This is a walkthrough of the Sisters of EVE epic arc. This is a work in progress - edits, additions and corrections welcome!
Introduction
The Sisters of EVE epic arc, called "The Blood-Stained Stars", is a Level 1, 50-mission connected arc with several branching points. The entire arc is fairly linear, however, and the decision points are not terribly relevant. This arc is definitely worth completing, as it provides some good experience for new pilots, along with some nice rewards and standings boosts. Most of these missions are fairly easy to complete in a frigate with entry-level skills. However, a few can be quite challenging, and require some combat skill training and perhaps a larger ship - a destroyer or cruiser.
Note that you can complete this arc once every six months. Starting the arc again wipes your previous history of completing these missions away, and you start over from scratch.
Missions Walkthrough
Part I: Quality of Mercy
Mission 1: A Beacon Beckons
Go to Arnon IX - Moon 3 and dock up at the Sisters of EVE Bureau station. Click on the Agents tab, and start a dialogue with Sister Alitura.
I ask for help, and they send me a capsuleer. You are a capsuleer, aren't you? An immortal pilot who subverts the rules of life and death, who shapes the fate of empires? You'll have to excuse my skepticism.I work with a humanitarian organization, the Sisters of EVE. I've seen your kind hasten the deaths of millions every day. You expect me to believe that you're different? To prove yourself, your actions will have to do the talking.We've just received a distress call from a ship called the Damsel, and you're the closest aid available right now. Get out there and save some lives. Prove to me you're not just another murderous liar with a god complex. With all the power at your disposal, you certainly could be a force for good. And one thing is certain: Good is in dire need of allies these days.
Objective
Approach the wrecked ships. Location: 0.8 Manarq
Rewards
Base mission reward: 100,000.00 ISK
Bonus reward for completing within 3 hours, and 56 minutes: 141,000.00 ISK
Notes
Finding the Damsel - Sometimes objects and entities found in space are not displayed in the default overview settings. Adding "Large Collidable Objects" in Celestials and "Large Collidable Structures" in Entities to the overview can reveal details such as object names.
This is a very easy mission - there is no danger of attack. You can do this mission in an unarmed shuttle, in fact. Just fly to the center of the wrecks. Check out the dreadnought wrecks - they're interesting to see. You can complete this mission remotely when you achieve the objective.
Mission 2: Agent Inquiry
We got some interesting information out of your trip. It seems no one fired on the Damsel. Something must have happened inside the ship. We'd like you to track those survivors down, see if you can get any information about the ship's path, pilot, or cargo. We need to know what caused this disaster. CONCORD is the first logical step. I’ve gotten in touch with CONCORD Agent Tevis Jak, who may have information for you. His location is being uploaded to your NeoCom: he's currently acting as an ORE agent. Go see if you can find a piece of this puzzle.
Objective
Report to Tevis Jak - Agent Location: 0.8 Tevis Jak's Iteron Mark III in Tar.
Rewards
Base mission reward: 100,000.00 ISK
Bonus reward for completing within 2 hours, and 22 minutes: 96,000.00 ISK
Notes
Another very easy mission - just fly to the agent location and start a conversation.
Mission 3: Of Interest
Talking with Tevis Jak will give you this dialogue: Yeah, I picked up the crew that outlived that explosion – pretty massive, whatever it was. I'll see if I can track down the facilities they were sent to if you can do me a favor. A bunch of pirates have been scavenging the explosion site. Go and take them out for me. It shouldn't be too much trouble for a capsuleer, and you might even find some extra information. Hell, you can probably get it done in the time I'll need to look up the rest of this data. Damn legacy systems...
Objectives
Acquire these goods: 1 x Strange Datacore (0.1 m³) - Drop-off Location: 0.8 Tar (at Tevis Jak's location)
Eliminate any pirates present at the wreck site. Location: 0.8 Manarq
Rewards
Base mission reward: 100,000.00 ISK
Bonus reward for completing within 3 hours, and 36 minutes: 86,000.00 ISK
Notes
Wave 1: 2 x Corpii Worshipper frigates
Wave 2: 3 x Corpii Herald frigates
Wave 3: 3 x Corpii Worshipper frigates
After you destroy the last wave, you'll get this dialogue from Tevis Jak: "My sensors are picking up a strange bit of tech that just dropped in that can. Open the can, take the item, and bring it to me." Pick up the "Strange Datacore", and return Tevis Jak in Manarq and start a conversation with him to complete the mission.
Mission 4: Retrieving Red
Tevis Jak tells you: Okay, I found your first guy, but it looks like he's already shipped out again. What a fighter, huh? He's down in the crew manifest as "Red", and his convoy has him listed under the same handle, so there you go. I'm giving you coordinates to intercept the convoy now. You should be able to catch them before they get too far. Go quick, though: I'm worried that they don't have enough security to deal with the number of 'rats – sorry, pirates – where they're headed. They might need your help.
