Down the Chain
Vindicator
Serpentis Corporation signature battleship: Vindicator

An expedition — a multi-part escalation chain (typically four sites) obtained by chance (~5%) from an unrated complex, tracked in The Agency. Each completed part has roughly a 50% chance to continue, usually toward lower-security space than where it began.

Where is the Jet-Set Hooligans in EVE Online?

The Jet-Set Hooligans spawns in high-sec, low-sec and null-sec. How you find it: escalation only — cannot be scanned down.

What spawns in the Jet-Set Hooligans?

The Jet-Set Hooligans has 16 waves and about 186 NPCs: 20 battleships, 47 battlecruisers, 32 cruisers, 15 destroyers, 66 frigates and 5 sentry towers. Killing the trigger ship spawns the next wave; the triggers are Shadow Serpentis, Serpentis Madcat and Guardian Angel Battle Sergeant.

Does the Jet-Set Hooligans escalate?

The Jet-Set Hooligans is itself an escalation from Serpentis Watch.

What does the Jet-Set Hooligans drop?
