"Syndication" is the Gallente Epic Arc. To begin requires | "Syndication" is the Gallente Epic Arc. To begin requires 5.0 standing with either Impetus Corporation or the Gallente faction, but once begun, standing is not checked again for the duration of the arc. It is somewhat more difficult than L4 missions. I did it in a Machariel. Strongly recommend at least the equivalent of a Gist-C shield booster for tanking purposes, almost all stages involve what would be considered heavy DPS in a level 4 mission. | ||
Note that each step *does* count toward your next L4 storyline mission for the Gallente faction, although the storyline may not actually trigger until you complete a normal L4 mission. | Note that each step *does* count toward your next L4 storyline mission for the Gallente faction, although the storyline may not actually trigger until you complete a normal L4 mission. | ||

At this point you must choose to continue along one of two different branches, one that stays in hisec and the other in losec. For the initial writing of this walkthrough, I am choosing the hisec route. Perhaps in 3 months I'll fill in the losec route, if no one else gets to it first. In the meantime, it is reportedly possible to do all of the combat in the losec route in a PVP fit assault frigate, which I can't ride yet. In 3 months I should have covops and assault frigs and can try it then. For now, I can help the other carebears. | At this point you must choose to continue along one of two different branches, one that stays in hisec and the other in losec.

When you arrive and speak to Ascain Adeset, you have your second decision of the arc to make, and this one has 3 options. One of them, "Octomet Plantation", is in losec and the mission text suggests doing it in a heavy frigate or battlecruiser. The second, "Oldest Profession", requires travel through losec but the mission itself is apparently in hisec. The third choice is "Little Fingers", the hisec choice, and for this walkthrough that's the path I'll continue to take. Again, I'll try out the losec options in 3 months, or if someone else wants to do and document them here before that, go for it. | When you arrive and speak to Ascain Adeset, you have your second decision of the arc to make, and this one has 3 options.

And now comes your final choice in the arc - send the kid you spent all this time rescuing back to his family, or give him back to the bad guys. Saving him gets you the quest "Safe Returns", which does involve one last bit of combat and gets you a "Black Eagle Drone Link Augmentor", which extends drone range by 26km rather than the standard DLA 20km. (There is currently no other improved version of the DLA). If you choose to give him to the Syndicate, you get the quest "Everybody Has A Price" which nets you a Syndicate Cloaking Device, which is a better Improved Cloaking Device II, with better sensor recalibration time and shorter reactivation delay. Both prizes are nice, but I would guess that the faction improvement is better with "Safe Returns", and that's my major objective, so that's what I'm going with. | And now comes your final choice in the arc - send the kid you spent all this time rescuing back to his family, or give him back to the bad guys.
