.
