Walkthrough

This site is similar to the Blood Vigil.

Upon warping to the site you will land at an ancient acceleration gate.

Shortly after warp-in
Previous explorers have commented that one of the gates requires a passkey. Alternatively, it can be bypassed by meddling with the security system inside the Blood Raider Chapel. The overseer guards the Battlestation vigorously.

First Pocket

Sentries can be ignored, although blow them up if you cannot tank their damage. Destroy the stasis towers though.

Initial defenders

		WD	EWAR	L
	1 x Blood Raider Chapel
	6 x Sentry Blood Cruise Missile Battery
	2 x Sentry Blood Stasis Tower
	1 x Elite Cruiser Elder Corpum Dark Priest/Shadow Sage
	3 x Battleship Corpus Cardinal/Monsignor

In local (chapel aggression)
Someone has attacked the Blood Raider Chapel, guard ships immediately appear nearby in a desperate attempt to defend it!

Chapel aggression wave

		WD	EWAR	L
	4 x Elite Frigate Elder Corpii Raider/Diviner
	1-2 x Elite Cruiser Elder Corpum Arch Priest/Arch Sage
	4-5 x Battleship Corpus Archbishop/Harbinger

In local (chapel destroyed)
The destruction of the chapel has caused a strange sound to emit briefly from the nearby acceleration gate.

Be wary of Elite Frigates, as variants that web and warp disrupt can spawn instead.

Structures

	1 x Acceleration Gate

Second Pocket

Like its Blood Vigil counterpart, the second room of this complex contains 4 structures named "Powerful EM Forcefield". They should be blown up upon entering this room, as they will provide insane reps to all enemies in this pocket.

Escalation

Upon killing the Corpus Station Manager, this site may escalate to Blood Raider Powergrid. If you receive the escalation, the message is:

Escalation message
Blood Raider Powergrid This hidden outpost seems to have played a vital role in the Blood Raiders expansion in the area. The fact that this operation is now history surely slows down whatever plans they had. Among one of the wreckages you locate co-ordinates for an energy harvesting facility nearby. Whether you explore it or not is your decision.
