The Scions of the Superior Gene are a minor extremist cult. They believe that the Jovians are gods, and their technology is sacred – too pure to be used by the lowly empires. They have a small fleet of well-armed ships used exclusively to "purify" those who they feel have offended the Jovians.
 
 
Tolmak has managed to convert a number of people to his religious message. Some of them are so fanatical they're willing to fight for him. These zealots form a motley fleet of whatever small ships they have been able to buy with donations from their planetside brethren.

The Prophet of the Seventh Sphere

Religious freaks like to spread all sorts of apocalyptic messages, and in recent times there are few who have captured the imagination of conspiracy theorists in the way that Tolmak has. The so-called “Prophet of the Seventh Sphere,” Tolmak is an enigmatic and elusive character. He has never shown himself publicly for fear of reprisal, and relies instead of proxies to spread his word. Others say his real strength comes from the media outlets that cover these preachers. Outlets that, for their own part, are mostly concerned with the profit to be made from the inevitable controversy his message brings.

Among other things, Tolmak's elaborate revelations paint a universe governed by demonic forces that secretly control the heads of all the empires. He reserves special bile for the capsuleer class, teaching that their clones are not actually the same person reborn, but are instead, demonic simulacra.

Blitz:
Activate the first gate before the NPCs spawn, grab the preacher from the container, and warp out.

Message from the Preacher
Greetings, pilot. Have you come to listen, or with violence in mind?
Wave 1

Cruiser 4 x Friendly Cruiser Tolmak's Zealots
Message from the Preacher
Be warned, the Scions of the Superior Gene are incoming. They're a militant splinter group that labled us heretics and will wipe out me, you, and every colonist here. If you help stop them, I'll come willingly.

The pocket starts off empty. After a few seconds, 8 enemy cruisers spawn, but two of them are scripted to blow up when the friendly cruisers arrive. The friendly cruisers simply stay in the pocket and do not engage the enemies. It has been reported that one might be able to activate the acceleration gate before the NPCs spawn, thus circumventing the first pocket entirely.


Wave 2

Cruiser 5 x Cruiser Scions of the Superior Gene
Tolmak's Zealots
You must save the preacher! The gate has been unlocked; go while we cover you, noble capsuleer!

After disposing of the last enemy in the initial wave, five additional enemy cruisers spawn. The gate will be unlocked at this point, and thus engaging the second wave is optional.


Pocket 2

Message from the Scions
Fool! Tolmak's gnats won't stop us!
The objective is in the Preacher's Quarters, which you can loot without engaging the enemies.
