Mission briefing

The shining star in this holoreel project of mine is a fairly high profile individual, as you might expect. His name is Ralie Ardanne; the son of a low-profile Senator. He's a real knockout at fourteen years old, and he already has a budding endorsements empire with all the major clothing labels. Now he's looking to expand into holoreels, which is where Impetus comes in. His parents have prospered from senatorial life, and they spared no expense on Ralie's cosmetic enhancements. It shows too: He really makes a mark in the 12-16 year old female demographic. Of course, a boy his age and with his connections shouldn't be travelling the spacelanes unguarded. I was hoping you'd be interested in meeting him at his father's senatorial residence? It wouldn't be every day you get to see a place like that, <Character>, even as an egger. What do you say?

Mission can be accepted and completed remotely. When you arrive on the mission area things aren't the way they should. In first room you meet a shuttle that is trying to get the kid to safety and jumps to the next room through the acceleration gate. As you approach the acceleration gate a hostile fleet arrives. When you arrive to the next room the wreck of the shuttle is surrounded by a fleet of Republic tribal ships.

You need to use salvager module on the wreck. There is no need to engage the hostile ships if you can tank them for the duration of salvaging. The shuttle is 40 km from warpin so bring either fast ship that can reach it before tank breaks or a tanky ship that can sustain its tank while approaching the target. The slower option is to thin out the enemy ships before approaching the wreck.

Gates in this mission are not locked. There is no need to kill any enemies if you can complete the objective under fire.

Blitz: Rush to the gate in first room ignoring enemy ships. Rush to the wreck in second room as fast as possible and salvage it.

Tip: MWD helps with speed. You can use MJD to jump away in second room luring the enemies with you. You can then jump directly at the wreck and salvage in peace.

First room

The Acceleration Gate to next room is not locked. The hostile ships will spawn soon after the shuttle departs. No Faction standing loss for destroying Minmatar ships.
