Note 1: Under the group listings in this report 'ship/ship' indicates that NPC ship names may vary but the number of ships of that class eg. (Cruiser) is the same - ie. '2 Corpior Bishop/Seer (Battlecruiser)' indicates that there are 2 Battlecruisers but they may be named either Bishop OR Seer since the names are random).
Note 2: Some parts have different rats (So far part 7, 8 and 10). You might encounter Blood Raiders, Gurista Pirates or Sansha Nation.

As they are behind the acc gate they take a bit more time to do than normally.
The omber is worth more than the mission bonus. But you can(or i did) make in time to get the bonus reward as well. (using 2 hulks)
Stage 2
This stage varied quite a bit on the 2 occasions I tried. The Zerak Cheryn version is at 10-20k on warp in & in his Gallente cruiser can be extremely harsh
at close range and would be best taken out first if you can tank the two webbing frigates.
The Kuran 'Scarface' Lonan version (Caldari based) is at 40-50k on warp in & and is easy to tank.

Stage 1
Warp in, 5 groups. Once dealing with the instant aggro from group 1 the remaining groups are at extreme range. All ships may aggro on attacking any one ship. Ships may also switch target to aggro drones if drones attack the sentries. The Tower Sentries are proximity activated and will aggro as soon as you get within 80km, so going for one of the middle ones will possibly put you in range of 2 others. Tower Sentries range is limited to 80km.

Faction: Gurista Pirates
Mission type: Deadspace
Damage dealt: Kin/therm
Reccomended damage: Kin/therm
Completed with Raven (3x kin hardeners)
1st room -- two BC, 2 sentry tower III, 4 des, 2 frigs
2nd room -- immediate agro from 1st goup at range of 7km ... one cruiser, two webbing frigates, one webbing elite frigate
groups 2 thru 5 will not agro until attacked
g2: 3 cruisers
g3: 2 cruisers, 4 frigs
g4: 2 cruisers, 4 des
g5: one BC, 5 des
3rd room -- immediate agro on warp in from 1st group of four frigates and two cruisers -- range under 10km
remaining groups will not agro until attacked unless you attack the control tower -- then they ALL agro immediately
g2: 3 BC near the tower. There is no proximity agro afaik ... i got within 14km and it didn't happen
g3: [left side] 4 Bs [800k to 1m]; 6 BC; 4 elite jamming frigates
g4: 4 BS [1.25m each], 5 BC, 5 des
My Raven was unable to deal damage fast enough on the BSs in group three while equipped with six cruise missile launchers. Had to leave and re-arm with torps.
After salvaging all wrecks from groups 1 thru 3, I destroyed the Control tower, grabbed the loot, and warped out.
Ganged partner inside the room was not attacked at all, except by the inst. argo groups in room 2 and 3. Suspect this would have stayed same as long as it attacks nothing. Salvaging was safe for this char.
After you warp out against g3 or 4 in room three, the remaining ships will return to their start position and wait. Re-entering the room will not cause them to agro again until attacked.
Only those ships that attack something [ship, tower, sentry] will be attacked by any rat other than the 'instant agro' groups.
