Mission Briefing

With the destruction of the mercenary camp, Lord Manik is denying he ever had any contact with them. I have a copy of your ship‟s logs from their meeting, but it may prove difficult to pin him with any conspiracy charges. Good thing I‟ve got a new lead. Remember Lord Darabi, Miyan‟s rival and the new target of Jariza‟s wooing? His daughter, Mina, has been one of my contacts. Mina says she has key information, but she will only tell me in person. This is where the fun part comes in. Daddy Darabi has kept Mina under tight surveillance because of a scandal that happened a few years ago. Thus, we have to stage a kidnapping. This is going to get bloody, but I trust Mina when she says her information is worth it. Fly to the Darabi estate where Mina is being kept and “kidnap” Mina Darabi. Any guards are expendable.

Objective

Bring 1 Mina Darabi (1.0 m3) to agent.

She will not show up until the last wave of Battleships are destroyed. She will send you a message that she ejected into a cargo container, this is near the Residential Habitation module.

Details

The same agent offers this mission as the previous mission. This is a combat mission consisting of multiple waves of enemies. The last ship killed in the final wave triggers completion. There is also a container that needs to be looted.

WARNING:
The five veteran battleships deal a cumulative total of around 1100-1200 dps.
You will face heavy NOS (20 to 25km) and tracking disruption from the veteran cruisers.
Not closing the Mission after Mina Darabi has been collected and waiting for a reasonable time period ( time to salvage ) will cause the following popup warning - "I know salvaging is fun, but there are several hostile ships inbound. I suggest we retreat now. Mina Darabi is too valuable an informant to lose." - After approx 15 seconds, 8 Elite Veteran Frigates, 8 Elite Veteran Cruisers, & 6 or 7 Veteran Battleships Spawn. DPS is much greater than the first five. Would suggest logistics support if you intend to run this spawn.
