Room1
Initial Spawn in the first area comprises 12 Battleship class and 12 Cruiser class npcs. After this initial wave has been dealt with you need to attack the EM Force-field surrounding the acceleration gate.

The next step in this exploration site is to gain access to the second room.
To achieve this objective, you will have to locate the Control Tower in this area and destory it. This structure will not go down without defending itself and as you attack, a second wave of defenders will spawn.
A multitude of ships have undocked to defend the control tower."

This 2nd wave consists of 6 Dire Frigate and 6 Battleship class npcs. Once this second wave has been dealt with, you may resume completing the destruction of the Control Tower to gain access to the acceleration gate leading to the second room.
As the Control Tower is destroyed, the device keeping the nearby acceleration gate malfunctions. The gate appears to be open now."

To finish the area, simply destroy this second wave and resume destroying the Guristas Deep Space Stronghold. Upon its destruction you will either reciev no message - meaning that this exploration site has not escalated; or you recieve a message and directions to the next area in the exploration escalation called Pirate's Path.

Guristas Terrorist Scout: Send me the secret password NOW. I'm warning you ..."
