Note: Great mission for looting/salvaging if you sit still and tank the mostly close orbit NPC ships.
Single Pocket
Auto-aggro from Initial Group at warp-in.
It is recommended that you set your drones to passive to avoid hitting the trigger ship (Kruul) accidentally.
All spawns will appear near the Kruul's Pleasure Garden structures. They may target drones/fleets members.
Warning
- Spawn 1 is triggered when Kruul is attacked. Make sure you save him for last. (Be careful if you have uber skills, if you insta-pop him you don't get the spawn. Use only a target painter without guns so you cause the spawn but don't damage him.)
- Spawn 2 is triggered when Kruul's Pleasure Garden is damaged to ~25% armor remaining.
- Spawn 3 is triggered when Kruul's Pleasure Garden is damaged to ~40% hull remaining.
The Damsel is in Kruul's Pleasure Garden which sits the farthest away from the warp in Beacon.
(This is right below the non destructable structure named " Scanner Sentry "
Don't waste your time on Kruul's Pleasure Garden closest to the warp-in Beacon. There is nothing in it.
WARNING: When you blow up Kruul's Pleasure Garden it will emit a blast radius of 30-40KM and hit 3000 Explosive Damage at 0% Explosive resistance.
Initial Group (Auto-aggro): (25-35km)

3x Battleships (Pleasure Hub Sentinel - Mercenary Overlord) Scourge Heavy Missile
1x Cruiser (Kruul) Trigger Havoc Heavy Missile
Spawn 1 (Auto-aggro):
Triggered when Kruul is attacked. 6x Battleships (Pleasure Hub Sentinel - Mercenary Overlord) Scourge Heavy MissileSpawn 2 (Auto-aggro):
Triggered when Kruul's Pleasure Garden is damaged to ~25% armor remaining. (this is actually 2 spawn that are triggered often at the same time due to uber skills)2x Spider Drone I Web
4x Cruisers (Pleasure Hub Guardian - Mercenary Corporal) Scourge Heavy Missile
4x Battleships (Pleasure Hub Sentinel - Mercenary Overlord) Scourge Heavy Missile
Spawn 3 (Auto-aggro):
Triggered when Kruul's Pleasure Garden is damaged to ~40% hull remaining.5x Frigates (Seven Death Dealer)
3x Cruisers (Seven Assassin) Havoc Heavy Missile
1x Battleship (Zor) Cataclysm Cruise Missile (always drops a junk implant but there is a chance for a second high end implant dropping.)
Tip
- Spawn 1 can be prevented from appearing if you destroy Kruul's Casino before you begin your attack on Kruul.
- Killing Kruul in one volley prevents him calling for help.
- Mission is flagged completed after you have destroyed Kruul's Pleasure Garden that holds the Damsel.
Structures
- Kruul's Casino drops NPC trade goods/passengers.
Blitz
- Kill/ignore the cruisers/battleships from the initial group.
- Destroy Kruul's Casino to prevent Spawn 1 from appearing. After this, you can either kill/ignore Kruul.
- Destroy (the correct) Kruul's Pleasure Garden and pickup the Damsel. Kill/ignore the remaining spawns as they appear.
Note
- The Explosion Wave will NOT affect any mission ships, only PLAYER ships and any drones that you may have out.
