Escalation - Medical Twilight

Warning: Heavy tracking disruption and neuting through the escalation. Drone or missile ship would be adviced

"The slaves you liberated from this Blood facility report that this was a holding place where slaves were gathered, before being sent off to a blood replenishing "medical" station. You have heard about those places; where the Blood members go to get their blood exchanged with the blood of a slave who has been put on a special "blood cleansing" diet for a period of time. Needless to say, this leaves the poor slave empty of the vital fluid in question. Understandably your new found slaves are quite thrilled with these recent turn of events. None of them knows where this so called "medical" station is, but a couple can tell you that they were in another holding station like this one, before they came here and coincidentally it is not all that far away..."

"This place seems to be deserted and recently so, as all systems are up and running. Your scanners can even pick up signals from small houshold appliances, indicating that somone should actually be home.

"As you float among the debris of the pirate ships you notice several small canisters of ectoplasm, all marked with a place of origin, presumably the Blood's so called 'medical' facility.

You warp into a large group of 10 to 12 destroyers, and 5-8 cruisers and battle cruisers. some of the destroyers have a chance to spawn waves of 3-5 destroyers and 2-4 cruisers. Killing Blood Shades may trigger spawns of 5-10 elite frigates, and 3-5 cruisers and 4-8 battle cruisers.

{{note|The frigates, specifically the "Elder Corpii Worshipper" can warp scramble you. You should kill it first. There is also heavy neuting immediately upon warp in. }

One of the waves will contain a Blood Factory Overseer battleship. The Blood Factory Overseer battleship can come with an escort of 2-3 frigates that will Warp Scramble you!

Please note: The Elder Corpum Priest NPCs do heavy neuting at a ranges as high as 40 km. It is recommended those are taken out as soon as possible, if you are using any capacitor-intensive modules

Once you kill the Blood Factory Overseer, the escalation finishes with the following message:

"You are pretty sure that at some time in history, there would have been places in the galaxy where destroying an evil thing like this would have prompted some noble and decent ruler to award you with a medal or even a prize."
