Mission Briefing

"Harkan's not dead! He's just launched an attack on Lord Miyan's safe house! Lord Miyan is in danger!

He's already broken past the main acceleration gate. Harkan knows our systems inside and out. Our automated defenses are useless. Worse, I've reports that several of our own security forces are helping him!

The safe house is in Choga. I need your help to rescue Miyan from Harkan's forces. I can't rely on my own security forces, because I don't know how many more will turn.

Find Miyan's safe house in the Choga system. Consider every Amarr ship you find a traitor. Be careful. Harkan is a fierce military commander. "

Objective

Help defend Lord Miyan's safe house from Harkan's forces.

Details

The same agent offers this mission as the previous mission. This is the final mission for the Amarr Epic Arc. The mission site consists of 4 pockets with multiple waves of NPC's. The mission site allows option for warp to range (0 to 100).

Expect very large amounts of incoming DPS. You can be easily overwhelmed with NPC's if you mismanage the triggering of spawns.

Completion

"It is done. Return to me, Pilot.

Lord Miyan is safe. The political situation is returning to what passes for normal. The few remnants of the Sansha forces are fleeing back to Stain. The crews of the Amarr ships that joined Harkan's failed rebellion have been stripped of their ranks and any titles. Their commanders have the Empress' justice to look forward to.

As for Harkan himself? His death allowed him to escape temporal justice. His name is being stripped from the Miyan records of service. My lord's men are tracking down Harkan's kin to end his line. In a generation, when the living memory of Harkan's betrayal fades with us, there will be no sign of Harkan's passing.

You will be remembered long after this. I envy your Capsuleer lifespan, and pray you continue your good works in the name of the Empire for years to come."

Notes

In Pocket 3, stop your attack on the Centus Tyrant after each spawn. Kill all the spawns before continuing.
In Pocket 4, killing Harkan's battleship flags the mission as complete. You do not have to kill all the spawns.
In Pocket 4, its possible to avoid all the repeating spawns by using spider-tanking. Kill only non-trigger ships, and stop the attack on Harkan's battleship after each Wave appears. Kill the wave and continue. Do not fire upon the Elite Cruisers in the Inital Group.
In Pocket 4, Harkan moves 600m/s+, so you can use a battleship with 90km+ range and MJD away from him, ignoring his triggers. He will quickly close the distance and you can focus him. The slower trigger ships get left behind -- just MJD 2-3 times when the timer is up each time. Completing this mission completes the Epic Arc. You should receive up to 12.5% Amarr empire faction standing, depending on your level of Social skill. If you do not receive this standings reward, file a petition in-game.
