Operation: The Pacifism Defect

The Pacifism Defect is an event released with Update 19.12 (2017-03-02). The Tenno must protect Grineer defectors known as the Kavor Defectors from the Infestation. This event began on Thursday, March 2 2017, and will end on Thursday, March 9 2017.

The Infestation has overrun a convoy of allied ships and forced the surviving crew into emergency safe rooms. They’re holding on for now, but without your support, they’ll die on those ships.

Before you go, you should know something; the crew is Grineer. But not just any Grineer, they’re Kavor Defectors, pacifists who deserted Sargas Ruks army when they could no longer bring themselves to kill for him. They don’t want to fight anymore, not for the Grineer, and not for Steel Meridian. All they desire is a peaceful life, but that won’t come easy; Sargas Ruk is hot on their trail and desperate to make an example of them.

The Kavor need evacuation, will you answer this call?

What You Need To Do

Time is running out; the Infestation is growing and spreading quickly as the dead join their side. Rescue as many survivors as you can by clearing a path through the Infestation and leading them to the escape pods. The survivors are susceptible to environmental damage and will need to be healed using the Med Towers throughout the ship! Keep them alive as you escort them through the hostile ship that was once their only hope of peace.

What You Need To Know

Important information before you go, Tenno: the crew is comprised of Kavor Defectors -- pacifists who deserted Sargas Ruk’s army when they could no longer bring themselves to kill for him. They don’t want to fight anymore, neither for the Grineer nor the Steel Meridian. All they desire is a peaceful life. This will not be easy as Sargas Ruk is hot on their trail and desperate to make an example of them.

• The Kavor will listen to you: be strategic when you tell them to make a break for the next point.
• The Kavor can be rushed: When The Lotus discovers new groups of Kavor, you can speed up their evacuation if you think you can handle more frequent groups.
• New Gear: Your Clan will house new ‘Stim’ Technology that can be used for different results on the Kavor. Use them wisely! You can craft them using SYNTHULA found for a limited time in Low Level Endless missions, Low Level Spy missions and specific Alerts!

• Trinity's Blessing works on the defectors, allowing you to heal and defend them.
• Limbo can Banish defectors to the Rift.
• Consider equipping the Rejuvenation aura as this heals defectors.
