Mission briefing

I've been begging my handlers to let me get a hold of you. Just look at you, a genuine capsuleer . We have a lot of pretenders around here. They'll do a few things for us here and there and then they'll blow some of our boys out of the sky for the bounties on their heads. I have my doubts, but we'll see. I was sent to the Venal region a bit ago. The Navy and other State corps are moving in and trying to clean us honest rogues out, which is why we need to teach them fear. Ytiri has a base they've built up in Q-7SUI. We'll be taking it, but that's not where you fit in. It's not enough to simply take the base: We need to curtail their ability to operate in this region. We need to destroy all of the ships assigned to this base, let them know it's not worth the wasted time and resources in trying to reclaim their property or their territory. We're going to take that station over in the name of Gurista, and I have just the men to do it. I'll hand over a platoon of soldiers, trained professionals within our ranks. They're known as the Dread Guristas, and this is their strike force. Take them to the base, and let them do their magic. Wait for the strike force to take control while you eliminate any enemies in the sky. Don't worry: They know what they're doing. But so do you, I guess. Well, I'll give you the reins on this one. I'll admit I had doubts about you. You think you can do anything you want to anyone without reason or plan. I think you might be different. Cilis seems to think so. But then again, Cilis was an egger, too. Anyhow, smash up job. I couldn't be more pleased. I like it when a target is surprised to see death waiting for him. It's one of the most beautiful things you can do as a pirate. The egger who held me taught me that. Her crew chief helped me get away, but the container I was in busted on impact. In the madness, I found myself re-forged. Even though I will kill the person who did this to me, I have to thank them as well for making me what I am. The recordings you've received in the field are from me. Anyhow, what you did will certainly help, but there's a lot of work to be done, and I can promise you that I'll pay well. You had better have the stomach for it.

This mission can be complete remotely. You are granted the Dread Gurista Strike Force when accepting this mission (in your inventory). Put it in your cargo before undocking. The mission site consists of one gated deadspace room.

Room 1

Initial defenders

		WD	EWAR	L
	2 x Sentry Ytiri Light Missile Battery

• Destroy the Ytiri Security Bunker to gain access to the Ytiri Storage Warehouse.
• Drop the Dread Guristas Strike Force into the warehouse.
• Dropping off the strike force will create an instance of repeating reinforcement wave spawns.
• Destroying all ships in a group will make a new instance spawn. This goes on for 3 minutes at which all remaining hostile ships will explode and the mission marked as complete.
• The ships do no need to be destroyed. Circling in the pocket for three minutes completes the mission.
• Destroying Ytiri Security Bunker causes -0.24 standing loss to the Caldari State.

Repeating wave

		WD	EWAR	L
	2-3 x Frigate Ytiri Frigate

You can both complete this mission and accept the next mission remotely while still in space.
