Shadow Serpentis Complex with two rooms. Rated as difficult.

1st Room - 12 BS (8 x 50km, 4 x 10km), 3 BC, 4 HAC, 3 Frigs, Sentrys

'Gate to Sarpati Luxury Lodge' unlocked with shadow serpentis crystal tag which is used up on activation. It may also be unlocked by destroying the Core Officer's Quarters. Note that attacking the Officer Quarters causes a very large amount of Core Grand Admiral battleships and scrambling frigates to spawn. My "very large" spawn upon killing the Officer Quarters consisted of 5 elite frigates, 7 Core Grand Admirals (long range), and 5 Core Lord Admirals (short range).

2nd Room - 2 frigs, 3 BS, 2 BC, 2 HAC, 5 x Siege Blaster Cannon (lots of dps and lots of hit points).

After killing the first wave and engaging the station, a large number of Core BS and assorted ships comes in, in detail about 15 BS, 4 CR, 5 Frigs. There should be a Shadow Serpentis BS.

After killing Shadow Serpentis BS or Sarpati Luxury Lodge you might get the escalation Serpentis Secrets:

"As the dust settles from the battle, you receive a transmission from someone claiming to be a local vigilante who congratulates you on a job well done. Your computers run a check on his ship ID´s and other info they can gather on him in such a short period of time, but come up with nothing. He is at least not a part of any pirate faction, nor seems he to represent any of the official states in the galaxy. This person continues to welcome you to the area and offers to point you to some other Serpentis bases he knows about and have been a menace for the local population. If you want to come and meet him, he will lead the way."

The first room isn't that hard and should be no problem. The second room has a VERY high dps, the siege blasters will have significant impact on your tank.

Hint: Orbiting at a very close range to one of the blaster sentrys would take out a bit of dps.
