Spacefly Egg (Authentic) can be found by destroying Nividium containing asteroids. The chances of getting at least 1 per Nividium asteroid is quite good however the difficulty comes from finding such asteroids in the first place. Despite the apparent abundance of Nividium throughout Albion, the ratio it is available at with respect to other minerals is so low that most zones will not spawn Nividium containing asteroids. This is not a problem for mining Nividium as mining ships will magically collect it when in low attention despite there not being any asteroids containing it in the zone. A good zone to find Nividium asteroids is in Albion/Lookout Alpha between the trade lanes from both Azure Barrier and Smokestack to Dormant Bear about half way up as seen in the image below. These Nividium asteroids are often over 5,000 yield so fully breaking up as few as 2 can provide more than enough Spacefly Egg (Authentic) to complete the mission.

- Enter: Trojan ROV
Hack: Location
Head to Albion/Lookout Alpha/Auspicious Excavation and perform a hack challenge on Albion Energy Array I, II and III using the Trojan ROV. Yisha will then say that she thinks she has an idea where they are now. Information is now required as to a suitable PMC target to strike. Yoolis, a famous Teladi whos business is information, must be found. Yisha suggests hacking some stations to find Yoolis's location.
Finding Yoolis may not require hacking the stations if the Construction Vessel AL she is on is visited directly (confirmation needed). The stations to hack are sequentially Albion Energy Array I, II and III at Albion/Lookout Alpha/Auspicious Excavation with hacking beginning automatically upon entering the Trojan ROV. After completing the hacks Yisha will have some idea where Yoolis is and a Construction Vessel AL will be marked. As hacking will not be required again until much later in the plot it might be a good idea to sell the Trojan ROV to simplify boarding operations.
Map showing the Construction Vessel AL where Yoolis is located.
Yoolis is aboard a Construction Vessel AL in Dwarfish Tinderbox. It may be possible to find without performing the hack (???). After getting clearance to land on the Construction Vessel AL talk to Uliroos Tugloras Yoolis IV who reassures the <player> that the missing . After a brief introduction Yoolis reassures Otanni that all his assets still exist and that PMC . She also mentions that PMC has been rounding up HoA sympathisers and placed has placed them on a prison ship Taranis, . Although described by her as "a converted freighter" . After the ship is actually an XL fight ship, a Taranis, which has unique design and no trade counterpart.
After the conversation return to space where Ren . Otani suggests stealing suggests boarding the prison ship rather than just busting freeing the prisoners out, Yisha and Yisha strongly agrees strongly. This means a boarding operation which should be second nature to the <player> by now, if not a Marine Officer and some marines will need to be purchased.
Prison Break (Medium)
- Board: Taranis
- Protect: HoA Construction Vessel AL
Fly to a different Construction Vessel AL at Albion/Inner World/Distressed Reek and dock at it. Speak to the onboard Engineer Jo Jovi and confirm to begin the operation. As soon as the Construction Vessel AL jumps head back into space to find a neutral and stationary Taranis just waiting to be boarded. The large HoA fleet will keep most hostile ships from engaging the Albion Skunk. As the Taranis has no defence officer it will not retaliate making boarding just a matter of stripping the surface elements. Once the ship is captured the HoA fleet will start to jump out including the newly acquired Taranis which will get the Jumpdrive automatically repaired. Now is a good time to land on the Taranis and transfer the capital ship crew obtained earlier onto it while waiting for the fleet to jump. When back in space Commander Borman will then say he has attacked the ship impound area and that he will be in contact. Yisha says to head back towards the Jump Gate to DeVries.
