Empyrean missions against the Corpus revolve around a capital ship that must eventually be boarded, with multiple secondary objectives that must be fulfilled first. Each capital ship is headed by a Corpus Captain whose transmissions to their soldiers can be overheard during these missions. The Corpus Captain appears to have authority over the immediate AO, as they will give orders to surrounding ships and platforms in addition to their capital ship.
When the Tenno approaches the capital ship
"Tenno in the sector. Terminate them. Priority one."

(when Jamming Drones are killed, variant) "What. Happened. To. My. Drones?"
(when Jamming Drones are killed, variant) "Why is their signal no longer blocked?"

When the Tenno boards the capital ship
"Tenno have somehow been allowed to board us. Unacceptable. Wipe them out."
"Your orders are extremely simple! Locate the intruders and kill them!"
"You failed to prevent the Tenno from boarding. Intercept them at once."
"Oh for Void's sake. Troops! Find them, kill them, and do not speak to me until it is done."
"If those Tenno are not eliminated, there will be no bonuses for anyone."
"I wanted them dead. They are not only alive, they are on my ship. Fix that."

"Intercept those Tenno! Any damage they cause will be deducted from your salaries!"
"Helmets on, shields up, and exterminate those Tenno rats! MOVE!"
When the Tenno are exfiltrating from the the capital ship
These lines only appear during Volatile missions, after the reactor has been recalibrated and the Tenno is heading towards the Corpus airlock.
"All crew, engage the Tenno. Do not let them escape!"
"Massacre those Tenno before they leave the ship!"
"What I will do if you fail to stop those Tenno is nothing compared to what Parvos will do."
"If those Tenno are not stopped there is a very real chance that we will all soon be dead!"
"If they get back to that Railjack, the unthinkable may happen! Stop them!"
"Tenno attempting to escape. This is your final chance to stop them!"
"I am offering total debt erasure to anyone who stops those Tenno from escaping!"
"You have failed again, and now they are leaving! Stop them! This is your last chance."
"Your incompetence has left us vulnerable! Get after the Tenno."
