Mission briefing

We've been getting a number of reports from in and around this system regarding "unidentified alien spacecraft." Sightings of weird-looking people have even come in from planetary surfaces. Theories abound, and people are saying it's the Jovians, or even one of the Ancients: Takhmal, Yan Jung, any number of things. A few folks even think it's some new alien race making an appearance. Anyway, we could use someone to go and check these rumors out. Supposedly there was a sighting very recently out in <System>. If you're ready, head on out there and see what you can find. And don't worry — you'll be well paid for your time.

Ancient Peoples

There are a number of ancient races who have left traces of their civilizations scattered throughout the EVE universe: The Takmahl, masters of cybernetics and bioengineering; the Talocan, with their hyper-advanced spatial manipulation technology; and Yan Jung, who excelled in gravitronics and force field theories. Others include the mysterious Sleepers, who some say are the ancestors of the enigmatic Jovians. Those who wish to learn more of these ancient peoples are well-advised to develop their Science and Archaeology skills.

The Unidentified Spacecraft destroys the Federation Scouts and warps out.

Mission briefing

Well, we need to get some actual evidence about these things, these supposed aliens. Now, I don't doubt that people are seeing something unusual, but whether we're really dealing with another race of people, or with some Jovians, or what… well, who knows? But that's what I need you to find out. We've got another set of coordinates here for a deadspace complex where sightings have been fairly common. Head out there and see if you can't approach one of these ships, assuming you find one, and then come back and tell me whatever you can about it. Now, we have no idea if these things are hostile, if they really exist. But if what you told me is true, that you saw one take out a couple of Gallente ships, then we need to be careful. You need to be careful, that is. If you're under attack, get the hell out of there. And if not, well, just find out what you can. Don't take any unnecessary risks.

Complex is composed of 4 rooms in a square. The diagonal gates cross to the opposite corner while the other two cross along the side they are on. You start in the lower right corner of the square.

You will find the Unidentified Spaceship in one of the four rooms randomly sitting 35km off the Beacon you land on.

Target the Unidentified Spaceship and mission completes as he warps away. If you do not target him before he warps away he will be in one of the other 3 rooms.

Mission briefing

Yes. We've just received a distress call from an industrial that got stranded out in <System>. They claim they dropped out of warp prematurely, and that there were several "alien ships" waiting for them when they dropped. They claim these aliens somehow actually forced them out of warp. I mean, can you imagine the ramifications…?! Anyway, they're still sitting out there, apparently, and haven't attacked or responded to attempts to hail them. Can you get out there as fast as possible and see what's going on? You're the only one who's seen one of these ships up close — it may be that they'll let you approach again. But again, I warn you – be careful. I'd go out there ready to defend myself if I were you.

Industrial is destroyed upon engaging the frigates.
