Mission briefing
In the last few weeks, we've become aware of an FTL transmitter in the area which has been broadcasting anti-corporate propaganda into the State. Usually, the Federation isn't quite this bold in its slander of our state, so a number of corporate intelligence offices looked into the matter and found to our surprise that this transmitter is actually being run by someone we are all too familiar with: Melarius Torvil and his so-called “Brothers of Freedom.”

Obviously, we cannot allow this situation to continue. Torvil's persistent ability to elude capture by Caldari authorities is frustrating enough, but we cannot simply stand by while he rubs it in our faces. Frankly, the fact that the Republic is allowing this kind of dangerous nonsense makes me thankful our militia capsuleers are giving them a hard time.

Anyway, we would like you to fly to the transmitter in Hageken: Destroy it and any Minmatar vessels in the area. If the Republic Navy sends any ships to assist, feel free to eliminate them as well, but it isn't necessary; I don't think they'll be willing to stick their necks out over what is a rather diplomatically shady activity anyway.

What do you say? Can you handle this for me?


The Brothers of Freedom Formerly an extremist labor movement in the State, the Brothers of Freedom led a widespread revolt against corporate security forces on a number of Caldari planets a number of years ago -- some time before Tibus Heth's vastly more successful revolt of a similar nature -- after 65,000 protesters were killed by Caldari paramilitary forces while trying to force their way onto a CEP station in the New Caldari system. After months of dogged pursuit by Caldari authorities, the riots were put down and most of the leaders were killed or arrested.

Some of the leadership, including the ringleader Melarius Torvil, did manage to escape the final Caldari Navy operation that crushed the Brothers' movement. Torvil and a small group of associates fled to the Minmatar Republic and applied for asylum from Caldari persecution, which was granted by then-President Midular's Gallente-friendly government.

Today, though they have been largely eliminated as a major force in the State, the Brothers of Freedom continue to spread anti-corporate propaganda and speak out against the CEP's government in the Gallente Federation and the Minmatar Nation, as well as outlying State settlements and facilities.

  • Blitz: NOT possible (as of Aug YC124). Destroy ALL hostile ships (incl. the industrial) and the FTL Transmitter to have the mission complete. (see discussion page)
  • Note: Standng loss of 0.24 from Minmatar Republic + 0.003 for ship destructions.

As you open fire on the transmitter, you intercept a distress call from the station to the Minmatar Navy calling for help; the message gets an affirmative response. It looks like you don't have much time before they arrive in force.

Loot

This mission drops a tag for each ship killed, corresponding to its class and firepower. The following were obtained from a full sweep:

Republic Fleet Captain Insignia I x2

Republic Fleet Commander Insignia I x2

Republic Fleet High Captain Insignia I x15

Republic Fleet Private Insignia II x4


In addition, various other loot is dropped in the form of meta modules and assorted Minmatar ammo. Salvage is also decent. Total loot value comes up to about 29,300,000 ISK. Most of this value, 27 million of it, comes from the tags, with salvage of 1.3 million, and 1 million of modules.
