Walkthrough

Intelligence indicates that the Crimson Hand, a militant splinter group of the Bloodraider Covenant, is currently engaged in a massive military buildup. While their continued alliance with Omir Sarikusa is in question, they do seem to be planning something big. DED Threat Assessment: Serious (6 of 10)

Warping to the site lands on an acceleration gate at 0.

Room 1

On warp in:
Gate 1 This is a waiting area for trusted black market traders that come here to trade goods (mostly slaves and weaponry) with the Crimson Hand. Security in the area is fairly light, since this is not really a part of the base proper. Caution is still advised, since the area is usually crawling with lowlife scum from every corner of the galaxy.

	1 x Sentry Crimson Sentinel
	12 x Battleship Crimson Paladin/Elder

Crimson Sentinel repairs full armor and most shields every few seconds, webs to 50 km. Save it for last, even with massive DPS it takes a long time to kill)

Rats spawn 50-60 km from landing. There are two acceleration gates 48 km from landing leading to the last two rooms of the complex.

If all player ships are greater than 60 km from the Crimson Sentinel, it won't repair its armor damage. It still repairs full shields every few seconds, but it can be killed more easily this way.
