Colony Under Fire is an expedition found by completing the Serpentis Military Complex signatures. It contains four parts, each of which will be 4-8 jumps from the previous system, in null sec space.

Walkthrough

The first 3 parts of this escalation are quite easy, but the last part can be somewhat challenging.

Part 1

Access: Gateless, Open Access

In the first room you find a warp gate. Killing the NPCs allow usage of that gate to the second room. You might have a Shadow Serpentis spawn in the first room. Killing this triggers an escalation. If it is not there, going to the second room and killing the scout can trigger the escalation.

	2-3 x Frigate Coreli Guardian Safeguard
	2 x Cruiser Corelum Chief Infantry / Captain
	3-4 x Battlecruiser Corelatis Captain / High Captain / Squad Leader
	3-4 x Battleship Core Lord Admiral
	0-1 x Battleship Shadow Serpentis Admiral

Structures

		WD	EWAR	L Notable structures

Room 2

Message in local:
Serpentis Altac Scout: Send me the secret password NOW. I'm warning you ...

Second room

		WD	EWAR	L
	1 x Cruiser Serpentis Altac Scout

If the second part of the escalation triggers, you get this message.

Expeditions
Clues within the wreckage of the ship hint at where it's from: another Serpentis station. More an outpost than a station perhaps, but it is a pure military outfit, not a regular colony.

Part 2

Access: Gateless, Open Access

This part is pretty straight forward. Clear the site of NPCs, aggress the station, kill the Shadow Serpentis and get out.

		WD	EWAR	L
	12 x Battlecruiser Corelatis Captain/Captain Sentry
	13 x Battleship Core Lord Admiral/Grand Admiral

		WD	EWAR	L
	3 x Cruiser Corelum Guardian Chief/Chief Patroller
	3 x Battleship Core Lord Admiral/Grand Admiral

Escalation message

Again you let your scanner comb the remains of the station and the ships, looking for clues on this alleged raid, and before long you are holding a log listing the second rally spot and as far as you can see, the raiding parties have already departed form here and two other stations and are supposed to convene within the hour. If one of the raiding parties was supposed to come from the Serpentis station you destroyed originally, you have already managed to diminish their forces somewhat.

Part 3

Access: Gateless, Open Access

Kill the Shadow Serpentis spawn in the first room to triggers the next part of the escalation. If it is not there, going to the second room and an approach the beacon for the escalation.

If the second part of the escalation triggers, you get this message.

Escalation message
A fixed guidance beacon sitting here all alone.. you examine the thing and discover its guidance system points to a place not too far away. Perhaps that is the space trucker station? In any case, that is the only clue you have to follow, if the pirates have ever been here, they have gone already.

Part 4

Needs additional information.
