Chasing the Dragon

This article should be cleaned up or improved.
The reason is: More Info Needed

This is an expedition found by completing Angel Lookout anomalies. It may contain up to four parts.

The high-sec parts are un-gated deadspace. The low-sec part is a two-room gated complex.

Part 1

• Total: 930K (Bounties: 121K Salvage: 607K Loot: 202K )

		WD	EWAR	L
Group 1: 15km
	4 x Frigate Gistii Rogue/Hijacker
Group 2: 75km
	4 x Frigate Gistii Thug/Outlaw
	1 x Frigate Domination Thug
	1 x Cruiser Gistum Depredator

Escalation continuation
Here the pirates have ditched one of their damaged frigates, you manage to enter its navigation systems and retrieve the last entered coordinates.

Part 2

• Total: 450K (Bounties: 182K Salvage: 50K Loot: 150K )

		WD	EWAR	L
Group 1: 20km
	4 x Frigate Gistii Rogue/Hijacker/Thug/Outlaw
	1 x Frigate Domination Nomad
	2 x Cruiser Gistum Predator/Depredator

Escalation message
You made a short story of this feeble ambush, but now it is obvious the pirates know you are on their trail! While you are fighting, your scanners analyze and compare the information you receive from the enemy ships to your onboard databanks. It is clear that some of these ships are carrying prisoners.

Dead end message
This distraction maneuver seems to have succeeded. While you were busy expediting this ambush the pirates disappeared, their main force seems to have vanished into thin air.

Part 3

• Total: 1.5M (Bounties: 200K Salvage: 783K Loot: 567K )

		WD	EWAR	L
Group 1: 65km
	2 x Frigate Gistii Thug/Outlaw
	3 x Destroyer Gistior Haunter/Shatterer/Defiler
	1 x Frigate Domination Ambusher
	2 x Cruiser Gistum Predator

Escalation message
Enemy analysis report indicates that you are close to a drug distributor conditioning unit, where Angels are known to bring kidnapped persons from neighboring systems, make them addicted to various drugs, brainwash and train them as drug dealers, before sending them back to their home. Your best chance to beat these pirates is to get to the remaining ships before they reach their destination.

Part 4 - LOW SEC (Possible High Sec)

• This stage has an initial gate and 2 pockets.
• Possible High Sec escalation confirmed (imgur) on 17/01/2017 by Zirio on the Lanngisi system.

First pocket

• Defenders: 8 Gistii type pirates.
• I assumed that all the pirates must be dead to use the acceleration gate to the second pocket.
• There were 44 Veldspar asteroids in this pocket.

Second pocket

• Defenders: 7 Gistii type, 4 Gistior type, and 1 Domination type pirate.
• There were 51 Veldspar asteroids in this pocket.
• Total: 270K (Bounties: 118K Salvage: ? - I did not come back to get the salvage Loot: 152K )

Expedition complete message

Surprisingly the Angels chose to stay and defend this vile place to their last ship. Even though you didn't manage to rescue any of their captivies, this installation will not be of any use to the pirates for a long time and looking at it in a clinical way, this end is probablly for the best for everyone as the human wrecks this place produced will not be spreading the pleasures of doom to untold thousands of people throughout this region.

Rewards

The commander rats may drop Gistii A-type modules.
