Epic Arc Overview

Chapter agent: Nilf Abruskur
Agent corporation: Republic Security Services
Agent location: Aldrat, RSS Liaison Headquarters

Important notes :

* Your standings is only checked by the starter agent. Once you are on the epic arc, subsequent agents will no longer make standings checks.

* This means, within this epic arc, you can choose to run missions for ANY faction regardless of your standings with them.

Faction: Mercenaries
Mission type: Encounter
Location: Jark (Derelik)
Space type: Normal space
Damage dealt: All
Web/Scramble: Wingman, Spider Drone

Fly 11 jumps to Jark in Derelik to pick up an item (Encrypted Tranmission, 0.1m3).

This is actually an encouter. Non-deadspace, no acceleration gate. Warps in at 40k from target (Tili's Brothel). When you get close (28km) to the Red Light Palace a number of Mercenary NPCs will spawn within a few KM, doing quite a bit of mixed-type damage. Recommend short range heavy weapons for the BSs and longer range light weapons and drones for the cruisers and frigates.

Initial Group (5 - 20km)

2 frigates - Mercenary Wingman web
4 cruiser - Mercenary Commander, orbit at 14k
5 battleships - Mercenary Overlord; scourge heavy missile trigger

Trigger is probably last Overlord.

Wave 2 (5-20km)

2 frigates - Mercenary Wingman web
6 cruisers - Mercenary Commander
4 battleships - Mercenary Overlord trigger

Trigger is probably last Overlord.

Wave 3 (5-20km)

9 frigates - 3 Spider Drone web, 2 Mercenary Wingman web, 4 Mercenary Elite Fighter
3 battleships - Mercenary Overlord

You will need to kill the NPCs to complete the mission; just tanking them, picking up the Encrypted Transmission and returning to the agent is not sufficient.

Mission 3 - Who Art in Heaven

Faction: Angel
Mission type: Encounter
Space type: Normal space
Damage dealt: Explosive (62%)
Web/Scramble: didn't let any frigates get close enough to find out

Note
The mission info says they are sending you to Arzad (which is Amarr low-sec) but for me the mission was actually in Erstur 1 jump from Aldrat (RSS Liaison Headquarters, agent home base).

Initial Spawn

Entire room aggros.

Group 1 (20-40K)

7 frigates (Arch Gistii Hunter, Arch Gistii Impaler)
4 cruisers (Arch Gistum Breaker, Arch Gistum Defeater)
7 battleships (Gist Cherubim, Gist Seraphim, Gist Throne)

Group 2 (70-90K)

5 frigates (Gistii Hunter)
3 frigates (Gistii Impaler)
3 cruisers (Gistatis Praefectus)
3 frigates (Arch Gistii Hunter)

Mission 4 - Playing All Their Cards

Faction: Angel
Mission type: Encounter
Space Type: normal
Does this need hacking skills?

Bad guys warp in at >100km
1 big blob

11 frigs (1 hijacker, 4 hunter, 3 impaler, 2 rogue, 1 thug)
4 cruisers (1 phalanx, 2 defeater, 1 centurion)

5 frigate (Gistor Seizor)
1 frigate (Gistor trasher)
