"The Blood Raider Covenant, although not traditionally associated with drug running, maintains deep ties with the psychotropics trade. Unfortunate test subjects, harvested from the Covenant's pirate activities, are subjected to a variety of tests using these drugs. The exact purpose of these tests is still unknown. Any Covenant psychotropic depots found should be eliminated.

"Not just any cultist can become one of the Blood Raiders' elite Exsanguinators. There has to be something of extraordinary value somewhere in that wreck."
Hint: The last room is tough. Make sure you have a decent tank and get rid of the stasis towers and the cruisers as fast as possible. If you fail to do so, the damage will be overwhelming. Warping out and back again will not work, because all enemy ships will wait at the warp-in of the third room and apply their dps instantly.
