"Previous explorers have commented that one of the gates requires a passkey. Alternatively, it can be bypassed by convincing the commander to unlock it."
The Serpentis Vigil is a deadspace site that can be found through exploration, in any region that contains the Serpentis NPC pirate, such as the Gallente Federation.
Maximum Ship Size: Battlecruiser or Command Ship
This Deadspace pocket is divided up into two parts.
Room 1
Small area with battle cruiser and elite frigate spawns, the frigates use ewar against you.
Please note: You will either need to kill the drug lord, or you will need a Serpentis gold tag to advance to the second pocket. Though how to trigger the spawning of the drug lord is still a mystery. He sometimes spawns after you kill the first group of rats, and sometimes he doesn't.
Room 2
This Pocket has 3 sentries and a large amount of battlecruiser spawns. After one of the sentry guns are destroyed a Shadow Serpentis spawn occurs.
Part 1
"Going through the items found in the Serpentis outpost, you notice some unused boosters still in their original packs complete with documentation and bear the seal of the Serpentis Corporation. The documentation notes further that these boosters as "Field Test" material and not for common consumption and at the bottom there is ordering info, stating item number and the makers electronic address. Feeling it is worth a shot, you set your communication instruments to emulate those of the Serpentis facility you just laid to waste, feed in the booster factory addy and hit send. And lo and behold, you get an instant reply, a sleepy sounding female voice says "SC medical research 504, good day. How may I help you? Oh! It is Vigil 15? I have a message for you from the supply office, they say you are late. Get to G5, pick up the materials and get here as soon as possible" She adds information on the location and tells you to talk to Nadir, also at G5 if there is anything. And with that she is off the air. "
The single pocket contains:
- 6 cruisers (including 1 Shadow Serpentis cruiser)
- 5 elite frigates
An escalation message may be triggered when the last elite frigate pops.
Part 2
"Suddenly your radio crackles and it is the lady from the Serpentis medical station again "SCmr504 to Vigil 15, divert to a new location, we have news of pirate activity at G5, confirm please!" You reply with the identification from the Serpentis Vigil station and that seems to be sufficient for her, she adds that you should stay off the air for security reasons and that she will contact you soon again with further instructions. "
Spawn 1
- 4 frigates
- 7 cruisers (including 1 Shadow Serpentis cruiser)
- 3 battleships
An escalation message may be triggered when the last cruiser pops.
Killing all rats triggers the next spawn.
Spawn 2
Part 3
"Again your radio comes alive with the voice of this femme serpentia "This is an important security announcement, all ships in G5, G6, G8 and G9: evacuate immediately to a new location and wait for security forces to escort you back to base." It seems like your little enterprise has made the local division of the Serpentis organization a bit confused, perhaps they are not used to be the hunted. This message was a bit troubling though... you can expect two whole gas mining teams and a security team of an undisclosed size. You need to be more careful here... "
The single pocket contains:
- A lot of cruisers (70+ of them) divided in 4 groups 120, 130, 140 and 200 km out, respectively
Part 4
"You follow the coming and going of the Serpentis who are seemingly unaware there is an enemy amongst them. When they start warping out again, you position your scanners, let your instruments run a tracking routine, sit back and hope for the best. And yes, you do indeed get a feedback indicating a location not too far away as their destination. If they have stuck their plans, this should be the site of the Serpentis medical research facility! "
