The '''Lambda Sector Trial''' is one of the first two Incarnate Trials to be released with [[Issue 20]] which takes place in [[Praetoria]].  As such, it is one of the first (and so far along with the [[Behavioral Adjustment Facility Trial]], one of the only) instances of gameplay that was designed with [[League]]s in mind.  A maximum of 16 players can raid the Lambda Sector.

A group of [[Incarnate]]s allied with [[Primal Earth]] seek to deprive Praetorian forces from access to one of their primary weapon storage facilities to help dismantle the war that has broken out between the two dimensions.  However, [[Marauder]] is on staff to stop them in their tracks.  The Incarnates destroy a number of the weapons stored in the Lambda Facility and face off against [[Marauder]] after he quaffs a formula to boost his powers designed by the Praetor of Science, (a.k.a. [[Anti-Matter]]), as they attempt to make their escape.  [[Marauder]] is taken into custody after the battle and Praetoria is left with fewer weapons of war.

The Lambda Sector Trial takes place on an instanced map and is broken into three phases. 
  
−
'''The Lambda Sector Trial''' is an incarnate [[Trial]] that takes place in [[Praetoria]]. There is no contact for this trial, though it could be argued that [[Prometheus]] is your contact. However, rather than going to anyone for a mission, the players use the LFG Menu to find other interested players. The trial consists of a single mission that has three stages: Clearing the street of the [[IDF]] troops that guard the door, defeating the security robot that guards the elevators, smashing as many of the supplies as possible before [[Marauder | Praetor White]] arrives (the two teams typically split up in this section with each team handling a different type of supply. The benefit here is that every destroyed pair of items gives temporary powers, and delays Praetor White's arrival), and finally defeating Praetor White himself once he shows up.
+
=== Phase 1 ===
 +
Clear the streets or courtyard of at least 60 [[IDF]] troops that guard the door.
 +
 
 +
{{divbox|paragon| |Now this is something more like I would have chosen for a first target. Lambda Sector, the seat of Emperor Cole's military might and symbol of his tyranny.<br />
 +
Lambda Sector is home to some of the most advanced research and development carried on by Cole's scientists, with secrets developed by both Praetor Berry and the fallen Praetor Keyes.<br />
 +
In addition, it is the training facility for the Imperial Defense Force, and storehouse to the vast array of weaponry Cole uses to maintain his grip on power.<br />
 +
From the surface it appears small, but do not be fooled. The surface is but the tip of the iceberg, as the true size of Lambda Sector can only be appreciated from below ground.<br />
 +
Unlike B.A.F., your goal here truly is sabotage. Destroy the weapons within. Defeat his soldiers. Do that, and you will make it so that any response Cole coordinates will not originate from Lambda Sector.}}
 +
 
 +
=== Phase 2 ===
 +
Defeat the security guard that guards the elevators and then smash as many of the Weapon Caches and Containment Chambers as possible before Praetor White arrives.
 +
 
 +
{{divbox|paragon| |Excellent. Now, you must enter Lambda Sector. Inside, you'll find a guard. While it is not a major threat, it is keeping the security doors locked. You will not be able to enter until it is defeated.<br />
 +
This could be a boon, however, as the moment you enter the interior labs, you will trigger an alarm that will call the attention of Emperor Cole. Once you enter, you will have limited time to wreak havoc before Marauder arrives.}}
 +
''After defeating the Security Team and entering the complex:''
 +
{{divbox|paragon| |Now that you're inside, you should start looking for Weapon Caches and Containment Chambers. As you tear through Lambda Sector, these items hold some materials you may find valuable in the battles ahead.<br />
 +
Be quick, however. Marauder is responding with the IDF, and you have limited time before he arrives. <br />
 +
You can delay the arrival by destroying Caches and Chambers, as this will cause the IDF to assess risk to their personnel before deploying.<br />
 +
But, ultimately, you will be out of time and the reinforcements, led by Marauder, will arrive. When he does finally arrive, he will re-engage the teleportation systems within the inner rooms.<br />
 +
These systems teleport anyone not authorized to be in Lambda Sector back to the main entrance of the building. You will have no choice but to confront Marauder.}}
 +
 
 +
=== Phase 3 ===
 +
Defeat Marauder.
 +
 
 +

 +
'''Marauder:''' {{Text-Marauder|Get those punks out here then! No one comes into my house and lives to tell about it! Let's do this!}}}}
 +
{{divbox|paragon| |This is interesting. I had expected Marauder would be a pushover for you, but that serum he consumed from Praetor Berry has amplified his power several times over. <br />
 +
Combined with the reinforcements he is summoning from within Lambda Sector through those gates, and you have your work cut out for you. However, you should have found materials within the base that can help you. <br />The doors are the simplest. They can be shut down by hurling a Molecular Acid at them. That will be sufficient to put them out of commission and dramatically reduce the number of reinforcements arriving at the base.<br />
 +
Marauder's newfound strength, however, is more problematic. In all our research on the serum he has just consumed, we have found only one weakness: the power it grants can only be maintained for as long as the user is angered.<br />
 +
Let me scan you for anything that might help... ah, yes. There. Those pacification grenades will do nicely. <br />
 +
Those grenades have the power to make even the most out-of-control soldier much calmer. Use them on Marauder and I am certain they will put a stop to his rage temporarily, and with it, his extra powers. Use that window to strike.}}

The Lambda Sector Trial is one of the two Incarnate Trials released with Issue 20. It was one of the first instances of gameplay that was designed for Leagues. A maximum of 16 players can raid the Lambda Sector. The trial is accessed and entered entirely through the Team-Up Teleporter.

