No Quarter is an Expedition that can escalate from Gurista Provincial HQ.

Walkthrough

The first two locations are doable solo, while the last two are much harder, with the final location requiring at least 1200 DPS minimum to break the overseer's tank. Even then it takes a long time due to the boss's strong active shield tank and high hitpoints, as well as high DPS that can tear apart a well-tanked T3 Cruiser with ease.

Warning: The DED 10/10 The Maze combat site is comparatively easy to this escalation. Use extreme caution unless you want to risk losing your ship.

Escalation start

As the dust settles from the battle, you receive a transmission from someone claiming to be a local vigilante who congratulates you on a job well done. Your computers run a check on his ship ID's and other info they can gather on him in such a short period of time, but come up with nothing. He is at least not a part of any pirate faction, nor seems he to represent any of the official states in the galaxy. This person continues to welcome you to the area and offers to point you to some other Gurista bases he knows about and have been a menace for the local population. If you want to come and meet him, he will lead the way.

First Location

You land on an acceleration gate. Take it if no escalation is triggered from the Dread Guristas commander.

First Pocket

No enemies in the pocket. Spy drones will warp away shortly after entry.

In local:
Teinei Kuma: Good to see you decided to come. I can not promise you any payment if you take on these Guristas bases, but you will earn fame among the locals and the fortune the Pirates leave behind. I'm going to send a couple of my spy drones to see if the Guristas are still where they were yesterday.

Escalation trigger
The radio crackles, it is the vigilante all excited, who whispers in a conspiratorial tone, "They are still here! Come quick and we shall introduce them to pain!

Escalation dead-end

After a few exciting moments waiting for further messages, a series of less interesting moments waiting still and then a few very boring moments while your patience approaches a grand finale, you decide that this stranger must have wet himself when he saw you and used the chance to hide deep inside his Industrial. Or maybe his 'spy drones' simply take forever and a day to accomplish their task. Either way you decide to abandon this farce and continue on with your business.

Second Location

In local:
Control Tower Operator: More intruders! Maybe they're connected with the spy drones we just destroyed. I bet CONCORD sent them! Take care of 'em boys!

Destroy the Guristas Control Tower if no escalation is received from the commander battleship.

Structures

	1 x Guristas Control Tower

In local on control tower destruction:
Teinei Kuma: We sure showed them! I'm actually starting to think I'll become a fighter some day. Will you teach me? Maybe after we're done ...

Escalation trigger
"We sure showed them! You're handy to have around when the missiles are flying, but there's no time to float here celebrating. We must press on! Another division of this same group happens to be close by!"

Third Location

In local on warp-in:
As you enter, you see your friend several hundred kilometers off target, complaining about something being rotten in the hydraulic system. With the Guristas on the other hand, it seems like all systems are go.

In local:

Teinei Kuma: I hope you will manage without me, but I am going to check the next and last target. It is one of the Guristas recruiting stations, they have these recruitment drives every now and then when they go through all major metropolitan areas in Caldari space, pick up from the sewers anything that is still breathing, gather them in places like these, give them some old rookie ships and beanie guns and let them have a go at each other! The better half of those who are still alive after a couple of months are taken in as Gurista pilots, the rest is shot, or sold to the Blood as refreshments! Anyways, they are just sitting there like ducks, we dont want them to get away, I will hold them busy till you arrive!

There is considerably higher damage in this pocket; mainly tank against EM and Kinetic damage.

Attacking the Guristas Annihilation Missile Battery triggers a defensive wave. Destroying it or the commander battleship may trigger escalation.
