== Escalation 1 ==

On Warp In you hit an Newly Constructed Gate with

:1 Battleship
:3 Frigates
:2 Loyal Frigates
:6 Cruisers
:3 Loyal Cruiser
:1 True Sansha Battleship (if you're lucky)

Upon warping through the gate or destruction of the Shadow Serpentis BS, you might get the next escalation.

== Escalation 2 ==

You warp in next to a massive rock where there are a collection of Frigates, Cruisers and BattleCruisers with the potential of getting a Shadow Serpentis Battleship Rat.

:3 Battleships
:2 Frigates
:4 Loyal Frigates
:2 Cruisers
:4 Loyal Cruiser
:1 True Sansha Battleship

Upon killing the Shadow Serpentis Rat you should recieve the next escalation.


== Escalation 3 ==

Initial warp-in puts you about 30km from the collection of Frigate, Cruisers, BattleCruisers and a few Battleships, one of which may be a Shadow Serpentis Rat.

Upon killing the last cruiser you might receive the last and final escalation.

== Escalation 4 (Final) ==

The "Warp To Location" from your journal will warp you to an Accelaration Gate.  Once you warp in through the first gate you warp in around 30km from another gate with several rats in the first room.  You will have 1 Battleship and a few frigates and cruisers to kill before you can enter the next room.  The second room will have 4 Battleships and one of them will be a Shadow Grand Admiral, however this is not a Shadow Serpentis rat but an Overseer Rat.  When you kill this you will have completed the plex and in the wreck you will hopefully have some Core A-Type Loot.  The rest of the room contains several Frigates, Cruisers and BattleCruisers which you do not need to kill but helps in getting that little bit more isk.

== Difficulty rating ==

* I used a Passive Shield Tanked Ishtar with a Basilisk and a DPS Drake to clear the plexes quickly.

* Solo'd every stage in active tanked nighthawk.

* Initial [[Serpentis|Serpentis]] Fortress plex done easily with full passive tanked Drake and dps Harbinger, both full T2 fitted.

*Solo'd every stage in a passive drake.

*Solo'd every stage in a active-tanked Ishkur. Hard, but possible if you have the time.

*Solo'd every stage in an omni-tank tengu. Final escalation has very high DPS.
