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 Leagues in mind. A maximum of 16 players can raid the Lambda Sector.

During the mission, a voice will "radio in" information about your progress. While there is no specific contact (the trial is entered entirely through the LFG menu), it is possible that your unseen helper is meant to be Prometheus as he was added in Issue 20 to recruit Incarnate-capable players to wage a war against Emperor Cole and end his quest to become more in-tune with the Well of the Furies.

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.

In Detail

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 Team-Up Teleporter 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 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.
