Nation on the Rise is an expedition obtained through completion of Sansha Watch combat sites. This expedition consists of 4 different open area locations (no Acceleration gate) starting in a high security system and ending in a low security system but it can suddenly end at any step in the chain. NPC ship class encountered is Frigate, Destroyer, Cruiser, Battlecruiser and Battleship hulls.

Warning: Elite NPC's do medium lite EWAR - Tracking Disruption, Web and Warp Scram.

Location 1

Escalation message on warp-in
All you see here are military installations and surveillance equipment, nothing that suggests this is a self sufficient base. As you warp in, a couple of ships are departing and you manage to get an approximate lock on their destination.

The initial ships will not auto-aggro on warp-in. You may have to fly some distance away from them to get within warp-in range of the Sansha ships.

In local
More ships have undocked from the Sansha Control Outpost!

Warping into the site appears to sometimes prematurely trigger the second spawn, possibly due to proximity to the Sansha Control Outpost.

Location 2

Escalation message on warp-in
This looks to be the same sort of outpost, but this time the watchers are more awake and you see a Sansha armada storm towards you. One of the ships turns away immediately though and jumps. It looks like your choices are to chase it or stay and fight.

Please note: Warping out may cause the site to disappear from your Expeditions list. Bookmark the beacon to allow you to return.

Sansha Tower Sentry III can shoot up to 250km and can deal about 200~250 dps at max range. True Sansha commander is considerably faster than the other ships and will quickly approach you.

Hint: If you are only interested in the Faction npc, he is considerably faster then the other ships. It is possible to simply tank the Sentry Towers and wait for him to get close. Warp to site

Escalation message
Just before the Sansha ship blew apart, it sent out a distress call. Not that it would have helped you any, except that this call got almost an immediate reply. Your instruments have pinpointed the origins of this transmission and the resulting location glows in small, warm, orange letters on your otherwise dull looking navigation panel.

Location (Low Security)

Warning: Your ship can be freely attacked by others - NO CONCORD INTERVENTION - in Low Security Systems (0.1 to 0.4) and Null Security Systems (0.0)

Hint: Always check Star Map statistics (Active ships, Ship kills, Pod kills, etc) of Low Security and Null Security systems first before entering. Fitting a Cloaking Device module on your ship and making more than one Safe spot will provide more safety.

In local on warp-in
Looks like the Sansha have been constructing something huge here, probably a station ....

Repair Drones active
The Repair Drones busily repair nearby Centus ships.

Repair Drones inactive
The Repair Drones busily repair nearby Centus ships, but seem to have run out of power for the time being.

The Repair Drone cruisers will periodically remote rep all hostile NPCs in this pocket for about 50-75 DPS worth while they are active.

Initial defenders @ 20 to 60km

		WD	EWAR	L
	1 x Sentry Sansha Stasis Tower
	6 x Sentry Sansha Tower Sentry II
	4 x Destroyer Centior Devourer
	3 x Cruiser Centum Fiend
	2 x Cruiser Repair Drone

Upon attacking the Repair Drones
Centus ships have undocked from a nearby Starbase Hangar! Centus Colony General: You dare attack my repair drones! Do you know how many slaves went into building those beauties? I'll have your head on a platter delivered straight to my Master for this barbaric attack!

Centus Colony General will use MWD to catch up to you if you are over 40km away, so it can be kited away from the other rats with good piloting. Speed-tanking T1 cruiser with AB and 60+ km range weapons can comfortably snipe it. It does ~100 DPS EM/Th with its turrets at ranges under 20km.

Please note: Centus Colony General has a 9,375,000.00 ISK Bounty and can drop True Sansha and Centii A-Type modules.

Upon attacking the Centus Colony General
More Centus ships undock from a nearby Starbase Hangar to defend their leader!

Upon destroying the Centus Colony General
If the Sansha outposts you passed earlier were part of some sort of a complex with this place extended as a future centerpiece, their operation in the area seems have taken on a manner more large and ambitious than you have ever seen before.
