"The Brutor tribe stands in to support an historical research effort being undertaken by the Republic University, a move bolstered by the presence of a powerful and capable capsuleer - that is, you. Repeatedly denied access to an important historical artifact, the academics are pitted in a constant struggle to uncover ancient truths, and it will be your mission to help them. The histories of conquered civilizations are seldom told in full by the victors, and many organizations will do their best to keep things that way."

Requirements

To start the Minmatar Epic Arc you must have standings of 5.0 or higher with the Brutor Tribe corporation or the Minmatar Republic faction. In addition to being comfortable with level 4 missions, you should have the Hacking and Archaeology skills trained (Hacking III and Archaeology I are sufficient).

Rewards

At the end of this Epic Mission Arc you will decide whether to cooperate with a Gallente historian or a secretive Minmatar military organization, the Defiants. The Defiants will award you

  • +5% Minmatar Republic faction standing (6.25% at Social V)
  • 10 x RSS Core Scanner Probes

The historian will award you

  • +10% Minmatar Republic faction standing (12.5% at Social V)

After you complete the arc, be sure to check that you have received the faction standing increase, because there have been many cases of people not receiving the increase. If your standing has not changed, file a petition. It may help to include a link to CCP Dropbear's forum post.

Enemies

You will face mostly Angel Cartel and Ammatar Mandate ships.

Reward: 5,000,000 + 1,500,000 (Bonus)

Summary: Assassinate one ship. The guards at the site will not attack you.

Surfacing

Minmatar epic 09.jpg
Type: Encounter (Mercenaries - ?)

Destination: Jark

Reward: 7,000,000 + 1,680,000 (Bonus)

Summary: A combat mission against mercenaries. The first wave of this mission spawns almost on top of you and does heavy damage and can warp scramble, so you might want to trigger it in a shuttle and then warp back in at range in your combat ship.

Who Art in Heaven

Minmatar epic 10.jpg
Type: Encounter (Angel Cartel)

Destination: Urnhard

Reward: 5,000,000 + 1,400,000 (Bonus)

Playing All Their Cards

Minmatar epic 11.jpg
Type: Encounter (Angel Cartel)

Destination: Urnhard

Reward: 7,000,000 + 1,620,000 (Bonus)

Summary: You need to hack a container and take an item. Approach the container and when you get close an Angel force will appear 100k off. You can destroy them and then hack the container, or you have plenty of time to hack the container and warp off before they reach you.

I have Hacking III, and on two separate days I attempted to loot the item using a T1 cruiser with four Codebreaker I modules, but was unable to do so before being destroyed. I suggest not trying to blitz this mission unless you have a friend to kite for you. --Jeb hataska 18:48, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