All Incarnate Components other than Alpha Slot requirements will drop during this trial, and Physical Incarnate Experience is gained towards unlocking the Alpha, Interface and Destiny Incarnate Slots.

During the trial, a voice will "radio in" information about your progress. While there is no specific contact named, it is probable that your unseen helper is Prometheus. He was added to Ouroboros in Issue 20 to recruit Incarnates to wage a war against Emperor Cole and end Cole's quest to become more in-tune with the Well of the Furies.

Story Summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

A group of Incarnates allied with Primal Earth seek to deprive Praetorian forces from access to one of their primary weapon storage facilities to help dismantle the war that has broken out between the two dimensions. However, Marauder is on staff to stop them in their tracks. The Incarnates destroy a number of the weapons stored in the Lambda Facility and face off against Marauder after he quaffs a formula to boost his powers designed by the Praetor of Science, (a.k.a. Anti-Matter), as they attempt to make their escape. Marauder is taken into custody after the battle and Praetoria is left with fewer weapons of war.

In Detail

The Lambda Sector Trial takes place on an instanced map and is broken into three phases.

Phase 1

Clear the streets or courtyard of at least 60 IDF troops that guard the door.

Now this is something more like I would have chosen for a first target. Lambda Sector, the seat of Emperor Cole's military might and symbol of his tyranny.

Lambda Sector is home to some of the most advanced research and development carried on by Cole's scientists, with secrets developed by both Praetor Berry and the fallen Praetor Keyes.
In addition, it is the training facility for the Imperial Defense Force, and storehouse to the vast array of weaponry Cole uses to maintain his grip on power.
From the surface it appears small, but do not be fooled. The surface is but the tip of the iceberg, as the true size of Lambda Sector can only be appreciated from below ground.

Unlike B.A.F., your goal here truly is sabotage. Destroy the weapons within. Defeat his soldiers. Do that, and you will make it so that any response Cole coordinates will not originate from Lambda Sector.

Phase 2

Defeat the security guard that guards the elevators and then smash as many of the Weapon Caches and Containment Chambers as possible before Praetor White arrives.

Excellent. Now, you must enter Lambda Sector. Inside, you'll find a guard. While it is not a major threat, it is keeping the security doors locked. You will not be able to enter until it is defeated.
This could be a boon, however, as the moment you enter the interior labs, you will trigger an alarm that will call the attention of Emperor Cole. Once you enter, you will have limited time to wreak havoc before Marauder arrives.

After defeating the Security Team and entering the complex:

Now that you're inside, you should start looking for Weapon Caches and Containment Chambers. As you tear through Lambda Sector, these items hold some materials you may find valuable in the battles ahead.

Be quick, however. Marauder is responding with the IDF, and you have limited time before he arrives.
You can delay the arrival by destroying Caches and Chambers, as this will cause the IDF to assess risk to their personnel before deploying.
But, ultimately, you will be out of time and the reinforcements, led by Marauder, will arrive. When he does finally arrive, he will re-engage the teleportation systems within the inner rooms.

These systems teleport anyone not authorized to be in Lambda Sector back to the main entrance of the building. You will have no choice but to confront Marauder.

Phase 3

Defeat Marauder.

Balloon.png  

Marauder: It's go time!
Marauder: These grunts must think they've got what it takes to bring down the Big Dog!?

We are ready for deployment on your command, Praetor White!
Well, then what are you waiting for?! Let's light 'em up!
Yes sir! Engaging the teleportation beacons now! Estimated time until reinforcements arrive is 30 seconds!

Marauder: Good stuff. Now let's see if this serum from Praetor Berry is all he said it was.
Marauder: Raaaaarrrr! Yeah! That's what I was hopin' for! These punks won't know what hit 'em.

We're online sir! Deployment begins now!

Marauder: Get those punks out here then! No one comes into my house and lives to tell about it! Let's do this!

This is interesting. I had expected Marauder would be a pushover for you, but that serum he consumed from Praetor Berry has amplified his power several times over.

Combined with the reinforcements he is summoning from within Lambda Sector through those gates, and you have your work cut out for you. However, you should have found materials within the base that can help you.
The doors are the simplest. They can be shut down by hurling a Molecular Acid at them. That will be sufficient to put them out of commission and dramatically reduce the number of reinforcements arriving at the base.
Marauder's newfound strength, however, is more problematic. In all our research on the serum he has just consumed, we have found only one weakness: the power it grants can only be maintained for as long as the user is angered.
Let me scan you for anything that might help... ah, yes. There. Those pacification grenades will do nicely.

Those grenades have the power to make even the most out-of-control soldier much calmer. Use them on Marauder and I am certain they will put a stop to his rage temporarily, and with it, his extra powers. Use that window to strike.
