Mission briefing

You have no idea how much you frightened the Navy with that last strike. They're completely demoralized and retreating to a rally point in a nearby deadspace pocket. Turns out, they had a carrier waiting in their midst to bring extra destruction to our members. Well, we'll take care of that. The fleet is pinned down, but we're having trouble getting to them. They've locked themselves in the pocket, only allowing shuttles to get through their gates. We thought we'd have a large siege on our hands, but a rather brilliant idea came to me. I am, of course, a capsuleer like yourself; we think differently than the mortals we have to deal with. Time for a suicide run. Doesn't that sound like fun? We'll give you a shuttle to take specifically for this mission. (We have quite a stockpile of useless Caldari shuttles, for some reason.) You can join our talented Guristas Capsuleer Fleet, which specializes in suicide missions. Meet with the fleet at the deadspace pocket, pick up some of our “dirty” explosives from a fellow fleet member, and fly at the carrier. You'll lose the shuttle, but you'll take out that carrier. I wish I could go on this mission, but I've got my own orders to follow. You will lose this shuttle that we have provided you, but you won't get podded. However, you will be a very easy target for wayward pirates in the area. Not to worry, though: You can minimize the risk for this mission. Besides, I'll make sure that you're handsomely rewarded for this effort. Hell, the thrill of the kill should be enough, right?

This mission requires you to just fly through an deadspace complex in a shuttle. The acceleration gates in site will not allow any other ship types through. 1 Caldari Shuttle (500.0 m3) will be granted to you when accepting this mission.

You will lose your ship during this mission. Your pod is safe in mission but traveling in null in pod can be dangerous.