Objectives
Acquire these goods: 1 x Red (1.0 m³)
Destroy the pirates, find Red and then bring him back to Tevis Jak. Location: 0.8 Tar
Rewards
Base mission reward: 100,000.00 ISK
Bonus reward for completing within 2 hours, and 26 minutes: 76,000.00 ISK
Notes
Two waves of frigates:
Wave 1: 3 x Corpii Follower frigates
Wave 2: 2 x Corpii Raider frigates
Collect Red's body from the cargo container that appears when all ships are destroyed.
Taking it back to Tevis Jak gives you this message: "Dead, is he? Figures. I'll keep the investigation open, but unless something changes there's little CONCORD can do."
Mission 5: Alerting Alitura
Tevis Jak says: "Just got a message from Sister Alitura. I sent her that weird datacore you found at the site. She says they weren't able to decipher it. Pity. Still, she's very interested in consulting with you. So go do what she wishes. The Sisters are good people."
Objectives
Report to Sister Alitura - Agent Location: 0.6 Arnon IX - Moon 3 - Sisters of EVE Bureau
Rewards
Base mission reward: 100,000.00 ISK
Bonus reward for completing within 2 hours, and 30 minutes: 79,000.00 ISK
Notes
Fly back to Sister Alitura's station in Arnon, and open a dialogue with her for the next mission.
Mission 6: Jet-Canning a Janitor
Sister Alitura says: "We have another crew member located. The ship's janitor, Nebben Centrien, is stationed at a small outpost. We hope he'll have a lead on where some of the other personnel are recuperating. In light of what happened to Red, I'd like you to bring him back here once you've found him – for his own safety, you understand."
Objectives
Kill the pirates, find Nebben Centrien, Janitor (3.0 m³) and return him to Sister Alitura.
Rewards
Base mission reward: 100,000.00 ISK
Bonus reward for completing within 5 hours, and 2 minutes: 205,000.00 ISK
Notes
Colorful mission note: Janitors - If you think it’s easy to find people to take on the janitor role between the stars -- well, it’s not, okay? Janitors are in high demand, especially in places frequented by capsuleers, who are not exactly famous for cleaning up after themselves.
Wave 1: 2 x Coreli Spy frigates
Wave 2: 4 x Coreii Scout frigates
After destroying the enemy ships, you'll get a message from Nebben: "Yeah, I know where Aubrei--the ship's cook--was headed, but I'll need a terminal to give you the coordinates. A terminal in a safe station. I'm not stupid." Collect Nebben from the cargo container and return to Sister Alitura's station.
Mission 7: Chivvying a Chef
Sister Alitura says: "We got the information from Nebben, but there's a problem. It appears Aubrei Azil, the ship's cook, has shipped out as well. There's no way they would all get reassignments so soon after an incident like this. They’re being shuffled through the system so we don't find them. And then there're the drones…. You need to find Aubrei. If we follow this long enough, we might discover who doesn't want the truth uncovered."
Objectives
Rescue Aubrei Azil (3.0 m³) - Location: 0.6 Arnon
Rewards
Base mission reward: 100,000.00 ISK
Bonus reward for completing within 1 hour, and 46 minutes: 68,000.00 ISK
Notes
Colorful mission note: Vital Staff - A good ship’s cook is a valuable asset. It’s much easier to keep morale up when you don’t have to rely solely on generic frozen food. Real chefs who are willing to work in the often-cramped conditions aboard ships are in high demand.
Upon arriving, Azil will transmit: "Hey, could you give me a hand, here? The damn things took out my propulsion; I'm dead in the water!" As you approach his transport, the enemy will appear:
Wave 1: 2 x Splinter Alvi rogue drone frigates, at 25km range
Wave 2: 4 x Splinter Alvi rogue drone frigates, at 20km range
You do not need to attack any of the enemy - you can simply get Azil aboard and head back to Sister Alitura's station. However, if you do destroy the rogue drones, Sister Alitura will say: "Rogue drones? Hmm. Well, bring Azil back here and we'll see what we can do for him."
Return to the SoE Bureau station in Arnon to complete the mission.
Mission 8: Delivering a Doctor
Sister Alitura tells you: "We’ve located the doctor from the wrecked ship. Unfortunately, we’ve located her by way of a ransom demand. We want this doctor alive, so we're going to pay it. Luckily they just want planetary currency, so the real ISK value is minimal. I'll put the money in your hangar when you accept this mission. I need you to take the ransom to the designated drop location. They’re to drop off the doctor as soon as you drop off the money. That’s the plan, anyway. I’d be prepared for a double-cross, just in case."
Objectives:
Deliver ransom money (provided by Sister Alitura) for Dr. Lujia Elban (1.0 m³) - Location: 0.6 Arnon. Then deliver Dr. Elban to the SoE Bureau station in Arnon.
Rewards
Base mission reward: 100,000.00 ISK
Bonus reward for completing within 2 hours, and 18 minutes: 85,000.00 ISK
Notes
Be sure to put the "A Lot of Money" item (3.0 m³) into your ship cargo hold before leaving the station.
