Gurista Surveillance Squad

Gurista Surveillance Squad is an Expedition that can escalate from Provisional Gurista Outpost.

Walkthrough

First Location(lowsec)

If Dread Guristas does not spawn, take the Newly Constructed Acceleration Gate into the second room and approach the beacon.

Defenders at 10-20 km

		WD	EWAR	L
	4 x Elite Frigate Dire Pithi Wrecker/Destructor
	1 x Commander Cruiser Dread Guristas Annihilator
	4 x Battlecruiser Pithatis Executor

Upon Dread Guristas destruction
The station databanks contain information on the Gurista security network and among it; a location of yet another station similar to this one. That is your best clue as to where the ships that fled as you entered have gone.

Second Location(lowsec)

First Pocket

If Dread Guristas does not spawn, take the Newly Constructed Acceleration Gate into the second room and destroy the Gurista Security Outpost.

Defenders

		WD	EWAR	L
	3 x Elite Cruiser Dire Pithum Inferno/Mortifier
	1 x Commander Cruiser Dread Guristas Killer
	4 x Battlecruiser Pithatis Enforcer/Executor

Second Pocket

Very large number of ships. DPS can be very high if all ships aggro.

Defenders(40-50 km)

	7-8 x Frigate Pithi Arrogator/Wrecker/Destructor/...

Structures

	1 x Gurista Security Outpost

Escalation trigger
To your dismay, the main computers of the station took a direct hit during your assault and any information that might have been there has now gone up in smoke. However, your instruments ran through the data from the fleeing ships and have come up with this location as a suggestion to where they might have warped.

Third Location(lowsec)

EWAR is not confirmed. If no Dread Guristas cruiser spawns, take the gate into the second room.

Defenders at 0 km

		WD	EWAR	L
	2 x Elite Frigate Dire Pithi Arrogator/Imputor
	4 x Elite Cruiser Dire Pithum Annihilator/Killer
	1 x Commander Cruiser Dread Guristas Inferno
	4 x Battlecruiser Pithatis Assaulter/Death Dealer

Escalation continuing
It looks like the most interesting of these Gurista ships got away during the fight. Luckily for you though, one of its communication devices seems to be malfunctioning for no apparent reason sending out a constant stream of screeching sounds. Your instruments have no problem tracing where it is coming from. It is an extremely irritating sound. Aggravating too. The screeching of doom.

Fourth Location(nullsec or lowsec, can vary)

		WD	EWAR	L
	1 x Dostan
	6 x Sentry Guristas Heavy Missile Battery
	3-4 x Destroyer Pithior Anarchist/Terrorist
	5-6 x Cruiser Pithum Abolisher/Eraser

Escalation end
For a while there, you almost wished you had brought more friends with you and you are relieved you managed to blow the station before more could scramble against you. You are also relieved you managed to kill off that blasted gurgle sound. Permanently.
