The Big Blue expedition is an escalation of the 'Angel Vigil' combat site found by Probing for exploration sites. This expedition consists of four different open area locations (no acceleration gates) starting in a High Security system with the last location in a Low Security system. The NPC ships encountered range from Frigate class to Battlecruiser class.

Escalation

After destroying the NPC 'Pat Wead' in the 2nd pocket of Angel Vigil combat site:


"Scanning through Pat Wead´s logs reveals that this druglord was surprisingly well connected, long lists of buyers and sellers throughout the neighboring regions would make this document a dream read of any law enforcement agent in the galaxy, if only all the vital parts were not in some completely alien code. No matter how much you let your central computer chew on this stuff, you get no feedback on any names or places, except perhaps one... this seems to be a hasty entry from almost a year back, not in code. At least the coordinates do reflect a true point in space."

Escalation to 2nd location:


"Among the debris of this old factory, you find a homing beacon next to a container bearing the Salvation Angel seal. It looks as if they have been going through the rubble, gathering whatever the attackers have spared. It seems the beacon is malfunctioning and periodically sending out some garbled messages, something that is not so remarkable in itself, but the messages are getting answered... your instruments quickly nail down the location of the responder."

Destroyed Angel Battlestation loot = various munitions and modules.

Escalation - End

After destroying the Angel Transport


"With all this Blue Pill out of circulation, you probably just sent some thousands of BP munches on a cold turkey. Then again, you could perhaps make nice profit selling it to them yourself. Choices...Choices..."

The Angel Transport wreck will always contain a random amount of Blue Pill and has a random chance to include Faction modules.

Warning: Blue Pill is marked as Contraband in many areas. Always check the 'Legality' tab in the item information window before transporting.
