Religious Fury is an Expedition that can escalate from Blood Raider Base. It is a rare expedition compared to similar ones in nullsec.

Walkthrough

The expedition consists of two parts.

Escalation start
As you blow up the Blood raider chapel, a strong electromagnetic pulse erupts, threatening to knock out your instruments, but after a few milliseconds of quantum level queasiness, they reel back and start going around their business as usual. A short while later, one of your scanning modules reports readings of a similar electromagnetic anomaly in a system not so far away.

First Location

Ungated pocket. You land among four Blood Raider Chapels. Shoot them to trigger escalation if none is gotten from the Dark Blood commander.

		WD	EWAR	L
	3-4 x Elite Frigate Elder Corpii Collector/Seeker
	2-3 x Battlecruiser Corpatis Bishop/Seer/Shade/Exorcist/Phantom
	5-7 x Battleship Corpus Apostle/Oracle
	0-1 x Commander Battleship Dark Blood Apostle

Structures

		WD	EWAR	L
	4 x Blood Raider Chapel

Escalation dead-end

The cathedral erupts in a ball of flames, quickly subdued by the lack of oxygen. Then there is a second explosion, an enormously powerful nuclear thunder, accompanied by a huge electromagnetic pulse. Then a few milliseconds later, your instruments manage to pick up another pulse, much fainter, distant. You have no idea where it came from and the pulse seems to have confused your computer long enough that it has no record of the event.

Escalation trigger

The cathedral erupts in a ball of flames, quickly subdued by the lack of oxygen. Then there is a second explosion, an enormously powerful nuclear thunder, accompanied by a huge electromagnetic pulse. Despite this local electric storm, your instruments manage to pick up another pulse a few milliseconds later, in another system not far away. How this distant pulse got here in such a short time is a mystery, but there it is, no doubt about it.

Second Location

There are two possible scenarios for this second part: one which is fairly easy, and a harder one with the overseer spawn.

Easier scenario

In local (on warp-in)
Blood High Priest: It's them, the heathens! They destroyed our sacred church! Attack the non-believers, we shall burn them at the stake after they are captured!

The Blood High Priest repairs other enemy ships until it is destroyed. Advise destroying it first if you want to take out the other rats.

		WD	EWAR	L
	4-6 x Elite Frigate Elder Corpii Herald/Upholder/Seeker/...
	2-3 x Cruiser Corpum Arch Priest/Arch Sage
	3-4 x Battleship Corpus Archbishop/Harbinger
	1 x Commander Battleship Blood High Priest

In local (High Priest attacked)
The High Priest has started to send small repair drones in all directions, repairing nearby enemy vessels.

Harder scenario

In local (on warp-in)
Blood High Priest: Intruders! I bet they've come to laugh at our misfortune. Grab them and bring them before me.

Initial spawn

		WD	EWAR	L
	3 x Elite Cruiser Elder Corpum Dark Priest/Shadow Sage
	3 x Battlecruiser Corpatis Exorcist/Phantom
	7 x Battleship Corpus Archbishop/Harbinger
	1 x Commander Battleship Blood High Priest

In local (overseer spawn)
Dark Templar Uthius: What goes on here ?! I leave for only a few moments and all hell has broken loose. It seems I will need to ... restore order in this holy place once again.

Dark Templar Uthius hits for about 760 EM and Thermal damage at a long range, although his tank isn't anything special. He orbits you at 38 km.

Overseer spawn

		WD	EWAR	L
	8 x Elite Frigate Blood Disciple/Wraith
	3 x Battleship Uthius's Disciple (Corpus Harbinger/Monsignor/Oracle)
	1 x Overseer Battleship Dark Templar Uthius

Expedition end

Somehow the two cathedrals destruction must have been connected, just as when you destroyed the first one, it blew up the fourth cathedral by the huge arkonor stone back there. Nothing hints to why ones destruction marks doom for the other, you only hope it has nothing to do with divine intervention. If that were the case there would be a God out there somewhere to whom you owed a good many cathedrals ...

Loot

Typical loot from the Dark Blood battleship and the Blood High Priest includes dog tags and faction ammunition. Dark Templar Uthius can drop Corpus C-Type modules and in rare cases a Bhaalgorn BPC.
