Mission briefing

Thanks to your work back at the comms tower, we've discovered the locations of a budding Navy fleet. This Navy group is much larger than ones we've seen in recent times. It looks like they're trying to weaken our hold on the fringe systems and consolidate power in Venal. Not quite a bad plan on paper, to be completely honest. But they're becoming cocky, expecting to sneak up on us and take out our forces with ease. We'll do them one better, though, and surprise them. If we strike first, they won't be able to muster their forces enough to overwhelm us. And that's where you come in. The fleet is docked at a fueling station, preparing for their attack. They're sitting ducks, or fish in a barrel, or whatever cliché you want to use. What makes this a great opportunity for us is their fueling depots. Those silos have enough energy stored in them to take out three fleets, if they happen to catch on fire. And that's what you'll be doing. Destroy at least one of the fuel depots, which will cascade and destroy the surrounding ships. Ignore the big ships and go straight for the fuel depots. There may be some guards there, but your main targets are the fuel depots. This is way more bang for your buck than you were expecting, huh?

Blitz: destroy ships at warp in and take the Acceleration Gate. Destroy Fuel Depot Alpha and warp out.

Tips:

• You will lose 1.2% Caldari State Faction Standing for each Caldari Stasis Tower you destroy
• Don't stay and fight; destroy any Fuel Depot and warp out
• Watch out for Elite Frigates as they Warp Scramble
• Frigates and Destroyers are not harmed by the Fuel Depot explosion
• Each battleship will drop a Caldari Navy Vice Admiral Insignia I; bookmark the site and return after turning in the Mission
