"Syndication" is the Gallente Epic Arc. To begin requires 6.8 standing with either Impetus Corporation or the Gallente faction, but once begun, standing is not checked again for the duration of the arc. It is somewhat more difficult than L4 missions, but not impossible to do in a tech 1 battleship such as a Maelstrom. Strongly recommend at least the equivalent of a Gist-C shield booster for tanking purposes, almost all stages involve what would be considered heavy DPS in a level 4 mission.

'''Syndication''' is the [[Gallente Federation]] Epic Arc which takes place in Gallente High Security Regions.
  
Also note that once any epic arc is completed, you can repeat it 3 months later. If you 'Quit Mission' at any step before completing the arc, however - which heavily damages your standing with whichever corporation you're currently working for in the arc, but only trivially impacts your Gallente main faction - you can restart the arc from Step 2 immediately.

[[Category:Epic Arcs]]
 
 
Agent:  Gian Parele, found at "Impetus Tolle Studio" beacon in Tolle
 
 
 
Mission Location:  Tolle
 
 
 
Enemy:  Rogue Drones. 
 
 
 
Recommendations:  EMP damage.
 
 
 
Pocket 1:  Rogue drones spawn and auto-aggro as you approach within 20km of acceleration gate.  No unusual drone aggro.  Single group:  6x frigates/destroyers, 6x cruisers/battlecruisers, 2x battleships
 
 
 
Pocket 2:  All rogue drones present and auto-aggro upon arrival after activating pocket 1 gate.  No unusual drone aggro.  Single group:  5x frigates/destroyers, 6x cruisers/battlecruisers, 7x battleships
 
 
 
Loot:  About 1000m3 of refinables, and typically lousy (for drones) salvage.  Two drone structures drop no loot.
 
 
 
 
 
== Step 3:  Priority One ==
 
 
 
Agent:  Gian Parele, found at "Impetus Tolle Studio" beacon in Tolle
 
 
 
Mission Location:  Carirgnottin (one jump from Tolle)
 
 
 
Enemy:  Minmatar (no standing loss).
 
 
 
Recommendations:  Thermal damage. Fit afterburner and salvager if possible, there's a fair amount of ground to cover and the salvager is required for mission completion in pocket 3.
 
 
 
Pocket 1:  No enemies. Proceed through acceleration gate 46km away.
 
 
 
Pocket 2:  Arrive 42km from next gate. Single spawn appears during approach, all at a range of 12-20km. 6x frigates/cruisers, 4x cruisers/battlecruisers, 3x battleships. Multiple frigates target paint your ship, take them out quickly as they significantly increase incoming DPS.
 
 
 
Pocket 3:  2x frigates/destroyers, 5x cruiser/battlecruisers, 3 battleships at a distance of 23km-37km from arrival point.  No aggro.  Shuttle wreck 49km away needs to be salvaged for mission completion after all enemies are dead.  Not sure if frigates have any special attacks, I killed them first.  DPS in this pocket is fairly heavy, I had to warp out once in an omni-tanked Machariel with a Gist-X large shield booster. The cruisers were surprisingly tough to damage, tanked about as well as the battleships, so should probably kill the BS first.
 
 
 
Loot:  Not much, about 350m3, but lots of Republic Fleet insignias:  Commander II, High Captain I, Private III and Midshipman II and III.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== Step 4:  The Averon Exchange ==
 
 
 
Agent:  Gian Parele, found at "Impetus Tolle Studio" beacon in Tolle
 
 
 
Mission Location:  Averon (two jumps from Tolle)
 
 
 
Enemy:  Mercenaries
 
 
 
Single pocket.  6x Pator 6 cruisers send you a message and warp out, followed by 3 waves of spawns.
 
 
 
Spawn 1, all within 5km:  3x Merc Commanders (cruisers), 5x wingmen (four of them webbed me instantly), 5x elite fighter frigates.  They orbit very very close, and due to the extreme webbing, drones are vital here.
 
 
 
Spawn 2, at approx 10km:  Appears when all of Spawn 1 is dead.  4x mercenary lieutenants, 5x mercenary corporals (all medium size).  Spawn 3 does generous DPS, so probably a good idea to not kill the last rat in this spawn until you've regained some cap and tank.
 
 
 
Spawn 3, at approx 25km:  Appears when all of Spawn 2 is dead.  3x mercenary commanders (medium), 5x mercenary overlords (battleships).  The battleships hit hard but go down quickly to thermal damage, so target them first.  Mission completes when the last battleship is dead.
 
 
 
Loot:  About 1200m3, typical merc loot, nothing special.
 
 
 
 
 
== Step 5:  A Different Kind of Director ==
 
 
 
Agent:  Gian Parele, found at "Impetus Tolle Studio" beacon in Tolle
 
 
 
Report to Eron Viette at Stetille II - Impetus Publisher, 8 jumps away.  Note that you'll really only be there for one mission, so you might just want to bring your tractors and salvagers in cargo rather than bring a dedicated salvager.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== Step 6:  Assistance ==
 
 
 
NOTE:  This mission can be either insanely difficult or very very easy, depending on your tactics. See below.
 
 
 
Agent:  Eron Viette, in station Stetille II - Impetus Publisher
 
 
 
Mission Location:  Stetille
 
 
 
Enemy:  Minmatar (no standing loss)
 
 
 
This mission requires you to kill 3 waves, but the second two waves are trivial, just one battleship in the second wave and two BS in the third wave.  The first wave is where all the action is.  When you warp to the location, you'll need to approach Audalle Roire.  When you get close, the first wave will spawn fairly close, within 20km, and close quickly.  The wave is very large, and includes 12 battleships.  The DPS you will receive at this point is insane.  Don't even think about it - JUST INITIATE WARP OUT IMMEDIATELY.  Then warp back at 100km distance and start moving away immediately, sniping from a long range - for your projectile users, use arty, even if you're in a Machariel.  At greater than 50km, the damage is fairly easily tanked, but once they come within 20km, DPS will start climbing sharply again, warp out again and come back at 0km - the wave should now be a good 100km from the starting point, and you can repeat the process.  Do it this way, and it'll be easy.  Try to handle the 12 BS's at close range, and, well, I hope your ship was insured.
