Frontier in Flames is an Expedition that can escalate from Blood Military Complex.

Walkthrough

Escalation start

Going through the logs from one of the command ships you blasted, you come across a recent memo containing a draft for a plan where forces from this Military Complex and another similar to this one were to gang up and raid a space trucker station somewhere in the region. Where this space trucker station is, is not included in the logs, but the location of the rally point is there. It is supposed to be by a small asteroid belt, not too far away.

First location

You land at a Newly Constructed Acceleration Gate.

		WD	EWAR	L
	5 x Battlecruiser Corpus Bishop/Shade/Exorcist
	2 x Battleship Corpus Patriarch
	3 x Battleship Corpus Pope
	0-1 x Commander Battleship Dark Blood Cardinal

Killing Dark Blood Cardinal activates another escalation
From the wreckage of this ship, you get info on where it is from, it is another Blood station. Well, more an outpost than a station perhaps, but it is a pure military outfit, not a regular colony.

Destroy the Blood Raider Outpost if no escalation is triggered from the Dark Blood commander.

Second location

Initial defenders

		WD	EWAR	L
	2 x Sentry Blood Stasis Tower
	3-4 x Elite Cruiser Elder Corpum Revenant/Sage
	3-4 x Battleship Blood Patriarch
	0-1 x Commander Battleship Dark Blood Cardinal

Timed wave (1 minute after warp-in)

		WD	EWAR	L
	4 x Battlecruiser Corpatis Shade/Exorcist/Bishop
	3 x Battleship Blood Patriarch/Pope

Timed wave (2 minutes after warp-in)

		WD	EWAR	L
	3-4 x Battlecruiser Corpatis Archbishop/
	1-2 x Battleship Blood Harbinger
	2-3 x Elite Cruiser Elder Corpum Shade/Phantom

Reinforcements (triggered by destroying all ships from initial defenders)

		WD	EWAR	L
	5 x Battleship Blood Pope/Harbinger

Notable structures

		WD	EWAR	L
	1 x Blood Outpost Station

Escalation dead-end
Again you let your scanners comb the remains of the station and the ships, looking for clues on this alleged raid, but alas ... nothing, not a word anywhere.

Escalation trigger

Again you let your scanners comb the remains of the station and the ships, looking for clues on this alleged raid, and before long you are holding a log listing the second rally spot and as far as you can see, the raiding parties have already departed from here and two other stations and are supposed to convene within the hour. If one of the raiding parties was supposed to come from the Blood station you destroyed originally, you have already managed to diminish their forces somewhat.

Third location

You land at a Newly Constructed Acceleration Gate.

		WD	EWAR	L
	3-4 x Battlecruiser Corpus Fanatic/Seer
	3 x Battleship Corpus Patriarch
	3 x Battleship Corpus Pope
	3 x Elite Frigate Elder Corpii Diviner/Engraver/Reaver
	0-1 x Commander Battleship Dark Blood Cardinal/Pope
