A covops-capable ship is a good choice. G5ED-Y is deep in 0.0 space, involving jumps across a number of different alliance territories, many of which may be operating under “Not Blue, Shoot It” protocol. Gate camps (including warp interdiction bubbles) can be found often in transitioning from 0.0 to high or low security space.
G5ED-Y is deep in 0.0 space, in a constellation that connects Vale of the Silent to Tribute region. It's accessible via wormhole, needlejack filament, or through many jumps across a number of different alliance territories. E-8CSQ belongs to Fraternity and borders with Blades of Grass. The route in is likely to be camped

TripTik030 Expedition Highlights

Introduction

The Signal Cartel Curator's office in Theology Council Tribunal in Zoohen was quiet and yellow-Amarr-like luminous. Archaeological finds of all kinds were stored in carefully arranged glass display windows. @Jen Hoshi was admiring a peculiar knife-shaped artifact, probably belonging to the Amash-Akura period, when the doorbell rang. "Oh Strelnikova, my friend! Please make yourself comfortable and take a seat. I have an urgent matter that… requires your attention". "I noticed that Signal Cartel’s archive lacks information about G5ED-Y and its Caldari State operations. I know, I know... Vale of the Silent is a nasty place for a peaceful explorer to roam into… but I think your clearance with Anoikis Division and contact in Thera System will grant you many ways to find that place and report back your findings". "Good hunting!"

Comrade Strelnikova’s Diary: October 13 YC125 “After a nice chat in AD with @pris Naari and @Tamayo about roman villae and Japanese food, I’m heading to G5ED-Y. Three filaments took me to Thera. A fine drink with @Amulius Orientis after a mapping session and off we go.” “My target lies 12 jumps away. All NS systems: Charlie’s territory”. “Here I am, cloaked and 3 safe points mapped, nasty people around. A hunter lost behind and some locals running things, no bubbles. Right time to start my work here”.

Locations

• G5ED-Y

October 13 YC125 – Report: 01: The site is vast, first thing you see is a massive 3x3 Particle Acceleration Superstructures all burned by some kind of explosion. Second thing you notice two towering rocks, a metallic and a cloven red, splatted in multiple pieces. Probably damaged by the up mentioned explosion. Lines of Zaibatsu tactical outpost and two lookout posts, dating to Gallente-Caldari war, lies like past monuments. Three Raven-class battleship and five Merlin-class frigates threateningly patrol the site. Center, near beacon: A Shiny Caracal, pilot tag: Tomi Hakiro, rank: first sergeant (Shateigashira in Zaibatsu slang). Probably the boss in this part of New Eden. But someone is careful looking over the site from respectful distance. No cloak on (unlike me doing my job). A bad, bad Rattlesnake-class Battleship. Scary thing. A skull with rabbit-hears. Flark! … Guristas boy. Pilot tag: Knaaninn Aranuri, security. Certanly those tubes are filled with hugs! Suggestion: both these guys are friendly and eager to offer a job for a nice price but only for those capsuleers that earned respect from their faction (Hakiro: Caldari State level 4 - Aranuri: Guristas Pirates level 4 - both are COSMOS agent). End of report. Comrade Researcher Strelnikova Site classification: Old trench outpost. Out of sight. Maybe an exchange point or a proper Caldari-Guristas covop negotiation site.
