}}==General Info==
'''Booster R&D''' expedition is an [[Escalating encounters|escalation]] of the '[[Serpentis Vigil]]' combat site found by [[Probing]] for [[Exploration guide|exploration]] sites. This expedition consists of four different open area locations (no acceleration gates) starting in a [[Highsec|High Security]] system with the last location in a [[Lowsec|Low Security]] system. The NPC ships encountered range from Frigate class to Battlecruiser class.

==Escalation Start==
Destroying the NPC '''Tago Uriken''' in the second pocket of [[Serpentis Vigil]] will trigger this [[Escalating encounters|escalation]] with this pop up message.
{{quote|Going through the items found in the Serpentis outpost, you notice some unused boosters still in their original packs complete with documentation and bear the seal of the Serpentis Corporation. The documentation notes further that these boosters as "Field Test" material and not for common consumption and at the bottom there is ordering info, stating item number and the makers electronic address. Feeling it is worth a shot, you set your communication instruments to emulate those of the Serpentis facility you just laid to waste, feed in the booster factory addy and hit send. And lo and behold, you get an instant reply, a sleepy sounding female voice says "SC medical research 504, good day. How may I help you? Oh! It is Vigil 15? I have a message for you from the supply office, they say you are late. Get to G5, pick up the materials and get here as soon as possible" She adds information on the location and tells you to talk to Nadir, also at G5 if there is anything. And with that she is off the air. }}

==NPC's, Spawn and Trigger Information==
===First Location===
;'''Initial Spawn'''
:6 x {{ShipType|Elite Frigate}} Harvester Guard (Coreli Guardian Protector)

:1 x {{ShipType|Commander Cruiser}} Shadow Serpentis Chief Spy/Watchman {{Special|Trigger}}

;'''Structures'''

{{quote|Escalation Message: Suddenly the channel comes alive with the Serpentis lady from the medical station again. "SCmr504 to Vigil 15, divert to a new location, we have news of pirate activity at G5, confirm please!" You broadcast a reply with the identification from the one of the ships you destroyed back at the Serpentis Vigil station, which seems to be sufficient for her; she says that you should stay off the air for security reasons and that she will contact you soon again with further instructions. }}

===Second Location===
;'''Initial Spawn'''
:4 x {{ShipType|Destroyer}} Corelior Cannoner
:3 x {{ShipType|Elite Cruiser}} Corelum Guardian Chief Defender/Infantry

;'''Wave 2'''
:3 x {{ShipType|Elite Frigate}} Coreli Guardian Initiate {{EWar|Sensor Dampener}}

{{quote|Escalation message: Again your radio comes alive with the voice of this femme serpentia "This is an important security announcement, all ships in G5, G6, G8 and G9: evacuate immediately to a new location and wait for security forces to escort you back to base." It seems like your little enterprise has made the local division of the Serpentis organization a bit confused, perhaps they are not used to be the hunted. This message was a bit troubling though... you can expect two whole gas mining teams and a security team of an undisclosed size. You need to be more careful here... }}

===Third Location===
{{hint|A Fleet split into 4 squads (1 squad for each NPC group) could be formed for this expedition location to collect bounty's and loot from all NPC groups and possible spawns.}}

;'''1st Group @ 120 km'''
:11 x {{ShipType|Elite Cruiser}} Corelum Guardian Chief Protector
:4 x {{ShipType|Battlecruiser}} Corelatis Wing Leader
:7 x {{ShipType|Battlecruiser}} Corelatis Squad Leader

;'''2nd Group @ 130 km'''
:7 x {{ShipType|Elite Cruiser}} Corelum Guardian Chief Defender
:6 x {{ShipType|Battlecruiser}} Corelatis Wing Leader

;'''3rd Group @ 140 km'''
:6 x {{ShipType|Elite Cruiser}} Corelum Guardian Chief Defender
:3 x {{ShipType|Battlecruiser}} Corelatis Wing Leader
:4 x {{ShipType|Battlecruiser}} Corelatis Squad Leader

;'''4th Group @ 200 km'''

:14 x {{ShipType|Elite Cruiser}} Corelum Guardian Chief Protector {{EWar|EWar}}
:10 x {{ShipType|Battlecruiser}} Corelatis Wing Leader
:3 x {{ShipType|Battlecruiser}} Corelatis Squad Leader {{Special|Trigger}}

{{quote|You have obviously entered the location a bit wrong and whether it was your subconcience trying to keep you out of trouble, or just some finger trouble when you engaged the numpad, it was probably for the best, as there seems to be a huge group of Serpentis gathering.}}

{{note|While cloaked and counting NPC's, the escalation pop up message and local chat message appeared. Seems this is a timed message after warping to site. Expedition ended for me at this location with the Escalation pop up message. I engaged Group 4 and killed the Commander NPC first, then proceded to work on the rest of the group. Destroyed about 3/4 of Group 4, then killed trigger and started on the spawn.}}

;'''1st Spawn'''
:4 x {{ShipType|Elite Frigate}} Coreli Guardian Patroller (EWAR)
:4 x {{ShipType|Destroyer}} Corelior Infantry

;'''2nd Spawn'''
:3 x {{ShipType|Elite Frigate}} Coreli Guardian Patroller (EWAR)
:3 x {{ShipType|Battlecruiser}} Corelatis Platoon Leader

{{note| After destroying the 1st spawn group, I started back to finish Group 4 when all the groups warped out leaving the 2nd spawn group. Probably a timed warp out for the 4 NPC Groups after Commander NPC is destroyed or after entering site. Spent about 15 minutes making notes and maneuvering ship towards Commander NPC in Group 4. Had destroyed 24 NPC's before all groups warped out leaving the 2nd spawn of 6 NPC's. Total kill was 30 NPC's out of 90+ NPC's available. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd NPC groups probably have triggers and spawns as well.}}

{{note| The fleets did not vanish because of a timed de-spawn. I believe that what is happening is that the warp in point to the escalation is close to the boundary of the grid. When you fly towards the wrong group you cross the grid boundary and the escalation de-spawns because no-one is on the encounter's grid any more. You can test this by having a cloaked friend sit at the warp-in point and killing all the rats - your combat ship can fly right up to each group without them de-spawning whereas attempting to do so with only a short range combat ship present inevitably leads to a 'mass warpout'. A high range ship like a tengu can move just far enough from the warp in to engage the closest member of each group and kill the rest as they fly towards you without triggering the despawn, this lets a solo pilot kill all of the 140ish ships in the escalation. }}

{{quote|Dead End Message: You follow the coming and going of the Serpentis who are seemingly unaware there is an enemy amongst them. When they start warping out again, you position your scanners, let your instruments run a tracking routine, sit back and hope for the best. And you win! The probability of loosing s simple destination track on a fleet like this is according to your instruments around 23100 to one, and you managed to do exactly that. You make a mental note to buy a ticket in The Forge Lottery the next time you are up in Jita.}}
{{quote|Escalation Message: You follow the coming and going of the Serpentis who are seemingly unaware there is an enemy amongst them. When they start warping out again, you position your scanners, let your instruments run a tracking routine, sit back and hope for the best. And yes, you do indeed get a feedback indicating a location not too far away as their destination. If they have stuck their plans, this should be the site of the Serpentis medical research facility! }}

{{Hint|Always check [[Star Map]] statistics (Active ships, Ship kills, Pod kills, etc) of Low Security and Null Security systems first before entering. Fitting a Cloaking Device module on your ship and making more than one [[Safe spot]] will provide more safety.}}
