Walkthrough

Scarcity Update: This site, like other cosmic signatures, contains ore.
As of 2/15/2021, this site contained the following units:
15,000 Hemorphite (45,000m³), 25,000 (50,000m³) Jaspet (first room)
85,727 Omber (51,436m³), 835,762 Plagioiclase (second room)
3,192,395 Veldspar (throughout)
I was able to take my Orca and Skiff into the site and kill all NPCs with these ships.
Warning: Once the Boss has been destroyed, the site disappears from the Probe Scanner.
Once this happens, the site will despawn Immediately, if you abandon the site.
Keeping at least one character in the site, will prevent the despawn.

First Room

---

The acceleration gate to next room is locked until all ships have been destroyed. The missile battery does not need to be destroyed to proceed. Shooting at each group once before deploying drones avoids drone aggro. The gate to the second room is 27km from warp in.

Initial defenders

		WD	EWAR	L
Group 1
	3 x Frigate Coreli Agent/Spy
Group 2
	5 x Frigate Coreli Defender/Protector
	1 x Elite Frigate Coreli Guardian Patroller/Watchman

¹The missile battery was previously a Sansha NPC. In version 20.07, it was changed to the correct Serpentis type. You will receive Serpentis standing loss if it is destroyed.

Second Room

---

To trigger commander spawn destroy the destroyers by the solar harvesters. These destroyers are on left side when looking at the enemies. Escalation can be triggered by killing the commander or by destroying the serpentis control center.

Escalation

This site has a chance to escalate to Angel Kickbacks.

Expeditions: Angel Kickbacks
As soon as you arrive, your instruments detect a large group of ships departing. Further analysis of the data indicates this was a convoy of six to eight transport ships from the Salvation Angels accompanied by an unknown number of combat vessels. Your navigational systems have already come up with a likely destination in case you feel you have any business with them.

Failure message:

Escalation Failure
The trail seems to have run cold at this point.