You will warp in 15km from a container called "Dead Drop". After placing the money in the container, the pirates will appear and attack you.
Wave 1: 2 x Coreli Agent frigates, at 25km range
Wave 2: 3 x Coreli Spy frigates, at 25-30km range
After destroying the second wave, approach and loot the dropped Cargo Container. Move Dr. Elban into your ship cargo hold. Return to the SoE Bureau station to report back to Sister Alitura and complete the mission.
Mission 9: Engineering a Rescue
Sister Alitura reports: "We've gone a long way, but we've found the key survivor. Her name is Tahaki Karin. She was the engineer on the main ship from the ruined fleet, and she's signed on to the crew of the Heartbreak. She may be the only one who knows what really happened. You know the drill by now: Get out there and get her before someone else does. I’m fairly certain there’ll be someone there to shoot at you."
Objective
Rescue Engineer Tahaki Karin (1.0 m³) from her ship, The Heartbreak - Location: 0.6 Arnon
Rewards
Base mission reward: 100,000.00 ISK
Bonus reward for completing within 1 hour, and 48 minutes: 75,000.00 ISK
Notes
You will warp in about 20km from The Heartbreak, and Tahaki Karin will transmit a panicked distress call. 3 x Infester Alvi rogue drone frigates will be closing in, at 25km range.
Approach The Heartbreak to loot it and bring Karin into your cargo hold. If you destroy the first set of rogue drones, a second wave will appear at 5-10km ranges consisting of 4 x Decimator Alvi rogue drone frigates. Note: you do not need to destroy any of the rogue drones to complete this mission.
Mission 10: Going Gallente
Sister Alitura reports: "Remember the strange datacore you found? We've determined that it must have been made by rogue drones of some kind. I’m sending you to Gallente space, where I’ve contacted someone who can help you continue this investigation. Her name is Delphine Xarasier, an agent for CreoDron and the daughter of their chief researcher. We've tapped out our other leads for now, which leaves us in need of more information on drones, and she can certainly give you that."
Objective
Report to Delphine Xarasier: located in 0.8 Harerget V - Moon 1 - CreoDron Factory
Rewards
Base mission reward: 100,000.00 ISK
Bonus reward for completing within 6 hours: 217,000.00 ISK
Notes
No worries here - just set destination and travel to Harerget, eight high sec jumps away, and dock at the CreoDron Factory station.
Mission 11: Studying the Scene
Check in with Delphine Xarasier, who then tells you: "Alitura said you needed more information about some kind of drone problem. The Sisters have referred a few promising capsuleers in the past, so I’m willing to give you a chance, but I can't do anything else until this mess I'm dealing with has been taken care of. If you could retrieve some drones from Harerget, that would speed things up considerably. You see, every drone in that system has ceased responding to signals. That just doesn’t happen with Federation technology… unless the drones have been destroyed. Our research and development team needs whatever components still exist in order to analyze the remains. Fly out there and bring back one of the drones – or any parts that might remain. You'll need to be careful. There were no signs of other ships in the system, so I have no idea what could have destroyed our drones."
Objectives
Retrieve the Corrupted Drone Components (1.0 m³) and return them to Delphine Xarasier - Location: 0.8 Harerget
Rewards
Base mission reward: 100,000.00 ISK
Bonus reward for completing within 2 hours, and 42 minutes: 60,000.00 ISK
Notes
Colorful mission note: Early Drones - The first drones in the Gallente-Caldari war were little more than mines with proximity detonators and limited movement, but soon they advanced to a level where a single drone rivaled a solo-fighter’s capabilities. The drones reversed the tide of the war and helped create a stalemate between the two empires.
You will warp in at 36 km from the Corrupted Drone container. Head towards that container to loot it. At 45-50 km, 3 x "Broken Duvolle Laboratories Recon Drone will be orbiting. You can ignore these drones completely - they will not attack. If you do attack them, they will pop quickly - and interestingly, the names of their wrecks become 2 x Mammon Apis Wreck and 1 x Belphegor Apis Wreck.
Return to Delphine in the CreoDron station to complete the mission.
Mission 12: Rendering Assistance
Delphine says: "A recently established colony still depends on Federation support for items they can’t produce yet. Their last shipment of medical supplies was lost en route, and we think it may be due to rogue drone action. Regardless, this batch of supplies needs to get through. Lives are depending on it."
Objective
Deliver the antibiotics to the Colonial Supply Depot - Location: 0.8 Harerget
Rewards
Base mission reward: 100,000.00 ISK
Bonus reward for completing within 1 hour, and 40 minutes: 41,000.00 ISK
Notes
Colorful mission note: Colonial Supplies - The Gallente Federation emphasizes personal freedoms and accomplishments, but they also believe in providing the tools for personal advancement. Gallente believe in ”investing in the future,” so shipments of supplies for new colonies are almost always supported by lobbyists and the government. History has shown that the returns generated over the years more than repay the initial investment.
Be sure to load the 1 x Antibiotics into your ship cargo bay before leaving the station.
