The Blood-Stained Stars

We've just received a distress call from a ship called the Damsel, and you're the closest thing to aid available right now. Get out there and save some lives. Prove to me you're not just another murderous liar with a god complex.

Completion: Approach the center of scene.
Hints: No mobs. Shuttle is pretty enough.

No one fired on the Damsel. Something must have happened inside the ship. We'd like you to track those survivors down. CONCORD is the first logical step. I've gotten in touch with CONCORD Agent Tevis Jak, who may have information for you. Go see if you can find a piece of this puzzle.

Completion: Go and talk to agent as ordered.

A bunch of pirates have been scavenging the explosion site. Go and take them out for me. It shouldn't be too much trouble for a capsuleer, and you might even find some extra information.

Completion: Kill first spawn, loot the Datacore. Bring core back to agent.

I found your first guy, but it looks like he's shipped out already. He's down in the crew manifest as "Red". I'm giving you coordinates to intercept the convoy now. You should be able to catch them before they get too far.
Go quick, though: I'm worried that they don't have enough security to deal with the number of 'rats - sorry, pirates - where they're headed. They might need your help.

Completion: Kill first spawn, loot the "Red". Bring "Red" back to agent.

Just got a message from Sister Alitura. I sent her that weird datacore you found at the site. She says they weren't able to decipher it. Pity.
Still, she's very interested in consulting with you. So go do what she wishes. The Sisters are good people.

Completion: Report to Sister Alitura. As requested.

We have another crew member located. The ship's janitor, Nebben Centrien, is stationed at a small outpost. We hope he'll have a lead on where some of the other personnel are recuperating.
In light of what happened to Red, I'd like you to bring him back here once you've found him - for his own safety, you understand.

Completion: Kill two waves of Serpentis frigates. Loot the man from his shuttle when it spawned.

Encounter type: Deadspace, no gate
Faction: Serpentis

Guards:
Wave 1 (spawn when guards are dead):

It appears Aubrei Azil, the ship's cook, has shipped out as well. There's no way they would all get reassignments so soon after an incident like this. They're being shuffled through the system so we don't find them. And then there're the drones…
You need to find Aubrei. If we follow this long enough, we might discover who doesn't want the truth uncovered.

Completion: Warp to mission, loot Chef Aubrei Azil, warp out.

We've located the doctor from the wrecked ship. Unfortunately, we've located her by way of a ransom demand. We want this doctor alive, so we're going to pay it. I'll put the money in your hangar when you accept this mission.
I need you to take the ransom to the designated drop location. They're to drop off the doctor as soon as you drop off the money. Be prepared for a double-cross, just in case.

Completion: Drop A Lot of Money into container. Kill two waves of Serpentis ships. Loot Doctor Luija Elban, deliver her to the agent.

Encounter type: No deadspace.
Faction: Serpentis
Last frigate killed drop can with objective.

Wave 1:
Wave 1:

We've gone a long way, but we've found the key survivor. Her name is Tahaki Karin. She was the engineer on the main ship from the ruined fleet. She may be the only one who knows what really happened.
You know the drill by now: Get out there and get her before someone else does. I'm fairly certain there'll be someone there to shoot at you.

Completion: Approach the can, loot the engineer, warp out.

Remember the strange datacore you found? We've determined that it must have been made by rogue drones of some kind. I’m sending you to Gallente space, where I’ve contacted someone who can help you continue this investigation. Her name is Delphine Xarasier, an agent for CreoDron and the daughter of their chief researcher. We've tapped out our other leads for now, which leaves us in need of more information on drones, and she can certainly give you that.

Erinnern Sie sich noch an den seltsamen Datenkern, den Sie fanden? Wir haben herausgefunden, dass eine Raubdrohne oder so etwas ihn angefertigt haben muss. Ich schicke Sie in gallentisches Gebiet. Dort hilft Ihnen eine Kontaktperson bei den Untersuchungen. Es handelt sich um Delphine Xarasier, eine Agentin von CreoDron und die Tochter des dortigen Forschungsleiters. Wir sind mit unserem Latein am Ende. Deshalb benötigen wir mehr Informationen über Drohnen, und diese kann Xarasier Ihnen ganz bestimmt liefern.

Completion: Head to Harerget and talk to Delphine Xarasier at V-M1 CreoDron Factory.
