Final Notes

At the end of Mission 7 you should have a nice reward:

• Reward: 1 Dread Guristas ECM Multispectral Jammer

At the end of Mission 11b or 12a you should have your final mission reward:

• Reward: 1 one run Gila blueprint copy + Guristas Pirates faction standing

Be careful getting your loot out. It was a lot of work to get through all this and it would be a pity to lose your =rewards on your way back to highsec.
