Location: Benes Delta.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both steps are travel objectives in the same system. You reach the dead probe, then scan it, and the mission completes.

Routed starts with a return to your Station and then asks you to beat three enemies at roughly 296,000 to 305,000 strength, so repair and crew your best ship before you hand in this mission.<\/p>\n<p>The 60,000 Tritanium is modest but useful at this stage, where Tritanium goes into ship and station upgrades.
