Details

Mission briefing
Dr. Ateshi has provided proof that The Anomaly is active and dangerous. The experimental warp drive successfully opened a wormhole, but it was unstable and the resulting radiation fried the crew's equipment, and their brains. They've been trapped in the darkest parts of space for two decades, slowly succumbing to the sickness - there's nothing human left about them. Now that they're back in our space, the radiation is a risk not just to us but everything for hundreds of kilometers around.

My superiors have determined that it's not worth the risk of retrieving the warp drive; you need to destroy the ship entirely before the damage spreads. Fortunately, we know where they went: They jumped into the middle of a rogue drone hive. Dr. Ateshi thinks they're trying to feed off the rogue drones' power to recharge. If you can get her to one of the surrounding ships, she can jam their equipment and make them vulnerable.

Blitz: Destroy the two BCs in group 2 to "spawn" the acceleration gate. The gate is not locked, but warp scrambling frigates will prevent you from using it. Use an afterburner to make your way to the rogue drone ship and drop Fajah Ateshi into the can which completes the mission, no drones have to be killed.

Pocket 1

Group 1 will auto-aggro on warp-in. Attacking any other group will aggro all other ships present. Destroying the last ship in each group will spawn a wave of reinforcements.

The acceleration gate to the next pocket will become functional once the two batttlecruisers (Striker Alvatis) in Group 2 are destroyed. Note that the acceleration gate cannot be used while warp-scrambled.

Pocket 2

The Anomaly (an OREOrca) is 50 km away from the warp-in on a stable (but non-functional) wormhole, while the Rogue Drone ship is few kilometers further away. There are two options for completing this mission, determined by where the player places Dr. Fajah Ateshi:

  • Placing Dr. Ateshi inside the Rogue Drone ship completes the mission and leads to the destruction of The Anomaly a few seconds later.
  • Placing Dr. Ateshi inside The Anomaly will cause the ship to jump away, with Dr. Ateshi attempting to save the ship's crew.

Reinforcements will spawn upon attacking any frigate that is not capable of webbing/scrambling. However, reinforcements will not spawn if the frigate is destroyed in a single hit.
