Part 1 of 3


Faction: None
Mission type: Encounter
Space type: Deadspace
Damage dealt: None
Recommended damage dealing: N/A
Recommended ships: Any BC or BS

Warp In


There are 5 Pods when you warp in, one of them is not damaged (also has a different name/type on the overview). Approaching this undamaged pod will pop up a message and spawn a container. Loot the passenger Oura Madusaari; this passenger is needed to unlock the acceleration gate and is removed from your cargohold in the process. Warping out of Pocket 1 before the mission objective is obtained means that you have to fail the mission!

The other pods drop more Stranded Pilots.

Pocket 1


Initially there are 4 Debris Silos, all 4 must be destroyed (a popup message appears after destroying each of them). Their destruction causes the wreck of the "Paryi" to appear for a moment followed by a container from which the mission objective (Dr. Fajah Ateshi) must be looted.

The Debris Silos drop T1 ammo.

Note: Fitting a microwarpdrive (or at least afterburner) is highly recommended.


Part 2 of 3


Faction: None
Mission type: Encounter
Space type: Deadspace
Damage dealt: EM
Recommended damage dealing: None needed
Recommended ships: Any BC or BS

Warp to the Anomaly, use the (now unlocked) acceleration gate.
When approaching the Anomaly it will spawn an Amarr Cruise missle battery. There is no need to destroy the sentry as, when you approach the anomaly, a message appears and it ceases firing. Place the "Neurowave Pattern Scanner" in the Anomaly to flag the mission complete.
Silos drop Ammo.

Note: Fitting a microwarpdrive (or at least afterburner) is highly recommended.


Part 3 of 3


Faction: Rogue drones
Mission type: Encounter
Space type: Deadspace
Damage dealt: All kinds ( Standard Rogue Drone: More Exp/Kin less EM/Therm )
Reccomended damage dealing: EM
Recommended ships: Raven, BS with omni tank.

Drones will aggro other groups, but not spawn groups.
Attacking any ship in Pocket 2 will aggro the entire pocket; however, spawned reinforcements remain passive unless attacked.
Attacking a passive reinforcement will also aggro all other passive ships.

Pocket 1

As you warp in there are 4 groups of Rogue Drones.

Group 1
( Auto-Aggro) 2x BS ( Patriach Alvus, Alvus Creator, Alvus Ruler )

Group 2
3x Cruiser ( Devastator Alvum, Viral Infector Alvum )
2x BC ( Crippler Alvatis )

Group 3
4x Frigate ( Barracuda Alvi, Devilfish Alvi )
2x Cruiser ( Devastator Alvum, Viral Infector Alvum )

Last kill in each group triggers a respawn:

Group 1 Spawn:
3x BS ( Patriarch Alvus, Spearhead Alvus, Swarm Preserver )

Group 2 Spawn:
3x Destroyer( Predator Alvior, Shredder Alvior )
3x BC ( Crippler Alvatis, Defeater Alvatis )

Group 3 Spawn:
2x Frigate ( Devilfish Alvi )
2x BS ( Alvus Controller, Spearhead Alvus )

The gate is not locked, so the NPCs in this pocket do not have to be destroyed.

Pocket 2

4x Frigate
1x BC

Attacking the inital group causes a (possibly delayed)

Spawn
2x Frigate ( Decimator Alvi, Render Alvi )
3x Cruiser ( Disintegrator Alvum, Violator Alvum )
1x BC ( Defeater Alvatis)
4x BS ( Swarm Preserver, Domination Alvus, Supreme Alvus Preserver, Spearhead Alvus )

The Anomaly is 30-50 km away from the warp-in. Dropping Fajah Ateshi inside the "Rogue Drone" ship next to it completes the mission and leads to the destruction of the (Orca-Class) "Anomaly" a few seconds later.

Loot: Over 1000 m³ of drone alloys, so at least on par with Attack of the Drones.

Did this in a Tengu. It's basically a rogue drone bonfire with a LOT of T2 salvage. Enjoy!

Beware: CCP's already started nerfing this mission. Expect it to be regular deadspace rogue drones next time it's back.

Activated gate, hit stop ship.

Big mistake. Dont do this mistake on first mission. Consumes the guy and u cant get him again.
-- NicSouthern (2011-01-20 21:00:56)
Can definitely confirm the CCP nerf. No more T2 salvage regular deadspace rogue drones. Be careful of drone aggro with spawns.

1/3: This mission gives you a lot of LP and a good reward for blowing up a silo. The correct silo the one in the back on the left side.

3/3: The gate to the second pocket only appears after you get a message from Fajah; this message seemed to be triggered by killing a certain ship.
I didn't get the spawn in pocket 2 despite killing the initial group.

On all missions: the anomaly deals some damage which does not appear in the combat log.

When you add the dude to the anomaly, the anomaly collapse into something that drains your cap pretty hard. And you most likely need to fly out of it first to warp, since it keeps bumping you.

Is this an Amarr-only mission?
-- ForteEXE (2011-02-09 11:42:05)
You can also drop Fajah in the Orca it will power up and jump out completing the mission
-- TraSpace (2011-02-11 02:28:22)
@ ForteEVe, I got it in Caldari Space
-- ShadowUser (2011-02-11 23:29:10)
3/3, Pocket 1
Unlocked accel gate by destroying the two BCs in group two.
[Ammatar Space.]
-- AlzarGobthrottle (2011-02-17 20:28:47)
Yeah I just got it in Caldari space too. I think the text changes if you get it in Caldari space, I could've sworn the Amarr version mentioned a Caldari salvage ship instead of the Caldari version saying "one of our salvage crews".
