David and Goliath
Escalation from Sansha Outpost and Sansha Military Complex.
Part 1
Going through the logs from one of the command ships you blasted, you come across a recent memo containing a draft for a plan where forces from this Military Complex and another similar to this one were to gang up and raid a space trucker station somewhere in the region. Where this space trucker station is, is not included in the logs, but the location of the rally point is there. It is supposed to be by a small asteroid belt, not too far away.
- 2x frigates
- 4x battlecruisers
- 4x battleships
- 1x True Sansha battleship - all closerange
When the faction spawn is killed the escalation continues.
Part 2
From the wreckage of this ship, you get info on where it is from, it is another Sansha station. Well, more an outpost than a station perhaps, but it is a pure military outfit, not a regular colony.
- 1st spawn:
- 4x frigates
- 4x battleship
- 2nd spawn (upon shooting the Sansha Outpost):
- 4x web/ scram frigates
- 6x battleship
- 8x cruise missile batteries
- 1x True Sansha battleship
When the faction spawn is killed the escalation continues.
Part 3
Again you let your scanners comb the remains of the station and the ships, looking for clues on this alleged raid, and before long you are holding a log listing the second rally spot and as far as you can see, the raiding parties have already departed from here and two other stations and are supposed to convene within the hour. If one of the raiding parties was supposed to come from the Sansha station you destroyed originally, you have already managed to diminish their forces somewhat.
- 2x web/ scram frigates
- 2x cruisers
- 4x elite cruisers
- 4x battleships
- 1x True Sansha battleship
When the faction spawn is killed the escalation continues.
Part 4
A fixed guidance beacon sitting here all alone.. you examine the thing and discover its guidance system points to a place not too far away. Perhaps that is the space trucker station? In any case, that is the only clue you have to follow, if the pirates have ever been here, they have gone already.
A peaceful station, where transport ships get refitted and refueled. Almost too peaceful...
Space Trucker Convoy: To all nearby ships. I think we might have trouble. Lets go back through the gate before something happens! Sansha Raiders have appeared! Sansha Raider: Clear out the guards first More Sansha have appeared. Sansha Raider: I will loot these guys, you get the hangars! A Sansha Relay Scout has warped in from a nearby area. Naberius Marquis: Let's see what we have here. A pitiful little space trucker encampment protected by a few inbred mercenaries. Looks like we'll have some fun tonight, minions. The True Sansha leader, Naberius Marquis, has arrived.
