Escalation - The Rewards of Devotion 1

Warping in reveals an acceleration gate protected by 4 cruisers, one of which is a Dark Blood Revenant, as well as three cruisers. Killing the Dark Blood Revenant can cause an escalation.

After warping through the gate, 8 frigates immediately agro, and 5 or more cruisers immediately spawn. This portion of the escalation does not appear to be required.

"The janitor of this tiny pleasure dome is an old sickly man, who seems quite pleased to see his former employers real-estate been blown apart. Among the things he tells you is that he was a slave captured by the Blood Raiders years ago and what saved his life was that his blood was useless to them as he had contracted some nasty VD during his teenage years while he worked as a page at the interregional trade council in Jita. He can also inform you about the location to a small hideaway, similar to this one, where he once served as a janitor, until his old master lost him in a game of craps to the station manager, for whom he has worked ever since."

Warping in to a open area with 15 frigates and 10 Blood point defense batteries as well as a pleasure hub "Conquered station Blood raiders resort"

Shooting at the resort triggers 2 destroyers 3 Cruisers and a dark blood cruiser Shooting the dark blood spawn 3 BCs and 4 more Cruisers

The Resort drops 10 Janitors

"While blasting the station, your instruments picked up transmissions in connection with its security system, which apparently was communicating with some central security station. You have the feeling that sticking around for too long is not a very good idea, as it is pretty certain that a security detail has already been dispatched to take care of whoever is vandalizing the executive pleasure huts in the area i.e. you. But if the security detail is coming your way, it means they are not at their base, so... you quickly hit some buttons and in a few seconds you have location of what presumably is the security station flashing on your navigation panel."

Warping in 4 BCs, 1 dark blood cruiser and 7 blood point defense batteries

"Hastily you scan through what is left of the security station’s logs and databanks. Most have been totally wasted during your attack, but it seems that a list of time schedules and locations you find contain some of the station’s clients, at least are two of the locations identical to the ones the two pleasure casas you previously made a short story of were located at. The list contains one more site..."

Warping in there will be 6 heavy missile turrets. After about a minute the first wave will spawn. Further triggers are time based, about a wave a minute for 2-3 waves. Triggers after this appear to be attacking ships in previous waves, not their destruction. At any time there will likely be 6 cruisers, a few destroyers, and a dozen frigates- the final wave of time based waves was entirely elite frigates and destroyers. All frigates, cruisers and battlecruisers are elite, neuting ships can neut to 40km. Very heavy tracking disruption throughout. If using missiles, precisions or even light missile refits may be necessary due to the number of frigates.

Note- Many of the frigates will web and/or scram, and there will be a lot of them!

Getting the station to under 5% hull (takes A LOT of time- estimated EHP is ~250k) spawns a BS (Blood messiah). The station itself contain junk. Destroying the Messiah triggers the escalation complete. (may also be total destruction of the station- recommended to leave it alive if possible, so that a warpout does not despawn the Messiah). The Messiah will spawn approximately 100km behind, to the left, and slightly below the station. Though it will hold 1k m/s for 10 seconds after warping in, it will slow back to 100m/s to be easily caught. Has piss-poor tracking, tanks about 150-200 DPS.

Blood messiah may drop 0-3 Corpii A-Type modules and Dark Blood faction modules.
