Military information
Incursions sansha transmission.png Your primary objective is to assist a civilian Orca-class vessel currently being pinned down by Sansha forces. The Orca will be able to escape as soon as you can secure the area. This is a target of opportunity, and has minimal impact on the larger anti-Sansha campaign.
Background Information
Conventional Sansha attacks upon shipping and trade vessels have been drastically reduced in effectiveness over the last decades, thanks to heightened vigilance and a general increase in fleet preparedness. These factors alone make the new Sansha attacks relatively minor in scale. Although Sansha forces are selecting targets with a newfound sense of opportunism not traditionally demonstrated, they are nonetheless much the same attack patterns experienced in previous years. Adapting to the challenges of smarter target selection and improved military technologies remains the primary concern. Synopsis from ISHAEKA-0089. DED Special Operations.

Priorities
This is a generic kill order that works no matter what fleet you're running. Certain special doctrines or fleet compositions could change some things in order to optimize their fleet efficiency, so this isn't necessarily the only kill order, but it works.
| # | Targets for the entire fleet | Reason | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Targets | Small Targets | ||
| 1 | Niarja Myelen | The Niarja Myelens and Orkashu Myelens because they jam and neut. The Lirsautton Parichayas before the Arnon Epithalamus if there are too many, because of their damage and since they are easy to kill. Other way around if there are fewer Lirsauttons | |
| Orkashu Myelen | |||
| Lirsautton Pariachaya | |||
| Arnon Epithalamus | |||
| 3 | Mara Paleo | - | The Mara because it has remote shield boost capabilities |
| Vylade Dien | - | The Vylade because it increases the resist for all the other ships | |
| 4 | Romi Thalamus | Eystur Rhomben | Romis first as they pose the biggest threat, then Antem Neos before Uitras because they do slightly more damage and are easier to kill. Eysturs and Jels before Youls despite the web as they are a bit stronger |
| Antem Neo | Jel Rhomben | ||
| Uitra Telen | Youl Meten | ||
Triggers
Initial research didn't show any triggers. The last enemy killed in each wave triggers the next, so there is no risk of accidentally triggering the next wave before you finish your current one.
Special Requirements
There are no special requirements for this site.
Hints & Tips
- There are three waves in this site, most spawning around the Civilian Orca, 10 - 15 km away from the warp-in.
- There are no ships capable of warp disrupting or warp scrambling you in this site, which means you can warp out at any time.
- None of the Sansha will actually engage the Civilian Orca, so there is no need to protect it, just drive the Sansha off. You can even destroy the Orca, complete the site and still get your reward.
- There are regular asteroids present in this site. While the amount appears to be random (9 - 63 k units of ore, average about 30 - 35 k units), there will always be the following asteroids: 8 x Concentrated Veldspar, 8 x Massive Scordite, 8 x Scordite and 8 x Veldspar.
