Mission briefing

No time for small talk. We have a very serious situation on our hands, and I need the utmost discretion from you. That kid may be a goner if we don't act fast. Unfortunately, we don't know much about this “Pator 6” gang except for a few rumblings here and there. A lot of pirates use this area as a haven. Most of them are small-time criminals, no more than thugs looking for an easy mark. The Serpentis have some hold in this area, though I doubt we're looking at any sort of leech on the underbelly of the booster industry. No, this looks suspicious, and not like Serpentis at all. This sounds personal, or at least desperate. Alright, so it looks like we'll be fishing for information. Since it was some Minmatar thugs that took the senator's kid, I guess we'll pound some Matari heads in first. This region is crawling with those people. I don't know who is a bigger drain on the Federation, the criminals or the Minmatar. Anyway, there's a colony of them in Charmerout. Go in there and start shooting up buildings. Hopefully that'll scare up some leads for us. If not…well, we'll have fewer Matari clogging up the Federation resources. Frankly, I'm fine with that.

Gated deadspace pocket two jumps away in Charmerout. Gather intel from Minmatar thugs. They won't co-operate so you will need to use force to gain the information from them.

Blitz: destroy the furthest Asteroid Micro-Colony Minor Structure, destroy the Defenders, pick up the Shanty Town Gate Clearance from the Cargo Container, take the Gate, again destroy the furthest Asteroid Micro-Colony Minor Structure and kill The Elder.

Tips:

• You only need to destroy the farthest Asteroid Micro-Colony Minor Structure
• Shanty Town Gate Clearance is consumed by the Acceleration Gate, so bookmark Room 1
• The Elder's lowest Shield and Armour resistance is 72% Explosive

Warp-in

Shanty Town
Refugees from an impoverished world, struggling survivors in decrepit structures, the inhabitants of this colony epitomize the harsh realities of life in space. Scraping together a living from wreckage and scavenged ships, the Minmatar in this group appear quiet and subdued. The downtrodden are often the ones who know the most, although they have very little to gain from it.

Agent Conversation at landing
These people know who took Ralie. They're hiding something and won't tell us. Looks like that acceleration gate is locked as well. We'll have to use some persuasion. Smoke those Matari out from their hiding places. One of them will either have the information we need or the means to go through that acceleration gate.

Mercy, Please!
I don't know why you're attacking us. We don't know anything. If you want information, then go to the Underground Circus. That's where the lowlifes are, not here in a simple shanty town like ours.
