General Info

The Serpentis Corporation Hydroponics Site is a Cosmic Signature of the DED Complex (rated 5/10) type, occupied by the Serpentis pirate faction. It can be found via exploration by probing in Highsec systems, though the frequency with which the site appears in Highsec is vanishingly low, and, much more commonly, in Lowsec systems.

The site consists of a volume of space with an acceleration gate and contains various structures and their defending pirates. Using the gate allows access to other areas within the site. When attacked, the defenders may send multiple waves of reinforcements. Each group's appearance is triggered by the destruction of members of the previous group. The names and amount of ships listed may vary slightly, but will always be of Battleship class or smaller.

This site's acceleration gate allows only Battleship class ships or lower and their Tech 2 equivalents to enter the site.

The location of this complex can be received as an escalation from a Cosmic Anomaly, in particular, the Serpentis Den and Serpentis Rally Point. Upon such a discovery, the following message appears: "Your scanner has picked up a transmission originating from a nearby system. It would be wise to investigate this mysterious signal further"

Walkthrough

On Warp in:
The Serpentis are doing quite well for themselves in the narcotics department. Trafficking sites are bustling with activity and security. Security forces should be mindful of any Sarpati family enforcers. DED Threat Assessment: 5 of 10.

Room 3

On Warp In:
Enemy Detected: It's not every day you get to meet and kill an enforcer for the Sarpati family. Looks like you get to today.

There are three Stasis Towers (See Below) about 35-45km from the warp in point that grab you straight away. The incoming damage while webbed is quite high so have a plan for this in advance.

	1 x Destroyer Corelior Trooper
	9-10 x Cruiser Corelum Chief Defender/Chief Infantry/Chief Sentinel

Enforcer Eliminated: That was fun. You can be sure the Sarpati family has heard about this and written your name down somewhere. Oh well. Time to collect his loot.
