"This deadspace complex was once the workfield of a large mining corporation. It is now infested with a strain of rogue drones, working tirelessly to stripmine the once valuable ore that still remains hidden within the depths of the ruins.

DED Threat Assessment: Unsafe (3 of 10)"

All acceleration gates are locked until all drones in the room are destroyed.

Maximum Ship Size : Cruiser

Room 1

"This complex was once the workfield of a wealthy mining corporation. Funding got cut shortly after an architectural mishap, where the acceleration gates that were supposed to carry the massive industrial haulers got infected with a mysterious virus. The gates' power coils were severely drained and are to this day only capable of hurling smaller vessels between complex pockets. The ruins are now reputed to be infested with a strain of rogue drones. "

Random Rogue Drone Frigates:

• 1 Incubus Apis
• 2 Scorpionfly Apis

Room 2

"This section of the complex was once a pocket of very valuable minerals. Most of the ore was mined away decades ago by the resident mining corporation, but the drifting hulks of rock are now kept company by another type of scavangers; rogue drones. "

Random Rogue Drone Frigates:

• 2 Arachula Apis
• 1 Asmodeus Apis
• 3 Beelzebub Apis
• 2 Belphegor Apis
• 1 Decimator Alvi
• 2 Infester Alvi
• 1 Malphas Api
• 4 Mammon Api
• 3 Render Alvi

• 1 Rogue Drone Container, small amount of minerals or a Drone Alloy
• 1 Black Drone Container, 5th Tier Overseer's Personal Effect

Room 3

"This complex pocket once housed a thriving center for miners operating in the deadspace field. The old station ruins that still remain within the sector are evidence enough that some decades back, this area was highly valued by the mining corporation.

Multiple signals and reports of rogue drone activity has been detected around this central area. It appears these abandoned ruins have now become the home of a hostile strain of rogue drones, stopping at nothing to defend their harvesting operation. "

Easily completed in a combat frigate, as the drones in room 2 and 3 are organized into groups and can be attacked separately. The mineral containers have random contents: 1000 Tritanium, 800 Pyerite, 800 Mexallon, 400 Isogen, or even 20 Megacyte. Ignore them if you are low on cargo space.

There is a group of four drones beside the Scratched Cask. These are all you need to kill to open the cask.
