Mission briefing
Welcome back, soldier. We've found Dagan. Couldn't have done it without those interrogation tapes. He's looking to leave the station you mentioned, but we can catch up to him. Our strike force is already on their way to the station. It'll take a capsuleer to shoot down a capsuleer, though. This is your show, pilot. Kick some ass.

Your selected agent will tell you to fly to the designated location to take out Dagan.

This is the third and final difficult mission of the epic arc. It is even more difficult then Mission 48: Chasing Shadows and Mission 28: Burning Down the Hive.

Dagan is flying an exotic Society of Conscious Thought battlecruiser: a Gnosis. Dagan's ship repairs its shields and armor at about 100HP/s, so you'll need to bring a ship that can deal more than 100DPS. You can preview how much you DPS your ship is doing in the ship fitting screen. It is recommended to bring a destroyer or a cruiser.

How do I survive?

While Dagan uses a target painter, he cannot otherwise attack at the beyond 30km and moves at close to 300m/s, so an afterburner can help stay at the desired range. If using a long range ship like a Caracal with Heavy Missiles, just align away from the station. Dagan's armor resists are EM 85, Th 81.25, Kin 77.5, Ex 73.75 in both armor and shields.

Tactics

Dispatch the 4 escorts first. Lead them away from Dagan by manually piloting your ship. Double left click to fly the ship in a specific direction.

Now only Dagan remains. Reload your weapons. Fire your afterburners to close in quickly. When you are in 500m orbit around Dagan turn off your afterburner and start shooting. Expect to fight Dagan for more than a minute.

Dagan's lowest resist is Explosive (74%).
