New Slaves

New Slaves is a 5 part mission chain issued by Distribution division agents. It consists of 2 Courier and 3 Encounter missions.

New Slaves - Indoctrination (1 of 5)

Level	1
Type	Courier
Objective	Deliver 20x Slaves (100 m3)

Mission briefing
I have a fresh shipment of slaves here that need to be vaccinated, prepped, and properly indoctrinated. Please take them to our facility at <Station>.

In Minmatar space

Undock Confirmation
Your ship is carrying at least one item (Slaves) which is contraband somewhere. Are you sure you wish to undock?

Avoid this mission chain from this point forward if you value your Minmatar Republic faction standings.

New Slaves - Insurgency (2 of 5)

Level	1
Type	Encounter
Objective	Kill Zira; return escaped slaves to agent.
Faction	Minmatar Republic
Best damage to deal	Ex Kin
Damage to resist	Ex Kin
EWAR	Target Painting by Republic Gleeda
Standing loss	-0.24 to Minmatar for destroying Stolen Personnel Transport

Mission briefing

Oh, they have their uses, I assure you. Just rule them with an iron hand, my friend. Anyway, it seems a woman named Zira started an uprising among those new slaves almost the moment they arrived at the indoctrination facility. It was a bloody affair, and several guards and innocent citizens were killed or wounded. This insubordination cannot be tolerated. You are to hunt down Zira, terminate her with extreme prejudice as a lesson to them all, and recapture the other escaped slaves. Don't waste any time. We've tracked them to a deadspace location, but they may be planning to jump out of the system even as we speak. I've uploaded their location to your NeoCom.

Ungated, single pocket.

Message when jumping back to the agents solar system

Hand over contraband?
Minmatar Republic has discovered the contraband which you are transporting. If you decline to hand it over, your ship will be destroyed. Do not be alarmed, while we are waiting for for your response, one of our number will target, warp scramble and stasis web you – for your safety ….

Handing over the slaves incurred a 60.000 ISK fine and -0.1 standing loss towards Minmatar Republic.

Surprisingly the slaves where still in the cargo hold when reporting back to the agent so the mission could be completed.

New Slaves - A New Rebellion (3 of 5)

Level	1
Type	Courier
Objective	Deliver 1x Encoded Data Chip (0.1 m3)

Mission briefing

Zira, the slave leader you dispatched for us, might have been a Minmatar agent sent into our slave population to foment rebellion among the masses. This is intolerable. However, we must verify that she was indeed a spy, and our databanks here are inadequate to this task. Take this data chip for examination at <Station>. Intelligence personnel there will compare our data with theirs, and hopefully we will get a match.

New Slaves - Double Trouble (4 of 5)

Level	1
Type	Encounter
Objective	Defeat all enemies; learn the identity of Zira's contact.
Faction	Minmatar Republic
Best damage to deal	Ex Kin
Damage to resist	Ex Kin
EWAR	Target Painting by Republic Gleeda
Ship size limit	Cruiser
Standing loss	-0.24 towards Minmatar Republic for destroying Minmatar Republic's Minmatar Point Defense Battery.

Mission briefing

I think you can, yes. Are you ready for another mission, a truly important one? Good. We did intercept an encrypted transmission from Zira's contact. How could a naked slave with no possessions receive a transmission, you ask? We sent a recovery team to pick up Zira's remains, and we discovered that she had a cybernetic transceiver implanted in her brain. Not a simple cybernetic implant, but something bio-electrical, beyond our current technology, deep in her cerebral cortex. Her contact identified himself only as "Helter." We don't know who he is, but we think, from examinations of his speech patterns, that he is Amarrian. The coordinates of the rendezvous were included in the transmission, and I've uploaded them into your data bank. Go out there and see who we're dealing with. But be careful.

Mission briefing

Excellent. This is our chance to apprehend Jowai and make him pay — as well as getting some useful intelligence from him. Intel has determined that he is meeting his Minmatar handlers in a remote pocket of deadspace in the <System> system. Our ships are too far away, and you've shown great courage and resourcefulness up till now. Get out there and catch him, <Pilot>, and bring him in to face Imperial Justice. Our interrogators are quite... skilled. And you will be well rewarded, of course.

Garmasi Jowai: You mindless, subordinate fool! Are you a lap-furrier to be led around a cute little leash? There is no freedom in the Empire, and I'll no longer bend my neck to those centuries-old, half-machine abominations in the High Council!
