Mission briefing

Lt. Kipo will never be the same again. He was my best operative, my closest lieutenant, and the best pirate under my command. He is a shell of a man, a mutilated sack of meat, nearly useless as a soldier. I'll have to take care of him, one way or the other… In the meantime, Kori must pay. I know he's a traitor and has been working for the Caldari Navy. What I don't have is proof, however. Lt. Kipo, though he is mostly unintelligible at this point, was able to form a coherent sentence or two. And that dumb bastard Irichi told him of some of Kori's future plans. Looks like Kori is sending our old friend Eroma to meet with the Navy very soon, and Eralen has a special transponder to get through the tough Navy security. Your mission is to ambush Eralen, grab the transponder, and enter the Caldari base. Once you have this Caldari Navy Overlay Transponder, the Navy ships won't hassle you. I think. I'm looking for a special dossier, Correspondence Log KL-513. That should be everything I need to blackmail Kori and get him out of the Guristas.

Pockets one jump away in AJCJ-1.

Message from Cilis Leglise
There's Kori's agent, Eroma Eralen. Take him out and grab his Caldari Navy Overlay Transponder. With that item in tow, you'll be able to get past the Caldari guards in the next part of this deadspace pocket. They will think you're Eroma. Be careful, though: Eroma is a wild card, and there's no telling what he'll do.

Message when approaching Eroma Eralen
Good to see you again, capsuleer. I knew we'd meet again. You caught me without my smoke and mirrors. Guess I'll have to take you out the old-fashioned way.

Message after killing Eroma Eralen
I've been bested. You'll make a fine Gurista one day, capsuleer. I think it's about time I retire from flying. Thank you for giving me a glorious end to my career…

• Eroma only turns hostile when you get closer to him.
• Eroma will drop 1 Caldari Navy Overlay Transponder upon destruction. You need this item to pass through the gate in next room.

Entry defender

		WD	EWAR	L
	1 x Battlecruiser Eroma Eralen

Room 1

Large number of passive ships. They will not be agressive unless attacked. Proceed to the next room.

Room 2

The many reinforcement waves will spawn one by one as you get closer and closer to the Caldari Bunker structure.

You either have to take stops and destroy what waves that have spawned or try to outrun them and their damage (tricky). The DPS can easily overwhelm a frigate. It's possible to kite the spawned defenders, destroy them, then approach until more defenders appear. Repeat until you are at the forcefield.

blow up the forcefield and the bunker, grab the evidence and get out of there. The evidence is dropped by the Caldari Bunker structure upon destruction. If you do not have enough dps to break the forcefield (150dps), an alternative is to destroy the Caldari Bunker structure and use a tractor beam or MTU to get the mission item.

Mission briefing

We're a big, happy family, aren't we? You thought a pirate's life was all fun and plunder, profit and murder, the thrill of being an outlaw. We have our own problems, our internal strife. Sometimes, I don't know why I chose this lifestyle. But I'm a capsuleer, and life has a different quality to it. You probably know what I'm talking about. All this backstabbing and in-fighting, these land-grabs and territorial bickering. What does this matter for a demigod? For us, it's all a matter of attrition: The last clone standing wins all the worthless, empty space in the universe. Oh well. It's fun while it lasts, right? Kori was right: This isn't over between us. It never will be. But I'll win out in the end. He'll die, I'll die, Irichi'll die. But then I'll hop into my next clone, and I'll win. That makes it worth it, right? This feud is between us Guristas; you have your own battles to fight. So fly well, egger. Maybe we'll work together again someday.

This mission ends the Guristas epic arc. Enjoy your Gila BPC and guristas standing gain.
