"Penumbra" is the Caldari epic arc and as all epic arcs it follows a story that covers some inner dealings of its faction. You are initially hired by an agent of Nugoeihuvi, one of the seven megacorps that run the Caldari State. During the arc you will witness and participate in the power struggle between these megacorps and have the option to defect to the Hyasyoda megacorp.
"In the heartland of State space, inter-corporate tensions come to the fore as Nugoeihuvi makes a move for some quick ISK, and you must choose who to trust and who to betray. The moral ambiguity continues through to the end, as the player begins to unravel an even darker side to corporate self-interest and the ongoing conflict in Black Rise."
Requirements
To start the Epic Arc you must have a standing of 5.0 or higher with Expert Distribution or the Caldari Faction.
These missions have great rewards, but do require some advanced skills and ships to complete safely. Recommended:
- You can easily solo Level 4 missions
- You have a proper PvE fitted battleship or equally capable ship such as a strategic or heavy assault cruiser
- You have the Hacking skill at Level 3 or greater (required to complete "The Breakout")
Branches
During this Epic Mission Arc several choices are presented to you - this guide lists all missions, but a few descriptions are still missing, please add them if you run these missions. The mission numbers are the same as on EVE Survival.
Other Sources
This guide provides tips and suggestions that are not 'the' way to do the mission, but merely one possible way. The mission rewards listed depend on skills and possibly standings so results may vary a bit.
For a detailed description of all branching options and mission briefings have a look at Caldari Epic Arc guide by Jowen Datloran (pdf).
A very useful reference to specific missions is EVE Survival: Penumbra.
The old EVElopedia (fuzzwork) also has a detailed description.
Staring the Arc
Penumbra is started by speaking with Aursa Kunivuri, at the Nugoeihuvi Information Center in Josameto ("Beacons" and "Agents in Space" must be visible on the overview).
Walkthough
The missions in this epic arc are generally short. All the combat missions can be blized by killing only the objective. There are also several hauling missions that are fast to complete with frigate and missions that only require you to talk to an agent. There are also multiple branching missions so you won't need to complete all the missions listed here.
- Mission 1 - The Intermediary
- Mission 2 - Trust And Discretion
- Mission 3 - Their Loss, Our Profit
- Mission 4 - The Paths That Are Hidden (Story Arc Branch)
- Mission 4.1 - An Honorable Betrayal (Hyasyoda path)
- Mission 4.2 – Proof of Intent (Hyasyoda path)
- Mission 4.3 – Return to Isha (Hyasyoda path)
- Mission 4.4 – Re-examining Options (Hyasyoda path, Story Arc Branch)
- Mission 5A - Two Steps Into Hell
- Mission 5B - Playing It Safer
- Mission 6 - Almost Unmasked (Hyasyoda path)
- Mission 7 - Some Light Theatrics (Hyasyoda path)
- Mission 8 - Untouchable (Hyasyoda path)
- Mission 6 - Too Close for Comfort (Nugoeihuvi path, Story Arc Branch)
- Mission 7A - The Crimson Decoy (Nugoeihuvi path)
- Mission 7B - Pre-Emptive Opportunities (Nugoeihuvi path)
- Mission 9 - A General's Best Friend
- Mission 10 - Meet Sinas
- Mission 11 - Right Tool for the Job
- Mission 12 - The Breakout
- Mission 13 - Whisper of a Conspiracy
- Mission 14 - Practical Solutions
- Mission 15 - Forewarning
- Mission 16 - The Knowledge to Act (Hyasyoda path, Story Arc Branch)
- Mission 17 - Slipping Away - (Hyasyoda path)
- Mission 18 - Across the Line - (Hyasyoda path)
- Mission 16 - A Difference of Opinion (Nugoehuvi path, Story Arc Branch)
- Mission 17 - Learning by Doing - (Nugoehuvi path)
- Mission 18 - The Price of Silence - (Nugoehuvi path)
- Mission 17 - Home In Peace - (Caldari State path)
Rewards
The final reward depends on choices you nake in mission "Paths That Are Hidden" in first chapter and in the first mission of last chapter.
Selecting "An Honorable Betrayal" in "Paths that are Hidden" and then selecting "Slipping Away" in "The Knowledge to Act" leads to Hyasyoda rewarding you with Standup Hyasyoda Research Lab Blueprint (1 run, 8% ME, 8% TE) and around Caldari State faction standing increase (12.5 at Social V). The Standup Hyasyoda Research Lab is faction module for Upwell structures. Like the normal research lab the Hyasyoda variant allows blueprint research but uses less fuel and powergrid. The module can be used in low security space only.
Selecting any other option in "Paths that are Hidden" and "Learning by Doing" in "A Difference of Opinion" will reward you with 20x Nugoehuvi Synth Blue Pill Boosters and Caldari State faction standing increase. Nugoehuvi Synth Blue Pill Boosters increases shield boosting by 5% with no drawbacks for 33 minutes.
Selecting "Home in Peace" in either "A Difference of Opinion" or in "The Knowledge to Act" will only reward you with 25 million isk and Caldari State faction standing.
